Hurricane Season Brings Unique Wage and Hour Issues

As hurricane season is fast approaching, we thought it an appropriate time to offer some thoughts and tips on the wage and hour issues that should be addressed in your company's policies and procedures.  The attached reference tool contains answers to common questions such as:

  • Can we dock the salaries of exempt employees who do not come to work during a hurricane or timely return to work afterwards?
  • What rules must we follow regarding paying employees who are absent because of weather?
  • What do we do if we can't find employees to give them their paychecks?

Although the attached brochure is aimed at Texas employers, if you have operations anywhere along the Gulf Coast, you may find it helpful.
