HR, Unfiltered

Are you overpaying—or underpaying—your on-call employees? 🛑 The Department of Labor (DOL) has specific rules for non-exempt employees, but the language can be tricky. In this video, we break down the crucial difference between:

✅ Engaged to Wait: When the employee has no control over their time and MUST be paid.

✅ Waiting to be Engaged: When the employee has freedom and flexibility—and pay isn't always required. Knowing these definitions can save your business from costly compliance errors! Remember: You can always do more than the law requires, but never less.
