HR Compliance Library, ¶27,726, Do you need to compensate your employees for time spent volunteering on employer-sponsored activities?

摘要

Your company has a pay plan that includes "results pay awards" or bonuses that are based on a workrngroup’s performance. The work group’s performance bonus is calculated using a rewards matrix. This matrixrnawards varying amounts of points based on several categories of activities and performance standards. Onernof these categories, "Community Participation via Volunteer Efforts," accounts for approximately 10 percent ofrnthe total points the group can achieve under the plan. The rewards matrices are designed so that an employeerngroup can reach the highest award level without performing any volunteer activities.
