  • Our company has moved away from the contests involving wellness. It became increasingly difficult to judge the contests and not offend anyone. We moved toward giving the employees opportunities to reduce their monthly health insurance contribution…
  • Thank you for the replies. I have been discussing otpions with my broker and we might use both suggestions to get us moving. We are also looking into a special section 125 account that will be funded by the company.

  • I agree with Gillian. If it is a true requirement, then search until you find the right person. If you don't, you will be setting yourself up for problems especially if you have an internal protected class employee who is as qualified for the posi…
  • Thanks. I discussed your position at length with our president; however, he still plans on providing company vehicles.
  • This is a medical question. Not a HR question. Contact your Medical Rewiew Officer from the testing facility that conducts your post offer physicals and drug and alcohol testing. This should be the same person identified in your Blood Borne Patho…
