The comprehensive reform bill has been dead for weeks. But "noncontroversial" parts of the bill are being added to other legislation. The issues that have been taken up are funding for border security, agricultural workers, and citizenship for child…

This one's really hard to figure. Both parties are divided. THe two key players are the President and Majority Leader Harry Read who will have final say on whether the Senate takes up the bill agian. There were rumblings over the weekend about getti…

This question is an example of a common misconception. You can dock her for the hours that she is out. The consequence is that she will no longer be paid ona salary basis and would be a non-exempt employee who must be paid overtime if she works more…

I think that it's the state where the employer is located unless there's a state where the employee has more significant contacts. As a traveling salesman, does he do the bulk of his work in the state where he or she resides or in a third state? Or …

It doesn't mean alot except if she is hit with a penalty for underpaying. She should have noticed that she wasn't having enough withheld much earlier. On the other hand, the mistake was not hers. Someone should make her whole if she has to pay a pen…

I don't think that you have any training obligation to these people. I looked into the issue of who has to get HIPPA training a while ago and it turns out that I had the same misconception that your question implies. The regulations say that employe…

In other words, newly eligible employees should be placed in a default fund based on their age. I can see how this cna work, at least for a start. If they don't change funds as they get older, should they be automatically moved? And how do you get t…
