Thanks much! I didn't realize how much I utilized it until it wasn't there anymore! Pattie

I don't mind going on mini-vacations -- I'd just like to remember them!
-
Whatever you did took care of the problem - thanks! I really enjoy the daily digest!

Nae, They're absolutely beautiful! How is Mom doing?

I don't know if you'd call it "really cool", but ours is at the end of the month, heading into July 4th. We're starting off with the weekend at the racetrack -- NASCAR -- here in NH. We'll be staying at the track in a motor home (Fri-Mon). From t…

Thanks for the laugh -- it wasn't the ending I was expecting!

HS, thanks for the laugh -- I certainly needed it after the last few weeks I've had!

I guess I'm looking for a bit more information. Please clarify -- you were hired, but no one told you what your position was? Although you report directly to the president (which is usually a plus in determining pay, etc), did he hire you as his "…

Ki, I feel your frustration. Unfortunately, it's difficult to MAKE employees report anything that occurs outside the workplace; and I'm not aware of a law that requires them to do so. We have policies in place to report change in marital status, a…

"I love my job" truly seems to be HR's mantra! I used to send out letters -- very time consuming and frustrating, especially when they would come back as undeliverable! I've "downsized" to a simple postcard that states: "Thank you for the interes…

I would also look at what your State regs require. Our State's Wage & Hour are much more stringent regarding exempt / non-exempt, as well for other items such as corrections to a time sheet -- it MUST ALWAYS be initialled by the EE prior to bei…

Also - if anyone requested previously and didn't get it -- let me know. Feel free to contact me directly at [email]pkallander@unionleader.com[/email].

Hi All! Just got back "on line" with the Forum. It's been a whirlwind here -- just went through voluntary separation over the last few weeks. I'll fax out the checklist today to new requests & Lisa will re-send yours. Have a great day and en…

Just to update -- I just saw that last five requests for the list, so I'll fax to everyone today. Sorry for the delay! Have a great day!

"rcarter" - could you post your fax number - I'd be happy to send it off to you! Thanks!
-
Hi Plynnl! Just tried to fax to you but I get a recording it's not a valid number? Do you have another fax number or did a number get transposed? Thanks!

I have an "Exemption Checklist" which was provided by an employment law attorney to the HR community here in NH. It's certainly taken a lot of the guess work out of the process. If you're interested I'd be happy to fax it to you - just let me know…

We have always had the language written for number of hours per week -- in our case 35/wk, which is FT for us. It's never had language stating so many weeks per year. The majority of our EE's are long term and have 5-6 weeks vacation as well. Per…

Hi Nae, I think you're mis-reading 503. The Qualifying Person Test is used to determine who you may USE pre-tax dependent care dollars for -- so, if your spouse were not able to care for themselves under the guidelines of 503, then you would legall…

Hi Linda, I feel your "pain". We, too, are a union facility. If I were in your situation, the first thing I would ask is "What was the intent of the new language in the contract?" Was the intent to prevent restricted employees from permanently bu…

At first "blush" -- the red flag goes up on this one for me. I would certainly be talking with my attorney, especially when you can't even tie the layoff to any performance issues.
-
Yes, I have certainly documented many things. Let me know your email address and I'll get back to you. Thanks for the offer of venting!

Paul, we have had a change in leadership. A new CFO was brought in 3 years ago who was soon promoted to VP, and the CEO is allowing this person to run it all, even those areas they know nothing about. I understand the need to keep reigns in on fin…

I find this topic of particular interest because overall morale at our company has gone down the drain. Over the years we've gone from a relatively caring company to one that only cares about the bottom line. While the bottom line is important, th…

I agree with your argument that everything in a binder with a simple divider is not keeping anything separate, especially if they're keeping medical information in the binders as well. My understanding of HIPAA is that medical information is only t…

We also test for typing & spelling; however, we test for spreadsheet expertise and use of an adding machine, depending on the department. I work with the department manager to give me a replica of a spreadsheet they utilize in the department so…

Picking the counselor would really depend on what the CBA has for language -- some simply do not allow it; however, you have every right to have the individual sign an authorization for the counselor to provide you with timely updates -- but again, …

Our state also required a signature as authorization for any payroll deductions - regardless of what they are for. One caveat: if your plan would allow you to stop benefits if someone didn't go through the open enrollment process, I would make dar…

Did you have a note from a doctor keeping this employee out of work to begin with? If so, then that is the doctor who should be providing the RTW authorization and that is the policy we follow.
