  • I feel like I recently read about B, but I am not sure. I am going to go with A being false.
  • Congrats on the new man...I actually just joined eharmony.com yesterday. I have recently moved to Portland Maine from Boston and am not having much luck meeting people here yet. Plus with my sister getting married this past weekend it made me real…
  • Where outside of Binghamton? I went to college in Oneonta (hartwick) and never in my 4 years there did I hear about Speadies... I am intrigued...
  • Saratoga Springs, NY. 3 hours from Boston, 3 hours from NYC, 1 hour to the Adirondack Moutains and great skiing. In the summertime the horserace track is open and there is something going on every night, whether it is an outdoor festival, a rock c…
  • Well we are located in Maine, so with the exception of a few months a year it is pretty cold with bad weather! Therefor most of the ee's with WC issues are slipping on ice right outside the office when they go out for a smoke break. We try and kee…
  • We are a direct marketing company with a large call center. The majority of the slip falls are when people are going outside to smoke ciggeretts. We don't really have many safety inspections since employees here are all working at a desk, at my pr…
  • If I were in that situation I would sit all 4 of the AAs and let them know that they need to come up with a solution to their issues that they have. Let them know that it has been brought to the CEOs attention and if they are unable to put their di…

  • Don, I agree with you. The whole point of policies is so that every employee (including those with many years of service) are aware of what is and is not acceptable in the workplace. Why even bother having an employee handbook if you aren't going …
  • Wow when I posted this question I had no idea it was going to result in all of this! Just to clarify I am looking for a blanket policy that applys to everyone, not taking seniority in to factor. Thanks for all of the input, hopefully we will be ab…

  • My current and former company offer Short Term Disability for maternity leave for 12 weeks, paying the 66.67% of the employees salary (same as what we pay out for any other disability). We included a provision in our STD policy that states that mat…
  • We have 250 employees, 100 of which are in that department. We can not afford to offer HIV tests for all employees, nor do we want to send that message. Don, the activities are obviously not taking place at the workplace, however they are occuri…
  • We currently use Access but want to upgrade from it. WE are looking for something that can be fully integrated with our payroll system. HR also tends to be last on the list for help from IT when it comes to our databases...sales is always the numb…
  • I have only ever done credit checks on our Accouting/Finance personnel. I don't think it seems to make sense to check all employees, someone can have a credit problem but that doesn't make them a bad employee. I am very suprised that the insurance…
