Rae, unless your company has a very good reason to have all exempt employees clocking in then your company may be limiting the value of an exempt category. We have unit managers clock in and out for the purpose of legal documentation which verifys …

Chances are your company should look at your classifications of these salaried employees! Are they truly 80 % thinking and decision making or 80% physical labor and 20% thinking and decision making. Our company does task "certain managers" to cloc…

Lori B except when you are in an "At Will" state and then you do not want anything having to even resemble a contract. You could create a letter of offer and in there lay out the terms of your offer. Pork

Lori1 get a free copy of Fed Regulations Part 541 from your DOL for free. 541.500 specifically covers the definition of outside sales, an exempt employee. Your concerns are not well founded as an HR issue! Instead your concerns read like a perfor…

Renie, In HR talk is always coming our way. I have always responded that those kinda of matters are personal and confidential and I do not discuss those with anyone and you should not either. I consider compensation and benefits to fall in the sam…

wiremanufactur, I would be very careful of that; wage and hour folks would chew that puppy up real quick if the task are physical and when they spit it out it most likely will have destroyed the exempt status of the primary reason for working this i…

I would think that if the work you gave him/her was in the labor category of physical work accomplished you might have some difficulty keeping it all straight. I believe an exempt employee like Controller could be paid for hours worked to cut the l…

Dandy Don: It reads like you need a time and motion study to ascertain the number of time clocks required at entrance points to allow for a number of employees that can be logically processed within a given amount of time. Once you do that you wil…
