Hello,
I am wondering if there is any loophole or issue allowing employees on their birthdays to go home half day or be off all day? Obviously pay rates and job duties vary and would want to be fair to all. Any advice? Thanks

If you do this, I would have a policy and apply it consistently. Do they have to take it the day OF their birthday? What if their birthday falls on a weekend? etc.
Assume it will be paid leave? Only applies to non-exempts?
If you cover all your bases, I don't see a problem with it.
At our company, we give employees a "floating holiday" to be used on their birthday. They can use it on the day of or a day near (if birthday falls on weekend or holiday), or, with supervisor approval, they can use it on a completely unrelated day.
Oddly enough, we get a lot of feedback from our employees that this is one of their favorite benefits!
For added peace of mind, at least think through the inevitability of having someone take their "birthday" time 7 days prior to the actual birthday, then quitting the day before their birthday. Will you still pay them for it?

Cheryl,
Did the "no minimum required" mean they just had to submit the form, even with a zero donation, to participate in the campaign?
