  • Just a quick question... Who is Aunt Bea? She sounds like some 1950's TV character.

  • Your out of luck... My Father moved to NM in the early 1950's after a tour in Korea. He decided he had had enough of the hot humid summers and freezing snow covered winters. His mom continued to live there until her death a couple of years ago- h…

  • The whole point of abreviating is to eliminate the need for typing. Therefor, roflmao is the proper spelling. "the" is not needed.
  • Very nice- I'm roflmao.
  • I would be cautious about involving a third party. By involving a third party, you may invoke the Fair Credit Reporting Act. If it does then you would need his consent to conduct the investigation and you would be required to provide him a copy of…
  • Older worker benefit protection act (OWBPA) If it is an individual separation agreement the individual can have 21 days to consider and 7 to revoke after signing. If it is a group of individuals the time frame is 45 days with the same 7 day revoca…
  • Our corporate office in downtown chicago doesnt accept walk in applicants. They require all individuals to submit a resume and after review of the resume if there is interest, a recruiter calls them to come in for an interview. The application is co…
  • Just a hundred...??? Can I come work with you?
  • The vietnam era veterans readjustment assistance act requires federal contractors and subcontractors to list with the local State employment service all employment openings except for executive and top management jobs and jobs which the contractor e…
  • If she really is "qualified" and a good employee you should offer her the transfer. Once she accepts then you have a side discussion with her about her teeth. One of two things will happen- she will be humiliated and quit, or she will thank you …
  • Welcome to America post 9/11. I can only imagine what it will require employers to do, and emloyees to provide.
  • Hold off on the vaseline... I would argue these are two separate and destinct issues. A consultant is managed through deliverables identified in the contract. I assume that the Director of IT isnt the only individual required to review/approve th…
  • I would suggest a "for cause" drug screen be performed immediately.
  • This is all good advice. Keep it clear in the hearing that he resigned on multiple occasions, and the company finally accepted the resignation. I would even say in my opening and closing statements that he caused his separation by repeately verbal…
  • It is a scheduled holiday for us as well.
  • The witness line is on the agreement for a reason. I wouldn't disregard it because you feel uncomfortable about the situation or that you feel you are placing a burdon on the separated employee. You have an obligation to your company as the individ…
  • We require that the employee get it notarized. I would not accept the document as provided. I would call the person back and give them three options, re-sign in front of a witness and get a signature, have it notarized, or leave it as is and forfe…
  • Where's the fun in that?
  • While I agree that it is important to educate employes on the rising cost of health care, I dont think this is the proper way to do it. In fact, it is a perfect example of how HR looses credibility in an organization. Any organization that can aff…
  • It wasn't meant as a characterization of all non-exempts. Obviously I wasnt clear. It was a reflection of my experiences when we rolled this type of program out at our company and the impact it had on our non-exempts. As I mentioned, he should ca…
  • Like you we have found our fringe benefits increasing the past several years. It reached 40% this year. We just completed a similar excercise and called it a "total rewards statement" We did it in-house using PeopleSoft and our technical folks. …
  • Agree with the above... In order for it to be enforceable, you need to give them something in return. (lawyers call it consideration) It doesn't need to be called severance it could just be 2 months pay or 6 months pay, whatever... Get more than a …
  • We currently require 45 wpm for a secretary, and 6,000 kpm for our data entry folks. I hate to say it, but finding secretaries with good experience that can type 45 wpm is difficult in our market.
