Rehire Exempt Employees Midweek

[Maryann Gusst, SHRM-SCP]

Good afternoon! We are getting prepared to rehire exempt employees who were laid off, and really only want to bring them back when we are ready and not a day sooner. Checked with our attorneys and confirmed that you do not have to pay full weekly salary to an exempt rehire if you hire them back mid-week.

Under CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THE EMPLOYER MAY MAKE DEDUCTIONS it states, “…an employer is not required to pay the full salary in the initial or terminal week of employment…”

Have a great weekend everyone!
