Sample PTO Policy for Small and Medium Businesses
Some small to medium sized businesses have undocumented paid time off (PTO) policies simply because they’re not sure where to start. Employers aren’t required by law to provide paid vacation leave; however, specific states, cities and federal contractors must, by law, provide paid sick leave. Also, under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employers aren’t required to provide paid leave, but they can’t refuse to pay exempt employees for absence due to illness or disability unless they have a documented plan for paid time off specific to these absences, and those exempt employees are either not eligible yet or have used up their PTO benefits under the plan. Establishing clear and compliant employee policies is essential to avoiding...

Take QuizOpen Enrollment and Benefits Administration
Simply defined, employee benefits are any form of non-cash compensation beyond a regular salary or wage that employers offer their workforce. There are some benefits that employers are required to provide by law, such as making payments on an employee’s behalf for unemployment, Medicare and Social Security. And there are other benefits that employees have come to expect, such as health insurance and paid time off. Organizations looking to lead the pack will often promote “benefits in kind” such as telecommuting, flexible schedules or wellness programs in order to differentiate themselves from the competition.
But anyone in HR can tell you, there’s nothing simple about benefits. From stressful open enrollment periods to endless employee questions, benefits administration is no joke. Finding the right HR partner who can streamline the process and help educate your employees on their benefits options is crucial. Paycor offers the technology and expertise you need to simplify open enrollment while analyzing the real-time data you need in order to maximize the value of your benefits program.
