Q. After employee is terminated, how long does employer have to send final paycheck to employee?

October 15, 2024

A: In North Carolina, the employer must provide the final paycheck on or before the next regular payday.

You will need to provide more information about the employee who did not show up for work one day.

Is this a salaried employee who worked remotely or worked a partial day?

Is this an employee who worked remotely and simply did not show up to work in the office?

Why are you concerned that not paying the employee would be considered retaliation?

Q. Can my boss call a mandatory employee meeting, have everyone clock in then make them shave that hour off another day?

September 22, 2024

A: Your employer can adjust your schedule unless you have a contract stating otherwise. It appears your employer is paying you for all hours worked. Therefore, your employer's conduct is lawful.

Q. Salary expert 35k no admin work, no employees. does not receive overtime. Works building displays

September 20, 2024

A: A position must meet certain requirements to qualify as exempt from overtime. A salary test is the first requirement. Currently, a job must pay a minimum salary of at least $43,888 per year to qualify for an exemption from overtime. This amount will increase to $58,656 on January 1, 2025.

If the salary test is met, the next requirement is the duties test. The employee's duties must be analyzed to determine if the position qualifies for an exemption.

Overtime exemptions primarily apply to white-collar jobs. Most blue-collar jobs do not qualify for an exemption. You should talk to an attorney if you have concerns that your specific job does not qualify for an exemption.
