In general, for Texas it is illegal to offer comp time to workers rather than paying them overtime. Overtime is governed by federal, not state laws, and can be reviewed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtime.

Is it legal for an HR Supervisor to discuss with another employee whether someone got paid or took vacation for sick time off in Texas?

In Texas, discussing an employee's pay or use of sick time could potentially violate privacy laws, such as the Texas Payday Law or the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act. It is generally considered appropriate to keep such information confidential within the HR department and only share it with those who have a legitimate need to know.

Why did slave codes become more strict overtime?

Slave codes became more strict over time in order to control and exploit the enslaved population more effectively. As resistance and uprisings increased, slave owners and colonial governments implemented harsher laws to maintain power and prevent rebellion. Additionally, as slavery became more entrenched in the economic and social systems of the time, more stringent regulations were put in place to reinforce the institution.

Why rural municipalities don't have to pay overtime OT?

(in the US) ALL employers (provate and government) must abide by the minimum wage and hour laws established by the federal giovernment. Some, however, do offer time off (compensatory time off) in lieu of paying an actual overtime salary.

Can an organization offer Comp time in lieu of overtime and make you take it within 30 days or lose it---that means you won't get paid for the overtime eithe?

You will have to check the specific wording of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). It MAY depend on your occupation, salary status, duties, title, etc., but - as a general rule, yes, they can probably do that. Re: comp time earned as O/T when working in excess of 40 hours - - if your company offers time-and-a-half or double-time pay for O/T then the comp time they credit you with MUST also be calculated and given at the same rate. (e.g.: one hour of time-and-a-half pay would be equal to one and one half hours comp time off, - - one hour of double-time pay would be equal to TWO hours comp time off.)


When can time off in lieu if pay be given for overtime?

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.


How do you figure the cost of workman's comp into payroll?

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.
