    Is your business ready to consider a PEO for a smooth transition? 

    As we look forward to what the new year has in store, several companies are looking for ways to grow and improve. Among the strategic priorities that is becoming increasingly important, partnering with a PEO (Professional Employer Organization) stands out, especially for SMEs, as a path to significant benefits.

    The human resources (HR) are an important aspect that can significantly impact your business success in the coming year. But for a lot of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), managing HR can be a lot of work. That is where a PEO comes in.

    6 Reasons to Partner with a PEO at the Start of the Year

    There are many reasons why partnering with a PEO can be beneficial for your business, especially at the start of a new year. Here are just a few of the most significant advantages:

    Payroll and Tax Filing Efficiency

    One of the primary benefits of engaging with a PEO is that you do not need to worry about payroll and tax-related responsibilities. PEOs will process payroll and, in certain instances, also manage local, state, and federal employment taxes.

    By combining payroll with time and attendance systems, you not only cut down on repetitive tasks but also lower the risk of errors, guaranteeing precision in financial transactions.

    Comprehensive Benefits Administration

    In a co-employment arrangement facilitated by PEOs, businesses gain access to a spectrum of benefits administration services. This includes providing your employees with high-quality, cost-effective health insurance, dental care, retirement benefits, and other benefits.

    Additionally, the PEO will take charge of the enrollment process for these benefits and efficiently handles claims, reducing the administrative burden on businesses.

    Expert Guidance on Compliance

    PEOs are experts in HR compliance and can help you stay up-to-date on all the latest laws and regulations. This can give you peace of mind knowing that you are avoiding costly penalties and fines.

    PEOs have compliance experts who know everything from payroll tax law to unemployment insurance, workers’ comp, hiring, and HR compliance. It is like having a shield around your business to protect you from fines and penalties.

    Risk Mitigation and Improved Risk Management

    Besides providing workers’ compensation insurance, PEOs also help in offering safety audits and training programs. These initiatives can help your businesses from the beginning of the year in limiting claims and maintaining a safe work environment.

    Furthermore, PEOs can assist in preparing for and managing Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspections, ensuring adherence to safety standards.

    Holistic Human Resource Support

    A PEO partnership can help your overall human resources from the start and offer you the peace of mind by providing a full range of HR services.

    So, whether your company already has an internal HR function or not, a PEO works with the HR function to provide strategic and administrative support. They work with HR functionaries to provide expert advice and support to the HR function.

    End-to-End Talent Management

    Some PEOs extend their services beyond traditional HR functions to offer talent management services. This comprises support with recruitment and strategic recruitment, employee education and engagement, and performance management plans.

    So, you will not only be able to manage existing workforce dynamics, but also to support the strategic development of the business by optimizing talent.

    Final Words

    Businesses of all sizes can benefit from partnering with a PEO, especially at the beginning of a new business year. By partnering up with a dependable PEO, you can free up your time and resources, improve compliance, attract and retain top talent, reduce costs, and create a more positive and engaged work environment.

    Upcoming Tax Period and Important Dates for 2024 taxes

    Is your business ready for the upcoming tax season? 

    As the calendar year comes to a close, companies of all sizes must begin to plan for the tax season. Although filing taxes isn’t the most thrilling part of running your business, it is an important part that helps you stay compliant with tax laws and manage your finances efficiently. 

    10 Key Tax Deadlines for Businesses

    Mark these important dates in your calendar so you do not miss them:

    January 16, 2024:

    Fourth quarter 2023 estimated tax payment due.

    If you file your 2023 return by Jan. 31, 2024, and ensure that your entire balance owed is submitted with that return, you do not have to make the Jan. 16 2024 payment.

    January 31, 2024:

    Employers need to send W-2 forms to their employees.

    The W-2 form is a commonly used tax document prepared by the employer for their employees, displaying the complete earnings and tax deductions for an employee throughout the calendar year.

    January 31, 2024:

    Send 1099 forms out.

    If you are using the form 1099 to report payments to independent contractors, you must also correctly classify your workers as employees or independent contractors.

    February 28, 2024:

     Report employee ISO exercises.

    Form 3921 must be filed by mail. This form is required for all corporations that have employees who exercised incentive stock options (ISO) during the financial year. Each employee who exercised an ISO must file a separate form 3921. 

    The date is extended to April 1, 2024, for filing electronically.

    March 15, 2024:

    Taxes due for partnerships, multi-member LLCs, and S-Corporations.

    If your business falls under the above categories, mark your calendars for March 15th. This is the deadline to file forms 1065 or 1120S.

    April 15, 2024:

    Taxes due for C-Corporations.

    If your business runs on a calendar year, you need to file a form 1120 as a C-Corporate by April 15th, 2024.

    May 15, 2024:

    Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax.

    As a tax-exempt organization, you have to file your form 990 by May 15th, 2024. If you need an extension, you can file form 8868 by November 15th.

    September 16, 2024:

    Deadline for Extended Partnership and S-Corporation Returns.

    In case you have filed for an extension, you have until September 16th to submit your completed partnership or S-corporation returns and also this is the deadline for estimated tax payments as well.

    October 15, 2024:

    Deadline for Extended C-Corporation Returns.

    C-Corporations with extensions have until October 15th to file their completed returns.

    January 15, 2025:

    Tax payment due in the fourth quarter of 2024.

    This is your last estimated quarterly tax payment due in 2024. If you decide to pay your entire tax liability from your previous tax year, any outstanding taxes will be due at the time you file your 2024 Individual Tax Return by the April 2025 due date.

    Final Words

    It is important to remember that the most effective way to prepare for tax season is to begin planning ahead of time, maintain a well-structured workflow, and make the most of available resources. With these tips in mind, you can approach the tax season with peace of mind.

    Have you secured a financially sound year-end for your business before moving into 2024? As the calendar year draws to a close, businesses should start preparing for the upcoming tax season. A lot seems to have changed in the past 12 months economically, especially the burden of inflation going down. 

    But, how has all of this affected your business?

    Taking proactive steps now can not only help to save money in the long run but can also reduce stress in the future. To assist businesses in preparing for the new year, here is a financial checklist of the most important steps to take before entering 2024.

    Tick Off These 5 Things on Your Year-End Financial Checklist before Entering 2024

    Here are 5 important points in your financial checklist to look into before ending the year:

    Partner Agreements: When was the Last Time You Reviewed Them

    Partnerships are the backbone of many successful businesses. However, as circumstances change, so should your partnership agreements. If you have a partnership agreement, it is a good idea to review it every year to see if there are any changes to the laws or taxes that need to be taken into account.

    You should also review it every time one partner leaves or a new one joins the business. Take the time to review and update the agreements, ensuring they reflect the current state of your business and the responsibilities and expectations of each partner.

    Key Man Insurance Policy: Is it Up-To-Date

    Key man insurance is vital to safeguard your company from the financial repercussions in case of the loss of a key employee. If it has been some time since you last reviewed your key man insurance coverage, now is the appropriate time to review it.

    Ensure that the coverage amount remains reasonable and the key individuals specified in the policy are accurately reflected. For instance, review the following information: The number of insured employees, the amount of coverage each employee is entitled to, and whether the employee has consented to the policy.

    Retirement Plans: Have You Reviewed Them Lately

    When it comes to employee benefits, retirement plans are one of the most important things you can do to attract and retain top talent. Take a look at your 401(k), 403(b), and other retirement plans to see if they are competitive and meet your employees’ needs.

    Additionally, review the life insurance coverage, to ensure that they are competitive, meet the requirements of your employees, and are cost-effective. Remember to review other benefits that raise employee morale like disability insurance, paid time off, employee recognition and rewards, etc.

    Business Loans and Credits: Are Your Repayments On Track

    With interest rates and the economy going up and down, it is a good idea to take a look at your business loans and credit. See what the terms are, what the interest rate is, and what the financial impact is of these loans.

    In addition, look for ways to re-finance or change terms to better fit your business objectives. Consider alternative options of financing, including lines of credit and equipment financing, as well as merchant cash advances, to better match your business requirements and cash flow cycles.

    Cost of Services: Are They Optimized

    Conduct a thorough analysis of your business expenditure. This may include office lease renewal costs, telephone costs, credit card costs, and other services that are essential for running your business.

    You can identify areas of expenditure that can be reduced without compromising on quality or productivity. Consult with vendors and look for alternative vendors to optimize your expenditure.

    Final Words

    As the end of the year approaches, it is essential to take the necessary steps to protect your business from financial uncertainty and to prepare for a more organized and successful future. 

    The end of the year is not just a time to reflect. It is also a time to prepare for the future. Do not wait until it is too late

    Moreover, for better planning and strategy for the upcoming year, you should consult a financial advisor. In case you are a company in search of HR, employee benefits, and compensation services, contact us. You can also check out our blog section to find more related articles.

    5 Best Ways to Staff HR Support within a Company

     

    Staffing human resource support team within your company involves a lot of planning. It is essential to hire the right persons for a specific job role since these employees will understand organizational needs and contribute massively to the growth and development of companies.

    Following is a step-by-step guide to help you staff HR support:

    Step 1: Analyse Years of Experience

    The first step is to analyse the number of years of HR experience and the level of responsibility handled during this period. This will help in understanding which person to choose.

    • Understand a person’s experience in working with startups or organizations of similar industry or size.
    • Check education level and HR-related certifications.
    • Check if that recruit knows employment laws and other compliance issues.
    • Understand if they can access, prioritize, and handle multiple projects, conduct in-depth research and adapt quickly to the changing needs.
    • Analyse the communication skills in terms of interaction with senior level and trainee level.

    Step 2: Create Job Descriptions

    It is essential to determine the number of HR staff required depending on the company size. Accordingly, create detailed job descriptions and portfolios for each of these positions. Here is what you can do:

    • Consider the HR-to-employee ratio and plan recruitment of staff.
    • Frame responsibilities, qualifications, and reporting structures.
    • Undergo a thorough recruitment procedure to hire HR staff who have the required experience and skills.
    • Job descriptions help to determine salary levels, analyse performance reviews, clarify missions, and establish titles and pay grades acting as an effective tool for recruiting.

    Step 3: Implement Advanced HR Tools and Technologies

    To hire the right prospect, share these job descriptions with social media, recruitment agencies and employee referral platforms. You can use advanced HR tools and techniques for the hiring process.

    • Leverage online recruiting tools to ensure the best onboarding experience.
    • There are several employee engagement applications to avail to get hold of the right staff.
    • Post onboarding equip the HR team with applicant tracking systems, payroll software and other tools to streamline HR processes and enhance efficiency. 

    Step 4: Develop a Competitive Pay Structure

    Crafting a fair and competitive pay structure is one of the major aspects of retaining and attracting HR staff for the organization. To develop a proper pay structure, it is important to gather background information and then implement it accordingly. Building a market-based pay structure includes:

    • Conducting in-depth market analysis to understand the changing market scenario.
    • Calculating the cost of the pay structures and accordingly implementing the new pay structures.

    Step 5: Implement Benefit Plans

    Every organization must determine certain benefit plans that are mandatory for the employees. Implement vacations, paid leaves, sick leaves, and health benefits insurance, pension and retirement plans and other such benefits.

    • Mandatory benefits include workers’ compensation insurance and unemployment insurance under state laws. 
    • Some regions mandate paid disability insurance and/or paid sick leave for employees. Organizations must check their states’ laws to get more information on required benefits.
    • While small companies can begin by offering few benefits, others can offer a comprehensive benefit package to help attract and retain HR recruits.

    For companies you are not ready to invest in HR staffing internally can go for Professional Employer Organization or PEO as an effective alternative. PEOs come with a comprehensive solution by outsourcing HR functions. A PEO takes care of compliance and HR responsibilities for the organization including payroll, compliance, benefits administration, employee relations and more, allowing businesses to focus more on internal functions. With these aspects, a PEO empowers businesses to grow at scale.

    These steps help in tailoring an effective HR staffing plan adhering to the organization’s unique perspectives and requirements. Following these above-mentioned steps will help in the proper HR staffing process. However, you can also contact us for these services.

    Do you know introducing artificial intelligence in human resources and payroll management can help you run a seamless business operation? With the implementation of AI, HR services have been automated and efficient. However, AI may not be able to replace the human-centric aspects of HR management, but the possibilities and advancements it can bring will help in better management.

    Top 6 Differences between the Role of Human Experiences and AI in HR and Payroll Management

    Artificial intelligence has brought several significant changes in managing human resources, but the role of human experiences is still essential. 

    Here are 6 differences between the value of AI and human experiences for better interpretation of the facts:

    Decision-Making 

    AI helps in processing huge data without much turnaround time and accelerates the decision-making process. It helps analyze candidates’ resumes, predicts the turnover of an employee, and assesses their skills seamlessly. Thus, AI comes forward as a crucial tool that facilitates workforce planning and recruitment. 

    However, human judgment is time-consuming, but it excels in evaluating the complex interpersonal dynamics of an employee, soft skills, cultural fit, etc. HR professionals can understand every employee’s needs and resolve any issues empathetically.

    Personalization

    With artificial intelligence, you can personalize employee experiences through customized training programs, career development opportunities, etc. This helps in increasing employee engagement and leads to excellent employee retention.

    However, when it comes to sensitive issues like workplace conflicts, mental health, career counseling, etc., a human touch is needed. AI cannot understand the compassion and mental stress of an individual.

    Efficiency

    With artificial intelligence, HR processes get streamlined and easy as repetitive tasks like data management, payroll, etc., get automated. This automation releases the administrative burden, offering enough time for strategic initiatives. 

    On the other hand, AI cannot build up employee relationships or address the concerns of an individual. Thus, HR professionals play a crucial role in building trust and a positive work environment.

    Diversity and Inclusion

    AI can put an end to the biased recruitment and promotion process and make the decision based on employees’ skills. However, this is only possible when the database is managed efficiently. On the other hand, human resources professionals can understand biases and issues properly and address them while hiring or promoting an employee. 

    Adaptability

    AI plays an essential role in accomplishing large-scale HR responsibilities and managing a huge workforce efficiently. However, when it comes to unforeseen situations, AI cannot adapt to it. Here comes the need for an HR professional, who can overcome complex situations with smart and creative thinking. 

    Cost Efficiency 

    AI improves resource allocation and automates HR tasks, thereby reducing operational costs. However, employee satisfaction, strategic planning, talent development, etc., need a human understanding. Thus, complete AI implementation in HR and payroll management cannot yield better results. Instead, companies need to balance both the human experience and AI for a successful and efficient management system.

    Final Words

    The introduction of AI in HR and payroll management has undoubtedly increased compliance, efficiency, data analysis capabilities, and more. However, the role of empathetic decision-making, emotional intelligence, etc., is still undeniable for a healthy work culture. The perfect collaboration of human experiences and AI can foster a positive work environment and enhanced employee experience.

    8 Ways to Offer More Services to Your Clients

    Here are some tips on how to provide more services to your customers:

    Understand Your Clients: 

    Before you add new services, you need to know what your clients want. You can do this by getting feedback from your clients. This will help you understand their needs and what you’re missing. Once you know what they want, you can tailor your services to meet their needs.

    Look at Your Competitors: 

    Looking at what your competitors are doing can give you ideas. It can show you what you’re not doing and new market opportunities. It can also help you see how you can stand out from your competitors. This can further create unique services or improve your existing ones.

    Do Market Research: 

    Doing market research can help you understand industry trends. It can also show you the size of your target market and new opportunities. This can help you decide if a new service will be profitable and in demand.

    Make a Plan: 

    Before you add new services, you need to have a plan. This should include your goals, pricing, target market, risks, challenges, and marketing strategies. It can help you figure out your budget, resources, and timeline.

    Train Your Team: 

    If you’re adding new services, your team needs to know how to provide them. You can train your existing team or hire new people. You can also work with freelancers or partners. But, investing in your team’s training can help ensure you provide top-quality services.

    Talk to Your Customers: 

    When you add a new service, let your customers know. You can do this through social media, email newsletters, or your website. Tell them about the benefits and features of your new service. Ask for their feedback to see if you need to make any changes.

    Maintain Quality and Consistency: 

    When you add new services, make sure they’re as good as your existing ones. Your clients have certain expectations based on your current services. Make sure your new services meet these expectations.

    Evaluate Regularly: 

    Keep track of how you’re doing. Get feedback, look at your financial growth, and track performance indicators. This can help you see how your expansion is going and if you need to make any changes.

    10 Effective Ways to Promote Mental Wellness in the Workplace

    Did you know that the mental and physical health of employees directly affects their productivity at work? So, when a company promotes mental health in the workplace it can increase the annual production. It is because employees have a much more positive outlook on life and are sincerely engaged in their responsibilities. 

    But how to maintain a better mental health space?

    The below write-up offers 10 different ways you can initiate for employees in your office space to improve their well-being. 

    [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

    How to Enhance Mental Wellness in the Workplace?

    Below are some ideas that will help in creating a healthy work culture and help employees towards a positive approach in life.

    Encouraging a Work-life Balance Culture

    Earlier there was a notion that longer working hours means better chances of getting promoted. However, this theory is not true as it has a harsh impact on work-life balance. Today, it is about how smart one works. You must encourage and approve employees for off days for personal reasons or vacations. This will make them maintain their energy levels and stay consistently productive at work.

    Host Stress-Reduction Workshop

    Stress triggers health challenges and leads to further anxiety. Thus, companies must consider hosting stress-reducing and mental health awareness workshops. This will immensely help employees in handling their stress.

    Focus on Setting Realistic Goals

    It is essential to set goals to define the achievements and success of work life. However, not all employees can handle the stress to accomplish hard targets. Employees must set targets that employees can handle without stretching their working hours. A sound mind helps produce quality work, benefiting both the employee and employer.

    Promote Health Trainings

    Employers can introduce health training programs in the office to encourage employees. However, there are many instances where employees may lack interest in practicing health sessions. So, companies can start incentivized health training to promote employee health.

    Create a Positive Work Environment

    There is enough room for positivity when it comes to mental peace. So, employers can deliver positive speeches to help employees handle anxiousness. They can ask employees to write down positive notes and decorate the workspace with those thoughts.

    Maintain a Peaceful Work Environment 

    Employers can also create a ‘quiet room’ in the workplace, if possible, where employees can relax for a while. They can also allow the employees to keep their family or loved ones’ photos on the work desk. Or decorate the work desk with items that generate calmness and peace of mind. It will help reduce stress and enhance mental peace.

    Encourage Open Communication

    Encourage open communication among employees and management. Let employees know that it is okay to talk about their mental health issues and that they will receive support and understanding from the management and their colleagues.

    Promote Self-care

    Employers should encourage their employees to schedule self-care sessions at regular intervals. This prioritizes their health and well-being and will enable them to manage their stress and anxiety. They might even urge their staff to discuss their best practices to generate fresh ideas for methods and strategies.

    Provide Healthy Snacks and Meals

    Diet can also have a significant impact on an individual’s mental health. Providing healthy snacks and meals can help improve mental wellness in the workplace. Employers can offer healthy food options in the cafeteria or arrange for healthy snacks in the breakroom. This can help employees maintain a balanced diet, reducing stress and improving mental health.

    Provide Flexibility

    Flexible work arrangements can help employees balance their work and personal lives, reducing stress levels and improving mental health. Employers can offer flexible schedules, remote work options, and other accommodations that promote work-life balance.

    Final Word

    Employees with less mental stress and a sound mind can generate timely and quality work compared to the ones with poor mental states. Thus, every employee should take the necessary initiative to keep employees stress-free and mentally sound. Employers looking forward to expert assistance in human resource management can contact us.

    How to Save Money With a PEO: Find 7 Ways They Reduce Company Cost

    Want to save the cost incurred behind your in-house HR team and still be able to recruit quality candidates? This is possible by taking the help of a PEO or Professional Employer Organization.

    PEOs perform similar human resource management activities as the dedicated department of a company but at a lower cost. These include employee payrolls, benefits, compensations, health benefits, and much more. So, form a co-employment agreement with a PEO to save money. Scroll below to gain detailed knowledge. 

    How Will a PEO Help a Company Save Money?

    Take a look at 7 crucial ways by which a company can maximize profits and cut down on high costs.

    Reduce Chances of Incurring Possible Expenses

    Partnering with a PEO for human resource work will allow you to shift your attention to more complicated tasks of the company. As a result, you will be able to focus on more glaring issues of the company. So, you will save avoidable costs and prevent possible company losses.

    Cost Cutting on Employee’s Health Insurance  

    The PEOs get health insurance for a group of different businesses together. Hence, the cost they pay is much lower, as compared to providing health insurance to a group of employees by one employer. When you partner with a PEO, the cost your company may incur will be lesser in comparison to buying health insurance individually. 

    Savings on Internal HR Department

    PEOs also facilitate extending all the roles and responsibilities of an entire HR department to the organization. Shifting the basic HR responsibilities related to onboarding and payroll processing to a PEO will remove the requirement for an in-house HR department. 

    This calls for high savings in your company’s budget expenses. PEO has years of experience in HR services, so you can be assured of quality recruitment too. 

    Lowering Employee Turnover Rate

    PEOs provide many employee benefits as it partners with different organizations to avail such offers. As an employer, you will be more able to grant your employees greater access to new perks and facilities at a lower cost. Hence, you save more on lower employee turnover rates. 

    Avoiding Expensive Budget Cuts – Worker’s Compensations

    Workers’ compensation needs a special mention as the budget cut on these can be pricey. PEOs have many years of expertise in finances and lawsuits, thus, come as a handy tool to ensure no cost-cutting on such mishaps. 

    Enhancing the Culture of Your Company 

    The PEOs will help provide a more enriching work culture for your employees, by providing the tools and resources your company may need. It is also beneficial for your company as it doesn’t need to invest in it and can still have an enriching job environment, thus leading to new employee engagement. 

    Reduce Excess Expenses on Managing Compliances

    Compliances are very common and can easily incur higher costs for your company. Hence, a dedicated PEO department that looks over every minute detail regarding minor employee issues will help lessen these problems and save up on any probable expenses. These issues relate to employee salary deduction, overtime compensation, etc.

    The PEOs are responsible for taking care of employees of multiple organizations. Thereby, it serves as a place for companies to upgrade their business and workplace environment. PEO helps in enhancing the quality of the company’s culture starting from the on-boarding process to working on the office environment, retention, and higher recruitment.

Do you know underpaying or illegal deduction is a violation of the Wage law?

    Employers often commit wage and hour violations knowingly or unknowingly. However, this can drag them into legal hazards if reported with proof. As a reputed business organization, you should abide by the Labor Wage regulations to maintain a healthy and protected work environment. Read this blog to know about a few common wage and hour violations you must watch out for![/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”]

    Top 5 Wage and Hour Violations That You Must Look Out For

    As a responsible employer, you should take care of your employee’s wages and benefits. So, here are the top 5 things you must stop doing to maintain the Labor Wage regulations:

    Illegal Payroll Deductions

    Some employers often deduct wages in multiple illegal ways. In most cases, employers deduct money to compensate for damages that are not associated with employees. These may include shortages in the cash register, property damages at the workplace, the value of tools, etc. Moreover, some also deduct the employment uniform’s price from their employee’s wages. 

    Here, employers must set up laws to discuss the deduction parameters with their employees before deducting their wages. For instance, an employee has worked overtime and is eligible for an overtime bonus. In that case, if you want to deduct any part of his wage, you may have to ask for permission.

    Misclassification of Employees

    As per the law, employees of the company will receive added benefits, overtime payment, and much more. However, in recent years the number of independent contractors in a business organization has increased. Generally, these contractors do not receive equal facilities as the employees of the company. 

    Some employers misclassify their employees as independent contractors to avoid paying benefits. If your company is following any such practices refrain from that as it is considered a violation of the law.

    Not Paying Minimum Wages

    As per the Federal Government, the minimum hourly wage in America is around $7.25. However, some states consider paying a higher rate showing compliance to their employees. On the other hand, some employers violate this law and refrain from paying minimum wages to their employees. This can be seen prevalently in the case of tipped employees. 

    As per the Labor Standards Act, if a worker earns a tip above $30 each month, his minimum hourly cash wage will be $2.13. If any such practices are being followed in your company, stop them immediately. Generally, no employer can deduct more than $5.12 from the wage of a tipped employee. 

    Underpaying the Employees

    Another way of wage violation is not paying the workers per their work. In such cases, employees are working more and earning less. Some employers do not pay the employees for the extra work they do even after their shift ends. 

    Other instances include not paying the employees for the prep work they are doing before their shift starts. Some employers also avoid paying their employees for side work and travel for work purposes. However, these are strict violations of the law and a responsible employer should avoid such practices to maintain his company’s reputation. 

    Not Paying Reporting Pay

    Employees reporting to the office during their shift are eligible for reporting pay irrespective of whether they worked for the day or not. However, some state laws do not include this. This is applicable in case of work interruption due to Acts of God, Government instructions for closure, or an employer closing the shift due to insufficient work. However, if the employee is leaving early due to personal reasons, employers may not compensate him with reporting pay.
