    Question on Flat Fees and OT compensation

    Thank you for sharing Elle. After reading it through, I am pretty sure that the employees in question wouldn't qualify.

    Question on Flat Fees and OT compensation

    I'll admit, benefits is not the favorite part of my job. I can't even imagine how it looks across a full University. Yes, I will definitely try to jump back on more often. I miss the old crew as well. I'm going to cruise over to MH thread later tonight. :)

    Question on Flat Fees and OT compensation

    Agree completely. This is a question that came from a client of one of my CPAs. I am just tasked with providing the answer of how they could do it, if they chose to. My recommendation will be to pay hourly.
