When my daughter was 6 (sne's now 23)she landed Piglet in House in Pooh Corners for the community theatre, and I was recruited to build sets. Thereafter, she had several roles (community theatre here does 4 adult shows and 1 kids show a year) and I …

When that 'general' feeling goes away - look for another job! But, I had one that actually felt good, REAL good! Small operation, basically two clerical, one a long time (14)years trusted office manager and the other to help her. Owner/boss begins t…

CNN just reported the other night that self-abuse may actually be beneficial to preventing prostate cancer. The same report indicated intercourse was not as helpful, alledgedly because of the possibility of infection? Maybe this guy saw the report a…

A nice reminder of a great story I hadn't heard in years. If you look around you might find an old (25 yrs?)recording of this - by, I believe, an Irish group - called "Why Patty Can't Come To Work Today!"

Just because the duties are exempt, the employer is not bound to treat as exempt. The FLSA preferred status is non exempt, so you make her non if you prefer. It's the reverse you cannot do - just treat as exempt someone who's duties are non exemlpt…

Careful with that contract. Contract or no, the non-exempt work of an employee as you describe, could very well destroy your exemption, and the hours worked per the contract all count towards the 40 o/t. The only way around this is if you are govern…

Larry's correct about the DOL, but your state regs will overule: in MI we would have to cut a separate check. And, think about what the Board is tellin you, this guy should never have been termed - so now you are going to further punish hime by wait…

I thinbk the better course of action is to start having you 'exempts' track their time. Now you are really protected from potential mis clasification and inflated o/t claims, and, you have removed these two positions from their desire to be done w…

Sorry. I totally blew by the fact she was exempt. I stand corrected.

Yes, and Yes.

Or, give them an hour lunch and do away with the breaks. Breaks are not mandatory (in MI), and while breaks do serve a legitimate purpose, I think they are not so important in the office setting as they are on the floor.

OK. I have absolutely no experience or knowledge relating to this, but I'll take a whack at this: If the employer is 'engaged in commerce' I don't think it matters if the employee is stationed on foreign soil or not. Reg 203 defines engaged in com…

How thoughtful. He saved the county the expense of prosecution.

I would guess most emp/ers do not provide holiday pay for part timers, but you free to adopt whatever policy you choose if you want to provide the benefit. I know a few emp/ers who provide it at pro rata (40% for a two day a weeker), and some provid…

You're hiring contractors w/o a contract now? If these folks are really independant contractors, of course you have them sign a contract, and part of it should be, among other things, that they will comply with all applicable laws regarding emp0loy…

Well, having read the previous threat you know where I comje from on this, and I think you are stuck with the 'exempt' rules in your situation. Under the 'new' rules you can suspend for full days and other than seriouis safety violations but w/o pto…

I'm not in Ca so don't know what they do...but...I don't understand the comment about DOL says can't do it - do what? DOL does not require a lunch break and if it isn't at least 30 minutes, and they actually take it, you must pay.

Check 29 cfr 541.500 -508. Auto sales are a 13(b)(10) exemption.

There are no fed requirements that you guarentee any minimum hours, what AZ says, I wouldn't know. Basically, you're talking about either part time or casual employment. If you call and they don't come, you can stop using them. Maybe the ees will wa…

The real issue is state law - most states prohibit an er w/hold w/o specific written authorization. But, as others have said, what's the worst that can happen? The theory behind the rule is pretty sound: the employer should be in no better position …

Yes Yes Yes. I was just thinking the same thing and wondering whom to ask or complain to. It has been like this for at least a week or two. First thing in the AM it is ok, but as it gets later it gets awfully slow - so slow I've loged off rather th…

Of course it's possible, and if he's happy, then presumably there is no problem. But, when he becomes unhappy over something, and files a claim, you will have been in violation and subject to the double indemnity and penalties.

Not a legal one! And I don't have any other problem with it either. It happens occasionally to us in the north country when weather creates a seeming inequality. It is just one of those things. Hopefully, over a period of time, things equal out.

Thanks David. I had the feeling I was missing something in the equation - and you found it.
