  • DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TIME CARDS FOR EXEMPTS. THEY ARE PAID BASED ON BEING ALIVE AND MARKING 25 HOURS A DAY AND 8 DAYS A WEEK! IT DOES NOT MATTER (RIGHT NOW) IF THEY WORK ONE DAY OR 8 DAYS THIS WEEK THEY STILL GET THE SAME AMOUNT THIS WEEK. Now on t…
  • JERZAL: GO TO THE HR & EMPLOYMENT LAW AREA THERE IS A RUNNING DIALOG ON THIS VERY ISSUE. PORK
  • Reads like you are correct; however, you did not specify if the employee assisted in navigation of the car, plane, or train to get there, did he/she pump gas, fix the flat,wipe the windows, or share driving time? Was the employee along for business…

  • It appears to read like you are caught between the rock and a hard place when required to pay OT for hours worked over 8 per day. You, therefore, must track the 24 hour day, but don't make a mountain out of a mole hill. An individuals' hours wor…
  • JOTTO: I for one do not think you will find a single check list for wage and hour audits. However, I believe the right place to start is: . FLSA --- are you in compliance with proper classification as exempt and non-exempt with the FLSA? . After …
  • DON'T FEEL BAD, WE MADE A $38,000.00 ERROR AND QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEMS LIKE ME SIGNING THE CHECKS AND CHECKING THE AMOUNT DID NOT CATCH THE ERROR. My mind was out in "left field" as I ruber stamped the direct deposit check. The money was transferr…
  • HR in OK: It is still a proposal and on Thursday I got a copy of the proposal and I submitted my thoughts. I support the changes, but made comments on areas of considration pertaining to the subject on the deffination pertaining to PROFESSIONALS. …
  • PMAHER: Remember that the "service call" begins from his/her location, when received. He/she is no longer free and is on duty from their resident or wherever and are entitled to mileage, if they use their personal vehicle to get to and from the ca…
  • JOHANNA 1: We have piece rate work and I hold the supervisor responsibile for maintaining a counting system that can be supported by documentation. He/she turns into the payroll clerk each Monday morning the total number of "pigs loaded last week …
  • Since the company set the system up, you should have negotiated the best price for the service and then the company should pay for the 1st access, additional entrys into the account should or could have been paid by the employee and I do not believe…

  • MS HR: Oh how wonderful it is not to be encumbered and tied down to a bunch of rules and regulations on compensation. Our state is smart to stay very close to the Federal Law/s. Our company gives production bonuses to the operation folks who contr…
  • May I recommend that you contact your friendly wage and hour folks, the federal kind and ask for a copy of: Regulation Part 541, 778, and 785. These are free for the asking. Once you get them read and study them well, index and hi-lite the parts t…
  • HRinWA: It would appear to me that as long as the position and the work performed is truly exempt the offer of value ($$$) to get the work done in 4 days rather than 5 is a real plus for the company. If the same amount of work previously accomplis…
  • IF the position is truly EXEMPT, then the company decides what the position and the individual is worth to the company, and what the individual is willing to accept to accomplish the necessary work. Every week pay that amount and quit keeping any t…
  • You should always recover your premium paid "after the fact of coverage", therefore, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly you would collect the premium "after the fact of coverage". At the end of employment, the employees coverage will normally stop on t…
  • CRAWFOD: Make yourself into a real HR and have a copy of the friendly Federal Wage and Hour folk's Regulations: Part 785, HOURS WORKED UNDER THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT OF 1938, AS AMENDED at your desk and when anyone, especially your bosses ask, …

  • You are absolutely right; that is if what you are calling a "program" a job task function. You may have to tell us more in order to get a very solid and worthy response! If the program is work accomplished in "another program" and the company is r…
  • pmaher:I am not an attorney either, but I can hear those words coming from a "jail-house lawyer" employee. I would bet the attorney is not on-board with adice for this ee. One can not stop taking out a court ordered garnishment without court order…
  • Short answer is "NO", the medical field does have a slight variation and they are an exception to the "Subpart B-Overtime Pay Requirements" as posted above. Pork
  • Just got my legal alert and would you know your subject was there on the front page!!!TRAP #1: SALARIED EMPLOYEES ARE NOT ENTITLED TO OVERTIME PAY...["To put it simply, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that non-exempts be paid overtime…
    in Exempt? Comment by Pork March 2003
  • Madam: I suggest you call your friendly wage and hour folks, the federal kind and ask for their free publications that spell out in details the rights and wrongs about "Exempt and non-Exempt" classifications. Once you get them (the regulations) y…
    in Exempt? Comment by Pork March 2003
  • CraigB: You may have stumbled into a "hornet's nest". You may need to research how your company got to where the company is with this arrangement. It sounds doubtful to me; we would be happy to pay the exempt's "agreed to salary" for making the s…
  • LC: Best check with your states' Wage & Hour folks, we went Direct Deposit, but we were not allowed to go mandatory. Instead we went positive on the change over and offered an award for going DD. You can be very creative and offer just about a…
  • Lori1: Get you a copy of the FLSA Regulations Part 785: and Part 778 read them and high light certain works within because it will come up often. it is against Federal Law and in some states their laws as well. My copies are well read and book ma…
  • It would appear to me that what you Branch manager really wants is the long term expertise of the retiree. Why not set this person up as a part-time employee; still go through the retiree stage and the party, but on your payroll system change the …
  • I believe the employer is required to get the compensation into the hands of the employee within the next 40 hour work following the week of the work week calculated. Our work week is Sunday to Saturday, we therefore, haveuntil our announced pay da…
  • Gillian: Your are a "super duper trooper" just like "Dandy Don", I liked your first one word answer and I started to post it myself and then read more and you closed it out without me showing my old "dawg tricks". I also thought about this being a…
  • Richzero: Exempts can be treated equaly in some things but in hours worked, etc. one should not try. Exempt status could be lost and the supervisor might unintenionally cause the loss of exemption. There is a reason to have exempt and non-exempt …
  • Hatchetman: thanks for the re-education even "old dawgs" can learn new tricks. But how is that any different from the payroll scheduled on a bi-weekly payroll system, which tells me we are both still right. Private companies can also be on a bi-we…
    in 8-80 rule Comment by Pork February 2003
  • "WHOA" IN MY 28 YEARS OF WORKING AND READING THE FLSA I HAVE NEVER COME UPON THE 8-80 RULE! This must be a state law, which may shed some light. I have re-read my copy of the index of FLSA and I find no reference to 8-80 rule. It is clear that any…
