FLSA Safe Harbor Policy
The College is committed to complying with all applicable federal and state wage and hour laws. Deductions from an employee’s salary may be made only for certain permissible purposes, to the extent allowed or required by law. Such deductions may include, but are not limited to, employee contributions for health, dental, or life insurance; disability or Paid Family Leave; federal, state, and local taxes; Social Security; and contributions to a retirement or pension plan.
To ensure accurate pay and prevent improper deductions, employees are expected to review their paystubs and verify that all information is correct. If an employee believes that an improper deduction has occurred or has any questions regarding their pay, they should promptly report this issue to The Office of Human Resources. Every report will be investigated thoroughly, and corrective action will be taken if warranted. If it is determined that an improper deduction was made, the College will reimburse the employee in full and take steps to correct any misapplication of this policy.
The College is committed to full compliance with this policy and will not tolerate retaliation against any individual who reports a suspected violation or participates in an investigation of a reported violation. Anyone found to engage in retaliation will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
