  • Same here. I checked a few weeks of newspaper ads and everyone I saw listed EOE or actually spelled out Equal Opportunity Employer.
  • We have what we call our company Doc' that we send all of our Workers Comp. claims. This is a local Doc' that we have developed a relationship with over the years and he is willing to handle our WC claims. As most WC claims need to see the Doc' righ…
  • So... some exempt employees will have to complete a timesheet and you will continue to pay them overtime, but some exempt employees will not "clock in and out and will not be paid overtime" is this corrct? I cannot see how they would consider them…
  • A charge without final disposition carries the presumption of NOT quilty until the time it is adjudicates guilty. Suspended imposition of sentence dispositions are not convictions and become closed records when probation is completed or finally te…
  • What is your "required time" policy. We give our ee's one month to turn in their expense reports. We will sometimes have someone that simply forgets to turn it in, but overall no problem with the one month time frame.
  • I agree. A strong point for your side is that your company discovered the error they took immediate action to correct same.
  • Is this your responsibility or his supervisor's responsibility? Sounds like you already have a good idea of what he needs to improve. Someone needs to explain this to him. There are usually all sorts of seminares available that cover how to commu…
  • My first response is that the attendance problem should be addressed through your normal discipline process, which if not corrected could lead to termination. On our performance reviews each catagory is rated 1-5 (5 being best). If the attendance…

  • In addition to the candy for the kids, a bag of Hershey's Kisses can go a long way when someone comes to your office that is really having a bad day. Of course a box of tissues for those tear eyed moments that always seem to occur in the HR office.…
  • Our policy is similar... However we only allow ear rings to be worn, no other facial jewelry is permitted. We do make it a point that if an applicant comes in for an interview with multiple piercings, they a informed at that time that this is not …
  • It wasn't that long ago that so many companies were bailing out of their defined benefit plans and going to 401(k) Plans, primarily due to the gains that stock market had been posting. I too am hoping that it is cyclical. The key is to retire when…
  • We hire all types of family members /realtives, we do not allow one to report to another. As with any other ee's: some work out... some do not.
  • Yep... keep it short and to the point. No reason to explain anything.
  • We only have a couple of non-exempt ee's that are members of civic organizations. Since we encourage them to be members and to represent our company at these functions, due to their positions, we pay them for their time at the lunch meetings.
  • Also check with your voting offices for their hours of operation. We allow our ee's off to vote, County Court House is literally across the street from us. But we encourage them to go before or after work.
  • Our payroll system allows us to have a nickname, or Beth instead of Elizabeth, Sam vs. Samantha, Bob vs. Robert, etc. that is printed on their actual pay check that we hand out. However, their legal name appears for the purposes of W-2 information.…
  • I have to agree with Whirlwind and hrdir03nafcu why do you need to ask this quetion. What is your busienss purpose for asking this, what are you attempting to find out? Keep your questions to business realated issues. Normally an applicant will te…
  • If the multiple choice is "everyone or no one" I would have to say no one. There is no way to satisay everyone if you giving away $100 bills.
  • Not sure where in MO you are located. We use EDP a company out of Columbia in central MO. They are very good as a payroll processor and have a few different HR systems they can offer. Good luck...
  • Absolutely update your job descriptions to include lifting XX pounds and ability to climb ladders, etc... In my former life, we would actually give the applicant(s) a tour of the area(s) where they would be working. This gave them first hand knowl…
  • Maybe something as simply as overtime hours worked. Are they really necessary?
  • If you have concerns about this individual and if they were hired through an agency, can't you just contact them and inform that not to send this person back? Seems to me that this should be there problem to deal with not yours. Good luck...
  • We do not allow alcoholic drinks at company events, picnics, Holiday Dinner, etc. However, once the "company function" is over a few ee's always seem to stay behind and either bring our their own coolers or go to the bar themselves. For what it is…
  • Suggest you talk with the Officer and see if they have any idea of the Dept. Mgr's concerns and if not make sure they are aware. You may be able to simply talk with the dept mgr after this meeting or it may be necessary to get the two of them toget…
  • Do you accept resumes via email? Or do you only select from and interview those that show up at your facility?
  • 'bout the same here too... I am actually involved only when the Supervisor is concerned the counseling session may go down hill and then I do my best to act as a witness only. I do assist in writing most all of the counseling forms, especailly with…
  • I agree. I encourage current Supervisors to review the personnel files of former employees that they are considering to hire. You should look through the file yourself, just to make sure that there is nothing in it that they should not see. It is…
  • I agree that every ee should have the opportunity to talk with HR about their questions regarding benefits, payroll, etc. However if the manager will not allow the ee off of the production line, then can you go to them? If the production line is n…
  • After reading all of the above methods of handling this situation, I am glad that we still have the ole "use it or lose it" policy of vacation each year. Good luck
  • If you are a member of SHRM, just type in "USERRA" in their search area and will be get several reports to view. If not a member of SHRM, then go to Google and type in "USERRA" and you will also get several hits. It immediatley came up with a very…
