  • Deb: Welcome... I guess it would depend upon what business you are in. We are in the finance business and based upon our "ranking" I would have to say just has you have them listed: 1. Supervisor, 2. Coordinator, and 3. Specailist. We have speci…

  • I will be the first to admit that I don't get around much. What is a "Crate & Barrel"? What type of business are they? Thanks...
  • Good luck...I agree with the above statement. Our harassment policy very clearly states that it covers at work and all company activities/functions including travel to and from. To me it still falls back on: if you don't do anything about it; then…
  • Same here... only Safe Harbor I know of has to do with 401(k) Plans.
  • Thanks Marc... I too was wondering just what FACTA stands for.

  • We do the same as LindaS. If the ee does not supply the Physicians note we simply list their attendance as unexcused and let your attendance policy do the rest. Good luck...
  • Day Dreamer, unless there are state regulations regarding this matter I believe it is up to each employer as to how many hours they consider to be full-time and therefore eligible for the benefit program. I know of some companies in this part of t…
  • Not sure I understand the question but I will give it a shot.... We have a four step progressive counseling program. #1 - Coaching - a very informal disucssion with the ee to cover "their" opportunity and explain why this is not acceptable. #2 - Ve…
  • Same here. It is usually someone from law enforcement that serves the papers. We ask the officer to wait in the HR office and call the ee to come here.

  • I too very much look forward to sending and receiving Christmas cards. But... not so much at work from vendors, etc. When you know they were a mass mailing to everyone on their client list. If someone takes the time to hand write a short note tha…
  • Instead of gifts to one another here at work our folks do a great job of supporting adopt a family, toys for totts, etc and local charities such as the food pantry, soup kitechen, etc. It is amazing at the amount of gifts, personal time, and money …
  • We leave them in the personnel files. We do not consider them active after one year but we do not take them out of the file.
  • We have had this happen a few times. We simply require the ee's to bring a release to work statement from their Doc. If their Doc says they are ok and this is what they want, we can sure use them back at work.
  • Do you have a "driving" or "skills ability" test that they must compelte before they are allowed to operate this type of machinery?
  • Same here, not sure why they would do this, but there is nothing wrong with doing so. Any position can be set up as hourly and there is no foul. My first thought was...is this a way of digging you for reduceing your work hours or they may just not…
  • Our response would be much like Pauls. We, the company, are not responsible for your personal property. Makes no difference if you are at work or traveling on the road, the ee is responsible for their personal property. Suggest he contacts his pe…
  • We do a mock robbery at each bank location every year. We must do this either before we open or after we close. Can't have this happening while we are open for the public. Our ee's know that it will be happening so no one panics but they do not k…
  • We end up paying considerable funds every year to our WC provider due to our outside contractors not providing their own WC coverage. Not sure; it may vary by state. Here you must have so many ee's before your are required to provide WC for your e…
  • Sorry, I will be unable to discuss this product in any detail as my copy went to file 13 after reading the first page.
  • I received a flyer just this week from some HR vendor attempting to sell such a product. I agree with the concept that you can teach most ee's the tasks and/or job duties, but it is difficult if not impossible to teach someone how to be naturally f…
  • Our program is based on the company exceeding the budget NET numbers and each employee is assigned at least four goals to attain during the year. We have three goals. First goal is equal to 2 weeks pay, second is 3 weeks, and third is equal to 4 we…
  • Senior, Lead, Administrator, Chief, and Specialist are all used fairly often. We even have some positions numbered: I, II, III,etc... with the higher number being the more advanced position. Just try to keep some consistency going forward. Good l…
  • Don't know about the C-Store business but in banking we have a standard set for our tellers. They are supposed to balance every day; however, stuff happens. If their outage reaches a certain amount (short or long) they automatically go into our pr…
  • We seldom use temp's, but when we do they are responsible for their own time. We allow them to use our time clock to record their time or to just write their time down and turn it in to their er which ever their er wants them to keep track of their…
  • If the er has not paid for eye exams up to this point, you will be starting a new trend. Is there some type of protective eye wear that the ee can worn over his glasses, such as full shield? If you pay for his, be prepared to pay for others going …
  • I agree with the first post. You have identified the problem and the culprit. Address the problem with them and then hold them accountable. We have a program worked with the local high school for an intern that works every afternoon and Saturday …
  • We don't set a limit but we do state the following: As a XYZ employee, you may be called upon to attend social functions where alcoholic beverages are being served. It is your personal choice to drink these beverages or not. However, if you choos…
  • I can't help but wonder what technology advances you are reffering to; since we too are in the financial industry.
  • I randomly select the names of X number of ee's each month. Our CIO pulls up their accounts and checks for anything out of line. Our ee's are required to sign a computer use agreement before we give them access to anything. Most of the time there…
