Common Payroll Misconceptions

Understand the common misconception about paying employees to ensure that your company is handling them correctly.

Many employers have misconceptions about what is actually required to pay employees correctly under federal and state wage and hour laws. There are some who absolutely believe it is illegal to force exempt employees to record their time (it is not) or that if you pay an employee for a holiday, it legally must be included in the overtime calculation (it does not). Other companies are convinced that if they have a policy that states that overtime must be approved in advance or it will not be paid, is perfectly legal not to pay the overtime (it is not). This topic will help you understand the common areas of misconception about paying employees to ensure that your company is handling them correctly.
