Thanks I activated my spider-sense

I’m leaving Cedarbare Centre today at 9:30 a.m. Two crazy cars are running the red light. When I see the second one, I start to wonder if I’m the one in the wrong.

Group Health Insurance is $600+/month per employee. What are you actually doing for your team life security? [TX]

We have a group of warehouse workers making $15-$18 per hours. We genuinely want to help our team with healthcare costs, but the $600+/month per employee for a high-deductible group plan is absolutely insane. I don't think I can convent my boss to increase 20% manpower budget...

Meanwhile, a lot of them could buy their own ACA plan for way less thanks to premium tax credits — so a group plan might actually make things worse for them...

What can we actually landed on? Is there a solution that genuinely helps employees without screwing up their ACA subsidies or costing a fortune to administer?

Does attendance bonus count 1.5 for overtime? [ON] [TX]

I’m currently setting up an HR/payroll system for a startup. We have employees in Ontario and Texas.

I am trying to confirm the rules regarding Attendance Bonuses and Overtime. My understanding of Ontario ESA and US FLSA is that an attendance bonus is non-discretionary, meaning it must be factored into the employee's regular rate of pay when calculating their 1.5x overtime rate.

Here is my dilemma: At my previous company (a massive corporation using ADP), I regularly worked OT and got attendance bonuses, but my OT rate was always just my base rate x 1.5. No adjustments were ever made. I find it hard to believe ADP or a huge company would get this wrong.

Am I missing a legal loophole here, or did my previous employer simply configure their ADP earnings codes incorrectly?

Any insights from Ontario or Texas HR/payroll folks would be greatly appreciated!
