  • I'm referring to any arrangement (including telecommuting, job sharing, compressed work weeks, etc.) that is different from the "normal" operating hours of the company. I'd like to have one policy that addresses all, but I'll take examples of any o…

  • As long as you stuck to the facts and not opinions, you are fine and you did the right and the smart thing.
  • A "quick and dirty" way is to add up the total # of employees you had/have for the period you want to measure and then add up the number of employee who terminated during the same period. Divide the # terminated by the total # you have/had and that…
  • I can only speak from my past experience. The last company I worked for tried introducing each new employee to the rest of the staff with a picture and a short bio that was displayed in the major hallways. It was a very nice display and a lot of p…
  • If your question has to do with whether you have to pay double time or time + 1/2 if an employee works on the holidays you mentioned, the answer is no. The holidays you mentioned are given as paid time off to some employees by some companies, but c…
