Yep, I got the same message, but James has explained as a mistake. I will be retiring July 23, but am highly recommending that my successor renew the subscription. This has been a wonderful resource and I feel like I know a lot of you.

We've had a chili cook-off during the winter for several years. It's always fun. We give gift certificates to "Chili's" restaurants for prizes. The winner's name is engraved on a plaque on permanent (as permanent as anything in HR) display. I ma…

We recently hired a very nice young lady whose legal first and middle names, are Cocaine Heroin. We had to put it into the payroll system because of her SS records. Fortunately, she goes by another name that is fairly common. What were her parent…

Thanks. I appreciate hearing from you about the re-cert.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-18-03 AT 01:19PM (CST)[/font][p]I ordered the SHRM self-study materials on CD and worked through them repeatedly. I also took the study course offered through OSU-OKC. It was very helpful too. But …

I APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY!! I'm in enough trouble with you as it is, without blaming you erroneously. That's what I get for not reading back to make sure.

Margaret, I confess. It wasn't the men who started it. When Don said he didn't know there were any women in Oklahoma, I pointed out our numerous winners of the Miss America contest. I just wanted him to know that HR in Okla. is definitely female.…

Sorry, Okla. has MS beat. I can think right off of Jayne Jayroe, Susan Powell, Shawntel Smith and I"m sure there is at least one other from years farther back. The three I remember for sure are all Okla. City University grads. When I get through r…

Sorry, I don't have stats on marital status. Go to [url]www.OCHRS.org[/url] for info on joining the chapter. It helps it you live close enough to Okla. City to attend the meetings. Where do you live?
-
Obviously, you haven't watched the Miss America contest through the years. We've had numerous winners of the national title, definitely females. Our Ok. City HR Society chapter has many talented, attractive females too, as well as our share of int…

I'm definitely female, don't tell me you stereotyped me as a man, because of my intelligent responses! Profile? Is there somewhere to do a profile? I think I probably wanted to remain anonymous so I could ask dumb questions and say tacky things a…
-
I'm slow to see this one, since I'm usually stuck on legal questions and don't take time for the humor section. I'll change my ways and find time for the truly important things in life. Thanks for giving us a face to go with the name and the info.…

Is this available to all food service department employees? Other than food service staff? Can they carry it out or must they eat on premises? Our big issue is meals being carried out, mostly like in greater quantity than food for that one person…

Thanks, I do have a comprehensive safety policy and plan that I would share with you if you'd like to have it. We are a retirement home/assisted living/nursing facility, so our needs are somewhat different, but my policy might be useful. For our t…

We are a retirement facility. Needless to say, many of our residents feel strongly that tattoos and body piercing are repulsive. Our nursing and dietary departments require that tattoos be covered if possible. We do not have a facility-wide policy o…

Thanks, I agree the website info is excellent. I have printed all of it for reference. It's just this one job that didn't fit neatly into any class.

The accrual structure varies with seniority, but basically most exempt employees gets one week a year more than non-exempt with same seniority. We don't have that many exempt and most put in plenty of hours. I've not had anyone complain about it i…
-
Thanks, she is paid salaried at well over the $455/week and rarely, if ever, would work over 40 hours a week. This higher accrual rate for exempt has been in place far longer than I have. We justify it by saying they don't get overtime pay and mos…
-
Thanks for the opinions. I'll see what other insights she has to add to the discussion.
-
Thanks, I've never felt really comfortable with exempt recording actual hours. We do use time sheets for tracking absences, vacation days etc. I'm glad to know it doesn't jeopardize someone's status to record their actual hours, as long as they ar…
-
Thanks, at least we know we are talking about two different companies. I think I will post another question with Paycom in the title. Sorry, don't know anything about Paycor.
-
Is it Paycor or Paycom? We are considering a change from Ceridian to Paycom, which is an on-line service. The initial presentation looked pretty good. It seems fast and simple. The report writing process is much, much easier than Ceridian's, but…
-
I appreciate the information also. One concern we have had is on LPNs, but few of ours would meet the salary threshold.
-
My contention, Don, has always been non-exempt. Thanks for your input.
-
I spoke with an attorney who spoke at a recent HR meeting I attended. His topic was the proposed regs. He said, based on the current administrative exemption, with discretion and independent judgement, they could be exempt. We are in the process …
-
Thanks for the information. Since the proposed regs are still only "proposed," I'm reluctant to base a decision on them. Also, I have read a lot of commentary on them, but haven't seen the actual regs. I'm to attend a meeting next week where they…
-
I'd like to get hold of the full proposal. I'm not sure what I got from DOL is anything but a synopsis. It was a good comparison between the current guidelines and the proposed one, but I'd like more specific direction as to the meaning of "holds …
-
I agree. Thanks for the input. I got some additional info. on this subject from BLR who had a link to the DOL website. Seems the salary level is an issue for many positions. The one I was looking at is paid high enough to quality.
-
The issues with this particular person are Long Term Disability insurance and a higher rate of vacation accrual for exempt staff. Our problem with her is keeping her at work, not with abuse of overtime. I classified the position as non-exempt over…
-
Thank you for the information, which is about what I thought. So this is not a done deal yet, but is expected to go into effect with little or no change. Since it is not effective yet, I will wait for further information before using the new rules…
