Not sure that I understand what you're looking for. We just created a hiring process document that will go in our newly created Supervisor's Guide. It's not a policy, per se, but gives guidance on our process flow and includes tips for questions tha…

The poster's not there today and wasn't there yesterday afternoon. So I guess we'll just check back on 3/10, as instructed by the DOL.

Oh no .. there's no code! I'm just jealous that you're that sophisticated with your posting techniques! I feel pretty thrilled when I'm able to use the emotion icons, but you've moved us to a new level!xclap

Sorry for the hijack, but how come the font color for your posts is red?x:-/

Lynne, I'd like to humbly suggest that the form is simply the output from the larger, more complex program - your performance management program. We underwent a complete revision in our performance management program to better align it with corporat…

So, are you the real Parabeagle, come back to life under a new moniker?x:-/ Or are you the president of the Parabeagle fan club, whose first guiding principle is "No one else shall assume the name of Parabeagle, but Parabeagle himself!"/:) Ok, I …

I dunno, parabeaglex2 (what kind of moniker is that!?), what would you say? I wouldn't expect problems and possibly create problems by telling more than you should. I've filled positions that were vacated as the result of discharging the employee wh…

Yes, sounds like the employees working on that program needed a break but were unwilling to sever the relationship on their. On the bright side, at least they are apparently looking at their layoffs as an opportunity to move on to something new and …

It can be typical for an employer who has shown by its actions throughout the years as an uncaring one. I worked for a large mfg company that was bought out by Tyco and went through almost weekly layoffs. Employees tended to be mostly relieved to be…

Ok - $21.1 mm is an outrageous amount, but people at the top of large companies are not in it just for the money. They seem to need the power, authority, perks that go with being the CEO of a large employer and they rarely sit back and rest on their…

Can you also help explain the role of project manager vs the VP - are they one and the same person? If not, it sounds like project manager may not know the background of employees selected (if he/she doesn't actually supervise the person). Does VP h…

Yes, of course we do get releases for all severances paid. The discretion is not with RIF's - we tend to give those the standard amount regardless - but is with other kinds of terminations. For example, an employee who is terminated due to performan…

We just converted our severance pay practice into an ERISA plan based on recommendation by our employment attorney. Our severance pay policy gives us the discretion to award severance to other terminations (outside of RIF's) and gives us discretion …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-12-04 AT 12:18PM (CST)[/font][br][br]A couple of opinions/comments on your two posts: 1. In my experience, asking someone to come in from the "side" is never effective at delivering a corporate or dep…

Perhaps you're looking for a whistleblower protection policy? We added a statement to one of our policies (ethics) to ensure protection for whistleblowers (per SOX). It is as follows (and modified from the sample verbiage I found on a SOX website si…

I agree with ritaanz. I can't ever imagine any MIS or IT person picking up any diskette on anyone's desk and assuming it's ok for them to use. WRONG! It could be confidential information that the MIS/IT person had no right to see! Tell the MIS/IT pe…
-
I agree completely with Marc and that was my thought as I read your post. There's not enough info to really provide constructive input at this point, imho. Use this as an opportunity to learn more about what initiated the request. You also don't ind…

Exactly! What Don said in both of his posts!xclap

I don't understand, why would new employees within their first three months receive more performance feedback than all the current, regular employees? We don't use the term "probationary period" at all. In our benefits' SPD's we refer to waiting pe…

Denise - I'll email you what we use, but also will tell you it's the exact same form as all employees use - HR, Finance, IS, Legal, AS, etc. The first part captures performance objectives and the target performance levels and the results on those o…

I agree with Crout. It looks and smells like retaliation, especially since you can't show you conducted a thorough, fair, impartial investigation as to the cause of the injury. In fact, she claims it was her ankle giving out, which could be true! If…

I don't see an issue. The same could be said of employees within HR department whose mgr must also discipline them. I can't imagine that you'd do anything different as HR Director than you would as Manager of that department as far as doing the righ…

(hmm, I already typed a reply to this but as I was submitting it, the server lost the connection to the site or some weird thing? so the page took me back to the main lobby. Ok, I'll try again) I agree with others who have said if you don't have an…

Whoever slapped your hand is wrong! If the IRS considered nothing during the year as qualifying life status changes then there wouldn't be a term "qualifying life status events and changes"! Here is info from IRS on what constitutes life status eve…

Our evaluations are on a calendar-year basis, which makes it easier because they all must be completed at the same time. While they grumble a bit, they do like setting aside a block of time and completing them all at once rather than throughout the …

We are a small employer and therefore don't have many employees in each job classification. Since you have many nurses, you certainly can develop a policy (and some employers have) that gives credit to prior years of service related to the position …

We have negotiated higher vacation benefit levels for new hires in hard-to-fill jobs or management positions. We recognize that we want to entice employees who may be in the middle of their careers and don't want to start over with zero vacation bal…

One thought, you might want to title it as "Explanation of Exempt Status", as opposed to benefits of being exempt. I don't know why, but it struck me as a something that could create problems. I would approach it as what it means to be non-exempt an…

Randy - I suggest you search this site and if you're a member of SHRM that you search their site because both sites have lots of good sample descriptions available that can give you a big-time start to your project!th-up
