  • I completely understand your feedback, Popeye. However, I think the results depend upon what is asked. For instance, if the survey said something like "I believe that my compensation is above average compared with all similar companies in our geog…
  • Two of us who work in H.R. here both went through a 14-week preparation course at a vocational-technical school in our area. A consultant from Tulsa came once a week and conducted a 3-hour class to help us prepare. We did pre-exams, studied a modu…

  • Related to this question: We are in the process of developing an Absentee Policy. We do not have one in place at this time. I would love to receive some sample policies for consideration. If any of you are willing to share them, please email me …
  • When you refer to a Skill-Based Pay System, are you saying that everyone is on this system - Exempt, non-exempt, executives, etc. ??? Did you create a database to track skills? If not, how did you set it up?
  • This brings up a good point. Do any of you happen to know what the law says in Oklahoma regarding this?
  • I should probably add that on the contribution above $6.00 per week, we match $.25 per every dollar up to 15% of the employee's gross income. Employee's may contribute more than 15% of their income, but receive no company match on that additional p…
  • Pat, Please email me the 3-phase light-duty program you have in place. My email address is [email]mgeorge@blitzusa.com[/email] Thanks and Happy New Year!
  • Janet, I am curious: Do you allow 26 weeks of FMLA then? Or does the FMLA cut off at 12 weeks?
  • Our CEO privately owns the plane, not owned by our corporation. He also has a full-time licensed pilot. The CEO does not fly the plane, the pilot does. And, the pilot has about 25 years of flight time as a commercial pilot. Hope this helps clear…
  • DonD - Who did your one-day seminar on RTI? Can I have contact information? We are in Oklahoma, but certainly need something like this. We are non-union, but have had "union-organizing" rumblings over the past few months due to some changes tha…
  • Marc - I am intrigued by your sentence stating that you "give them a little something in their paycheck" for being smoke free. Please explain.
  • SMace - No - They wear the pedometer all of their waking hours. We say that "Every step counts." We are encouraging folks to set a goal and increase the number of steps they take each day. (Yes, I know this could be counterproductive at work - we…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-07-03 AT 09:19AM (CST)[/font][p]Sorry, but I must disagree with Don and others. We have a very active Wellness program and we bring awareness (often through contests and challenges) on all sorts of h…
  • Thanks for all of the posts. I do think I need to add that we do lots of company-wide functions - one of which is a huge picnic with rides and entertainment mid-summer. Family members get to attend this with our employees. Also, we do holiday dinn…
  • We strive to do a weekly letter called the "Blitz Update." We feature an employee, give some pertinent business information such as sales for the week and what is driving those sales numbers, maybe include a corner on wellness-related topics, etc. …
  • Please send me a copy of your Wellness Program too. My email address is [email]mgeorge@blitzusa.com[/email]. We have a program in place, but are always looking to improve upon what we are doing.
  • Thanks so much for the help,Barbara! This will be a very helpful tool!
  • Self-funded private employer. "Real" cost for single - $326.94, family - $883.14 However, our production employees pay a weekly premium that amounts to about 6% of the "real" cost of the insurance. Office/management group pays nothing for theirselv…
  • Where I am employed, all middle-managers (and I am one of them) are in a 30% bonus pool, meaning we received 30% of salary in additional bonuses. If you are earning $60,000 per year, bonuses would be $18,000 for the year. These are paid every 6 mo…
  • Thanks, Don. I thought about telling my boss that we could give our folks rolls of heavy plastic and duct tape so that they can seal off their office window and/or doors if some disease is "dumped" in our area. Certainly will be helping the busine…

  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-20-02 AT 02:49PM (CST)[/font][p]We gave an average of 4% raise - some got 2%, others got as much as 5% dependent on what quartile they were in of their pay range. Raises were not based on performance…
  • We are a plastics manufacturer. I am the H.R. Manager, reporting to the Vice President of Human Resources, who reports directly to our President. If it helps for comparison purposes, we have over 65 office and management personnel.
  • I would like to dress up as Catbert from the Dilbert comic strip. Anyone know where I might purchase a costume?
  • I would think that HIPAA is going to prohibit your obtaining this information. I guess I would wonder if you have an absolute need to know this anyway. Seems like most of it could be used to discriminate. You would be better off not getting the m…
  • I would like to have these samples as well. Email is [email]mgeorge@blitzusa.com[/email]. Fax number is 918-542-1380. Thanks!
