  • From the bean counter side, if you allow PTO to carry over, it must be carried as a liability on your company's balance sheet.
  • We looked into doing something similar two years ago & didn't find anything that would legally prevent us from doing so. However, it does depend on the employees being honest with you about their spouses ability to get coverage with his/her emp…
  • I have done this in the past and it was a real eye opener. Employees gained a new respect for other departments & it reduced the us aginst them mentality. It brought about a better compay wide team spirit. Hope it works as well for you.
  • If she is off work due to a w/c injury, her checks are obviously reaching her or you would have heard from her by now. Check the address on the injury report and see if it is the same one you are mailing to.
  • We recently went from 6 paid sick days which had to be used within a year to 4 PTO days. The reason for doing this was that there are always some employees who will take advantage and claim to be sick when they are not just to get a day off with pa…
  • A cafeteria plan is a great way to reduce the cost of health insurance for employees, as well as saving the company money. Since the premiums are paid with pre-tax $$$ the savings to employees is usually around 30% of their premium amount and the co…
  • We match $.50 on the $1.00 up to 5% of gross income per year. We have a graduated vesting schedule which takes six years to be fully vested.
  • The DOL website does have the new posters & forms posted. [url]http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/fmla/finalrule/FMLAPoster.pdf[/url]
  • Thanks! All of your comments just supported what I have already told the manager. Cherrye
  • You are certainly within your rights to request a second opinion. Having dealt with cancer patients, I know that it is not uncommon for fatigue to become an issue as chemotheraphy progresses. I would tell the employee that I need more specific inf…
  • First of all is it true that the employee is spreading the word that she can call in whenever she feels like it? Have you asked her? Sounds to me like it could be some jealous co-workers making those kind of statements. Do by all means ask for rec…
  • If the vacation is based on a formula for hours worked, you are not required to accrue vacation time for an absent employee. If your vacation is based on a week say after one year of employment and the employee has passed the one year anniversary d…
  • Do you require any vacation or PTO be taken con-currently with FML? If she has no other leave avaiable then you may terminate her. You have fulfilled your obligation under FMLA.

  • No,I was not aware of his temper, He had been a Chef at the White House and came with excellent references. He walked into a very diffcult work situation here. We have no "real kitchen" at the moment because it is under renovation & he is pro…
  • HRinFL, I refused to answer the first question as it may be used against me! Thanks, Cherrye
  • Don, Yes an employer can file a UI claim on the employee's behalf and can do so in the state of NC for up to 8 consecutive weeks. This is based on the premise that the employee will be returning to work for you and this is a temporary layoff. The…
  • I agree that you should not rush out and buy a chair. But do look at the work area. Sometimes there are other things you can do to help make a work area more comfortable. Desks & chairs need to be the correct height and level. After starting a…
  • Since the position she held is being eliminated, I don't see a problem with not bringing her back. I
  • We have asked employees to take voluntary attached lay-offs on a rotating basis. Each employee will be off work one to three weeks or more if someone would like more time and we have another employee to cover the position. Check with your local Empl…
  • We have a wage & hiring freeze in effect, which began in October & will continue through 2009. We also canceled our holiday party for 2008. Starting in January we are asking EE to participate in voluntary attached lay-offs as a cost savin…

  • We have used Time Centre for 3 years and are very happy with it. It uses hand scans but is not so sensitive that jewlery or dirty hands make a difference. It also interfaces well with our payroll system.
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-13-07 AT 08:35AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Thanks guys. I was venting when I wrote this email. I did advise the manager to counsel her on the behavior and to make sure he was documenting the performance …
  • I have used Knowledge Point for 3 years for the money it is great software. It is easy to use and requires little time to set up. The main problem that I had with it was getting mangers to use the features and when writing the actual evaluations, …
  • In the past, I worked two twelve hour days and got paid 36 hours with full insurance benfits, but no holiday pay unless the holiday fell on the day worked. Then I received 8 hours holiday & time and a half for hours worked on a holiday. We did …
  • The DOL web-site has information on the WARN Act. If you have an EAP they may be able to offer some assistance. We went through a large ROF two years ago and the EAP came in and gave classes on dealing with change. Also, contact your state unemplo…
  • We have several departments that each deal with different types of chemicals. I did an invetory of the chemicals on hand and called my suppliers and requested MSDS on each chemical and asked to automatically be sent MSDS on all new chemicals that w…
