Our departments also battle for the best theme. Last year we happened to do the Wizard of Oz. I dressed as the Wicked Witch of the East (the one hit by the house). I decorated a cardboard box to look like a house and cut a hole for my head and fe…

We offer the flu shot each year through the Visiting Nurses' Association. Last year the shot was $17 per employee. This year they are $25.

It is my understanding that Betty Rubble has been included as a part of the Flinstone vitamin family since 1996. Granted, it took 27 years, but good things come to those who wait.

I was in line at 6:30 this morning and voted at 7:50 am. By the time I left, there were at least 300 people waiting. This is great! I can't wait to watch the coverage this evening.

My fiance and I are going to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic for our honeymoon. I am counting down the days. We are both taking two weeks off to enjoy each other and our new lives!

That town must be related to Virginville here in Pennsylvania!

Helping to run our family's bar and grill was one of the most difficult jobs that I have ever had in my life! My sister was a floor manager/bartender, my mother and I waitressed, ran payroll and handled benefits in addition to keeping our full time …

I wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember and every year when school lets out for the summer, I kick myself in the rear!

29 and counting. The best part about the last six years in HR has been that when I thought I knew everything at 23 and went into HR, I found out quickly that I didn't. I continue to learn something new everyday. And, there is never a dull moment …

Anything by Meatloaf makes my ears bleed. Oh, and Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel is pretty bad too.

My soap opera name would be Brooke Sycamore and my exotic name would be Goldie Sycamore. This is too funny!

Better yet, maybe he is hiding behind one of the colored masks on Mr. Personality!

I completely agree. I too paid for the prep course and materials. I studied the materials in great detail memorizing as much as I possibly could. When I went to the exam, I realized that I wasted a huge amount of time. The exam did not cover the…

Mine is from my last employer. It was a small privately owned company with an owner who knew nothing about HR. Upon starting with the company, I questioned why he was paying the only male branch manager (there were six of them) 7,000 more a year t…

We are a financial institution with around 50 employees. We offer three days for immediate family (spouse, mother, father, brother, sister, son, daughter, or any of the preceeding prefixed by step.) We offer one day for a mother in law, father in …

Eliza, Thanks for your comments, they are much appreciated.

I also utilize a postcard for unsolicited resumes. It reads: Thank you for taking the time to submit your resume to xyz co. We currently do not have any positions available. However, I will be keeping your resume on file for a period of one year …

You will need to remove the statement from your handbook that states that employees will not receive overtime pay unless previously authorized by a supervisor. This statement is in violation of the FLSA. As seen in the overtime regulations, any ti…

All of our part time employees (currently we have 5 of them) receive 3.75 hours of holiday time. Each part time employee is normally scheduled 20-30 hours per week. Our full time employees receive 7.5 hours of holiday pay due to normally working a…

We are a smaller financial institution and we too pay overtime on vacation, personal sick and holiday time.

We had an intern from a local college last summer working in our accounting department. We paid her the rate which we would pay an entry level employee in the department.

Our loan officers are all non-exempt employees. We view the position as working within established approval guidelines, leaving little room for interpretation or independent decision making.
-
Are the job duties changing? Are the exempt person's responsibilities being added to the job description? If they are not, then the position is still non-exempt. (That is assuming it was classified correctly as a non-exempt position in the first …

Don, Are the 40.0 hour people getting their work done? We encourage our employees to leave at 40 if their work is completed. No one is going to engrave on a tombstone that they worked more than 40 hours a week. If they get the job done, I would …

The FLSA does not require you to pay overtime on holiday or vacation pay. It is on hours worked.
-
We have a policy in place that our employees must work the scheduled day before and after a paid holiday to qualify for holiday pay. If they are out for other than previously arranged vacation or personal time, they must provide a doctor's excuse. …

The FLSA allows for docking for a day or more of sick time if it is in conjunction with a bona-fide plan. Therefore, if you have such a system in place and the employee in question has exhausted all leave allowances under the plan, you could deduct…

We use Facilities Maintenance for our job title. The individual does a little bit of everything around here from moving shred to cleaning litter off the grounds, replacing lightbulbs, etc.
