  • OK, maybe I'm slow, but how do you access these wonderful icons??
  • OK, maybe it's because it's a shutdown week for us (no business)and I've been working like a mad woman doing catch up work and need a break, but my manager and I have a few. 1) Not necessarily related to HR, but don't you just love when you get se…

  • Don D has me stumped - although when I read your answer I think you are right. Don D??? And do you give up on the second state?
  • Hannibal, Missouri was the one they stuck with through the end of the series, but there was another state when he first joined the show . . .
  • NO FAIR!! It WOULD be that the first person to read my question would be from TOLEDO! And do you know the TWO states that Colonel Potter says he was from? And for all others who haven't yet read my question in the profile, we are talking M*A*S*H …
  • Well, Don, I just did it! Mine wasn't disabled, but I did add a trivia question to my comment section - wonder how many know the right answer? 8-}
  • Myth: Time to pick up paychecks varies from pay period to pay period. Fact: It's the same time EVERY PAY PERIOD (although I have had at least half a dozen calls in the three and a half years I've been here stating otherwise). ;;) OK, so maybe …
  • We have also had an employee out on worker's comp. for several months. Our policy states vacation is earned per hours paid, not hours worked. Therefore, she is not entitled to any vacation time, as she used all of it at the beginning of her worker…
  • OK, here's my two cents worth. We are a corporate training facility of approximately 230 total employees and have Kronos cards for the timeclock that simply have the person's name. Name badges are made with a portion of our company logo on badges …
  • Good morning Jeffrey! We use an accrual rate per hour paid. 3 years or less - maximum annual accrual is 80 hours - accrual rate is .038462. 3 years - 8 yrs. - max. annual accrual is 120 hours - accrual rate is .057692. 8 years - 11 yrs. - max. a…

  • We have a Peak Performer of the Month every month that is selected by our Senior Leadership staff (Directors). The Peak Performer of the Month gets his/her name and picture on a plaque, $50.00 cash, a special nametag stating Peak Performer of the M…
  • James - I actually got that information from Christy under separate cover along with the account rep. for Georgia. Thanks so much for your input, as well as the other input I've received so far!! x0:)
  • Njjel - I know how fortunate we are, but as you know there are others that unfortunately don't realize it . . . .
  • Answered my own question - for anyone that actually needs a copy of this from the IRS, go to this website - [url]www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p15.pdf[/url] - the rate is listed on page 9 on the right hand side!
  • Does anyone know of a website that I can access to get a hard copy of the IRS guideline of .365?
  • GREAT ARTICLE! I'm forwarding it to my Director and GM for review. Thanks!! =D>
  • I just downloaded the article KDowney referred to above from ahipubs and it has some suggestions at the end of the article on what other companies are doing.
  • Funny you should write this - I just sent a memo yesterday to our General Manager suggesting that we honor our local police and fire stations in some way, and hope to hear back on that soon. It seems insignificant in some way, but anything would be…
  • I can do you one better on the Personnel Action Form, since I actually created it on Microsoft Word. Just provide me your e-mail address and I will be happy to e-mail it. I will fax the FMLA form.
  • We have an all encompassing Personnel Action Form that is used for vacation time, sick time, leave, jury duty, raises, terminations, new hires, etc. When someone is going out on maternity leave, they normally let their supervisor/ director know and…
  • Rockie, Good morning! We are a corporate training facility in Georgia (appx. 230 employees) and we do our performance reviews on the anniversary dates. Currently, I prepare a list of evaluations that are due by quarter so the managers know three …
  • I actually have an applicant screening form that we use for anyone who might be interested - just let me know your e-mail address. It has places for three people BESIDES Human Resources to screen and put their comments.
  • We do Polaroids here, but only AFTER the person has been hired. We put them on a new hire board with their name and department underneath so everyone can get to know names and faces.
  • Asking for a date of birth is not a problem in my understanding, if you do it as a post-offer, pre-employment question. If you have offered someone a job pending a background check (saying they have the job as long as the background check is clear)…
  • We always do the background check and drug screen as a post-offer process. I think you might run into difficulty if you use the background checks as your sole reason for hiring or not hiring someone, and is it really necessary subject your company …
  • Just a note - remember that I-9's need to be kept in a separate place away from the personnel files.
  • Interestingly enough, we posed the exact same question to our employment law attorney, and he wrote back the following: "Your third question related to merging employees' separate files upon their termination. Merging the files is permitted, but n…
  • My thinking is that you actually have to see the documents in order to write the information down that is required (i.e. document number, expiration date). So I don't think keeping documentation is necessary.
