I have a couple of questions about California payments to Non-Exempts:
1) We pay semi-monthly to our Non-Exempts for the current period, but their hours for exceptions (i.e. overtime, shift diff, etc) are paid in arrears based on our pay calendar. In order to pay accurately we withhold hours from their exception weeks if they don't work their entire standard hours as paid in their prior paycheck. Is this a practice that we could get into trouble with?
2) The meal period premium that is owed to employees. Is this additional pay beyond what they work in the day or is it just paying them for working the break?
