thanks for your insight. I am not confusing salaried with exempt - but my CEO and payroll administrator (company controller) is...this will be the only salaried non-exempt position the company has - so she can punch a clock and should be paid OT - …

Wanted to add a little more information to this....for those of you who have been keeping up..I am still here...just passed my real estate licensing exam...so I hope to be on my way in about 45 days..and away from this mess I can't influence to fix.…

thanks for everyone's feedback and real thoughts. I've never been an hourly employee. I started tracking my time here - because this is not a normal company (in any way that it operates including deciding how to interpret employment law and that i…

Good Advice, However, I am in Texas and there is no employment agreement. One of the issues as I mentioned earlier is that I am one of the only salaried, degredd employees - wo does not smoke, take breaks or commerate with others and chit chat. I …

Thanks for your replies. Knowing this company - docking my pay is on its way. Which is why I posed the question. I work my ass off when at work and we have had a very good working relationship - especially since I work three jobs for his company f…

I basically tell everyone where I am at all times - even when I have to go to the bathroom..because this company isn't used to salaried positions and I am one of the only ones with a college degree and a female - howeer I thik it is alessor qualifie…

I don't know the real answer to your question but I do know that from now on I would use a sick day on a Friday when I needed off, and then still be sick when I got the call to work on the next day which would be a Saturday. Did others who worked w…

Wow. You have both made me feel better. At least I don't feel like I am crazy for thinking things aren't right around here. I knew that when I came into the situation, but you start to question yourself when there is no one else to validate your t…

thanks for all of the info. I did write an employee handbook the first three weeks on the job - it has not been addressed by owners. The comptroller of the company administers benefits and paychecks and she is the one who quotes these guidelines t…

Wish I knew the answer to that. I have been here just 6 months and don't know why they do a lot of things. I just found out there is no earned sick time for exempt. Frankly I thought I was earning sick time as well - but am not.
-
This addresses a concern of mine I have right now. Exempt employees with no accrued vacation - must with the company 12 full months to earn vacation. No sick time is given or can be earned at this company if you are exempt. So if a salaried takes t…
-
that was my guess. We don't know the treatment or condition. thanks.
-
Thanks...I have asked the physician to verify just that - and faxed over both notes issued yesterday from his office yesterday as well as the employee's job description. I am waiting for a reply - the second note may be forged by the employee - j…

thanks, I just met with the employee and his supervisor - put him on FMLA expalined FMLA to him and that it is saving his job. The note today from the specialist basically said no use of right hand for gripping etc. We don't have any openings rig…
-
Q. What kind of a complaint can he file? I can't displace another employee to provide accommidations for him? Especially since FMLA doesn't require that I do so. We really don't have any openings at this time..and I am not going to 'create' a job…
-
thanks for your comments. Both have been treated equally - in that we allowed time off from the job to take care of a medical issue. One inquired about an job opening we had at the time that he could fill easily and has done so - months ago. The …
-
thanks for your input. I understand that FMLA does not require accomodations - but we did allow another worker - who is far more dedicated to the company fill an opening we had at the time. We have no openings at this time. I plan to meet with h…

I am new to this company. I have asked those same questions. They haven't intheir 31-year history ever had someone out with a disability ..I am told... that wasn't on worker's compensation. When they are on worker's comp. they are extened their he…

All 3 owners - 105 employees private company. Each decided to have their hand in part or HR's business - but none will make a decision. I've been waiting on approval of an employee handbook since I put one together 15 months ago when I started her…

At this point - I can't think of a single benefit of being an exempt employee any longer. I have a four-year degree have worked 20 plus years and have worked on a constant basis in excess of 45 to 55 to 60 a week and not been compensated nor reward…

ethnicity has nothing to do with it - most of the people in the office are white as well... but I am not a man, I am not big and intimidating and yes I turned in my two-week notice today to the owner who wan in the office, bu mailbox to the other …
-
I don't want to give the wrong impression. I don't pull in the office 11 and 12 hour days..I work 8 or 8.5 hour days in the office and maybe an additional 3 hours or so a week - depending on the week doing work at home. I came to this company to re…
-
I feel like someone doesn't want me here..I just don't know who...which is a part of the fear. I am a small white woman who...minds her own business....and don't deal with bullies..I feel very bullied like I need to get out to avoid the something ha…

Over the past few months we I have had individuals who were assigned to a committee to work with me on a company picnic who sabotaged the event - nothing was done about their behavior then. They didn't follow through on their committments - etc. I…
-
Unbelievable as it may sound. The company I work for - that doesn't offer many benefits, vacation days or any personal days or floating days - does give the day after Thanksgiving off. It will however not give two days this year at Christmas - jus…

Underclothes???? Why stop there my past 2 employers required women to wear make up - come to work made up and not the men and also required no bare legs...if a dress or skirt was to be worn, panty hose or tights were required - In Texas - requiri…

Employees can be reimburese for the mileage - but most of the emloyees do not turn in mileage - unless a single trip is significant. One other issue - is that the employee if driving for business - their own insurance may not cover because they do…

I argued against rehire - especially given that he had not been excelling in his position for quite some time. When he tested positive - I thought - Great Luck! He is gone!...one manager persuaded the owners to offer the rehire - I couldn't believe…
