Per the IRS Revenue Ruling 90-29, the only wage/tax implications are for the employees who are actually using the donated PTO/vacation time. The employees that donated the time don't incur any liabilities. The text of the ruling is: [url]http://…

Hi Holly, As a cost saving measure, my company implemented several mandatory shut down weeks thorughout the course of 18 months. (Eight weeks to be exact, ouch!) One of concerns raised was unemployment availability during shutdowns. When the high…

Sorry, when I included the link to the DOL website, I included the link to the wrong section. The section should be "Each workweek stands alone". The correct link is below: [url]http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/Title_29/Part_778/29CFR778.104.htm[/url…

No, your daughter's company is not handling the overtime correctly. Although companies may choose to pay on a bi-weekly or semi-monthly basis (depending on state pay laws), the calculation of overtime is done on a weekly basis (with the exception…

My company doesn't have an ESOP plan, so I can't help you out too much with tips. You might want to check out these websites though, they can probably offer some good advice: [url]http://www.esopassociation.org/[/url] [url]http://www.nceo.org/es…

Hi Rockie, Yes, donated time is taxable to the recipient, not the donor. The IRS put out a Revenue Ruling on it in the 90's. Here is a link to the official text. [url]http://www.taxlinks.com/rulings/1990/revrul90-29.htm[/url] The IRS Publicatio…

Yup, we do....ME! (in addition to the ten thousand and one other things on my daily plate.) The longevity awards at my company are wonderful, but there is always a flip side. Only $400 worth of the trip is excludable from taxes, so employees wil…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-23-02 AT 09:38AM (CST)[/font][p]I have to agree with Sandi, the more that you give employees the more they begin to assume that they are "due" these perks, rather than being appreciative of them as "e…

You may dock employees for a full day's absence when they are taking time off work for personal reasons (such as this specific state law). The DOL regulations recognize several instances where an employer may make deductions, or "dock" employees, fo…

I don't think you can ever get any judging that is "truly" unbiased, people seem to always have favorites. At my company, we have "viewing" time scheduled down in the cafeteria. It usually runs from 10:30 to 2 pm, and employees are encouraged to…

Actually, it is up to the company to determine whether or not they want to offer the "catch up contribution" as part of it's plan. A company can choose not to add that particular feature to it's retirement plan. If a company does decide to offer t…

Hi again, I saw another good article on dealing with the anniversary of September 11th, and I thought it might be of help. [url]http://www.erexchange.com/articles/db/E590C353910B45D9AA3FFBA99798FC50.asp[/url]
