We pay holidays at 8 hours regardless of schedule. (And we have been crazy all over the place with schedules - used to be some departments would work 50 hour weeks, some 45, some 55. Now, in theory, production is 4-10s plus OT while most of the of…

And one last post to tie up the loose ends or in case anyone stumbles across this in a search - the DOL reg regarding this can be found here: [url]http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/ESA/Title_29/Part_785/29CFR785.48.htm[/url] and it says: (b) Rounding p…

I just got out of a FLSA training session and this was one of the questions I had that was actually covered. (The training was not great.) E Wart has it pretty much dead on - you must be consistent, and while you CAN always benefit the employee, y…

I'm very intersted to see what others have to say. I'm not aware of any specific regs on this, but we don't follow the practice of rounding the other way. Our policy states that employees can clock in up to 15 minutes early, I believe, and the tim…

We do the same as DB. One of our office people handles A/R and contracts and she is taking classes from Phoenix University along the lines of IT. It is just kind of part of her job description, I guess. I would not use different rates, but this p…

Unless Ed went to some very elaborate web site work, I'm pretty sure he's legit. (Hey, Ed, are you in the picture? Which one?) But I am curious to hear what good news I'm missing out on by being in manufacturing instead of the financial world.

I just sent you an e-mail.

I record them if they apply. I don't get that many applicants to make it overwhelming. If I have only a resume (no application with the voluntary AA disclosure page) and interview them, I have them fill out the app. If I don't interview them, I l…

1) I know both marc and 'Lass meant to say this, but welcome to the forum! :>) 2) I think marc is probably right when he says four work days, which means you would only deduct one full day's pay. His citation is as close as I could get. 3) Ho…

Since you have classified her as an hourly employee, the answer is yes. (It is my understanding that you can have a salaried non-exempt, but not an hourly exempt.) However, she does met the minimum salary requirement of $455 per week, so if her du…

In Nebraska, you CAN garnish on an independent contractor, but the ongoing nature of the garnishment is different than what I have dealt with (garnishing to recover unpaid utility bills). The crossing state line thing is also troubling. I'd contac…

HRLASS is right on - our state DOL has a wealth of info on this. I poked around the MI site, though, and I didn't see anything right off. Give them a call (it's your tax dollars at work, after all!) and ask them to point you in the right direction…

I don't know if this falls into any specific loophole via the banking world and NSF, but to deduct from a paycheck, you must have their signed permission in writing for an exact amount and to be safe, I'd put in a schedule for deducting as well ($x …

I concur with the others, tie it into benefits to draw your lines. Most of our benefits are at 40+ hours, insurance is 35. For vacation/incentive hours, we say PT'ers at less than 40 but more than 20 get half, less than 20 hours/week get skunked. …

It sounds like "security guard" is not defined by your company in the standard sense. It seems he is able to do what he needs to do; would it work to buy a little motorized scooter? (what about his insurance - would it cover one?) Could open up a…

Our part-timers (manufacturing) that work 20-39 hours per week get 4 hours (instead of the 8 that FT'ers get) of holiday pay regardless of whether they're scheduled to work or not. I am one of the PT'ers, and I really appreciate it (although I do w…

marc may weigh in on this with some sage advice, but I'll tell you that in my previous non-profit life, the 40-hour work week was strictly enforced with discipline. Our pay week ran something like Wednesday-Tuesday, so if they had an event over the…

Nietra, you're way beyond me, here, but I'm going to throw this out - what about a shift differential? I don't think it would work straight across - you'd have to do some playing. We're manufacturing - about as far from the services you provide as…
-
It seems to me that in effect, you are allowing the employee to "cash out" sick time under the circumstances where they are paid for the OT/flex time AND the sick day. I concur that it seems somewhat improper to change an employee's timesheet after…

Welcome to the forum! I'm afraid I don't have an answer, either, but this question would go better in the wage and hour or employment law forums. They'll probably tell you to consult a professional, too, and I think that's your best bet. Good luc…

Pork is right - during working hours, pay it; not during working hours, pay only if they are driving/piloting/rowing the boat, etc. I'm not sure I'd go the "easy and safe" route and pay all travel hours because it could set an expensive precedent. …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-09-05 AT 09:29AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Indeed, without knowing specifically what the change is, I agree with Popeye. It's better to let people know beforehand - hold meetings, post notices, put notes i…

Also well stated, Linda!

I'm not sure what Kansas DOL has, but here is a link to Nebraska's DOL site, specifically "Career Compass" where one can search for wage info. This is to give you an alternate method of gathering some "neighborhood" info from up north. :>) [ur…

Our shift differential is 10%. We pay it on non-worked hours (vacation, etc.) as well.

OK, 'shroom and marc, do you deduct from their PTO bank (or vacation/etc.) if they don't work a "full" day? Ex - Joe Twelve Pack is an exempt employee. (He supervises several Joe Six Packs) He wants to take the afternoon off for the annual Husker…

I called the NE DOL a couple of years ago and got that info over the phone. (Yes, we can require and yes, we did. I left that job to get married before the problems hit.) If they don't sign up - ask your DOL, but I'd say you can 1) do the card th…

If only I knew then what I know now . . . Not sure of your exact circumstances, but as a new HR person a life or two ago, I had an EE who was injured in a car accident on her way to a work-related meeting. Oh, the details - refused to see an actu…

This won't really help you, but it's what we did: Thanksgiving - days gets Thursday/Friday off, our 2nd runs Sunday-Thursday so they get Wednesday/Thursday off. Christmas - days gets 1/2 day Thursday and all day Friday, 2nd gets 1/2 day Thursday (…

Would it be too complicated to adjust his job, duties, and salary? I don't know how official your process is. Outline that you expect him to do a, b, c duties on such and such a schedule for $X per whatever (week/month/annual - figure it out). Or…
