Are you rounding employee pay?

If employees clock in a little before or after their expected starting time, the U.S. Department of Labor says it’s permissible to use rounding as long as certain conditions apply: the employer does rounding in a neutral manner and, if the time is from 8 to 14 minutes, rounding is done to benefit the employees (i.e., this is an additional quarter hour). But some states, such as Oregon, are prohibiting the practice of rounding, so check in your state. #IdeaoftheDay
