  • Before you do anything make sure you look at all of the new HIPPA guidelines. Documenting illnesses might be tricky with all of these new rules.
  • Speaking from experience, I was laid off when I was eight months pregnant. Not a single negative thing in my file. I was angry so I went to the Department of Labor and they told me I had a very strong case to sue. This is New York and it was abou…
  • We have a monthly newsletter which our Marketing Department produces. I supply at least one article. Currently each month we are profiling a department. "What does your department do". We have 18 departments so this will last a while. We also d…
  • Thanks everyone for your great input. I have lots to choose from. I knew I could count on you. The company we are currently with is doing flips and backjumps to try to get us to stay. Not on your life. The straw that broke the camals back was m…
  • Amanda, how do you get anything else done? I don't feel so bad anymore. We do have an outside source that cuts the checks. I have a Kronos system, but I have to add in vacation, sick, etc. The keeping track of time off was my bosses issue - how …
  • Don - our permit Drivers always have to be with a licensed Driver and they have to stay within NY. We consider that our training period which usually last about 6 weeks even when we hire licensed drivers. We try to get their road test scheduled wit…
  • I'm glad to know I am not alone. Don, we have tried the catchy ads. We have even offered to pay for them to get their CDL's with us. They only need to have their permits. Thanks for the advice. The idea of going to the truck stops is a great one.…

  • We use a company called Safe Hands Employment Screening. They can do any kind of report in any state. The turn around time is about 48 hours, but you have to remind them once in a while that you need that fast turnaround time. Other than that the…
  • Could you also send me one of your privacy notices. I would really appreciate it. Thanks [email]pdusharm@ginsbergs.com[/email] or 518-828-0996
  • I just went to a HIPAA seminar yesterday and it's all very complicated. Is the employee the one giving the information? I learned yesterday that if the employee is the one giving the information to you, then you can do anything with that informati…
  • Don, don't know if this will help, but I've been on the other end. Sometimes things happen for the best. I was eight months pregnant, commuting an hour to work and in a banking job that I hated - they laid me off. At first I was upset, but then I…
  • Thanks! My e-mail is [email]pdusharm@ginsbergs.com[/email]. Anything you can send I'm sure will be helpful.
  • Can anyone tell me more about the moment of silence lead by President Bush. We were discussing what to do today in a meeting and someone brought up that there was going to be a national moment of silence, but not many people knew about it. We were…
