[VIDEO] Straight Cash Homey: Week 5



Column 4 - Hours worked: List the day and date and straight time and overtime hours worked in the applicable boxes. On all contracts subject to the Contract Work Hours Standard Act, enter hours worked in excess of 40 hours a week as "overtime".


Column 6 - Rate of Pay (Including Fringe Benefits): In the "straight time" box for each worker, list the actual hourly rate paid for straight time worked, plus cash paid in lieu of fringe benefits paid. When recording the straight time hourly rate, any cash paid in lieu of fringe benefits may be shown separately from the basic rate. For example, "$12.25/.40" would reflect a $12.25 base hourly rate plus $0.40 for fringe benefits. This is of assistance in correctly computing overtime. See "Fringe Benefits" below. When overtime is worked, show the overtime hourly rate paid plus any cash in lieu of fringe benefits paid in the "overtime" box for each worker; otherwise, you may skip this box. See "Fringe Benefits" below. Payment of not less than time and one-half the basic or regular rate paid is required for overtime under the Contract Work Hours Standard Act of 1962 if the prime contract exceeds $100,000. In addition to paying no less than the predetermined rate for the classification which an individual works, the contractor must pay amounts predetermined as fringe benefits in the wage decision made part of the contract to approved fringe benefit plans, funds or programs or shall pay as cash in lieu of fringe benefits. See "FRINGE BENEFITS" below.

Contractors who pay no fringe benefits: If not paying all fringe benefits to approved plans, funds, or programs in amounts of at least those that were determined in the applicable wage decision of the Secretary of Labor, pay any remaining fringe benefit amount to each laborer and mechanic and insert in the "straight time" of the "Rate of Pay" column of the payroll an amount not less than the predetermined rate for each classification plus the amount of fringe benefits determined for each classification in the application wage decision. Inasmuch as it is not necessary to pay time and a half on cash paid in lieu of fringe benefits, the overtime rate shall be not less than the sum of the basic predetermined rate, plus the half time premium on basic or regular rate, plus the required cash in lieu of fringe benefits at the straight time rate. In addition, check paragraph 4(b) of the statement on page 2 the payroll form to indicate the payment of fringe benefits in cash directly to the workers. Note any exceptions in section 4(c).


California has been experiencing an increase in occurrence of Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) theft.

If you think your benefits may have been stolen, you should immediately call the customer service telephone number on the back of your EBT card, (877) 328-9677, or contact your county social services agency.


To get more of a sense of what the course is about...The Introduction is designed to give you a sense of mindfulness and an idea of how this course is structured. For each of the eight weeks, videos, readings and practices help you build a base of both knowledge and experience. MBSR "At a Glance" provides a brief outline of the MBSR course.


This also involved seeing if the CodeWorkers share their video so we could see their faces, can they rename themselves and are there any issues with that, what devices are they accessing zoom from, do they need a laptop or computer access for the rest of the program, and other stuff like that. This was all done for an hour on Wednesday at 10 am EST and I was leading the connectivity test. Jo, the senior manager at CITS, gave me host status so I can let people in from the zoom wait room throughout the hour. I just kept on reiterating throughout the hour what the connectivity test was for and how to rename yourself and guiding the CodeWorkers joining through the functions of zoom and making sure they were all good to go. There were a few cool things I got to do, like a vibes check from 1 to 10 (1 being the worst and 10 being the best) of how the students were doing in that moment and how they were feeling, trying to lead with empathy and express gratitude for the CodeWorkers being able to join with us despite any challenges they may have been facing, and find a sort of way to meet them where they are. Also, I got to get a lot of the CodeWorkers to share there pronouns and nicknames, and there were a few transgender CodeWorkers that only had their government names on file on our roster and not their real names that they preferred to be addressed as so I was very glad we got to collect that information on their names, nicknames and pronouns and got to update our roster for the upcoming week when we started to work with them. I thought I was able to lead the connectivity test really well and everything went pretty smoothly. Outside of the connectivity test the rest of the week was a bit stressful because it was the week before CodeWorks and we were working on advisory groups up until the very end of Friday but I was proud of all we accomplished and I am excited to work with the CodeWorkers next week and get to communicate with them and learn more about them as I enjoyed talking with them in the limited opportunity I got to in the connectivity test and already think some of them are really cool and funny. I definitely feel like I get a kick out of meeting the CodeWorkers and getting to know their stories and who they are as people so looking forward to that. 2ff7e9595c
