		<description><![CDATA[As an employer, you can establish whatever company policies you like about the use of PTO or vacation time.

		<description><![CDATA[Tennessee is one of 5 US states with no minimum wage. (The others are Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and South Carolina.) If you are an employer with more than $500,000 in revenue, you are covered under the federal minimum wage, which is currently $5.85 per hour. On July 24, 2008 the federal minimum wage will go up to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Under federal law, a salaried exempt employee must be paid for the entire day if he or she works even one hour that day. So theoretically, an exempt employee could work one hour each day, five days per week, and be paid for the entire week. That&#8217;s a minimum of 5  hours. Of course, in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Employers should be aware that on January 1, 2008 the Arizona minimum wage was increased to $6.90 per hour.  The next increase will be on January 1, 2009 &#8212; but no one knows how much it will be yet. That&#8217;s because the Arizona minimum wage is adjusted annual based on the cost of living.

		<description><![CDATA[Your assumption is incorrect. There is no law that you must pay salaried workers for a holiday, if they perform no work on that day. Salaried workers need not be paid for a day when they perform no work at all. That’s true whether the employee misses work, or the employer closes the office on [...]]]></description>
