The Alabama Department of Labor is a state agency responsible for overseeing labor laws and regulations within the state of Alabama. They work to ensure compliance with state labor laws, provide resources for both employers and employees, and promote a safe and fair work environment for all.
In today’s workplace, few tools are as important as the employee handbook. This essential document connects your company policies with your workforce needs. However, creating and maintaining a handbook presents challenges to businesses of all sizes.
On that note, we’re examining what makes handbooks so valuable, obstacles they can present, and how Mosey helps you overcome traditionally steep hurdles like non-exempt employee handbook requirements. As you’ll see, even the most complex handbook challenges become opportunities for clearer communication and stronger compliance with the right approach.
Understanding the difference between exempt and non-exempt employees is critical to properly running your business and paying your employees fairly. Review with Mosey the basics of exempt and non-exempt employees.
What Is an Exempt Employee? When we talk about exempt employees, we’re referring to employees who aren’t covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). These employees are paid a fixed salary and are exempt from earning overtime pay, among other protections.
An employee handbook might sound like another checkbox on your business’s to-do list, but it’s much more than that. It’s a resource that defines the foundation of your company — setting expectations for employees, outlining key benefits, and keeping everyone aligned with the organization’s values.
At its core, an employee handbook ensures compliance, clarifies company policies, and keeps employees and management on the same page.
