  • I agree with Elizabeth. I am an HR Manager for a manufacturing company, with about 75 hourly employees, punching a timeclock. We have a similar policy that states the employees are responsible for informing their manager of any issues with the tim…
  • Here is a quick question regarding choice of the institution. We made DD mandatory also. We let employees choose thier institution. Those that did not currently have an account were given the choice to use a bank that we had an employee benefit …
  • I am in the same boat personally. My husbands insurance would be cheaper covering both of us, than by myself at my employer. But, my husbands insurance mandates that if I have insurance available, I must take mine before his. You might try that ap…
  • Thank you for the clarification. The burden on the company is something I was having trouble determining. And just to clarify my original points. If it should come to it, I would not offer a job with less money and "less" flexibility. I would tr…
  • Judy-I hope you are enjoying your new HR responsibilities! I think you will find that there is no good time or day to term. I have tried them all and have found that it is best to term as soon as you have made the decision. Believe it or not, I h…

  • I too have an employee on intermittent FMLA for care of her sons asthma. We also operate under a point system for attendance, and the ee is at 9.00 points in a 10.00 point system. Any points that the ee has received have been because she called in…
  • Thank you for the response. I knew that I could ask for recertification, but for some reason I thought that there were restrictions as to how often you could request. The only paid leave our company offers is Vacation, so the employee is typically…
  • Definitely add to your accident policy that all accidents must be reported immediately. Also, be sure to include disciplinary actions if the employee was operating under unsafe work practices (lifted a guard on a machine when they shouldn't have). …
  • This is the wording used for my organizations 90 Day Probationary Period. During the first 90 days of employment (excluding periods of absence exceeding five (5) working days), the Company will evaluate the performance of the new employee. After 6…
  • I agree with Stilldazed, that the supposed pill popping might not be the first place to start. We have had two individuals that came back after a medical procedure and were on some very heavy medications. We noticed some odd behavior and more than…
  • Does anyone know the state law in Ohio for copies of personnel files and how long to keep them. I have given a few termed employees copies of thier personnel files. Mostly just reviews and disciplinary actions. Hope I am right on this. HRVolley
  • I would greatly apprciate the use of this spreadsheet. [email]eyordy@fuse.net[/email] Thanks!!
  • >I can send you a copy of ours, if you send your >email address to [email]hrcontact@laars.com[/email]. I would also love to see a copy of your plan. I am the HR Coordinator for a small company and have been asked by a large customer to…
  • After reading all of the posts, I discussed the issue with his manager. I emphasized that this is not going to change overnight, and that this is how he has been communicating his whole life. The manager then sat down with the newly promoted employ…
  • My company uses a point system for attendance. But similar to JDN we have a 10 category performance appraisal, and attendance is one of the categories. I tell my managers to take into account an employees attendance when calculating the other 9 ca…

  • HRCalico, I just have no time for paperwork! I do all interviewing, hiring, most firings, discipline, benefit coordination, you name it. I know that most of us are in the same boat, and I was just wondering who we can delegate to. I don't have en…
  • I am the only HR Employee at a location of 75, and I am trying to figure out how to delegate tasks/issues since most of my work is confidential in nature. (salaries, discipline, etc.) Any suggestions? HRVolley
  • >> We also run a check on-line for >W/C issues for new employees. PORK I am assuming you are referring to Worker's Comp. Where/How do you run an online check for W/C issues. I thought only the company with whom the accident occu…
  • My company employs about 200, and we are currently using ADP for Payroll. We also do not use their HR program as it is too expensive. I have attended many of ADP's trainings, (they do try their best to educate their customer), but I am still unable…
  • I also work for a manufacturing facility, and I also use paper applications for employment. Our application asks, "have you ever been convicted of or pled guilty to a felony or misdemeanor other than a minor traffic violation?" If this type of que…
  • > Is the >route your employee works considered better than >others in anyway?. That is an excellent question, and yes our couriers do have routes that they prefer, to others. And, when I expressed my thoughts that she should be rem…
  • We have already removed our employee from the delivery route to this customer, and have actually stopped deliveries to them all together, until this issue is resolved. So far, the customer has been apologetic and concerned for the welfare of our e…
  • I was finally able to get a statement from our employee. Apparently, the offender first asked her for her phone number about two weeks ago. She stated that she does not give out her phone number, and since then he has been "flicking her" on whatev…
  • Thanks for all of the advice. Our customer is also a large organization that I would hope has strict policies as well. The Transportation Mgr. has arranged for another courier to deliver to this customer until this situation has been resolved.…
