  • SOOOOOOO glad to hear about another diabetic staying off the drugs.... I have been controlling my diabetes for 10 years without medication. Low carb is the way to go....
  • Now that was a totally fun read! Recently I attended a conference where the speaker said "make sure you bulletinize the new policy to all employees". We all knew what he meant but the eyebrows around the room went up and down at each other...kin…
  • [url]http://www.lawguru.com/cgi/bbs/user/search.cgi[/url] I sent this to you in an email but I wanted to post it for others to view. Good fun site to get legal case history etc.
  • SIMPLE POLICY: Personal Phone Calls and Personal Cell Phones Personal Cell Phone use and personal pagers in any area is prohibited. Should anyone have a short-term medical concern either personally or for an immediate family member, consideration f…

  • Our employee handbook When an observed holiday falls on a Saturday it will be celebrated on the preceding Friday. When an observed holiday falls on a Sunday it will be celebrated on the following Monday.
  • Need to do a Section 125 Plan. If it is for premium only that is not rocket science and can be done easily in house. Type in Section 125 plan in your search engine. Some really good samples out there. They use POP as abbreviation for Premium O…
  • I see that you received some valuable responses. I would only add that you review your policy definition of "wages". Our definition includes bonuses, deferred compensation, etc.
  • Linda: Are you saying for instance I could pay the difference in my prescription plan for the cost of drugs purchased outside of the tier one for instance. Tier one drugs are a $10 copay whereas Tier three is $45. So for say my 3 exempt managers …
  • But Betty do you consider pay a worker's comp check or a short term disability check? What if an employee has a lot of saved vacation time and uses it over a long period of time taking only say 2 days a week. Would they accrue vacation for the enti…
  • First you have to look at your Affirmative Action Plan. The types of AAP's out there is vast so to say there is any one method of determining cost would be inappropriate. However, I can send you our AAP and you can see how analysis works and then …
  • Get IRS publication #463 Travel, Entertainment, Gift and Car Expenses should be under forms and publications.
  • Once again Don is absolutely correct! I am the Senior Accountant and HR Director. To make sure what Don has explained does not occur here I created 2 job descriptions. My limited Senior Accountant duties have me at times reporting to our Controll…
  • I once again love Don's response. When I am having a stressful day I come in and look for a response from Don to make me laugh and otherwise change my day!!!! Anyway, I just wanted to add that sometimes a garnishment is also a condition that if ov…
  • According to the Department of Labor, the check should be paid to the executor of the estate of the deceased. This information can be obtained from the local county clerk of courts. The check should be made to the estate of the deceased person, e.g.…
  • WE DO NOT ALLOW THEM PERIOD. AS A PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY I DON'T WANT AN EMPLOYEE TAKING PHOTOS OF SOMEONE IN AN APARTMENT WHILE SHALL WE SAY, TRIMMING THE HEDGES! NOTE: WE SAY PERSONAL PHONE. THOSE WHO ARE ISSUED COMPANY CELL PHONES KNOW BE…
  • I'm with Njjel... How do you know there is no medical reason. Word of caution here on making that assumption right away.
  • AS USUAL DON YOU MADE MY DAY!LOL I AGREE TOTALLY WITH YOU. THIS IS WAY OVER THE TOP.
  • KRISTIN: I am Human Resources Director and Senior Accountant. I insisted on 2 job descriptions and convinced management that this would be in their best interest. If I were hit by a truck they would most likely have to hire 2 different people as …
  • DON you always make me laugh in these forums! Thanks for that any day of the week. This small company I work for is specialized in that some employees need certain certificates etc. that require time to obtain and tasks that take time to become "g…
  • I always like the respondent that is not afraid to "tell it like it is" or how they perceive it is. Anyway, phased retirement is something that a lot of companies are looking at (as I read daily) to handle a couple of things. First, the aging workf…
  • I totally agree with the postings. We outsourced prior to my becoming HR Director. It took me 2 years to build back trust. It often cost less to keep HR in house and in our case that is definately the case. I think it depends on the size of the co…
  • I think the answer to your question is in your definition of team work. If one works with others as a team to promote the company quest, mission etc. that is one thing. I do not think employees lose their individuality when they work as a team playe…
  • On a similar note.... Since 9/11, Government has not at all been reluctant to agree with employers who use gross misconduct where any threatening language is present. In a number of cases where employees walked out saying things like "I'm going …
  • We do keep them in different sections. The whole issue of tenant privacy is not where my question is going. That is another subject for another day and you are right there is tons of information about that everywhere. My question is not about ten…
