Salaried Employee Rights – Exempt vs. Non-Exempt
Whistle Blower Law! Does it cover you too! Whistle Blower Lawyers - How do I know if there good?
Most organizations want it both ways and that simply is not fair! What do I mean by this? First the organization expects you to work long hours and more than five days a week. Under normal circumstances this is what we expect to do as a salaried employee. However, then we turn around and say that we need a couple of hours to take care of some private business during the work day and POW, that’s when they hit us below the belt! They try and penalize us in some way for taking that time off. In most states they can’t do this. At best they can charge you for a half a day or a full day, but not deduct you for hours. If they do this it may constitute them considering that you are an hourly employee and may be subject to back overtime pay. Of course you will want to check with a legal professional from your state, or get your hands on a copy of the state rules on classifying salaried employees. Working for the federal government is a little different which makes no sense, but you have to understand the source. Until you get way up into the higher levels of management everyone is paid overtime if they go beyond 8 in a day or 40 in a week.
The software is prepared by attorneys and includes all states.Wouldn’t it be nice to find out if your company is treating you fairly? Just for your own knowledge exempt generally refers to someone that is not covered under the overtime laws. Now keep in mind you must check with your state but the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provides employers and employees with information about the Federal minimum wage, overtime, child labor and record keeping requirements. If you don't have a copy posted in your workplace, Standard Legal can provide them! This will also help you understand what classifies an exempt employee from a non exempt one. This will make a difference as it relates to overtime pay! However, there are very strict rules regarding how to classify someone as an exempt employee, and this is where a lot of organizations go wrong. They are just trying to save money! It will help you greatly! Thank You! Salaried Employee Rights - You Do Have Them!
