Getting Paid After Hurricane Sandy
Information about getting back to work or getting paid until you can.
Hurricane Sandy slammed into the northeast destroying lives, homes and jobs. Below is information about getting back to work or getting paid while trying to put life back together again: Will you still get paid if you can’t get to work or your office or business is still closed? Employers are covered by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which defines whether an employee is entitled to be paid when a business is closed. If you fall under the status of “exempt”, as many salaried workers are, you are entitled to be paid. If you are non-exempt, then you are not—although you should still receive a paycheck for hours that were worked prior to the arrival of Sandy. http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/fairpay/fs17g_salary.htm http…
