I have an employee that is currently on salary but not working full weeks like she did in the beginning. Can I change her from salary to hourly and if so how should this be positioned to her?

I would just tell her that if she is unable to complete "x" amount of hours in the next pay period, then she will begin to receive hourly wages. Make it clear to her that salary is meant to be paid only if she works the set amount that she agreed to when she was put on salary. Also give her a chance to correct her issue, maybe she just didn't realize she HAD to work that amount. I work in management and we have problems like this, just be straight and honest, that's all you can do.

As for figuring how much an hour she should make:
(salary) / (amount of hours she is SUPPOSED to work) = her hourly wage!

I edited to include this: If a contract of some kind was signed when she began receiving salary, then you are legally able to tear up the contract and start a new one if she is not holding up to her end of the deal. Therefore, she said she would work x number of hours, you said you would pay her x amount. But she is not abiding by the contract, therefore you are not obligated to do so on your part.

Yes u can = discuss with staff member and suggest change = beneficial to both parties ( hypothetically can resign and immediately be reinstated at hourly rate. = Remember hourly rates (=part time) now have generous normal staff allowances/holidays etc.

Hello sky:

Unless she DOES have a contract, all employees are working "at will". That's a legal term meaning you can fire them for no reason, change their working hours for no reason, reduce their pay for no reason, or give them a raise for no reason at all.

Therefore, you can change her salary to hourly anytime you want for any reason at all. If she doesn't like it, she can quit.
