I sludged my way through a minor in econ in college and that is without a doubt one of the funniest things I've ever heard!

I was hoping you'd weigh in, Marc - you seem to know a little about this. They actually sign a separate form regarding their tools. The wage freeze was discussed with him, but I have wanted to wait to put it in writing until I did a little more in…

Not sure what parallels I can draw for you, but we have engineers (with a degree) that are salaried, and they work with what we call Product Development Technicians (no degree, typically production people who have shown initiative or a new person th…

Gosh, marc, what's the rest of your title - aren't you something financial, too? I didn't know you guys had such hearts. Must be the HR-ness rubbing off on you. :>)

We also have an automatic 1/2 hour deduction for lunch. I make a point of it in the interview, and employees will indicate (with supervisor initials) on their timecard if they do not take a lunch. Most of my salaried employees do not punch out for…

To put a new twist on this thread, what about paying employees on the same day? We have eight locations across the state, and it can take up to five days for something to go through the mail. As long as we send payroll checks on Tuesday, does it m…

What if we're a small private non-profit that can't afford to do direct deposit? Do our employees still have to receive checks on the same day?

I don't know how laws vary from state to state, but from what I know, you MUST have something signed by the employee in order to deduct anything not mandated from their paycheck. I am planning to propose to my upper management that we make a waiver…

I forgot to mention that we are NOT covered by FMLA. Thanks, though.

We had been operating under the policy that if employees disposed of their recepticles directly in the outside dumpster and there weren't any spills, it was more or less OK. However, our president thought it had been banned all along; therefore, we…

Not only do we operate in a small town, but our plant is like a small town unto itself. My guess is stronger supervision - if they're standing around gossiping, bust 'em back to work, note it on the evals of chronic gossipers, and yes, keep them bu…

We just implemented a similar policy. Do you allow exceptions if employees can produce a doctor's note or such?

Paid holiday for us. We follow the schedule of if a holiday falls on a Saturday, we "celebrate" it on the preceeding Friday, if it falls on a Sunday, we celebrate it on the following Monday. It gives certain employees more time to ride their bikes…

1) My boss abhors having scores on evaluations for this very reason. I tried to talk him into one that scored and weighted the scores (i.e. if you were a 5 answering the phone but it wasn't an important part of your job, it wasn't worth as much as …

I try to make a point to ask the employee what action they would like me to take. When a comment is made in passing like this, I might approach them later and tell them I'm concerned. Not necessarily in this situation, but I've found that sometime…

Eddice, I'd also very much appreciate a copy of your policy (308)832-2214 attn: Lenetta We're in the process of writing a policy manual - we've been using a former parent company's handbook for decades, but no one knew it. Long story short, I've …
