  • I think I would backdate as well. If the leave extended beyond the twelve week deadline, I would approve an additional two week personal leave of absence. Just to be consistent. But the extended leave would CMA. Anne in Ohio
  • If the ee is exempt then s/he should be paid for a full week including the holidays. If non-exempt, then no holiday pay is necessary for the twp holidays. Anne in Ohio
  • My understanding is that exempt ees can be paid less than a full week's salary in the first and/or final weeks of employment. Dutch would be correct in paying four days during the week 1/01-1/05. Anne in Ohio
  • We generally say something like 'based on evaluative information from superviory staff regarding your performance progress and after consultation with the director, a decision has been made to terminate your employment effective 00/00/0000.' If she…
  • We don't limit reimbursement by $$ amount. Rather, undergraduates are limited to 2 classes per quarter/semester or one graduate class per quarter/semester for reimbursement. Anne in Ohio
  • Wildsporty, I agree with you all the way. Caving into this sort of behavior soon has the inmates running the asylum and the powers that be ready for one. In these cases I always remind myself - we have the RIGHT to manage our employees, not the o…
  • I heard a little cautious voice too, which I tried to suppress. Unfortunatly, I failed. I'm hearing an ADA possibility here. If the rehab is for substance abuse, he may have some protection under the law. I would want more information before I t…
  • We just rolled out a new app in January. I could have written your post, because I did the same things you did. As for the old apps, if we would consider someone in that file for employment, I would have them complete a new app because we added so…
  • This law is state-driven. I have a very nice (and very thick) publication from the Ohio Attorney General that outlines public record requirements in Ohio. It's not always clear, but it is a good place to start. For example, the definition of a 'p…
  • We include the step and in-law relationship too. Anne in Ohio

  • Pork, I read the cited sections of the FLSA and I think you've misunderstood what Kathy said. If you are normally scheduled to work at the downtown location and every once in a while you are needed to start the day at the suburban location, you do …

  • I'll step up and admit we don't. We are a tax-funded organization and are constrained from having fun at the public's expense. Anne in Ohio
  • I agree that it's the experience that counts. My undergraduate degree is in history and I have a few master's credits in the HR line, but no intention of going further. Studying for the PHR/SPHR certification really pointed out what I needed to sp…
  • "I find it interesting that so many have eliminated Veterans' Day." We are a public library. We eliminated Veteran's Day and President's Day as holidays in 1992, closed the library to the public and had an inservice day for staff. Well, the loca…
  • We have nine standard paid holidays and two floating days. Anne in Ohio
  • What I didn't say very clearly, is that we are adjusting our reimbursement rate. Effective Sept. 1, mileage expenses will be paid at 48.5 cents per mile. Anne in Ohio
  • Not long ago, I was shocked when I received the results of a drug test on another company's ee. When I called to report it, I was advised to shred the report and they would take care of the situation. I heard in the roundabout way of small towns t…
  • We allow ees to make-up lost time based on business needs. In your scenario, we would only charge two hours of PTO if the supervisor approved a schedule change. We had to put some restraints on the policy because ees were basically making their ow…
  • We are in the middle of a ‘biggest loser’ contest right now. (April 1 – June 30) Our contest is voluntary and consists of teams rather than individuals. Over 55% of our ees have signed on to win a “highly coveted reward”. No one knows what this m…
  • This discussion was held a few months (weeks?)ago. This link should help. [url]http://www.hrhero.com/employersforum/DCForumID14/6116.html[/url] Anne in Ohio
  • This is the one I've been using. I like it because it links many of the regulations to appropriate explanatory sites. www.realtor.org/aehr.nsf/files/Compliance_Thresholds_Tables.pdf/$FILE/Compliance_Thresholds_Tables.pdf Anne in Ohio
  • WO, Your email account is disabled and I can't send the policy. Please let me know where it goes. email: [email]ahackman@mail.portsmouth.lib.oh.us[/email] Anne in Ohio
  • Our policy is very similar to Marc’s except we call it the Complaint Procedure. We are a public employer, non-union, with 85 ee’s. I sent a copy to your email address. Anne in Ohio
  • Deductions are taken from checks and contributed to the Ohio Public Employment Retirement System. (8.5% ee, 13.55% er) These payments exempt our employees from paying into SS - in effect, creating duplicate pension systems. OPERS is financially so…
  • I asked my SC daughter-in-law about this and she sent this link. It may or may not be what you're looking for. [url]http://www.cagc.org/legal_labor_hr/files/SCGA_employment_atwill_disclaimer.pdf[/url] Anne in Ohio
  • You're very right - I didn't mean to sound flip. We continually discuss issues at our weekly supervisors meeting and have successfully avoided an organizing attempt previously. I hadn't thought of formalizing it into my training sessions, but I th…
  • Hear, Hear! This is our philosophy too. But we never had an acronym for it before. RTI - that's the ticket. Anne in Ohio
  • The poster is up and ready to print. [url]http://www.dol.gov/vets/[/url] Anne in Ohio
  • Like Sam, we also have current employees complete an internal application. This consists of three parts: Explain why you are qualified to perform the job applied for, List any courses/training you have completed or any previous job experience which…
