  • Question of the Week

    Question: 

    “What should we do when one of our designated paid holidays falls on a weekend when we aren’t open? Do we need to offer an alternative day off?”

    Answer: 

    No, you don’t need to offer an alternative day off. There are no federal laws requiring private employers to provide paid time off for holidays.

    However, there are potential benefits to offering an alternative day off.

  • Question of the Week

    Question:

    “Can we decrease the number of hours employees work?”

    Answer:

    Yes. Absent an employment contract or other legally binding agreement, you can reduce an employee’s work hours—there is no law that prevents this. Hours are typically reduced for reasons such as a decrease in business needs, the company’s productivity has decreased, job restructuring, or reorganization.

    It’s important, however, to make scheduling decisions in a manner that is consistent with legitimate business needs and to ensure that you’re being consistent in how you treat employees.

    Question:

    Reference checks help you verify the employment information candidates provide, but they aren’t required, so it’s up to you whether you want to do them. Here are some practices we recommend if you do choose to conduct reference checks.

  • Question of the Week

    Question:

    “Are we required to have an introductory period for new employees?Are we required to have an introductory period for new employees?”

    Answer:

    No. Some employers call the first few weeks or months of an employee’s time with the company an introductory period, but this designation has no bearing on the rights employers or employees have. An introductory period doesn’t reduce the risks of termination (you should still have a good business reason and documentation) or mean that an employee let go during that time won’t get unemployment insurance.
