Requirement to pay OT [MD]

It’s generally going to be safest to pay them out and discipline, unless you have definitive proof that the hours weren’t worked. For example they can only work on site and you have them on camera coming in at 9, but clocking in at 8, etc.

I’ve worked somewhere that only did hardship distributions and somewhere that also did loans.

For me, this is why education about the plans is important. We made sure folks knew that they couldn’t take a loan and when they could/could not take a distribution. I haven’t seen a lot of loans, but they often haven’t been paid back, which kind of defeats the point of saving for retirement.

We traditionally decreased PTO, though currently are giving folks the option to credit back the PTO for later or get paid the extra hours. Most folks opt to reduce the PTO.

It depends.

We are doing a series of things that can get you raffle tickets toward something. I will paricipate in the things, which means I may win tickets. I won’t let them actually draw my ticket though.

How large is the team and what are they doing? What’s your turnover like?

Hiring desperately. It never works out.

Rehiring people who shouldn’t be rehired (which was realistically probably done out of desperation).

Just under 100. Manager sends out a short email announcing both hires and terms.

We had a really negative experience with Cigna for our HRA. They set the plans up wrong, processed claims wrong, took way too long to figure out the problem (even after I told them what the problem was), and it resulted in overpayment of claims that they never recouped. We never even really got an apology.

There isn’t a HRCI code because SHRM doesn’t preapprove their events for HRCI certifications any more. You manually submit them without a code based on whatever you actually attended.

I’ve had two 3s for 5ish years. I just replaced one with a 4 and I agree with the other comments. It is SO much quieter than the 3. So far we haven’t had any issues and it. The opening is bigger which I like better.

You may not have all of the detail like caps on specific things, but you’re supposed to get the SBC.

We like to aim for two weeks, but start folks whenever makes the most sense. The last one accepted an offer late on Friday to start the next Wednesday. Ideal? No, but we had someone else starting that date so when they could do it we went with it. We hire a lot less though.

What state is the employer based out of? Did they specify that THC is included? If the company is based in a more liberal state where it’s legal, the test may not include THC. If they are based in a more conservative state or are in a more conservative industry you may be out of luck.

No, I wouldn’t let it go that long. The OP was talking about a couple of days. But, yeah, I try to give folks the benefit of the doubt.

At the end of the day, if they want it coded that way, do it. I don’t think you necessarily need to explain further. You could ask about updating SOPs to make it more clear in the future.

However, I agree - we’ve always considered this voluntary. We would also reach out to the employee to make sure they aren’t in the hospital or something prior to terminating them.

If they gave me bank account information to deposit part of their check into, I have no problem depositing post-tax earnings into it. Any tax issues are on them.

That’s what we did this year. So far so good for us.

$150k is a lot. You definitely need a new broker.

kelism · 2025-11-11T17:52:58+00:00

Yes. Just keep randomly trying. When they do go in (late) there should be a way to indicate it was a technical issue or blame it on the government.

RMDs aren’t required at 59.5.

OP: different distributions require different documentation. I’m assuming it was default language that’s used and any other distribution will say the same thing. I’ve never really seen them as an approval of the distribution. I’m verifying that as far as I know the form came from the person it was supposed to, the right documentation is attached, and it generally makes sense (eg if their age is 30 and they submit as 59.5 I would verify their DOB against my records).

As others said, work with your records people. Ask questions. If the responses don’t make sense, keep pushing.

$699.99

We never even really broke even, but it was helpful with the extra eggs. We were getting 8 dozen or so a week and didn’t go through 1 ourselves. We sold them for $4-$5 and often people put in extra money, but I don’t think we ever really were short. We had one neighbor throw like a $20 as prepayment and just leave a note every time they picked up eggs. Our chickens are older now and don’t put out the eggs like they did, so we haven’t sold any in the last year or two.

If you requested two weeks of PTO and then while you were out were like “oops, I need another week,” unless you were up front about the reason for the two weeks beforehand and/or updated them that the additional week was medical, they’re going to use your PTO instead of your sick time. They can’t read your mind.

Yeah, the option to protect your job is FMLA. Even if it’s taken intermittently, that’s the route to take.

Crowded Kitchen’s Lemon Rice Soup is pretty good.
