Compensation and Payroll Practices Policy
(IN)

Summary

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