  • How does the 60 days of 'accumulated leave' get to be 'deferred compensation?' I agreed right off it should be paid, but, at least in Mi I wouldn't be so quick to say it 'must' e paid or that it is deferred comp. Does not Fl recognize the difference…
  • His contract calls for 60 days notice, he gives it, and you want to stiff him for the 60 days because you decide he doesn't need to come in and the only reason you can do that is because he complied with the contract? Pay him the 60 plus the accumul…
  • I will admit I havn't spent much time as yet on the new regs, and particularly how this may be impacted. However, I don't recall seeing anything to change this aspect of the regs - others may be better equipped to answer. And, I havn't had to do thi…

  • Of course you may pay hourly emp/ees a bonus - and on any basis you wish. The difficulty becomes folding the bonus into the base for calculating o/t. Once you are qware you have to add the bonus to the base, no problem.

  • Thanks Hatchet. Now that I cgo back to your original post - you stated it so simply you blew it by me. Regarding the posters situation, she must still pay the O/T for the first week, she just gets to make up the difference by scheduling off the sec…

  • The 1040/2080 plans are availa ble only to unionized emp/ees, and, only under very strict conditions with certain minimum gurantees (29USC 207(b). I can't imagine anyone using them because they have always appeared to be an enormous accounting heada…

  • Boy, I agree. Why wouldn't it be better, or at least more prudent, rather than be insubordinate, to say to the emp/ee, "...the decision has been made, it's out of my hands, I know you disagree, here's the # of the wage and hour people, you can alway…

  • Re Hatchetman #7 post. I've come to rely on y0ur expertise w/the FLSA, but you have me concerned with this one. Are you saying you can do this w/o a 1040/2080 plan, and all the hoops that come with it?

  • Of course it is not legal. But, if the DO is in charge, protect yourself with a memo. Really, nothing you can do if you can't convicne the powers that be to do the right thing.

  • I don't understand how an employer's policies will affect the exempt/non issue. Your current policyy language, would, as far as I have seen in the new regs still be ok.
  • I hate to see a new poster get no response. Welcome to the best advice board in the world! I'm not sure what you want, so I probably can't be of help, except, that according to my belief (posted elsewhere) that the consultant/expert is the guy from …
  • I was afraid it was a small sorority that would kick the crap out of you for $$. Graduates of Universite De Cosa Nostra, Prof. Anthony Soprano, Socioapthy.
  • OK I'll bite. What in tarnation is a 6sigmablack belt anyway?
  • We've (maybe just me..and Don) been going at the govnmt on another post. You can be sure of two things about information disseminated by the gov: 1 It is done for a reason, and 2 the reason is not meant to benefit you. You could probably also say th…
  • In our area, the oonly turnover is folks going from the privaate sector to the governmtl because the benneys as somuch better. But, ain't no one I know of payin o/t based on unworked hours. I suspect that is a reason you have no turnover. I constan…
  • It's certainly not uncommon to pay Holidays at a different rate, but why conmpound the expense by taking a double whammy and using it to calc o/t? But, vacation? Wow! I'll bet you have a lot of loong time e/ees. If there is a reason for the policy, …
  • Geez guys, my first day in the USAF they gave me $36 cash, promptly marched me (still in civvies) to the PX and made me buy $34 worth of stuff the Sgt. said I needed. I didn't sign nuthin' and I don't think anyone ever complained. I'm reasonably cer…
  • Axe man, what a clever solution. Everyone seems to have a problem equating the rule that if an exempt person works anypart of a payperiod they are entitled to full salary, with the exception that an exempt can be docked for any full day absence due …
  • You folks with pt exmpts will want to look closely at the new regs ( assuming they ever become effective ) because the minimum sal requirments are likely to impact on pts more than fts.
  • I'd go with it too, although I might have had the final check made out to him, and have hime endorse it over to the co during the exit chat.
  • Linda was making a good point. You only have to pay the ee for the hours the emp/er knows the ee worked, w/o regard to documentation. I know this doesn't address the rest of your dilemma, a seeming inability to effect much behavior change because th…
  • Whether you are the employer or the neighbor accross the road holding mon ey for someone, the stakeholder is in no better position to collect a debt to him than any other creditor. That is, without written authorization or a valid judgement, you can…
  • Pay her by the hour.
  • Hatchetman (and others) thought we reached agreement on this issue a couple of weeks ago, but now I'm confused again (surprise, surprise). Are we confusing 'exempt' with theinability to pay hourly if desired? Couldn't I, if I wanted, pay the physic…
  • You are correct on Fed law. Can't help with NJ.
  • Unless there is some state law or safety rule, you sure can.
  • W/o knowing more specifics of your business it's hard to say what, if any fed laws may apply. But, I would say you flat missed a payday, and why wouldn't you step up and make things right because it was obviously the co's error. If you do, then pres…
  • I agree you needn't be worried about paying the 'actual' tinme, so long as you are paying them at least the min. they are entitled toom, including time and a half if they are over 40. You can keep it a flat fee if yu are not shorting them from what …
  • The answer to your question depends on a determination of the facts. The FLSA makes a distinction between pre/postliminary and prepatory/concluding. Generally, where the work performed has little or no bearing on the convenience of the employee but …
  • Carey - is that a typo? Did you mean 9 minutes? I think the rest of the nation should petition for partition of Ca. Iknow you guys get a lot of grief from the rest of us, and it is always (well, almost always) meant in good fun, but how on earth ca…
