Description
Summary:Questions on mobile device security and differential pay are answered. The HR department has long been the protector of sensitive employee information. Historically, this information was kept under literal lock and key with restricted access. In today's world, this type of information is often stored in Web-based formats and accessible to those with the correct credentials from any device with Internet connectivity. The following practices can help secure confidential employee information: 1. Tighten password use. 2. Educate employees on policy. 3. Enforce and monitor the policy. 4. Use technological solutions. 5. Understand relevant laws. Separately, while the federal Fair Labor Standards Act doesn't require private employers to provide differential or premium pay to employees, many employers will reward employees with additional pay in various situations. Practices vary widely on this issue. Reasons for differential pay include shift work, call-back work, weekend work and hazardous duty.
