Re: Mold Abandonment?
If the objective is to just get rid of the tools, a simple solution for this situation (to avoid digging through documents and complying with notice requirements before deeming a tool abandoned) is to require the company to indemnify you and hold you harmless for any claims that may arise from your ...

Re: Who pays employees while off for COVID if less than 50 employees
The "small business exemption" for employers with 50 or less employees is not yet a law. The Dept of Labor is supposed to provide insight on that, but has not done so. So, you need to comply with the (Family First Act) mandate that takes effect April 2. As far as benefits go, it depends on your exis...

Re: Obsolete Tool Disposition
Hello James: as Mike indicates, it is state specific. Most states require sending notice to last known place of business and taking out an ad in the local newspaper there (if no response to the letter you sent). Then, if no response after 30 days (sometimes 60 in certain states), you can dispose of ...

With shutdown, they are ramping back up and rumor is the process/forms for seeking a refund will be rele...

Re: 2019 Tariffs
Hello Travis: that is the correct HTS code. A lot of mold builders from China and actually OEM customers are misclassifying the codes to try to avoid the tariff. Not a good idea since the feds are catching on and making sure the correct code is applied, leaving molders like you stuck holding the bag...
Re: Tariff's
Hello Joy: they are absolutely wrong. HTS code 8480.71.80 was specifically covered under the August 7 expanded list of tariffed items. That list went into effect on August 23. Wish I had better news. Happy to talk offline on strategies to reduce impact of tariff.

Re: Salaried Time Off
My answers below: (1A) If a salaried employee has exhausted their PTO and takes a full day off, can the employer deduct 8 hours of pay for that pay period? Employers are permitted to deduct the equivalent of a full day's pay when the salaried employee does not perform work and is absent for personal...

Re: Salaried Time Off
There are a few answers depending on what the issue is exactly. Are we looking to (1) reduce salary for the time off or (2) simply require the employee to use the appropriate bank of leave (PTO or vacation) without any reduction in salary. (1) Generally, an employer must pay an employee the entire s...
