Abreu Company allows employees the option of carrying over unused vacation days or "cashing" them out. If they cash out, does the employer count the time or earnings when calculating overtime for these nonexempt employees?
Dave’s Scooters is a small manufacturer of specialty scooters. The company employs 14 production workers and four administrative persons. The following procedures are used to process the company’s weekly payroll:a. Whenever an employee receives a pay raise, the supervisor must fill out a wage adjustment form, which is signed by the company president. This form is used to change the employee’s wage rate in the payroll system.b. All employees are required to record their hours worked by clocking in and out on a time clock. Employees must clock out for lunch break. Due to congestion around the time clock area at lunch time, management has not objected to having one employee clock in and out for an entire department.c. Whenever a salaried employee is terminated, Personnel authorizes Payroll to remove the employee from the payroll system. However, this procedure is not required when an hourly worker is fired. Hourly employees only receive a paycheck if their time cards show hours worked.…

For the past 15 years, the CPA firm has given employees a year-end bonus equal to two weeks’ salary. On November 30, the firm’s management team announced that there would be no annual bonus this year. Because of the firm’s long history of giving a year-end bonus, Betty and her co-workers had come to expect the bonus and felt that the firm had breached an implicit agreement by discontinuing the bonus. As a result, Betty decided that she would make up for the lost bonus by working an extra six hours of overtime per week for the rest of the year. The firm's policy is to pay overtime at 150% of straight time. Betty’s supervisor was surprised to see overtime being reported because there are generally very few additional or unusual client service demands at the end of the calendar year. However, the overtime was not questioned, because employees are on the “honor system” in reporting their work hours. 1. Is the firm acting in an…arrow_forward
