• In my last company out policy was if the check was direct deposited, we would still process it that way. If it was not, the check would be made out to "the estate of (employees name)" and then mailed to the address of record.

  in paychecks of deceased employees Comment by Terry April 2002
• If they are non-exempt the answer is they cannot. Time worked must be paid in the workweek it is earned.

  in Comp Time Again Comment by Terry April 2002
• Anything between 35-40 hours is not paid but put in a comp time bank? And after 40 they start to be paid again at 1 1/2? I am inclined to say you may have a problem. Can you paste the exact language of the contract into the BB?

  in Comp Time Again Comment by Terry April 2002
• You answered my next question. As long as your are paying non-exempts OT after 40 hours there should not be a problem. The comp bank is not instead of OT but in addition to OT.

  in Comp Time Again Comment by Terry April 2002
• Are the employees exempt or non-exempt? What type of business entity? I believe that there is some type of exclusion allowing comp time for non-exempt public employees in NJ but would need to look further.

• I can understand why she wants to verify the SS cards but it really defeats the purpose. I have seen PLENTY of fake SS cards so if she is trying to reduce errors in tax reporting you will find no difference until the SS number gets bumped back whic…

• It would be helpful to know at least what state you are in since salaries can differ greatly throughout the US. I also know a government page that would have specifics for your area. Post back you state and I will see if I can locate the link.

• Question, just because she is offering 8 weeks notice, does that mean you have to accept it or face an involuntary termination with UI? I have a hard time imagining UI would enforce this since 8 weeks is extreme and the hour reduction could be unac…

  in exempt employee shortens hours Comment by Terry August 2001
• The only reason I could see the payroll company refusing to process is that they are actually a Professional Employer Organization (aka Employee Leasing) where they have liability in the workplace which would entitle them to copies of certain docume…

  in Illegal Employees Comment by Terry June 2001
• When you say benefits, are you referring to Medical/dental, etc.? If so, you will need to look at the actual contract for each carrier. There is usually a stiplation that an employees needs to work XYZ hours each week to be eligible for benefits. …

  in Salary offers Comment by Terry May 2001
• My opinion is that misconduct as defined by UI for not receiving benefits would NOT be the same for the Cobra situation. The operative word here is "gross" in relation to the conduct (or misconduct). Gross misconduct is not fully defined in the CO…

  in Offer Cobra to Employee Terminated for Gross Misconduct? Comment by Terry April 2003
• Don, sounds to me like that old mortgage scam. New Mortgage company says they have purchased your previous lender and here is the new address to send payments. You don't find out until you have sent them 2 payments that you are in arrears on your …

• I actually called my state dol and they said this was ok to do. Think of it as a contract, offer + acceptance + consideration = coverage.

  in Between Termination + Cobra Decision Comment by Terry September 2002
• I end coverage and then retro it. I do this because if they don't elect cobra and still use insurance coverage, you can be stuck for the premium. Some carriers will terminate retro if you tell them but I know that ours wouldn't go back past a usag…

  in Between Termination + Cobra Decision Comment by Terry September 2002
• You may want to contact your broker for clarification since they would be more familiar with your business operation and the set up of your contract. But, generally speaking, if the size of the operation makes it Cobra eligible and it is a group in…

  in COBRA Comment by Terry August 2002
• I really don't understand your question. Are you insuring people that are not employees?

  in COBRA Comment by Terry August 2002
• [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-17-02 AT 10:29AM (CST)[/font][p]For medical benefits, this is usually stipulated in your carrier's contract. For other benefits, I believe that you can designate what you want. I have seen full time…

• You are probably better off saying there will be a salary reduction based on the current employer contribution or $XX, instead of having to pay 100%.

  in Option for ee who wants more $ and no insurance Comment by Terry April 2002
• While that sounds fine in theory, the reality is that most people divorcing do not live together and most carriers will only have one address of record. What then happens when coverage is termed, the notice goes to the policy holder and the person …

  in Employee Wants to Drop Husband from Medical Ins. Comment by Terry March 2002
• I also believe that New Jersey state laws offer some protections to the spouse against leaving him without coverage. I had a similar circumstance where the husband dropped his wife in October but divorce was not final until April. Not only did we …

  in Employee Wants to Drop Husband from Medical Ins. Comment by Terry March 2002
• I am in New Jersey and the answer to this for me is not found in COBRA but in the State laws that cover separation and divorce. If the spouse has no other coverage, my understanding here (NJ) is that it is illegal to remove the spouse prior to the …

  in COBRA Comment by Terry February 2002
• I would not automatically sign them up especially if they pay part of the premium. All states dictate what can and cannot be deducted from an employees paycheck and if you do not have their signature agreeing to the insurance worse case senario is …
