My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: NC
We have just hired a part-time office manager. My question is, is it common to write up a contract for a part-time position, and what types of things should be included? We are not offering benefits (other than discounts on our products). I haven't been able to find a sample contract for a p/t non-salaried position. Just wondering what I should think about in making up our own to make sure we cover our bases. Here is what I was thinking about making clear:
-Wages (obviously)
-Reviews (90 days and then yearly)
-Vacation (we don't offer paid vacation leave, but should we put in writing that it is fine for our employee to take 2 weeks without pay for vacation/personal time?)
-Benefits (should I specify in writing that we aren't offering health ins or other benefits, but do offer specific discount on our items)
-Do I need to specify if the position is exempt from overtime? The standard hours are 25 per week but during our busy season this can go over 40. We don't pay overtime for this though. Do you need to specify exempt/non-exempt in a part-time contract?
Anything else that I might be overlooking? We are a small business and are fairly new to having an employee. I just want to make sure that we are doing the right thing.
TIA.
