How are you even finding out this information? You shouldn't be asking them if they take any prescribed medication.You should be drug screening for certain things and if it comes back positive then the doctor can request a list of prescriptions from…

We send out rejection letters if we KNOW we aren't going to hire them - otherwise they are constantly calling us and driving us insane....... Seriously, if I was a weaker person it would drive me to drink..... I get the phone calls from people who s…

Example: Employee makes $10/hour and works 40 hours per week. So their weekly pay is $400. Multiply $400 by 52 and divide by 12 (long way of doing it). Their monthly pay would be $1733.33. Or, you can take $400 multiplied by 4.33333 and get the sam…

We have ours both online and in hard copy. When I do a new hire orientation I personally review everything in the handbook with the new hire (by order of our new VP) and then allow them time to ask any questions or ask for clarification on any of th…

We use the accrual PTO system as well and it is only available to full time eligible employees. It is part of our company policy and is included in all offers of employment made. We do not offer PTO to part time or seasonal employees. It is a full t…

I agree with you on that. But I highly doubt our manager requested a doctor's note from this girl because she wanted to ensure the safety of her other employees - therein lies the problem. And this is just the tip of the iceberg apparently. There ar…

Ack - forgot to mention that she filed a discrimination complaint since the issue has arisen due to the rules being different for the manager's son.......

Personally, we do not allow any lunch to be eaten at anyone's desk here. We are trying to cut down on overtime and we have rewritten our lunch and break policies to specifically address people who are "working through lunch" by eating at their desks…

Maybe we should start taking Tylenol now in preparation for January....... We have a couple of chronic FMLA and/or ADA people who have been following the changes closely. They aren't in HR, but they know enough about the issues to manipulate them...…

Did you guys see the new article on CNN today? It released the results of a survey regarding PCP's and how they are reducing in numbers dramatically. I gotta tell you, being on the other side of the Health Care issue and having hands on regarding ou…

*sigh* Don't you just love the new ADA regulations..........They were supposed to make things "easier" weren't they???? TSScott: I would highly recommend you start out by speaking to your HR Director. It's always a good starting point. Also - you…

Our Corporate Office is a "holding company" for three subsiduary companies that we have common ownership in. We keep the paperwork completely separate, have separate EIN's and we require new I-9's. If we have an employee who works solely for Subsidi…

Awesome! Thanks for the thorough response. I finally talked to our rep and he thinks we need to set them up under a separate plan (duh). There WILL be common ownership and we are basically going to be the holding company. However, I don't want to ad…

I think you are completely missing the point that we are all trying to get through to you. It is a bad idea to include those questions on an employment application. Let me repeat: It is a BAD idea to include those questions on an employment applicat…

No, you cannot ask them anything you want. The EEOC would be ALL over you if someone felt you did not hire them because you knew their age, gender, etc. We totally redid our employment applications to remove those questions along with their social s…

No, you can't. Consider having an education section and having them list how many years they attended and if they received their diploma. This way they can also list if they received their education of have an actual degree in something from a colle…

We have a similar situation. Our Executive Assistant never clocks in and out for her personal lunch breaks. Our company policy states that she has to work 40 hours a week or use PTO time to make up for hours short of 40. We use Time Clock Manager fo…

I have been trying to get our 401K company out to do something like that, but they really aren't being very cooperative. In the end I just put a note in our weekly newsletter with the online link and phone number for Principal's website and customer…

Ha ha ha! Great example......Our VP actually used a similar one yesterday in reviewing our policy on work comp - only his included paint ball guns.....

Been there and done that and it is NO fun.........We are in Kansas and last December we had an employee slip and fall on the ice on the way to her car after her shift. She broke her elbow in 2 places, required surgery and extensive physical therapy.…

I like the "Star Bucks".............ours are called "Golden Nuggets" [:D]

What do you mean by the same birth? And does your company do FMLA on a rolling 12-month period because that can make a difference on when they are eligible for more FMLA? Federal FMLA allows eligible employees to take up to 12 workweeks of leave dur…

I would definitely make sure that no retalitory action is taken (either perceived or otherwise) against the AA who came to you stating it made her uncomfortable. And I would put a leash on your Sr. Manager. I understand getting upset and wanting to …

We condense down to one file after the employee has been terminated for a certain amount of time (i.e. 6 months). Until then it is easier to move their file to the terminated employees cabinet (locked, of course) so that the information is easily ac…

We allow employees to "complain" on a confidential website handled by a 3rd party servicer who then send the reports to our attorney who then forwards it on to us. But we have the same problem you do. When do you put a stop to the "petty" complaints…

Another really good - and simple - profile assessment is the DiSC profile. Short and to the point, but with accurate depictions of where their strengths and weaknesses are. We pay a LOT of money for each profile assessment taken online, but we pay n…

We use www.profilesontheweb.com at our company and have been very happy with it. It gives us a fairly accurate insight into a person's personality, strengths and weaknesses. I would recommend it to any company.
