Don't have specific infor. or a place to go. However, this sounds very much like the Employee Activity Committee we have. This committee meets monthly and works to pull off most all of our company functions; Summer Picnic, Christmas Dinner, Hayrid…

According to an article I read today: "House and Senate leaders, negotiations have started to craft a final piece of legislation that will be acceptable to both sides. The Congressional leaders have indicated that final action on the bill could com…

Catbert22: congrats on your second post! Guess no one has any experience with UltiPro payroll software. We use a local company to process our payroll and they have a software program called Evolution. They switched from RapidPay to Evolution a c…

No, we are not unionized; thank goodness....

Ditto... same here.

We too have a farily detailed computer use agreement that I will be happy to sent to you. My biggest concern would be that you mentioned that some are management. An outsider could and would conclude therefore that the management of your company n…

I am sure you know this, but in the other 49 non-sunny states, the name of the position does not pull any weight, it is the acutal job duties performed. Having said that in the currently cloudy and cold state of Missouri, Yes, those that I am awar…

Depending upon what business you are in... some customers require more hand-holding personal attention than others. We hope that our ee's recognize this and that they communicate with their customers accordingly. Having said that, we also strive …

If you are also a member of SHRM, they have multiple white papers on this subject and they may even have a sample policy.

ACU... in this case I understand that the interpreter was both: a professional and a friend. Henceforth the comfort level for the customer. You are right on about the sporting events at the School for the Deaf. I have not attended a football game…

Very good points. This was not a difficult situation at all. The State School for the Deaf is in our community and therefore, we have access to lots of qualified people that can use ASL. Plus one of the colleges in town has an outstanding ASL prog…

Missk thanks for your response. In the meantime I had contacted the ADA Hotline and they informed us that we are not required to use the customer's service provider. Our obligation is to provide the service and if we have already contracted with…

According to the company that processes our payroll.... We can list any name on the actual check. For instance we have an Elizabeth that everyone knows as Beth. A couple of employees that have gone by their middle name all their life and no ones …

We do not purge an employee's file for such matters. If it was important enough to put in their personnel file, we leave it there. We do not consider it "active" after twelve months, but it remains in their file.
-
Good advice in the previous responses... "Unless you see it, document that they said they documented the conversations." SMace, glad to see that I am not the only one that has done this. In my early years of HR I was burned on more than one occ…

We use one year for a warning/counceling form to be considered "active." However, We do not take any warnings out of files; they still in the personnel file as long as the ee is with us.
-
That would be the one... and then when "they" do come in and read it they will always find something not quite right or needs to be updated and you get to work on it again... Good luck.

Had an ee take time off to attend his grandmothers funeral. Story in the grapevine was that he lied about this and just wanted the time off. I called his family to offer our condolences and they were very surprised to receive the call as Granny wa…

I agree. We sometimes will term a bank teller for not being able to balance their cash. We have specific guidlines and every teller is held to the same standards. I have yet to win a UI case on for reason; but, I still try on everyone one of them…

As the others have said, Yes you can. If their clothing does not fit within your dress code this can be addressed. Just be prepared for them to point out eveyone else that is not following the dress code to the letter of the law.

What a great opportunity to train someone the way you want them to be trained. They won't need to un-learn any bad habits. What are the priorities of the position? When I did this a few years back, the training was set up in steps, a very brief e…

How's about word of mouth in the local community? Or... a bonus for a current ee if they recommend someone for the position that is hired? Working with our local Chamber we can place open positions on their website as well as the local college and…

I always make it a point to emphasize the point that "dicipline" or performance coaching, what ever you call it, is not a way to get rid of anyone. It is intended as a means of addressing and correcting an attendance, performance or conduct situati…

We have a grade level and salary range for each position. So... I list the grade level and the beginning and maximum salary for the position that is posted.

I sure hope he is, 'casue that is exactly what he has been doing... Dutch2

Just curious... "What if" they had listed the first day of employment as 1-02 and not 1-01, New Years Day. I assume the new exempt ee would not be eligible for holiday pay if this had been the case and could then be paid for four days without any c…

We do not allow alcoholic drinks at company functions. I agree with the other poster that a verbal warning may not be strong enough. If this is the first time this has happened, you are setting the standard as to how it will be preceived going for…
-
I have been involved in switching it both ways. From anniversay dates to once a year and from once a year to anniversay dates. We too used a very similar method for pro-rateing to determine how much to allow for the shorter periods of time. Be sur…

Same here. A few years back I added a section on our Supervisor Eval. form that covers how they do the evaluations of their team: timely, honest, good feed back, etc... Just added these areas to the Supervisor eval we were already using and gave …

Don't know about Kansas,but I had an ee demand to record a counseling session once and rather than have a "knock-down-drag-out" fight on our hands, I said sure, in fact I think I too will record the meeting and did. Never heard a word about it afte…
