It is LHD’s policy and practice to compensate employees accurately and to do so in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws. To be certain that you are paid properly for all time worked and that no improper deductions are made, you must review your pay checks promptly to identify and report all errors, as set forth below. You will be paid semi-monthly--on the 15th and the last business day of the month. If either of those days falls on a weekend or holiday, payment will be made on the last business day prior to the weekend or holiday. We make every effort to ensure that our Employees are paid correctly. Occasionally, however, an inadvertent mistake can happen. When mistakes do happen and are called to our attention, we will take corrective actions as deemed appropriate for the situation. PAY DEDUCTIONS Each pay cycle, employees will receive a copy of their check or deposit advice, which includes a statement showing gross pay, deductions, and net pay. Local, state, federal, and Social Security taxes will be deducted automatically. No other deductions will be made unless required or allowed by law, contract, or employee obligation. Employees may elect to have additional voluntary deductions taken from their pay only if they authorize the deductions in writing. Your salary may also be reduced for certain types of deductions, such as your portion of health, dental or life insurance premiums; or voluntary contributions to a 401(K) plan. Please review your pay stub each pay period to make sure it is correct. If you believe a mistake has occurred or if you have any questions, please contact your supervisor or Human Resources immediately. OVERTIME Core hours at LHD are generally 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with a one-hour lunch period each day. If your position requires a different schedule, it must be approved by your supervisor. Non- Exempt employees are responsible for recording their work time on a time sheet and are eligible for additional pay for work performed beyond their scheduled 40-hour work week. Overtime is calculated at one and a half times (1½ X) the hourly base salary rate based on hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in a work week. The calculation of overtime does not include vacation, sick, holiday, bereavement, or any other time off with pay. The Employee’s supervisor must approve his/her hours worked at the end of each pay period. Prior to working overtime his/her supervisor must approve the time in advance. Bonuses LHD believes that the practice of paying annual bonuses bolsters recruitment and retention and allows employees to earn additional income based on performance. Bonuses are discretionary and may change without notice depending on market and economic conditions, or company direction.
