Is the employee exempt or non-exempt?
-
Although there is nothing forbidding you from asking time sheets from exempt employees, they must receive their full pay every pay period regardless of time sheets. The 6-day rule applies to them too as far as I know.
-
I am also in MA, and we allow employees to take PTO time in half day (four hour) increments. The only thing is that if the exempt employee runs out of time, you have to either dock them or pay them for full days. That's the point at which the whole…

No, Kansas does not mandate breaks.

As far as I know, if an exempt employee works any part of the week he has to be paid for the full week. You cannot pay an exempt employee for partial days worked (although you can apply PTO to the unworked time to keep the salary whole) but if the i…

If an employee qualifies as exempt, you may still classify them as non-exempt. You can have everyone in the company up to and including the CEO as non-exempt if you want to. It is only illegal to classify someone as exempt whose job duties define th…

Suggestion: If you use a payroll service, they can almost certainly tell you what the appropriate taxes would be. Cut her a check for the five hours using Single, 0 deductions. As for accounting demanding to see a social security card before they w…

That's permissible unless state law says otherwise.

We don't differentiate between exempt and non-exempt, but we allow up to 5 days for a family member to include spouse, child, parent, grandparent, or the in-law version of the above. The manager has the authority to extend additional leave if circum…

I guess my question is, why would you not want to give him a copy?
-
For a private employer, comp time for non-exempts can only be given in the same WEEK as the hours were earned. If it cannot be taken within that time, it must be paid as overtime. This same holds true, technically, even if the employee would prefer…

In my opinion, you were right. Since this is a situation where someone was put into harm's way by his actions, it was necessary for that information to be released. Had you not passed the information along, and they had hired him only to have the sa…

Not all Column A documents have to be updated when they expire. A US Passport, for example, does not; nor does a Certificate of US Citizenship. Other Column A documents do, because they indicate a temporary work authorization.

I keep my I-9's completely separate. I have one file for active employees, filed alphabetically, and another one for termed employees, filed chronologically, with the next one that can be discarded on top. I do not archive them; I shred them on the…

If you are in the state of Massachusetts AND you are in the retail industry, you must be paid time and a half if you work any of the following holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day. To the best of my …

On the flip side, if there are any other groups that are meeting (weight watchers, sports clubs, book clubs, recipe exchanges) on a regular basis using the same facilities, refusing to allow this group could be considered religious discrimination. …

Just for a little more clarification, you must have an I-9 on file for all active employees unless they were hired prior to November 7, 1986. After they have termed employment, you must keep them till one year after the term date or three years afte…

Not only are you not required to allow him to see the references you may have received on him, in some states you are legally barred from showing them to him.
-
This was a little different but we had an employee whose license (not his driver's license, the inspector's license he needed to perform his duties) was suspended for a year. We brought him in off the road and had him process claims on the machines …
-
We accrued based on calendar year; employees in their first calendar year of employment are pro-rated.
-
Just off the top of my head, it would not be legal in Massachusetts, California or Illinois.
-
Sorry, but I disagree. Quite a few states, including Louisiana, forbid use it or lose it policies.

If you were in another state, you would probably be required by law to provide some kind of accomodation for the non-smokers. Texas is one of the few that does not have some kind of law on the books. But as a non-smoker who is slightly allergic to c…

My understanding is that the state of Illinois requires the payout of accrued but unused vacation time.

Although there is nothing illegal in what you are doing, if one of these employees ever were to file a complaint with the DOL over what they perceived as FLSA violations, the fact that you compensated overtime on an hour for hour basis might serve t…

There are a number of employment visas; H1, TN etc. which will enable an alien to become authorized to work for a particular company. You and your attorney can help them obtain such a visa. (A TN, valid for Canadian or Mexican citizens only, is ver…
