Thanks. Betty, any chance you can delete the post for me? The edit button wasn't working (and now not even showing) and I don't want to keep this out here.

I've been fortunate enough to not have too many disciplinary issues but because of that, I feel that I may be missing something. Also, besides documentation, is there anything we can do to prepare ourselves if the employee files an age discrimination claim with the EEOC? We do have have an...

The question about the experience letter is answered. Opening a can of worms here but I have a question for you. The 75k would be for the year so I don't understand how they didn't pay you the correct amount for 10 months. Also, they only had to pay you the prevailing wage to meet the...

Thanks Ferretrick. That is good feedback.

Yes, I want to be super nice and send a response :). Seems this is one of the biggest complaints from job seekers (didn't bother me, but I understand the cogs in the background) and it's a push of the button to send so it doesn't require much on our end. As for agreement, it personally...

I'm not sure that there is a legal issue with this but would love some input from HR professionals. You all have been a great source over the years (I kind of miss the old board) and I know you will steer me straight. We have an MSA with a company that states we cannot recruit any of their...

I've heard that about ADP on the payroll side, so I guess it would make sense on the benefits side as well. Thanks for your input!

Happy Friday the 13th! We are looking at getting a new TPA for our benefits. The person we currently work with is super nice but she's dropped the ball on some things, including the whole rollout of the Exchange notice. Unfortunately, it may be time to move on. Does anyone have...

Thanks ArmyJudge. I'd found the Franklin one early on, but it wasn't specific to what I was looking for. No biggie. Since we've been in the system, they've made it a bit easier and a little less financially draining (in some areas) so once we know what to do, it should go smoothly. There...

Also, if the parent needs to initiate, will the stoppage be at the date of emancipation or the date the parent files to emancipate the child (assuming later than the actual date the child graduated.)

The CO states that CS is in effect until the child reaches 18 or graduates high school, whichever comes later. "Child" turned 18 in December, received documentation to emancipate from the courts but parents declined and CS continued. "Child" is now graduating. Does Ohio send new...

Was he from CA? I found a obit for a David Warren, age 60, who passed from cancer in Sept. Hope it's not him. He has great source of knowledge and I loved his story about the audit that went into files from employees who hired/termed decades ago.

Fair enough. I know CA has different ways to handle vacation time, among other things. I appreciate all of the insight.

We would limit the number of days the person could be paid out and the expected payout would be late in the 1st quarter of the following year for everyone with available time, so constructive receipt wouldn't come into play (if I'm reading this right.) I hadn't thought about paying at a lower...

We are in Ohio.

We are considering moving to a policy where we pay out part of the vacation time that employees accrue through the year. We are a billable company so we lose money when our employees aren't working, hence our consideration. I am interested in hearing from others about pros and cons to both...

I'm hoping someone can help clarify a point in HSA plans. Our company offers a HDHP which is bundled. The dental plan has an extremely limited in-network plan so I opted to stay on my husband's dental plan (section 125). If I understand correctly, when I visit the dentist, I should just show...

If employees travel out-of-town for work and arrive at the destination early so they can hang out/sight see, would they be paid for the down time (not the travel), even if it occurs during normal business hours? I can't find anything on the FLSA website that indicates either way. If it would...

The employees in question are classified as "professional." I thought about the bonus aspect and originally believed flat OT would be the easier way to go. Now that I am re-thinking it, salaried with bonus (ie their OT hours) might work better. I appreciate everyone's input. Of course, if...

Good morning - We have employees who are contracted out. These workers would fall under the exempt category based on their job, however as we are billing the company by the hour for these employees, is it okay to pay them by the hour? Many of them work 10-20 hours OT during peak times but...
