  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-25-03 AT 03:23PM (CST)[/font][p]Jampc... actually I mistyped that sentence. In short, what in essence I meant to say is that there are full days an exempt employee may off and not have any deduction…

  • Moneyman, the conflict between paying the exempt for the missed day and not paying the exempt for the holiday because he hasn't been on board long enoug is address in City's post above: "I'd say this is one of those instances where the company shut…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-16-03 AT 11:00AM (CST)[/font][p]SEction 541.118(a)(3) clearly provides that as along as the exempt employee is subject to the employer's sick pay mechanism -- such as an emplyer's sick pay plan or acc…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-06-03 AT 01:12PM (CST)[/font][p]Federal FLSA regulations on travel time (the various situations for travel on or related to the job) can be found at the Code of Federal Reuglations, Volume 29, Section…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-04-03 AT 01:40PM (CST)[/font][p]Are you saying that if the employee works that week, the only way they'll be paid is if they give back 4 days worth of accrued paid vacation time? (I have no problem …

  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-28-03 AT 09:09PM (CST)[/font][p]The issue isn't the payment mechanism for the extra work. The issue is the percentage of the total time the employee work for the employer doing exempt duties and doin…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-25-03 AT 11:47PM (CST)[/font][p]Yup (assuming your emplyer falls under FLSA, which just about all employers do). While there are some hourly employees who are exempt from the overtime time requiremen…
    in overtime? Comment by Hatchetman May 2003
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-29-03 AT 02:37AM (CST)[/font][p] Training is generally addressed in the regulatiory provisions of FLSA. In Section 785.29 in Volume 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations provides the following. It …

  • There are FLSA regulations that address the issue of changing work weeks and the implication of possible inadvertent overtime -- 29CFR778.301 and .302. But I don't necessarily that there is a problem in going from the 8/80, 14-day work schedule to…
  • If they truly mean "salaried", then you get a fixed amount of compensation for a specific peirod of time (usually a week) that does not vary with the number of hours actually worked. But for overtime purposes, a hourly rate has to be computed. But …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-13-03 AT 07:32PM (CST)[/font][p]Again, from the way you describe it, it sounds as if the employee leaves home at the beginning of the week and commutes to an other city closer to the job site which he…
  • It sounds as if this is the situation: The individuals from West Virginia live in North Carolina during the week to be closer to the worksites and on weekends return home to West Virginia. If that is the case, the travel time is not work time. …
  • As long as the employer is not telling the exempt supervisor not to come to work because there is no work for the day. If the employe wants to take a full day off for personal reasons when work is light, then the employer may dock the day's absenc…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-01-03 AT 03:56PM (CST)[/font][p] Unless PTO is restricted from use as a sick pay, there would be no reason the employee can't be docked for the full day's absence (I assume that's what it was when you…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-30-03 AT 08:48AM (CST)[/font][p]I'm not quite sure what you mean by "over 80 hours." Under FLSA, the exempt employee's salary may be docked for a full day's absence due to illness or injury if the em…
  • I don't know that I have any specific remedies for you -- there may not be any for the employee griping, which will always be there. However what you may want to do is to show them that under any work week or work day format, they would always run …
  • I understand. Make life easy on yourself. If she's the unusual case that wasn't considered in the policy, go ahead and pay the holiday, and then re-write it to remove the confusion either way. I wouldn't hassle over the one day or so for her. Yo…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-28-03 AT 02:58PM (CST)[/font][p]Go back to my first point in my response above. What does your policy say about paid holiday time? How is the provision worded? Or what has your actual practice been…
  • I assume this is th eonly part time emplyee you've ever had who didn't work on a Monday. If your policy is clear that all part timers get the holiday pay (without regard to having been scheduled to work on that weekday, such as on a Monday), then w…
  • My mistake. Even though I read the post's title and read in the text the the Director of Nursing is exempt, by the time I started typing, I forgot, and so responded as if she were non-exempt.#-o Hey, I'm over 40, er, 50...that's my right to forget …
  • How does getting a Bachelor of Science in Nursing help the company at this point since the BSN clearly isn't required for the current position? And what do you do with the clerk who wants to go to busienss college to get a certificate for become a …
