Sorry about that! HSA. Thank you, CBG! Good to see you as well. :)

Hi all! So admittedly, benefits are not my area of expertise. I am hoping one of you could help me out on this HRA question that was posed by one of our clients regarding the HRA set up and contributions for an employee and their spouse. (I am an HR manager for an accounting firm) The...

Thank you for sharing Elle. After reading it through, I am pretty sure that the employees in question wouldn't qualify. These broadcasters would be "gathering facts on routine community events" which would not be considered creative professionals. Its a pretty standard, small-town news broadcast.

Hey everyone! Its great to see so many familiar 'faces' posting in the MH thread. :) I haven't had the time to catch up in the MH postings, but wanted to cruise over here and say "hello" while I was on. Hope you are all doing fabulous!

Thank you very much! That was the line of thinking that I had, but I do not pretend to be a payroll expert by any stretch. I appreciate the help! Have a great week.

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. :)

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.

Things have been great! I switched jobs a few years ago and am now the HR Manager for a regional accounting firm. Its been a fun transition from my days in staffing/recruiting. :) Its a great company to work for that places high value on strategic HR. Are you still at the University?

Hi everyone! Payroll question for you guys... Radio broadcasting station wants to know if they can pay their employees a flat rate for an hourly employee who volunteers to broadcast a specific event (high school football, for example). Any hours spent during the event would still need to be...

Thanks, CBG. I will check them out. Is the MH thread a more appropriate place for questions like this?

Hi everyone! I have been looking at HR software (SaaS, preferably). Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. There are a tremendous amount of options available. I have been looking into Kronos, BambooHR, Ascentis, and Workday. I have don't need payroll or timekeeping functionality...

Good Morning former AHI'ers. Looking for a little guidance on some PTO issues. I am working in the accounting industry these days. Our managers are expected to work 60 hours per week during busy season. On more than a few occasions I have run into an issue where a manager has an illness...

Thank you Cynthia and Betty for the confirmation on this. I was second guessing my thought process on this topic after an argument to the contrary came about. Cathie: Thank you for chiming in... :) To AJ's credit, I probably should have posted this in the HR Managers forum or the MH in...

Good Afternoon: Quick question for you all: Our company closes during our off season on Fridays at noon. Typical hours are M-Fri 8a-5p during winter and 8-5 M-TH, 8-12 Friday During summer we have some exempt ees who are submitting their vacation hours on Fridays at a full 8 hours and...

Thank you for the reply, HRforme. He is a small employer (30 ee's?), however he is growing quickly. You have made some very insightful points. Many of which, I was not aware of. I appreciate your feedback!

Hi Everyone! I recall a few threads back in the AHI days that discussed PEO services. A business owner friend asked me for a referral to a PEO. He is looking for payroll, vacation and benefits tracking, etc. TimK, I believe you had been active in this conversation at the time? Does...

Hiring bonus would definitely make more sense in this scenario. Thank you for the suggestion, Disagreeable and Betty.

Thanks for the reply, Betty. The client (employer) would also like to compensate the candidates who have passed the testing for the time they spent. They do not want to compensate candidates who have not passed, only the ones that did pass and have accepted an offer of employment. Do you...

Good Morning former AHI'ers! I am stuck on an FLSA issue and am hoping that someone can assist me in clarifying this. I work in the staffing industry. One of our clients requires a stringent testing process for qualified welders. The welding test is quite comprehensive and lasts for 8...

Hi Betty3, yes I agree it would be nice if the client pays it. We will be suggesting some options for the client to consider including a lower wage/markup for the travel time hours in order to give some compensation for the ees time. Disagreeable, we are pulling candidates from the...
