Making this change on Dec 1-—instead of Jan 1 of 2017 is another blow to employers.
This means changes to current payroll software-—and more time clocks in places where none have existed before.
Wonder how many time clocks are on the shelves ready to be sold to these employers???Many companies won’t accept hand written time cards——which also are somewhat short in supply.
Hear the enviros now——there go more trees for time cards~!!!!!
I was a payroll supervisor in the 79’s for a weekly payroll of about 750 people in 7 states. The time cards we got-—almost all were hourly employees-—were not all the same. Some were hours & minutes-—some were 10ths of an hour-—some were other combinations. Had to be sharp as you were processing those time cards.
What are they going to do with people in the medical industry? Most nurses are exempt from overtime I think.
Nobody uses time clocks anymore.
In retail people clock in and out on the POS system.
Other businesses use tablets and handheld devices.

70’s sorry
BTW- There might be a train derailment-—or an airplane crash-—and medical & police have to work long hours to help those involved.
Do they get to walk off at the end of 8 hours???
Being an RN, I can tell you we aren’t exempt from overtime if we are payed hourly. Management such as directors are salaried and they are exempt. In some places such as federal or state institutions, bedside RN’s may be salaried and thus are normally exempt unless they are agreeing to work extra to fill extra shifts...ect. Then other rules kick in. The issues RN’s often face are being able to get meals and proper breaks and many of us work through them at a dead run for the 12 hours we are on shift.
