Marco Lucido, Workplace Law: Refresher on exemption thresholds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Question: I’m going to hire a new employee soon. I want this person to be exempt from the normal overtime and meal and rest period rules. Can I make this person exempt by paying them a higher salary? Answer: Maybe. A high salary alone does not automatically make an employee “exempt” for purposes of overtime, minimum wage and meal and rest periods. In California, an employee needs to satisfy both a salary test and a duties test to be classified as an “exempt” employee. If an employee cannot satis

Question: I run a small restaurant. Over the past month, one of my staff member’s ex boyfriends has shown up several times to yell at and threaten my staff member.

California law does not allow an employer to simply hand the paycheck to the person who calls first, even when that person is a close family member. The death of an employee is a difficult event for coworkers and management alike. In addit
Marco Lucido, Workplace Law: Reminders for vacation policies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Question: I started a new business and have many questions about vacation for employees. Is this required? Can I implement a “use it or lose it” policy? Can I control and limit the employees’ vacation and policy structure? Can I advance vacation hours to employees? Can employees share vacation?

However, if an employer chooses to voluntarily offer these benefits, the employer must follow strict rules on how a v
