  • Unfortunately the Hawaii maximum hours law does not apply to exempt employees, but I agree that what your primary duty really is an issue. According to the BLR web site an exempt administrative, executive, professional, computer, or outside sales em…

  • Thanks. Do the regs say anything about rewards that don't involve a health factor? Is there suuch a thing?
  • The way I understand it is that an employee is HSA eligible if the FSA balance is zero at the end of the plan or if the entire remaining FSA balance is contributed to an HSA. But since the HSA contributions are annual amounts, an employee who doesn'…
