Not aware of training for the military done on an intermittent basis. When an employee who uses military leave needs the leave, he usually presents an official "order" from his commanding officer.I would ask for a copy of his orders or the number o…

It really depends on the extent of the disaster. When we had Hurricane Hugo in 1989, the bank I worked for gave everyone a few days (with pay) to get their personal affairs in order. Some employees were without electricity for several weeks and so…

You can mandate direct deposit in South Carolina as long as the employee can get at least one free withdrawal from the institution per pay period.

Mush: An employee who has only been with you for two months has already no called/no showed three times???? Why on earth would the VP want to continue with this person? There is nothing wrong with going ahead and cutting your losses. How many cha…

If an exempt level employee does not perform any work during the work week, they do not have to be paid. If, however, they have accrued PTO, I would give them this option. Best of luck!

SMoll: Not a case of leaving early. Case of padding the clock for overtime. I'd certainly choose the option of supervisors enforcing the policy - otherwise...we don't have much of a choice but to keep absorbing this cost or auto deducting.

Hey Beagle: Please fax to (803) 255-2695. Much thanks. Rockie

In South Carolina, if you have a policy that accrued vacation (or PTO) will not be paid out under certain circumstances, then you are covered In the absence of such a policy, we are obliged to pay out the accrued PTO. In some states, you are ar…

Turbo: You are much better off just getting the heck out of Dodge! This company is going to operate on its own set of rules, regardless of the legalities of such. Sooner or later, they will get a rude awakening! If this issue was brought up befor…

When we put in our new HRIS/payroll system with KRONOS, an electronic time sheet was one of the benefits that was offered. This has saved untold amounts of paper, chasing people down to get their time,etc. The time automatically bleeds over from t…

Hi! We are also a large medical practice and these folks that you mentioned fall under EEOC category of "technicians". Under EEOC regulations, these type employees are considered hourly employees. I see no way they could be considered exempt unle…

Generally, in a case like this, a CEO would be given a "severance package" if you didn't want them to remain on the premises. In your case, since he gave the proper notice required and you, as the employer, elected not to have him on premises, I…

Good luck. Direct deposit is the only safe bet on not having lost checks. One of the reasons we went to mandatory direct deposit was we had an employee who stated she had not received her check in the mail and, of course, it was an emergency. (th…

You can mandate how you want employees to take their leave time. I guess I am puzzled....if you don't pay for accrued vacation or allow it to roll over, why do you allow payout for personal time? This is what's causing the abuse and this is where …

DJ: I think you are fine if the employee signed off authorizing you to with hold the entire paycheck to satisfy a debt he owed. A promissory note is the way to go when you lend money which is probably never a good idea for the company to do.

Thanks for replying. This was not a course required after hire. It is a course that is required of the employee in order to keep their own certification in their area of expertise. If they don't keep up the certification, then are not employable.…

What I would do in a case like this is...if they generally work 40 hours a week, I would pay them for this. If they have worked any overtime, there is no way that you can verify IF or HOW MUCH. I believe you would be justified in not paying this i…

We usually publish our exact paydays at the beginning of the year and this usually takes care of all questions. In your case, I would suggest that you pay a day early instead of late...sometimes it's a psychological thing...if you keep the pay a da…

Ganda: As you can see, there are many opinions and variations on this. Because of this and the fact that these things are open to being tested in court and the halls of the DOL, we decided not to dock salaried employees for absences of less than a…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-16-04 AT 01:32PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I agree, but in the opposite scenario where you have an exempt employee who you will reclassify as salaried, you need to take a hard look at whether they were misc…

You can really structure a bonus program any way you wish. Since he is the only employee who performs this function, there shouldn't be any issues with fair and consistent administration of bonuses. We have often used bonuses as a way of rewarding…

I agree with the others to make this non-exempt. Usually something titled "Coordinator" is a fancy term for an administrative assistant. (Not that you can go strictly by titles). Exempt marketing individuals are usually in charge of developing pla…

Most employers don't include vacation time as "hours worked" for the purpose of calculating overtime. Most states dictate that you pay overtime for hours "worked" over 40 in the workweek. However, some states require that you pay overtime per da…

I always tell new employees in our orientation program that they should not work overtime unless it is authorized by their supervisor. However, if they do work overtime, the company must pay them for it, but they can be terminated for disregarding…

Since this is such a small number of people, I'd just go ahead and mail them the stubs and be done with it. Not worth the pain!

I agree with the other posters that you should pay either for hours you know were worked or pay for 40 hours. I can guarantee you once or twice not getting the extra pay will cure them getting paperwork in late. It's not fair to ask payroll people…
