So my job works in billable hours and non-billable hours. We are required to have 25 billable hours a week per company policy. The rest of the 40 hours is in documentation of the 25 billable client hours. However, any number of reasons can make us short the 25 billable hours. Such as, client cancelations, or not enough clients etc… I am a full time salaried worker getting a specified amount a month. They have recently changed billing rules (per insurance standards), whereas we would need more clients to get the same amount of hours. This is causing all staff to fall short of meeting required hours. They have also put the following rule below into effect which starts this week. This last week I got 20 billable hours and documentation for this is about 15 additional hours. According to the message below I will only be paid for my billable hours and not the associated documentation that goes with it.
Is this legal?
Wanted to share this information with you all across the board. Moving forward effective today if you do not meet your target full-time hours, upper management will only be able to pay and approve your timesheet for the time billed. If you meet your 25 minimum per week, you will be paid out your full check of 40hrs. For an example: If you billed 22hrs, you will be paid out for 22hrs. If you bill 25hrs+, you will be paid out your full 40hr check.
