making up time

Do any of you allow your non-exempt employees to make up time if they have to leave work? We instituted a policy just this year that employees have to use PTO for absences, however supervisors are allowing employees to make up their time without using PTO. What do others do?

As long as it is not abused, I would encourage this activity. It's most likely appreciated by the employee. And costs nearly nothing!
As for our office staff, they work together to ensure the job duties are completed while still allowing for flexibility and making up time. We do not have a problem.
We are also flexible with this and overtime. In Kansas, only hours worked over 40 in a week need to be paid at time and a half. When an employee has scheduled vacation pay or is sick during the week and then they have to work Saturday, we allow them to choose if they want the Saturday hours to reduce the leave taken, or to get paid the extra hours at the regular rate. This is VERY helpful when we are having trouble meeting our deadlines. We have to watch sick pay more carefully, but that should be done anyway so it works out well for us.
