  • I don't think that would be something you could get away with.  What I think you need to do is have a reimbursement policy and hold people accountable for following it.  Our expense reports are due the first day of the month following the expense.  …
  • In our company it depends on which "Executive".  Higher ranks get 12 months lower between 6 and 9 months.
  • You won't be able to get actual birth certificates unless you require your employees to provide a certified copy.  You can get birth records from background checks from many area on the internet a simple search will give you lots of options.  One th…
  • I think that adding personal days to the existing PTO is the way to go.  Just add it into your existing policy.  One of the problems of an informal policy is it can be easy to abuse and if there is no tracking system  you open yourself up to accusat…
  • Our policy states that if an Employee calls out sick the day before or after a Holiday they must bring in a Doctors note in order to get paid for the Holiday.  There is an exception for extreme emergencies.  We have not had one incident of the "Labo…
  • Our Company is on a flex schedule.  What we have found is that the department managers are the ones that have to be on top of the schedules.  We have somewhat of a 2 part benefit.  We work 9 hour days with a 1/2 hour lunch Monday through Thursday an…
  • We have had a Flextime program for a few years now.  Most positions can work anywhere between the hours of 5:30am to 6pm as long as there is always at least one person from each department in the office during our regular office hours.  It is the de…
  • Well I think it depends on the amount of time that is being wasted.  If its 5 mins of chat that relaxes everyone and when done they return to work and are productive and everything is fine, sometimes it doesn't hurt to let that go.  However, if it's…

  • Since its legal to have a Use it or Lose it Policy any variation that your company would like to put into effect would most likely be legal.  We recently changed our P.T.O. policy to a cash out of 100% at their regular base pay rate with no carryove…
  • I also agree with everyone else and have had to handle a couple complaints.  Just wanted to put a few thoughts out there.  In addition to all the suggestions there are a couple things that I believe are very important.  Having a person in the room w…
  • I agree with Bkate and NYGiants.  Bonuses and nonmonetary benefits are a great way to compensate employees who enjoy thier current positions but have topped out of the salary range.  One thing to consider though is the percentage of your employees t…
  • These type of employees who have negative attitudes and complain alot are what we term "Ninjas".  Thier attitudes effect those around them causing others to pick up some of the negative actions or words.  Most of the time they are the ones that talk…
  • I totally disagree with hserv.  In a perfect world where our children and parents and grandparents all had people to take care of them outside of the employee, principals, teachers, pharmicists, laywers etc. all worked around our schedules and we al…
  • It has been my experience that if a Doctor restricts a pregnant woman (or anyone else for that matter for a short period of time) from certain activities that the Employer should try to make every accomodation possible.  In your case if travel is a …
  • In my experience we have always had a policy regarding piercings and tattoos.  Tattoos had to be covered and piercings were limited to one earing in each ear for women.  Tongues pierces had to be removed at the start of the work hours of that employ…
  • I personally rely on at least 3 sources at the national and local level to price the salary ranges of each position.   I also take into consideration a few other factors.  I check with the local collages to see how many will graduate in the particul…
  • We pay our Employess thier regular rate for up to 21 days.  After 21 days they may use any accrued P.T.O. that they have available to them.  We have 28 Employees and are in the Architecture/Engineering industry.
