  • Same here... our policy states: You may require only a partial day or a full day to attend the funeral; however your supervisor must pre-approve all paid bereavement time. If you require only a partial day, you will be paid, for the time you wer…
  • We do the same as Sonny - "combination of education and work experience." In most all cases, I would rather have someone with four years of experience in the poistion over a recent college grad with no experience.
  • I receive them electronically and they are saved in the same manner. So far our auditors and examiners are happy with us being able to simply send them the results in this manner. Although they recently wanted to see the original authorization for…
  • Same here.... all we do are garnishments that have been approved through the legal system. We would consider this a private matter between the employee and the financial institution they used for their loan.
  • Ditto here. Our handbook states exempt ee's are required to use sick time and vacation time to cover their absence.
  • Saw a cartoon last week: Two men walking on a sidewalk - one man says "With the stock market bouncing around so much, I guess I will be working a lot longer than I had origianlly planned... if I can ever find a job."
  • My first thought would be that if he wants to continue this practice then he needs to go back to his previous job where he had a business reason to access this information. How do the owners of the company feel about him reviewing all of their emai…
  • Can you or the ee in question contact the University and find out what they consider gainfully employed to be and then explain the employment situation to them to see if it will meet their policies?
  • Bank here... we have one Compliance Officer. This position reports directly to the COO.
  • Only time we have suspended someone for any length of time was when the ee had a date in court. They were suspended until the outcome of same. For basic disciplinary issues we simply follow our discipline process. The last step is a day off with …
  • Suggest you contact the school where the student attends. They should be able to inform you of the visa requirements. Such as the work must be related to the course work and/or the employer must work with the professor to give the student a grade …
  • We also do this... Anytime an exempt employee goes above and beyond putting in a lot of extra time to get the job done we will "reward" them with paid time off. As mentioned above we do not match hour for hour - we will give them less time than the…
  • hoot and a half if so much of it didn't have a fimilar ring. Kinda reminds me of the HR memo's that go out concerning the planning of the annual Christmas Party. Thanks for the chuckle this afternoon.
  • Nope... no one was ever caught but the good news is no one and no ATM's were robbed.

  • Guess we are just getting comfortable with the higher prices. Oil was up to $113 pb but is now down to $106 - of course our prices still went up another 10 cents over night to $3.699 per gallon. Most of the local increases have been 10 cents at a…

  • Went to MO.gov and quickly found the following: Termination of Employment and Final Wages Missouri follows the Employment-At-Will doctrine. This means that both the employer and employee can terminate the employment relationship at any time and for …
  • To tie on to what Frank mentioned. The salary ranges will vary greatly from one area of the country to another and from rural to metro within the same area. I have had pretty good luck simply calling the other banks in our area, asking for their H…
  • Frank - where did you attend college. When my wife was teaching at MU she had a student fall asleep in one her classes - near the end of class. She announced that class was over and she left the young man asleep on the desk.
  • I must ask what were doing in a "high end retail department store"?
  • In a former life, we caught a night watchman asleep - he had brought in a small cot and set it up behind boxes so he would not be seen. We woke him and told him to pick up his bed and walk. Also caught a teller asleep, head down on the counter at…
  • Good point... we too have several sales people that make more, much more in some caes, than their managers. The sales staff are on a small base salary and the majority of their wages come from the commissions they receive for making or exceeding th…
  • We make it very clear in our Employee Handbook that we do not have a probatrionary period. We do have a 90 day Review where the only options are satisfactory or unsatisfactory. We follow the same progressive discipline steps with new hires as we d…
  • [QUOTE=Sharon McKnight SPHR;722004]So, she was omitted from the distribution list this year because she was so good at it last year? Sharon[/QUOTE] Yep.... it was all done in good fun. Basically the men wanted to have a chance to win this year.
  • Sharon, last year my better half was the only female to turn in a March Maddness sheet from her co-workers. Of course - her sheet won. The college president made a presentation to her at the first Cabinet meeting following the playoffs. She comme…
  • Same here. We most always have our directors/managers attend the board meetings every month. They give a short presentation regarding their area of responsibility. I most always get to cover our benefit programs and what we are doing to control c…
  • On the store bought "Attorney Developed" applications we get from gNeil - they ask for the SSN on the bottom of the third page. However, we do not use it for anything. We have separate forms that we have applicants complete, after their first int…
  • Same here. We require anyone on FMLA to use any vacation and/or sick time they have available until short term disibility kicks in on day 31.

  • My son asked me if I had heard how many drugs they found in Charlie Sheen at his last test. I responded, no I have not heard anything about it. He said they found enough drugs to kill two and a half men. (sorry 'bout that)
  • Paul: So glad to hear that you and your family are well and that your community was not affected. There was a poster on the SHRM site Friday afternoon whose office is literally located on the water front in the Oregon/Washington area and they were …
