  • Depends...what does your hanbook say?  Generally, if your company offers paid holidays, the holidays should be paid holidays and all other working days in which the vacation request was made for should be counted as vacation per their available bala…
  • If you give me an e-mail address, I can e-mail the one our company uses.  It's to large to copy and paste into a post.
  • Generally, the certificate should have a "File number" - that's the number you want to record.
  • I have worked with plans that have HRA's and HSA's.  I've found the the HRA is a pain- the HRA administrator denied reimbursement for just about everything, they required a ridiculous amt of documentation and receipts before issueing reimbursement. …

  • For the associates hired after September 10, 1996, they are only receiving $50 a day which is less than minimum wage for an 8 hour day.  Since it's sick leave and the associate didn't actually work, does the minimum wage requirement apply to this?
  • TXHRGuy, I didn't write this policy, it was already in the handbook when I started with the company.  In reference to your comment, I suppose they do have it budgeted as this policy has been an effect for a while.  I guess I am more concernced about…
  • At my organization, we offer the employees the option to have a payroll deduction for donations.  It is completely optional and there is a form they sign and designate the amount they want deducted per pay period.  The company also matches donations…

  • Please elaborate on your question.  I think I may know what your talking about.
  • It depends on your state laws.  In Maryland the answer is no unless they have signed an authorization.  The best way to enforce compliance with the timesheets is follow the progressive notification process for each infraction...verbal warning, writt…
  • The best place to find the information is your state's department of labor website.  Below is Maryland law, and yes it is legal in Maryland; but you can find the answer on your states depart of labor website.  The employee has given express written …
  • Don't forget if you are lowering wages/salaries as an overall cost reduction (whether is't a reduced workweek etc) you must give the employees one week notice prior to the reduction.
  • Also, another tip, you should't use the employee's name and/or social security number as your filing method for the confidential and medical files.  The best practice is to use their employee number or set up another numbering system.  Using their n…
