Re: [WISPA] remote employees

2014-01-23 Thread Hass, Douglas A.
Unfortunately, the lawyer didn't get that summary quite right.  Sadly, you 
CANNOT pay 1 chicken per hour, or other non-negotiable items, even if you and 
your employee agree to it!

Paying in chickens would violate both state minimum wage laws and the federal 
FLSA.  :)  The FLSA itself requires payment "in cash or negotiable instrument 
payable at par."  29 CFR 531.27(a) (though there are some exclusions for 
"board, lodging, or other facilities").  While you could potentially argue that 
the chickens represent board, lodging or other facilities, you're not going to 
be able to get away with calling a chicken a cash equivalent/negotiable 
instrument and paying your employees no cash.  Sorry!  The attorney was correct 
that "all overtime compensation must be paid in cash." 29 CFR 531.27(b).

I know that there has been some talk about bitcoin on this and the AFMUG list.  
It's still an open question whether bitcoin would be a "negotiable instrument." 
 I'd strongly recommend not paying your employees in bitcoin.

Remember that while federal law gives you some flexibility on the "cash 
equivalents" idea, your state's law might not.

Under the FLSA, damages get doubled, not tripled, though that's little 
consolation.  Perhaps the triple part that the attorney was talking about was a 
3-year lookback period on wages.  Your employee can go back 3 years form the 
date of the lawsuit and claim any unpaid wages or overtime during that time.  
That total can get doubled ("liquidated damages"), plus you have to pay 
pre-judgment interest and attorney fees.

If you had 10 employees working 15 extra minutes a day (say, answering e-mails 
on their lunch period or after hours), you will have racked up over $150,000 in 
potential back wage and overtime liability in just one year.  Don't mess with 
this stuff folks!  You're  rolling the dice with your business.

+1 to this. I was party to a case where the employer was giving out stock 
options for overtime submitted during on-call time and other time.  Labor law 
goes for triple damages. [(amount not paid + interest + fines) * 3]

The lawyer summed up FLSA and overtime like this:

You can pay 1 chicken per hour if you wish. No US dollars needed. As long as 
your employee and you agree on this exchange.

If your employee works ANY overtime then you must pay normal overtime wages 
(1.5X normal pay). You MUST use US DOLLARS! If you were paying in chickens then 
the US Dollar equivalent would be a standard cost of a chicken in USD * 1.5.

Re: [WISPA] outdoor shielded cable for installs in a box

2014-01-23 Thread Steve Barnes
Scott does not have the same issues due to using Mikrotik in mostly metal

protect the ports.

Are you using the unshielded for UBNT installs? I have started to to avoid
