The craze at my daughter's school is to eat the Top Ramen dry and sprinkle the seasoning on the noodles.

This was a hoot, and so very true. My friend does hold up her hand to show you where she lives. I loved it!

I understand! He have been in the low 80's for the past couple days, it's just too nice to be inside working.

In my last job, these applicants would be excluded from applying for any positions for a period of two years. In our letter to the applicant we informed them they were excluded from being considered for any position for a period of two years.

I agree with Popeye. I frequently extend the probation periods when the performance is in question. What does your policy say about prior convictions? My practice is not to deviate from the policies in place. It only adds confusion and gives man…

Just as a suggestion, you may want to address that employees with a consealed weapons permit is still not permitted to bring a weapon on site. I had an employee try to tell me that his permit allowed him t carry the gun at al times, including while…

My God, this is the biggest issue that I deal with! It is a lack of documentation in general. A supervisor wants to terminate, but has no documentation to back it up. Then is mad at me (HR) because I won't let them terminate and place the company…

The employee, if not on an alternative workweek schedule or a union employee with a collective barganing agreement would be entitled to 32 regular and 16 overtime. You don't have to pay daily and weekly overtime, even in employee friendly Californi…

You need to check your state wage and hour law. In California, you are not allowed to deduct for the types of items you describe. If falls under the cost of doing business. Frustrating, I know. Perhaps if a few employees are terminated for losin…

Have you defined both your work day and workweek? Our's is 12:00 am - 11:59 pm is the day and Sunday 12:00 am - Saturday 11:59 pm is the work week. By defining it, it allows the overtime clock to stop based on our definition, even in crazy Califor…

Are the employees part time or full time? Do the employees do the same type of work during working hours? You may want to contact your state's Labor Commissioner and give them specifics and have them guide you. Always get the name of the person t…

What you can do in California is to cap the accural. For example, you can modify your policy to state that once an employee's PTO hours are over 40, the employee will not accrue anymore until the balance is 40 or below. Since it does not sound as …

The garnishments we receive in California always tell us how much to deduct. It's always a percentage of disposable wages, which is gross wages minus taxes.

Thanks for commenting on that, I forgot to include that. Yes, ours is a true no accural for 90 days. Beckie

Yes In the past we had to pay many employees their accrued but unused vacation before they were even eligible to take it. We revised our policy so employees do not begin accruing vacation until they have worked for us 6 months. This change saved …

We have been advised to issue final pay for deseased employees to the estate of John Doe. I have had to do this a few times and have never had any issues. Our lawyer advised us to this even if there is a beneficiary named for life insurance, etc.

(916) 263-1811, I am in the Sacramento area, this is my local office.

Do yourself a favor, call the state labor commissioners office. I have been able to run situations by them, and they usually will give you an answer based on the information you provided. Unless the employee has admitted the damage was caused by h…

Non-exempt, is my opinion.

Private!

Thanks! I will give them a try.

No, the employer is requiring them to begin work, then they must be paid.
-
Don't do it. Employees can't sign away their rights in this case. Your instincts are right on!
-
Yes, there are doubletime requirements. It depends on the wage order your industry will fall under. The Federal Regs don't mean much in California. As a general rule, doubletime is paid after working 12 hours daily and over 8 hours worked on the …
-
Yes, under AWS (alternative Work Schedules) there is a short shift penalty. It was established to prevent employer abusing the AWS. It requires the employer to pay overtime for work in excess of eight hours. If however the employee does not work …
-
Break(rest)periods are paid by the employer. So what you indicated would be shown on the timesheet would be fine.
-
Break (rest)periods, no meal periods yes. However if the operations cease during the meal period then it isn't required to record it.

We may expand into neighboring states soon!
