Achieving HR Excellence

McKinsey found that the typical HR department still spends 60% of their time on transactional human resources. In today's world of dynamic and constant change, that just won't do. You can't recruit and retain top talent if you spend most of your time keying new hire data into payroll or processing administrative tasks. You can't discover new insights about how labor costs are affecting your bottom line if you're too busy manually tracking time and attendance. You can't optimize benefits for a multigenerational workforce if you're stuck hand-holding employees through open enrollment.

Final Paycheck Laws by State

Once upon a time, it was the norm for employees to stay with their employer for decades, oftentimes retiring from the same business at which they started their career. Today, however, employees are more transient, bouncing from job to job at various companies throughout their work life. As such, receiving a final paycheck from an employer is becoming commonplace. As an employer, it’s important to know the legal requirements surrounding an employee’s final check. Some states have differentiating laws depending on whether the employee quit or was terminated. Regardless, the final check should contain the employee’s regular pay from the most recent pay period along with any additional types of compensation such as accrued PTO or a bonus if...

How To Calculate Overtime Pay

Calculating overtime pay continues to be a hot topic. The Department of Labor plans to introduce new federal overtime regulations in 2019 which would redefine the current boundaries of whom is eligible to receive overtime pay. They also plan to revisit the way employers must calculate a worker’s “regular rate of pay” for Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) purposes. This could lead to a wider pool of employees receiving overtime wages. But before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s dive into some key factors to remember when calculating overtime.
