Hey, Sonny. Wolverine here. First of all, welcome to the other side of fifty. Like I told Ray, you'll like it over here. Oh, and I remember "Beat the Clock" hosted by the bowtied Bud Collier. I also remember Kukla, Fran, and Ollie and which one wasn…

Thanks, Sonny. Don't remind me. We used to own that team. Next year!!

1. WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR KITCHEN PLATES? White with some flowers, I think. 2. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW? Armaggedon by Lehaye and Jenkins 3. WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? Michigan Football 4. FAVORITE BOARD GAME? I don't like board games 5. FAVORIT…

Muhammad Ali once said,"The man who views the world at 50 the same way he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life." How different the perspective going out, than coming in.

Welcome to the other side of fifty, Ray. It ain't so bad over here. I think you're going to like it.

No two countries that have McDonald's franchises have ever gone to war with eachother....Maybe we're on to something here.

Melba, I agree with Nae. It's hard to summarize whether someone should be classified as nonexempt or exempt. The determination on whether a nonexempt employee should get paid hourly or salary is pretty much up to the employer with the overtime as pe…

HRCathy, you might remind that employee who says she will work OT if she gets more money that she DOES get more money for working OT. Duh! Yeah, tell her "Duh!" too if you want.

From your post, it appears that you already have the policy and it is a legitimate one. Employers have the right to require overtime within reason. For occasional overtime, a half shift notice is usually considered fair. For extended periods of over…

Susan, thanks for the detail. If I summarize correctly, you have an experienced staff who have run out of challenges on the job and most of their feed back is negative. Country club members can be "demanding", which is as nice as I can put that. I k…

Susan, my take on this is a little different from what others have had to say, but then again, I'm different than others, period. Anyway I don't know where your motivation problem is or what you really want to accomplish, but I've found that being …

I know you're trying to avoid it, but bonus money is really where it's at. We're all in it for the money. Not many would show up for free. Next best, in my own narrow-minded opinion, would be a gift catalog with a certain dollar amount; or gift car…

I agree with Lenetta. If you close the plant, the exempt EE's get paid. Here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes and One Way to Get to Them, the roads will be chaos for those who have to load up the boat and come home for one day and then head back up that …

Well, I would definitely not pay for the time they are taking the drug test. The rest of it I wouldn't even do until I know they have passed the drug test, which in our case is the next day.

Be careful, BG, of tracking so-called "overtime" (you call it comp time) hours worked for an exempt employee. You run the risk of them losing their exempt status if you make too big a deal about tracking hours.
-
Whirlwind is right. You can use the next pay period to make corrections.
-
I think your workforce is experiencing "pain" adjusting to merit increases after years of step increases. You, on the other hand are experiencing the "pain" of compression. A good visual here is a two lanes of highway narrowing down to one and the a…

We add $1.00 per hour for our second shift. In my experience, 2nd shift is the hardest to fill and maintain of the three. The shift differential helps.

What?

Your answer is 40 regular and 3.5 OT. You attach importance to this group by paying them to be there, which you've done. This is certainly work related even more so than a social committee, which I would also pay employees to attend. So now you are …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-14-06 AT 02:29PM (CST)[/font][br][br]For what it's worth, BMan, there are no federal laws that define this. It's up to the employers. Here in the Land of 10,000 Legislators That Would Look Fitting Wea…

Hopefully this will cover all the questions here: 1. A person can work two different jobs at two different rates. If the combined time goes over 40 hours in a workweek (workweek is a seven day period defined by the employer) then overtime must be p…

Assuming that the shift work being performed is nonexempt work, she does not qualify for exempt status if over 20% of her work in a workweek is nenexempt.
-
I agree with Shadowfax. I've always used the nonexempt status as my default designation, unless I'm designating sales reps. They are always exempt. Lawyers are too, I guess, but thank goodness I don't have any of those hanging around talking their s…

Irie has it right.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-16-06 AT 08:57AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Well said, Lenetta. I like the idea of complying with law, but then going above and beyond to do what it takes to be fair and right by the employee.
-
We take what 's called a "reasonable" approach to this. We allow it if it can be done during regular business hours. It also depends on the position. A machine operator would find it difficult to make up time because someone else would be on the mac…
-
I would certainly use time cards, especially for the nonexempt employees. The DOL would expect as much should they ever audit your pay reords. Do that as soon as you can. Explain that you are doing it to be compliant the labor laws, meaning federal …
-
Ok, Frenchie, now I get it. Thanks. Why are you multiplying OT hours X 1.5? When one works overtime, they don't need 1.5 hours to do an hour's worth of work.....theoretically. Also, I would include the vacation, holidays, etc. When people are gone, …

What is FTE?
