We use the term Supervisor to simply mean someone that is responsible to supervisor others. We have a monthly supervisor meeting that has front line supervisors all the way up to the EVP's and the COO of the company. Of course we also have much sm…

Yep, working for any "elected" official seems to be akin to political discrimination. They certaily wouldn't want anyone on their payroll wearing the symbol of the opposing party.

My first reaction is why do anything? As long as they are both able to do their job and there are no problems, all is fine. Just keep your ear to the rail for any opportunities that may come up and then react if necessary.

I agree with Atrimble. Was this a business dinner where he was entertaining clients or just out for dinner by himself. This quickly gets into the fog of just when is an exempt employee on the clock and when are they not on the clock, especialy whe…

Had you already offered the position to another? As I tell our Supervisors: "You are responsible to select and hire the most qualified person that you can." It would appear on the surface that the person (now applicant) that has already had the jo…

Nae is correct. I can't quote scripture and verse, but we have had this happen a couple of times. An ee will sign up for the maximum amount in flexible health care spending. Then have something done in the the first couple months of the year and …

We too use the one year rule as a rule of thumb. Of course there are exceptions, especially for more senior positions but this is handled as being negotiated prior to them being rehired; not after the fact.

Same here... we group all of these types of phones into one policy and address them as such. Of course with the new "phones" they could be listening to recorded music or the radio for all I know. Just address same as any other item that cuts into t…

Paul... a great idea and good timing for me. We recently ID'ed a group of future leaders of our company and arranged for them to take one afternoon every month to attend a "Leadership" class at one of the local Colleges. As most everyone with any …

I checked out the site listed by Ray and it stated that if you have not received your W-2 by Feb. 15th you should contact your employer and maybe the IRS.

Now James.... MythBusters recently proved that a (their) toilet seat was actually a clean area.
-
We are same as Rockie. We do not allow ee's in areas open to the public to eat at their desks. We also discourage it at all locaitons, but ...some superivsors are not as strict as others. On a topic not net mentioned, during a previous life we had…
-
About the same here. HR has its own shredder and all other employees are have a seperate and "special" plastic trash can at their work station. This trash can is were all the items to be shredded are placed. At night the clearning crew places all…

I recall that last year I noticed a regular size sheet of papaer on the bullentin board in one of our breakrooms and it was a pool for the superbowl. As I was looking this over, I also noticed that our Chairman and CEO each had their name in a coup…

Our salary range for a position similar to what you described is $17,500 to $26,000. So many "what if's" to consider. We would consider this an entry level position. Good luck...
-
Same here. We pay the ee their regular wages, plus they also get to keep the money they receive for serving on the jury. We have no time limit.
-
We require 12 months in their current position, at least a meets requirements on their most recent evaluation, and no counseling forms in their personnel file within the past 12 months. We did have a 6 month wait. However most of our entry level p…

"The ole lunch thief strikes again ploy..." I guess this has at one time or another been or will be a problem at most very company that allows their ee's to bring in lunches and keep them in a commom fridge. I would recommend something very brief …
-
Same here. Hind sight is most always best. We do not cover benefits in the offer letter. When we hand out benefit information on their first day, the forms clearly list any costs that the employee is resonsible to pay. HR also makes it a point to…
-
We will be closed on Monday, Dec. 25th and Monday, Janaury 1st only.
-
Yep, when an ee "turns in" their two week notice you can tell them thanks and terminate tham at that time. It is up the the employer to decide if it is best to honor their last two week time period and/or whether or not to pay them for the two week…

Also the White House Conference on Aging was this December 11-14. Might google this and find some interesting facts as well. One point I found interesting is that the first baby-boomers will be turning 60 years old in 2006 and that one baby-boomer…

Suggest you to to [url]www.dol.gov/esa/whd[/url] and click on "Opinion Letters" This site contains dozens if not hundreds of informative letters from the DOL. Good luck...

If you didn't close your office and some ee's were unable to make it to work due to the weather... Absenses for inclement weather are considered absences for personal reasons under the FLSA. Take the advice of the earlier post and if you don't have …
-
Do you have salary ranges for each of your positions? These could help your compamy with the higher costs for someone to pour coffee or mow the lawn. If a position max's out at $x per hour, this will help in eliminating some internal transfers if …
-
Not sure that I follow this 100% but I will give it a shot... When we transfer someone internally to a new position, we ensure the ee is aware of the job grade and salary range of the vacant position. Depending on what the ee was making in their pr…
-
It has only happened a couple of times here and we paid the ee's for their full two weeks notice.
-
We do not hold any such meetings/activities during regular business hours and they are always volunteer attendance. For the company sponsored Christmas dinner and picnic, we do require an RSVP so the caterers will know how much food to prepare. We…
-
We do. Thankfully we seldom have anyone on STD/LDT. But when we do we make it a point to invite them. We also invite all of our retirees to attend. For the past 3 or 4 years we have had to move our Christmas Dinner (Yes,we still call it a "Christ…

Suggest you tie all of the above together. Since they can longer drive due to no CDL (due to their own carelessness) then they should either be assinged to a different position and possible change in wages and schedule according to the new position…
