Do I Need to Pay New Employees That Are Still in Training?

on Aug 3, 2018 7:00:00 AM By | Complete Payroll | 0 Comments | Employees Time and labor Human resources Payroll
It can be frustrating to spend days or even months training a new employee to take on the responsibilities of their role, only to have them leave before they’re ever producing value for your business.

Exempt employee payroll deductions that are NOT allowed

on May 3, 2018 7:00:00 AM By | Complete Payroll | 0 Comments | Human resources Labor law Employees Time and labor Payroll
There are very limited circumstances under which an employer is allowed to take a deduction from an exempt employee’s salary, and employers who take a deduction when they shouldn’t risk the employee’s classification.
