We hire a large amount of part time employees in our non-traditional high school as “tutors” in the classroom. We are a year round school, but have sporadic days off during the year as “breaks” for students and sometimes faculty and staff. We don’t provide “contracts” of employment, but offer employees a position, for a school year but make it clear that it is not a contract and that employment can be severed at any time by the employer or employee. Part time employees get paid by the hour only for hours worked and are not paid for holidays. In the past we had an employee who attempted to apply for unemployment benefits when we were on a break from around 12/23-1/2 of the next year. Employment was never severed by either party, so I don’t believe he was successful in obtaining benefits, but is there something we can write in our offer letters that explain that employment is not severed when on a break?

We have a hand full of employees that have FSA accounts; with that being said we fund them up front at the beginning of the year. My question is what happens when an employee terminates before all the deductions are taken from them. I know we can’t make them pay the remaining balance but does that portion (balance remaining) now become a taxable benefit to the employee and need to be reported on the W2 somewhere? Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. Read More We have a hand full of employees that have FSA accounts; with that being said we fund them up front at the beginning of the year.
