Compliance Issue Spotlight

A recent shift in grievances filed reinforces the need to pay final checks in a timely manner when project restart timelines are unclear and face potential long-term delays.

While it's a standard industry practice to "keep guys on the bench" during the ups and downs of a project schedule, the longer an employee sits, the more likely they may seek clarity on their continued employment situation and maybe seek payments owed.

The longer they sit on the bench, the stronger the argument becomes that waiting time penalties may be owed if final paychecks weren't issued timely to when they worked their last day. If this issue arises or you'd like to review your pay policies, contact Victor Sella, (510) 362-6959.
