Dear Client,
Employers that use
bonus plans recently
won an important
victory when the
state Supreme Court
ruled that a
profit-based bonus
incentive plan that
deducts for workers'
compensation costs,
cash and merchandise
shortages, and other
losses is legal.
Here is an
explanation and how
the courts ruling
impacts your
compensation plans.

Supreme Court Ruling on
Compensation Plans |
|
| |
|
The court has now eliminated
the uncertainty concerning
bonus plans. Retailers can
deduct their workers' comp
losses and cash shortages
from bonuses, says the
California Supreme Court.

Employee Payroll
Deductions |
|
| |
|
We are often asked what you
can and can't deduct from an
employee's paycheck. Our
typical answer is that wages
are sacred-deduct nothing
unless you are sure that
you're allowed. Here are
some things that you should
not deduct.

Which Benefits Are You
Required to Offer? |
|

|
With the holidays coming
many employers inquire
exactly which benefits they
must provide, and what kind
of holiday pay they must
provide. So what do you have
to do? Here is a listing of
the benefits you have to and
do not have to provide your
employees.

Can We Make An Employee
Punch A Time Clock? |
|
| |
|
Question: Can we make
our employees punch a time
clock or track their hours?
We tried the time clock
approach but they resented
it. Our managers said we're
treating them like hourly
workers. Also, can we make
them work a minimum of eight
hours a day? Can we make
them work more than eight
hours a day? Can we?
