Compensation and Payroll Practices Policy
(AL)

Summary

This template is a compensation and payroll practices policy for use in Alabama. It covers payment of wages, deductions, exempt employees, timekeeping (including off-the clock prohibitions), overtime, meal and rest breaks, breaks for nursing mothers, on-call time, and wage and hour complaints. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, and alternate and optional clauses. Employers may include this policy in an employee handbook or distribute it as a standalone policy. Its language has been customized to comply with Alabama and federal law. As a result, the text of this template differs from the non-jurisdictional Compensation and Payroll Practices Policy. This policy is intended for private employers. For a full listing of key content covering employee handbook considerations, see Employee Handbook Resource Kit. For information on Alabama laws concerning compensation and payroll practices, see the Alabama row of the Wage and Hour State Practice Notes Chart and Wage and Hour (AL).
