Getting in late, but I agree. Stick with your policy and go the next step a written with the consequences of the next occurance clearly spelled out on the form. Dutch2

Same here. We only respond if the resume is for a position that we have advertised in the newspapers. Good luck, Dutch2

We don't contact the ee with questions about thier time cards, we hold each Supervisor responsible for the time cards of their team. Our handbook states something to the effect of: In the event you should forget to clock in or out, or have other e…

I agree. We have a similar situation with an investment Broker. He was hired with a small base salary and was to receive incentives for his sales efforts. So far this year he has received $0.00 in incentives and he appears to be content to live o…

Thank you, Dutch2

Sorry, don't know of an outside source. We did this ourselves a few years back and finally decided that the effort it took to pull it all together was not worth the preceived value. By the time we looked at each employee seperately to see if they h…

Wouldn't this be like any other item that you keep in your personnel files and therefore be considered "company property?" Dutch2

I have to say "Amen" to the above. I worked in such a setting while attending college and saw first hand how many were proud of the fact that they only had to do the minimum and they would receive the same pay, benefits, etc. as everyone else... so…

When I first came to this company (bank) about eight years back they also paid on the 1st and 15th. This was a pain for everyone. We even had employees complaining to the Board Members that they could never be sure how much they were going to be p…

I agree, if his "habits" are to the point that they are a bother to other ee's and distract them from their work or make them feel uncomfortable,then someone should have the kindness to mention this to the VP, however, not in a formal manner. Who k…

At our bank, we will close at noon on Christmas Eve Friday, as we normally do. We will be closed Satuarday, Christmas day and back open for BAU on Monday. Similar program for New Years Day, only we close at 3:00 in the afternoon on New Years Eve. …

My email had the following message that I used to be a subscriber. I challenged this and promptly recieved another telling me, "Please disreard this notice it was sent out on error." "According to our Forum computer system, you used to be an Em…

Ditto.. we are a banking business and we made the decision several years back that even if the person working requested an internship through the local HS or University we would put everyone on board as an employee of the bank and would pay them at …

'bout the same here. We have had this happen twice. On both occassions with advice from our co. attorney, we let the direct deposit go through as usual. The money ended up in the estate and then the family and lawyers were resonsible to settle wh…

If looking for a "rule of thumb" check with your insurance provider to find out the "norm" in the compaies they cover. I once worked for Wally-World and in their early years 19 hours was the break from F-T to P-T. They later increased this number.…

Come on now..... this is HR; a very highly government regulated and litigation happy field. What does common sense have to do with it. Good Luck to all of us!!! Dutch2

We have approx. 125 ee's and we too looked into doing this a year or so back. Based on the potential additional cost to our company we decided to pass it by, at least at this time. I have been challenged to find ways to reduce our overall benefit…

We do not ask before hand. But once the ee is talking openly about their "health condition(s)" their supervisor will ask them if there is anything we need to know just in case. So far, everyone has been very helpful as to how they feel we should r…

Amen to what POPEYE stated. Just let word get out in the community that your company will not consider anyone for employment that is active in the Guard. Can your supervisors spell no-win litigation? Good luck, Dutch2

We did this very switch in my former life. An exempt employee arranged to reduce her weekly schedule by 50% for a specific period of time. We did not attempt to alter her exempt status, as her job duties did not change, only the amount of time she…
-
We also go for the more general policies and not the very detailed specific versions. Very similar to that line on most all job descriptions; "Other duties as assigned." Good Luck, Dutch2

We too are a bank of about the same size. We instruct our ee's that our phones are for business use. However, I would guess our personal call rate to be 'bout the same as yours if not higher. We concentrate more on the amount of time spent on per…

Agree with the others. I would hold fast to the "business necessity" reasons. What is the business reason that this person has that causes her to open the checks of other employees? If it is not for business necessity, then she is just being nose…

Dear HRBanker: We have a very similar situation. We have around 125 employees in six branches and are also considering going to PTO program instead of the vacation and sick time we have used for many, many years. Our biggest concern is that the …

All of the above are good, but best to first check you 401(k) Plan document. We have a standard "boiler plate" plan that states all wages, including any type of bonus, are treated the same, so the bonus money is handled in the same manner as a regu…

Just curious.... has this current very-very casual "dress code" been around for a long period of time? Was there a specific incident that has caused the boss to want a more "dressy" dress code. We find it harder and harder to maintain a "Business …

I suggest a minimum of a written counseling that is placed in his file with the consequences on the form of what will happen to his employment next time this should happen. Are you sure no one else has engaged in this same activity? Not only did h…

We too are a bank that changed from the traditional lobby hours of 10:00 to 3:00 and started opening at 8:00 and closing at 5:00. All due to customer request for more convienent times to do their banking. There was much wailing and nashing of teet…

As I was once told, Time cards do not prove someone was tardy or absent they only show when the person clocked in and out. Do you have a posted offical schedule to go along with the times/dates in question? I suggest that you get with your Superiv…

Here at our bank in Missouri we can and do require all employees to use Direct Deposit but we can not force them to use a particular financial institution. This also happened while I was with Wally-World in Arkansas. There they warned everyone tha…
