Hazard Pay?

Posted February 4, 2021

I have been receiving calls from some members asking about Hazard pay. Do I get it? Why I’m I not getting hazard pay? Should the company be paying me Hazard pay? The answer is No. There is no Federal or state law that requires an employer to provide hazard pay, but a company can decide to provide it and if the employer does then the employer can determine the specific amount and the conditions under which it is given. Also the Fair Labor standards Act (FLSA) does not mandate Hazard Pay so a employee cannot insist on or file a FLSA violation.
