  • It should also be added that needless re-verification can be construed as a discriminatory practice.My suggestion is that you should review the I-9's, note those employees that have presented documents that do need re-verification, and come up with …
  • Well, unless your pockets are bottomless, you'll want to set a fair amount that you are willing to reimburse for meals.  Otherwise, your employees will be eating at Taylor's Steakhouse for lunch everyday.
  • I don't think that should be an issue, as long as she acknowledges that she received payment previously.  You should probably have her fill a form attesting to her desire to resolve the situation in this manner.  It is most likely the "cleanest" met…
  • Without attesting to the legality of the situation, that is what I would do!  We actually have as part of our FMLA package, a "Request to Use PTO for FMLA" form that must be filled out, or if the emp is unable to return this form in a timely fashio…
  • jvoight, that's very similar to how our maxed-out compensation has been structured, however I don't see us limiting employees to two years.  Some of them have no where to go as far as promotions and job change, so we can't hold that against them. 
  • We started using a "Review Pay" bonus in lieu of increase for those "maxed out" employees earlier this year-so far only one employee was affected, but we may have a couple more to contend with before years end.  No negative feedback so far!
  • We only pay for accredited institutions, and students must demonstrate a grade of satisfactory or better to receive the reimbursement.  So, any online learning is subject to these requirements.
  • Greetings!  We allow vacation to be taken in half hour increments BUT time off of 1 day or less must be requested with 48 hours notice.  Shorter notice, at the manager's discretion, will be charged as sick time (also available in half hour increment…
  • Hi! We did not have any financially-driven layoffs last year, but we did decrease raises and eliminate bonuses and as a result, had the same hesitations you are experiencing now.  We decided to pare back our party, held it in house rather than the u…
  • WOW it takes a whole year for Exempts to accrue PTO?  So sorry, but that stinks!  It seems that your management is misinterpreting the rule that states exempt employees must receive their full salary for any week in which work is performed.  It soun…
  • Our company once reduced our PTO carryover amount.  We gave the employees notice (about 6-8 weeks if I remember correctly) and encouraged those who would be immediately affected to take the appropriate amount of time, or request a payout of excess h…
  • Thank you both...I was a little hesitant to start with the providers, since I hate pushy sales calls (doesn't everybody?)  But, you're right, that is probably my best and most efficient starting point!
  • Thank you both for replying...I still haven't found anything.  There's not a lot of feedback available for these products and I am hesitant to spend that much money without knowing what I'm getting for it!  If I do find something worth while, I will…
  • I can't wait to see the answer to this one...we have the same problem!  (GROSS!)
  • I agree with PEBrown-it is up to the employer to tighten up the policy on smoke breaks.  We allow all employees 10 minutes of paid break time each day-what they do with it is up to them, although we discourage leaving the premises during this time. …
  • We have a service awards ceremony followed by the annual company barbecue.  We honor those with 5, 10, etc. anniversaries with both a jewelry gift and a monetary gift.  The gifts increase in value as the service length increases.  5 yr recipients re…
