Salaried employees can qualify for overtime based on their job duties - method of payment is irrelevant to that decision, only duties matter.
Private employees can never get comp time in lieu of overtime. Government employees can't get comp time unless the employer offers it in a written policy.
Governments cannot be compelled to offer comp time.
Yes if the employee is salaried then the company does not have to pay overtime, only comp time.
You are thinking of what is called compensatory or "comp" time which is accrued by some FLSA exempt (e.g. salaried) workers for any time they work over 40 hours in a given seven day period. Non-exempt workers must be paid for overtime.
Worker's compensation is calculated by the type of job an employee does. Each job classification is rated by the underwriter according to risk, then the worker's comp premium is multiplied by the gross dollar amounts paid to employees. An officer of a corporation and other select employees can opt out of worker's comp. Also, if an employee works overtime, the straight time is subject to worker's comp, but the "half" of "time and a half" is not.
In Texas, private employers are not required to provide overtime pay or compensatory time off, unless otherwise agreed upon in an employment contract or company policy. However, non-exempt employees must be paid one and a half times their regular rate of pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Additionally, comp time can be used in lieu of overtime pay as long as it is mutually agreed upon between the employer and employee.
At the BSW level it will depend partially if you are hired on an hourly wage or as a salaried employee (also will depend a bit on what state you live in). As an hourly employee you would be required to work 40 hours and if you worked more you would get over-time. If you are salaried you are not entitled to overtime (though some organizations will give comp time). You are payed to get a job done and if that requires you to work overtime then that is what you are expected to do. So it is less about what area you work in and more about what type of employee you are. I've seen government employees put in 60+ hours and mental health folks put in 40.
Yes. Kentucky work comp requirements are very specific. If you have one or more employees, you have required to provide work comp coverage for those employees.
You are allowed up to three employees before you have to do workman's comp.
Yes.
That depends on if you get paid overtime rates, or if your overtime is converted to Comp time and used as reguar hours. Check with your HR department to find out how it is handled in your company.
The workers comp insurance company requires the employer to insure all the employees.
Not where I live unless you can prove it is a requirement of employment. And then it is a huge fight
This depends in what state your business is located.
