  • You're right that an employer is not required to pay double time in Kentucky. This is true in most states. However, in California, they are. (See my previous post with information from California's wage and hour requirements.)
  • I found the following at [url]http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/FAQ_Overtime.htm[/url] Eight hours of labor constitutes a day's work, and employment beyond eight hours in any workday or more than six days in any workweek is permissible provided the employ…
  • Since the employer can set the compensation, the employer can change the person's rate of pay. However, regulations address that you would have to inform the person prior to the work being performed that this was the case. So, if you had a policy …
  • I don't think that you're going to find any regulations that address this particular issue on paying your employees. The regs address that nonexempts must be paid for all hours worked, including overtime after 40 hours during the workweek. So, as …
  • Unlike California when it comes to compensation, Florida follows the federal guidelines. Therefore, the employer would have to follow the current FLSA guidelines of paying at least $155/week or $250/week, depending on whether the employer is doing …
  • Yes, you can pay additional pay for the week, even for salaried employees. If your hourly employees work any overtime that week, however, you will have to recalculate the hourly rate to include this additional pay in order to get the new overtime r…
  • If this message is a repeat, I apologize. I sent it but then couldn't see the reply. An employer in MA is allowed to determine how vacation (PTO) is paid at termination, even having a use-it-or-lose-it policy. According to MA’s Attorney General, …
  • An employer in MA is allowed to determine how vacation (PTO) is paid at termination, even having a use-it-or-lose-it policy. The employer's policy should be clear and unambigious as to the employer's intent, according to MA’s Attorney General. So,…
  • (1) Home to Work — Special Assignment — A problem often arises when an employee who regularly works at a fixed location in one city is given a special one-day work assignment in another city. “Such travel cannot be regarded as ordinary home to wor…
  • The backpay penalty is only assessed when the employee has been misclassified for that period of time. If the employee was truly exempt but has become nonexempt due to the restructuring, and the employer can prove this, then no backpay penalty woul…
  • I respectfully disagree with some others on this post. I don't think that the employer should be looking at the request to return PT as an accommodation. Under the FMLA regulations, an employee is entitled to take a reduced leave schedule FMLA l…
  • For the NJ FML information go to: [url]http://www.dol.gov/esa/programs/whd/state/fmla/nj.htm[/url] Medical benefit requirements during NJ FML are similar to Federal provision.
  • An employer can require medical certification for a serious health condition. A pregnancy falls under the definition of serious health condition [29 CFR 825.114(a)--a period of incapcity due to pregnancy (including severe morning sickness) or time …
  • If you're going to mandatory overtime, you can count this time against the FMLA. However, you may need to adjust the number of hours that they have available to them. For example, working a 40-hour workweek X 12 weeks of entitlement gives the per…
  • A few states, like California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, and Tennessee, require employers to allow nursing mothers unpaid breaks to express milk during the workday. Except for Hawaii, these states also require the employer to provid…
  • It's not that you can't break up the suspension, it's that you can't break it up and expect it to be unpaid. You can certainly suspend an exempt employee for 2 days, but if they've performed any work for you during the workweek, you have to pay the…
  • Generally, under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), any person who is “permitted” to work for the advantage of the employer is considered an employee and must be paid. However, the fact that a person performs some type of work for an emp…
  • Employers are not required by law to reimburse employees for the business use of their personal vehicles. However, many employers choose to reimburse for the wear and tear on employees’ vehicles. For convenience, many employers use the Internal Re…
  • Up to 15 days of paid leave in any 1 year will be granted to public officers and employees who are members of the national reserves or the state National Guard for performance of duty or training activities. Taken from Tenn. Ann. Code §§ 8-33-101, …
