  • Extremely busy. My hubby and I got there at 7am and was finally walking out at 8:35am. That was the longest I ever waited. When we got there at 7am there was probably about 100 people in line. Amazing.
  • WE are a manufacturing facility w/ about 150 employees at our location. We currently offer supplemental benefits (STD, LTD and Life) to all of our employees. These are 100% employees paid but are offered to them at group rates. The majority of ou…
  • For our health care FSA max is $3000 per year. We do use the debit card and found them to be much easier to use. No waiting on reimbursement, sending in claim forms, etc.

  • Just out of curiosity - did you write these employees up for horseplay when they should've been working?
  • Thanks all for the input. The employee was back at work today so he didn't qualify for FMLA. The supervisor now tells me that he did call in on Tuesday and said he probably wouldn't come in on Wednesday but probably to me doesn't tell me he isn't …
  • That's what I thought but needed to make sure. Thanks!
  • This might help you. The SC Legislature has enacted a law which provides that a "handbook, policy, procedure, or other document issued by an employer or its agent after June 30, 2004, shall not create an express or implied contract of employment if …
  • He said yes he was drinking yesterday but he hadn't been today and that was why he smelled the way he did. He said he understood me when I told him this was an issue with smelling like alcohol while he was at work and he also stated that he unders…

  • I talked to him and he does smell like alchohol but he doesn't have any other symptoms, i.e. slurring of words, no red eyes, inablity to walk normally, asked his supervisor about his work perf and he said he was fine. I ended up talking to him and …

  • Well I came into work today and he didn't park there so maybe the little talk helped. If he continues to do it I'll write him up and then if continues, I'm towing his car. Thanks for all your help.
  • I am assuming you work in the staffing industry since you state "your client doesn't want to pay for failed drug screens". When I worked in the staffing industry, we used to make the potential employee pay up front either in cash or money order for…
  • We use Clarence M. Kelly & Associates. [url]www.cmka.com[/url] ithink it's $10 for driver's license check.
  • We are observing this holiday on Friday, Dec 31st.
  • Yes, I am certain the applications were for employment. It was the State of SC apps and had her name and the positions she was applying for. My concern w/ the lunch is that she is an hourly employee and lunches should only be an hour unless approv…
  • Thanks. I had them both sit down w/ me present and discuss what happened. The ops mgr stated he was frustrated bc/ she wasn't giving him an answer and couldn't understand the question he was posing. He said he didn't mean to appear abusive in any…
  • Thanks. I thought it might be. Thanks.

  • Thanks all. We do background checks on everyone so we are not in danger of being discriminatory. I called and left a message for him stating to contact the SS Administration as there seems to be a problem and then to contact me after the problem ha…
  • We had an Union vote in May of 2003 and thank goodness we won. Some of our employees who were very anti-union let their managers know what was going on and we also found some union materials hanging from our Christmas tree. We had a labor lawyer a…
  • We tell them that it is mandatory and it isn't an option. OT was a part of the job when they came aboard and this isn't anything new to them. We tell them we understand if they had plans but unfortunately we need them to work. If they're not ther…
  • Thanks for the advice. I was thinking she's a nut case as well. I looked through my resume batches and didn't see her name at all.
  • I have had this happened a couple of times. Most of the time w/ no notice. Police came during the middle of the day and stated they had an arrest warrant for the employee. To cause less disruption, I told the manager I needed to see the employee …
  • We don't have maternity leave pay. If they have elected STD then they would get that benefit. Our STD pays up to 26 weeks.
  • We do 2 ten minute breaks. One at 10am and one at 2:30am. Both are paid. Lunch is from 12p-12:30p. Must clock out and isn't paid.
  • We also have a blood pressure cuff at work. Our Corporate Safety Director if asked will take employees blood pressure and if it is high, encourages them to see their physicians. We haven't had a prob with it and most employees like the fact they ca…
  • If an employee asks for a copy of their performance evaluation, we always give them one. Some want them some don't.
  • Corporate wide we have @ 1000 employees but at my location we have approx 125. We receive the day after Thanksgiving off, as well as if a holiday falls on Saturday we receive Friday off and if it falls on a Sunday, we receive the Monday off. All ar…
  • Linda - I know how you feel. I've been there. It doesn't give you much initiative to want to go to work. If this is the second time in 2 years, you will probably have some quitting this time. I know I lasted 6 months and then told my employer th…
