When I leave home on a baseball diamond, I am usually taking a right to get to 1st base.

We can send you some of ours. We're supposed to get 7" today and more tomorrow and Wednesday. It looks like it will be a white Christmas in central Wisconsin!

Sorry, Don, it is so. However, I don't believe that it's recent legislation. I direct you to [url]www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/caer/cs/disabled/htm[/url] where a person can complete an application for a hunting licence even though they have been declared…

Ours happened about 3 years ago. We are a Rendering company and have a plant that processes raw animal hides to the point where they can be sent to the tannery to be made into leather. Part of this process involves dumping the hides into a large vat…

Registering in with another "29". So who am I?

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-19-03 AT 08:46AM (CST)[/font][p]I think I have them all--I hope this doesn't mean that I'm really 80 years old. Actually, this was a collaboration of three of us at work ranging in age between 37 and …

My Soap Opera name would be Marie Pine (not too exciting). My exotic Hollywood name would be Taffy Dauphin (kinda sounds like a "Laugh-In" name for those of you that remember that show).

Are you sure you're not originally from Wisconsin? Next to the Packers, cheese factories are the next hottest item! We have truck drivers from the south that buy cases of Wisconsin Cheddar and bratwursts to bring home for those summer cookouts.

Green Bay's feeling the pinch too! A week ago gas was $1.43/gal. Now it's up to $1.69 and still climbing!

We have an application that I can e-mail to you if you give me your e-mail address. Please let me know if you see something on it that does not conform with the norm. Also, please remember that I am with a Wisconsin corporation and some of what we h…

Theresa, I appreciate your comments. What I am looking for is referred to as a "Training Contract" in HR circles. However, when we present it to our employees we will present it more in the light of your suggestion, "Expectations during training". …

I do the payroll for my company and we have some employees who are paid bi-weekly and some employees who are paid weekly. For bi-weekly paid employees, the way I handle your situation is: I wait until they have been covered by the insurance for a w…

I don't believe that the reason the child is losing coverage is due to a qualifying event, therefore COBRA would not be applicable and, at the risk of sounding harsh, I would not want to keep someone on our plan who does not belong on our plan. Keep…

We run our Summer Buddy Program from Memorial Day through the week of Labor Day. Each participating employee must find a Buddy to partner up with and make sure that that person is trained in their main job duties. Then we alternate weeks with Buddy …

Another piece of advice I picked up from a seminar was that if you don't have an address for the custodial parent who is not your ex-employee, you can send the COBRA notification to the Child Support Agency with a cover letter asking them to forward…

We have come across this too. Even though we check all names and social security numbers it still comes to our attention (usually through child support when an employee finds out he has to pay for a child that is not his) that our employee is using …

We do have a couple meat packing plants in the area that have similar labor and they are facing the same problems we are. We are already addressing the turnover and with the labor market the way it is right now, turnover is not as much of a problem …

Our policy states that during the first 6 weeks of FML, the employee has the option of whether or not they wish to use paid time off. After 6 weeks, it is mandatory that their vacation or other paid time off is used. This applies to salaried as well…

No. The only employees who have to complete a new W-4 are those who were filing exempt as of the end of 2005.

You mention Foreign Nationals in your post and we have printed off the new I-9 form and see that Foreign National is now a check box on the front of the form. Can anyone explain what the difference is between a Foreign National and a Permanent Resi…

Pork -- Do you have a policy in place stating that if an employee lies on an application, it is a terminable offense and the employee is not eligible for rehire? We have such a policy in place and this has prevented us from facing your dilemma. Obv…

I agree with both Don and TN. We have received these calls in the past and have just ignored them. You have no proof that the person on the other end of the phone is who they are claiming to be and you have no obligation to respond to them or to eve…

We have a no fault absenteeism policy. Unless the employee makes arrangements at least 24 hours in advance of the absence or the absence falls under a protected leave category such as FMLA, we track all absences. Our system gives 1/2 point to tardie…

Our employees normally work either 8 or 12 hour shifts (depends on what department they are in). They receive one 15 minute paid break and one 30 minute unpaid lunch hour. Per state of Wisconsin statutes, any break less than 30 minutes in length mus…

I agree with Don D. on this one, but you should check with the laws of your state. In Wisconsin, we can only honor one garnishment at a time and we can run it for 13 weeks. Once that 13 weeks has expired, if there is another garnishment waiting in t…

We have one form that we use for requesting any time off whether it be vacation, floating holiday, attendance bonus day, bereavement day or unpaid time off. On this form we require the employee to list the relationship of the deceased so that we can…

For production employees, we let the individual department supervisors inform their employees of a termination in their department. Because most of our terminations in this area are a result of attendance, it usually is easy to figure out why the em…

According to the Circular E for 2003, "Generally, you must send to the IRS copies of certain Forms W-4 received during the quarter from employees still employed by you at the end of the quarter. Send copies when the employee claims (a) more than 10 …

Congratulations, Don! I know you're going to love non-union. The best move I ever made was going from a union company to a non-union one. I've appreciated all the insight and knowledge I've gained from you through your 2200+ posts. Don't be a strang…
