re: How do you feel about this employee pay plan during a shutdown?

Yeah, that's not legal unless they are giving all employees a loan in which will be paid back with OT pay. With that though, they wouldn't take payroll taxes out of anyone's check's during that period of time.

You just make all employees exempt. Seems simple to me
It isn’t that simple
Since he mentioned “production”, I’m assuming all of these employees wouldn’t necessarily qualify for exempt positions.

How is that illegal?
These are crazy times. I doubt seriously there would be any issues.
They would be paid for not working at all. I’m sure it could be worked out as a payroll advance.
People commenting using current law are fooling themselves. No one will go after an employer who kept people working.

Probably exempt

All it takes is one employee to file a complaint.

You are severely underestimating the lawyers and people of this country.

The flip side is it sounds odd to pay people for not working. I am guessing the company is honestly trying to not lay off all their employees and help them through the tough times but get squared up on the back end.
I hope the owners remember that no good deed goes unpunished and they have a plan.

I know that I am but he didn't indicate whether they are or not.
He made it sound like a factory but "production" could be anything I guess.

Overtime laws are fairly detailed and very strict. If the individual normally gets overtime just because but are exempt, they would be fine. If they are not overtime exempt, it won’t matter what you paid them before or why.

Dont think that's legal dawg
If they are salaried employees, it’s fine.
Honestly, the workers should be grateful.

I've honestly never heard of overtime salary. Is that a thing?

This is for the hourly employees. I imagine it will be "paid back" at some type of time and a half rate. In other words, if they are paid for 15 days of no work now, they'll have to work 10 Saturdays to pay it back.

You think not one person will take the checks then complain the first Saturday? I suppose maybe but it’s risky from the employers end.

However, they also have stated that once production begins, they will be forced to work OT on Saturdays to make up lost production and that they will NOT BE PAID for this OT work.
Not sure of the full details, but I imagine that there is some setup for each shutdown day's pay they'll have to work about 1 OT Saturday.
Yeah that isn't going to happen. Highly illegal and the feds will come down on them with a quickness. I sure they wouldn't want to risk their free money they are about to receive by doing this stupid shite.

You hourly folks are hilarious.

THIS! Some baws wife is gonna get his check after he puts in 50hr and it’s only for 40hrs pay and she’s gonna shite the bed and raise some hell. No good deed goes unpunished!

Hope they’re on salary. Wish my salary paid overtime.
Posted on 3/24/20 at 10:03 pm to East Coast Band
If salaried it doesn’t matter, but if hourly OT pay will be cheaper than legal consequences.
