  • Question of the Week

    Question:

    We are looking to implement formal training programs. What types of training would you recommend we have for all employees?

    Answer:

    Employee training is going to vary from industry to industry, but there are some types of training we recommend for all employers:

    • Harassment prevention training explains what harassment is and how to avoid it, how to recognize inappropriate and unlawful behavior, and what the proper channels are for reporting concerns. Harassment prevention training is required in certain cities and states.
    • Workplace safety training helps ensure that everyone understands the importance of a safe working environment, how to maintain a safe environment, and what to do in the event of an emergency.

  • Question of the Week

    Question: 

    “Do Exempt Employees Get Their Full Pay for Partial-Week Furloughs?”

    Answer:

    Yes, salaried exempt employees must be paid their full weekly salary if they do any work during your designated seven-day workweek, including tasks as quick as checking work email or voicemail. As your goal is to save money, be sure the furlough covers the full workweek and that affected exempt employees understand they’re not to do any work while on furlough.

    Nonexempt employees, however, only need to be paid for actual hours worked, so single-day or partial-week furloughs can be implemented without worrying about pay implications.
