• A certain amount of disaster preparedness is important. But when you look at what constitutes many of the mandated BCPs, it's a serious case of overkill. Example: Our federally-approved database of employee "non-work" skills that could potentiall…

• I hate you. Seriously, our BCP has gobbled up thousands of man-hours, and the bottom line is this - it will hardly matter at all. If the 'big one' comes, we will do what feels right at that time. We'll do it with the employees we have avai…

• I had two applicants last year from Hawaii. I understand in some circles they would be considered foreigners.

• We have such a law. Before the law was enacted, I was pretty up front with the notion that I give preference to non-smoking applicants. But now, I would never dream of being so up front about it.

• And by 'love it' I mean 'want to commit murder'... But I think most of you knew that.

• I love it when the employee checks the box indicating they disagree with the warning, but refuses to provide any explanation.

  in Warning Report Forms Comment by ACU Frank January 2010
• Actually, I like what you already have better. The goal is to get it signed with at least some acknowledgment that they know what it is. The less there is to intimidate them or make them feel like it's a trick, the better. Years ago, I had an em…

  in Warning Report Forms Comment by ACU Frank January 2010
• I've talked about developing a policy, but no one else seems to really care about it. I'm the only one with any interest in using social media for work purposes (including our marketing manager), and our internet is already pretty well locked down f…

• Our exempt employees follow the same timeclock rules as our non-exempt.

• Remember - you can discriminate against the young. In this case, the prohibition is not due to discrimination issues, but rather a desire by the SSA to keep Medicare secondary whenever possible.

• My otherwise wonderful collection of "50 Employment Laws In 50 States" includes [I]some[/I] information on posting languages, but not much. (Sounds like 51 Employment Laws in 50 States may be in order.) It also provides linkage to state-by-state d…

• I've not had to deal with domestic partner coverage... I guess I didn't realize there were any tax implications.

  in Domestic Partners and Health Insurance Comment by ACU Frank January 2010
• In 2008 I recommended (and our president approved) the development of such a program. I wrote the objective, and it was assigned to two of our VPs to develop. 18 months later, I'm still waiting. *sigh* Edited to include the objective itself: [FO…

• Sounds fishy. Or Californian. [quote=Irie;718656]Our President had a labor law publication that indicated the EEO poster must be posted in Spanish if you have 15 or more Spanish speaking employees. I already had the FMLA poster and the E-Verify po…

• The real culprit in California is their referendum system of government. It validates our Founding Fathers' fear of 'true' democracy.
