According to the USCIS instructions for employers, an employer must "Ensure that the employee completes Section 1 of Form I-9 by his or her first day of work for pay.Employees may complete Section 1 of Form I-9 at any time between acceptance of a jo…

The company feels that the retirement of an employee should be an occasion for celebration and for recognition of the individual's contributions to the organization. The company will plan and pay for a dinner or similar gathering for the retiree, h…

Hi cappy - could I ask you to send me one as well? Many thanks! Jake91701@yahoo.com

Hi Heather: Could I please have a copy as well? Thanks so much! Jake91701@yahoo.com

The salary can be reduced if the position still meets all the conditions for the particular exemption, including the minimum weekly salary of $455.The FLSA allows reductions in employees’ salaries as long as the reductions are not designed to circum…

What state are you in? Many times, state law governs this type of issue.

First, document the fact that he quit, in writing, NOW (assuming that you want a quit rather than a termination). Have the person(s) that he made any statement to re: quitting sign a statement about what he said. For the pay issue, under Texas law…

You could try the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) for background info on radiation. http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/radiation.html But - I think the "acceptable" levels depend on whether the radiation is ionizing or nonionizing. For info on both, s…

Sorry - also forgot to say that there does notseem to be any limitation on the type of employer who can request the information (but there are special requirements for the employer types that you mentioned).

Hi Erin: My sources say that in Vermont, the state Criminal Information Center of the Department of Public Safety will provide employers with a Vermont criminal conviction record provided the employer has complied with the following requirements (VT…

Geez, am I out of it!? Since when did "synching an iPod" become an employment benefit? (and 3 years become too old for a laptop). I would be happy with flexible hours, good health insurance and and a diverse 401k portfolio. But, I am just a Boomer, …

If you look carefully at the resignation article, it seems to imply that a very carefully worded resignation/separation letter, explicitly stating that the employee does not intend on returning and that USERRA would otherwise give him the right to r…

You are right -- a "resignation" generally means nothing for an employee who is qualified for protection under USERRA. So long as the employer is on notice that the employeee is leaving his/her position for qualified service, the employee has the ri…

I would definitely still do reviews (self and employer created) -- I think it is critical to still give performance feedback, regardless of the $$. If it were me, and I knew that the organization could not financially manage raises and stay afloat, …

Presumably, your organization has to have a pay and hiring freeze out of financial necessity. If this is the case, hopefully this is not a secret, and employees are aware of the financial situation of the company. If so, the employees may be disappo…

Since we are on the BLR site - I know they have a few (http://www.blr.com/product.cfm/product/27501100/funcode/WI05.) You might also want to check out the we-based training at: http://www.blr.com/product.cfm/product/30505700/funcode/WI05.

We have a visiting nurse service do this, is free to employees, and about 40-50 percent of the employees take advantage.

What state are you in? Many times, state law governs this type of issue.If not, I agree that it would be difficult to address this in the absence of a clearly worded policy. Sounds like you may need to revamp your accrual/use policy so that you can …

I am partial to the community volunteer projects, gift holiday drives and troop donations that everyone can participate in. It is fun to see what everyone can do together and gives everyone a shared sense of purpose.

I would add that if your top candidate does not possess 2 of the main required job elements/skills, then maybe you should revise the job description. Perhaps willingness to drive and access to a car within X time frame? The reason I suggest this is…

Hi GoPats: You can ask for recertification if the employee's leave pattern is suspicious. FMLA allows for recert every 30 days, but if the employer has reason to believe that the employee is abusing leave, then a recert request can occur less than e…

Are you looking for a particualr industry, or just executive level? I can think of some individuals that specialize, let me know and maybe I can send you some referrals.

How about messy/smelly work spaces? Compulsive, repetitive bodily noises (ie clearing throat, nose blowing, sighing loudly)? Negative gossip and unwarranted criticism? Just to name a few.

Hi Barbara: You could program an Excel sheet to calculate and track sick leave by applying the 1 and 1/2 hours every PP, track deductions and add EE after 90 days.

I agree with Blakefan - the punishment should not be termination . . . but should be enough to deter employees from chasing suspected thieves. It is scary to think that employees would endanger themselves for merchandise. As employers we should also…

I don't have any training ideas, but how aoubt a policy that personnel matters are only discussed with the employee and necessary personnel within the organization. Any parent who tries to intervene can just be quoted the policy and asked not to int…

Thanks for your help! I am taking a close look at our policies to make sure we are clear on work-time activity.

Under OFCCP's “compliance coordination” program for contractors that do choose to follow the new comp self evaluation guidelines, OFCCP will forego independent review of a contractor's raw compensation data and instead evaluate the adequacy of the c…

If you have an EAP, check with them to see if they offer any stress management programs, or depending on the source of the stress, conflict management training could also help your employees. Many times, just understanding what stress is, where it i…
