A: Different forms of the same gene are called alleles. A genetic locus is the spot on the chromosome where alleles for a specific gene can be found. Diploid organisms, including humans, have two alleles at each genetic locus because they inherit one allele from each parent.
Currently all employees are required to either punch the time clock (all clerical employees, non billable to clients) or submit a weekly timesheet of all hours worked/jobs performed. Hours are then calculated and submitted to payroll. An hourly employee will receive their pay stub indicating the total number of hours worked for the pay period. And salary employees receive their pay stubs with no indication of hours worked, just simply their salary pay for the period. We have a bi-weekly payroll.
Many states have reporting pay laws that guarantee an employee payment for a minimum number of hours when the employee reports for a scheduled shift. In those states, even if the employee works only 5 minutes, or reports to work but does no work at all, the employee is entitled to a minimum payment.
