Pay Procedures Policy:
It is the policy of the Company to pay employees by check or direct deposit on a
regular basis and in a manner so that the amount, method, and timing of wage
payments comply with any applicable laws or regulations.
Comment:
(1) Employees normally will be paid on the fifteenth day and the last day of the
month. If the regular payday occurs on a Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday,
employees will be paid on the last working day before the regular payday.
(2) Employees on each payday will receive, in addition to their check or deposit
advice, a statement showing gross pay, deductions, and net pay. Local, state,
federal, and Social Security taxes will be deducted automatically. No other
deductions will be made unless required or allowed by law, contract, or employee
obligation. Employees may elect to have additional voluntary deductions taken
from their pay only if they authorize the deductions in writing.
(3) Employees who discover a mistake in their pay check, lose their pay check,
or have it stolen should notify the Personnel Department immediately. In the
case of a mistake, the error will be remedied promptly. In the case of loss or
theft, the Personnel Department will attempt to stop payment on the check and
reissue a new one to the employee. However, the employee is solely responsible
for the monetary loss, and the Company will not be responsible for the loss or
theft of a check if it cannot stop payment on the check.
(4) Employees who are eligible for vacation may receive an advance on their
vacation pay as long as an approved request for it is submitted to the Personnel
Department at least one pay period before the beginning of the vacation. Under
normal circumstances, no other advances or loans for employees will be made
without the prior approval of the Personnel Director.
(5) Nonexempt employees (those not exempt from the provisions of the Fair Labor
Standards Act) will be paid overtime compensation at the rate of one and
one-half times their regular hourly rate for work in excess of forty hours
during their normal workweek.
(6) Nonexempt employees will receive premium pay at one and one-half their
regular rate for work on Saturday and Sunday, regardless of the number of hours
worked in the workweek, unless the normal workweek includes regular Saturday and
Sunday work.
(7) Nonexempt employees will receive a shift differential calculated as follows:
(a) If the shift begins after noon and ends at 11:00 p.m. or earlier, 10 percent
of regular pay; or
(b) If the shift begins after 3:00 p.m. and ends after 11:00 p.m., 15 percent of
regular pay.
(8) Employees should discuss any questions or concerns regarding their rate of
pay and other compensation issues with their department head or with the
Personnel Department.
