  • I assume if the emplyee worked 1 minute beyond their quitting time, the comapny paid 15 minutes...and if it resulted in FLSA overtime, at time and a half. If you didn't do that prior to your recent change you may owe big on overtime or have to res…

  • FLSA does permit the salary to be docked for full days of absence due to personal reasons (non-illess or injury) even f there is not paid time benefit the emplyer offers. The same is not true for full day absences due to illness or injry (for that …
  • Firstly, if your workforce in the company is only 30 people, then your company would not fall under FMLA (but check New Hampshire law for an FMLA type law that may your company may meet). Let me understnad... in your company, employees do not acc…

  • I think you may be taking the word disaiblity to mean only an ADA type disability. I think you can include in the term "disability" broken legs, other injuries, etc, that result in the emplyee not being able to work on a particular day. I thi…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-24-03 AT 11:01AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Remember what's classified are duties of a job, not the individual or the shift. Thus, if you deem a position of a job to be non-exempt even though it could quali…
  • Be careful about sending her home. Check your state wage and hour laws regarding callng an employee back to work, "reporting pay" or split shifts. You may wind up paying for more time that way, including overtime.
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-12-03 AT 12:15PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Why not just prohibit them from reporting to work in an intoxicated state or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, even when called backed to work? That way yo…

  • DOL under FLSA regulations doesn't prohibit requiring an exempt salaired emplyee fromclocking in and out There may be reasons for doing it, such as for billing or for disicplinary control The problem comes if the emplyer attempts to base the weekly…

  • The genral approahc under FLSA that DOL seems to take is that rounding is a reality. So, you round to the nearest pay unit. If you pay in quarter hour increments then the 7 minute (7.5 minutes) makes sense. The real test comes of course the other…

  • hrinmi, are these salaried exmepts or non-exmepts? If the latter FLSA does address salaried, non-exmepts who work fluctuating hours. Essentially, they receive the same salary week in week out, without docking, regardless of the hours they work. And…

  • The same thing that happens when the 40 hour exempt employee works 50 hours. Nothing in the way of more compensation.
  • If this reduction from an expectation of 40 hours per week to 20 hours per week in the exempt employee's schedule is permanent (i.e., you'd be hiring another 20-hour employee to do this job if the current employee left), then reduce the salary accor…
