Something like.... SOAB - the Society of Bad Acronyms

You can always play "Buzz-word" bingo at meetings. The first person that checks off five buzz-words shouts out "BINGO".

Is the overtime pay a definite/guarantee every week as an hourly employee or is it only when necessary? Would their hourly rate of pay simply be adjusted to the same equivalent salary rate (such as $15 an hr X 40 hrs = $600 salary) or would they re…

Thank you muchly for your responses. We had reached the same conclusion.
-
Don't you just love responses that start out with "It depends." But as always -- Nae is correct. Just be careful as you are setting the standard for your company and be sure to try and think about all of the possibilities that could come up with…

We too have a salary range for each position with a minimum and maximum wage for the position. We use a point factoring system to determine the range for each position. We take a realistic look at the actual minimum requirements for each position.…

Financial - we do not consider an ee tardy unless they are late by 5 minutes or more when clocking in to start the day or returning from their meal break. They are allowed one tardy per week. If they are tardy 5 or more times within a four week pe…

I wish we did not accept unsolicated applications - but we do. A few years back we were fortunate to be the bulls eye of a DOL "random" selection to review our Affirmation Action Plan and all documents assocaited with same. Thought this would go o…

I failed to mention that we added a mobile/courier Teller a couple of years back. A driver and a co-driver, bank employees, will come to your place of business and pick up your deposits, etc, via locked money bag and take them to the bank for you. …
-
The newer ATM's will just about do that... "self-banking lines." I work at a bank and I don't know why I would ever come inside for banking purposes if I wasn't already here. An occassional trip to the safety deposit box would be about it. Payroll…
-
We too do our best to practice discipline in private. Best way I know for the results to be visible is that if your discipline is working the "slackers" will no longer be slacking and their co-workers will notice a marked improvement in their work …

When I first started here we had an AVP (in title only - not ability) that had been here since dirt first showed up and she supervised the lobby- Secretaries and Tellers. Her philosophy was, "You don't have to be busy - you just have to be availabl…
-
Not as much of a problem here as it was a few years back. We make sure our Teller Supervisors understand that one of their primary jobs is to ensure they have adequate, but not excessive, coverage in all facilities and if they are short handed they…

That was exactly it Nae. This was worst than a company trying to use some home made code on an applicaiton to indicate race, gender, age, etc.... 'sides our legal dept. back at the home office didn't just say no.... they said "HECK NO!!!"
-
Paul: I could not help but notice your comment "allowed us to have employees submit a photo" the emphasis being on employee and not applicant. I recall in a past life I visited a new multipurpose facility opening in central IL or IN for the company…

Sharon makes a good point. In a past life, I dealt with many offsite "mini" offices scrattered over several states. Their main priority was getting their job done and that did not seem to include HR paperwork. Everytime I visited these offices I m…

Personally.... I'm just glad that I still have hair...!!!!

Thanks Frank! Now I can't get the song "Nashville Cats" out of my mind.

Not up to Nae's quality but... A Priest, a Rabbi and a Baptist preacher work into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, “What is this … a joke?”
-
That is what we did. We do not have specific leave for pregnancy or maternity leave. We simply have a medical leave that covers all health related issues and it ties in with FMLA.
-
We do not have it on every job description but we do have it in our employee handbook: "Being at work on time and maintaining good attendance is a condition of employment and is an essential function of your job."
-
Same here - we collect EEOC information when the new ee is filling out their new hire paperwork. We let them check off their own data and that is what we report. We have used suvey monkey for other areas and it has worked very well for us.
-
Do you have to provide this information? Do they already have this data for all other managers? We maintain a list of all management staff with their addresses and phone numbers for our contingency and/or emergency contact information. To my know…

How will the newly scheduled work days dovetail into your benefit programs? When a holiday rolls around will the ee's be paid 10 hours holiday pay, same questions for sick, vacation, etc... and how these benefit times are accrued/accumulated by you…

An outside firm that we use to assist with our 401(k) Plan sent me the following some time back concerning this very matter. Their response was: "The SPD can be delivered via e-mail under the guidelines listed in the attachment (see address bel…

Don't be in to big of a hurry. This addiction of yours will no doubt soon be covered by ADA...
-
I agree with Frank on this one. We allow our employees to use their vacation time when they have exhausted all of their sick leave. One idea behind this is they could take up to 12 weeks off work (FMLA) return to work and still have 2-3-4 weeks of…
-
Same here.... we provide copies of the evaluaiton form for the employee at the time of the evaluation. So, I would provide an additional copy if requested by the employee. Keep in mind that if this should become an issue (litigated) one of the fir…

We have a few sites that are approved for everyone - such as an onlne traning programs, access to insurance companies, etc.. Other than these types of sites we block internet access unless the employee has a business need to have additional access.…

We too try to a more general policy that covers a variety of issues. That being said, occasionally a specific topic will arise that demands our individual attention. Most recently it is the use of Social Media sites that we are dealing with to the …
