    Age Discrimination / Discipline questions

    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...

    Question on turn downs

    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...

    TPA's for benefits

    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...

    Out-of-town travel and pay

    Billable workers and FLSA rules

    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...

    Obamacare and insurance for married couples

    I thought I read somewhere that one of the things changing with Obamacare is if both people are employed and both are offered health insurance at their respective jobs, they have to enroll in the plan their employer provides. They can only be a dependent on their spouse's plan if they are...
