A “First of its Kind” PFML Plan launches in New Hampshire
Beginning in December 2022, employers can start enrolling in New Hampshire's new voluntary Paid Family and Medical Leave plan for employers and employees of all types of businesses.
Imagine this: A key player has left your company without having found his or her permanent replacement. What do you do? A common solution is to seek an interim employee, which could be any of your current employees, exempt or non.
Taking on interim roles or positions generally includes taking on additional responsibilities. Because of this, many employers have enacted guidelines regarding compensation for these employees. An increase in salary is not required, but typically encouraged. Other guidelines should exist no matter what - and are based on whether the employee in the interim role is already an exempt or nonexempt employee.
Several methods can be used to compensate an exempt employee taking on an interim position, including:
Nonexempt employees are paid by the hour - whether they are salaried or not. If a nonexempt employee accepts an interim role, work with the human resources or compensation department to determine the appropriate modification to that employee’s pay.
Once the interim role ends or a permanent replacement is found, your employee’s salary returns to his or her original amount plus any bonuses or increases warranted during their time as an interim employee.
