Does anyone have a sample bereavement policy they would share? We have one, but I have proposed changing it. Right now we give up to 3 days off for the death of almost any relative or person living in the home. We don't specify bringing any proof.…

I am not disagreeing with those who said this should be private. I agree, but I can't imagine someone having cancer, which usually requires some time off for treatment, and the whole workforce not knowing already. Where I work, while I'm figuring…

I agree with Leslie, disclose. Part of our operation is licensed by the state of Okla under the Nursing Home regs. The state requires that we use an app that they designed which asks "have you EVER been arrested...etc." I'd much rather have someo…

Don, I'm kind of a stickler for grammar and I momentarily freaked when I read HRsage's reference to his wife, then the next sentence about getting up in years...wasn't sure if that referred to Pork or the wife! I decided to give HRsage the benefit …

HRsage, thanks. I had just read the other thread and was pleased to find that we can be "reasonable" with people. When someone has had the right to work year after year, and has asylee status, it would seem reasonable that they are not "illegal." …

HRsage, you mean you don't get email notices of all the seminars/audio presentations etc? I wish I could afford to participate in all of them, but I depend on you "sages" for a lot of support and advice. The employee I was concerned about brought …

Thanks, will ask specifically for Notice of Action.

You are right, Don. Where are the attorneys? If I followed the letter of the law, I'd be firing some good people right now. But I feel like part of the problem is the paperwork snafu and the slow moving bureaucracy. We've had others in the past …

I visited the "INS" website and was referred to the new "U.S. Office of Citizenship and Immigration Services" (USCIS.gov) Just changed as they have become part of Homeland Security. They have a very good website that addresses about everything you …

I almost hesitate to get into this one, but some time back we had the same discussion and seems to me the answer was that a "permanent resident" alien doesn't need to be reverified. The term "permanent resident" would mean to me that they are autho…

Why would a family member contest treatment for an injury? There are religious groups with beliefs that prohibit certain medical procedures. It could happen.

My experience with notification of parents that their son had been killed was not work-related. He was my best friend's husband and a dear friend to me. My husband is a minister and we were asked by the family to tell his parents. I just cited tha…

I think everyone has acknowledged that there are very legitimate reasons for having a PO box vs. using your physical address. Your reason is certainly valid. A phone number and emergency contact information of some kind is vital. The physical a…

Interesting discussion. One reason I've seen for having a PO Box is to keep the process servers/collectors from finding you. Most of them just serve the papers at the work site. I have lived in very small towns where everyone had a PO Box. We hav…

I also report to a CEO who is a hands-off kind of manager. He is a big change from the micro-manager I used to have. I make sure to give him a report on any issue that might have some kind of legal consequences for us, otherwise I think he expects…

Most of the results also say "low specific gravity," and sometimes "dilute specimen." So you consider those terms to be an "unacceptable" result? I think I need to reword our policy slightly to cover this issue. Okla. drug laws are very strict an…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-15-03 AT 10:09AM (CST)[/font][p]The clinic that does the tests is always suspicious of a low creatinine test. It can be caused from a deliberate attempt to dilute the urine, as in drinking a lot of w…

Since they were so quick to come up with a release from wrongful discharge, sounds like they are pretty nervous to me. Two weeks pay isn't much to sign away your legal rights.

HR4life did say he/she had consulted with the HR Director and lawyers on how to handle the SS no-match letters that really started the whole brou-ha-ha. If you had received a huge bunch of no-match letters, it would seem very appropriate to imple…

For what it's worth, the HR community is symbolically wrapping its arms around you for support. We've all run into managers that don't care or won't listen, but keeping them in compliance is our job. You were doing your job, it's not fair, but fili…

I just ordered new posters from G. Neil, including a Spanish version. They are good. I pasted a little note over their ad in the bottom corner to note the locations of the alternate language posters, since I don't have room in every bulletin board…

Gosh, Don. Sounds like more violins were definitely in order. That's worse than my nurse abandoning 24 Alzheimer's patients!
-
My experience is the same as JulieP in NC. Because the witnesses were not at the hearing, the officer wouldn't admit the statements from them. Take the people involved with you. Why is it so hard to get people to document!
-
Performance issues are the same in Okla. Poor performance isn't enough to deny Unemployment, that's why the only chance is to focus on policy violation.
-
Laws vary from state to state, but I've found the best strategy in Okla. is to focus on policy violation. If you can show, hopefully with an signed acknowledgement form, that he had received and was responsible for adhereing to certain policies, an…

As for divorce, absolutely see the documents before you change anything related to benefits. Too many employees want to drop spouses because they're "separated" or mad at them. I will not drop a spouse from any insurance except at Open Enrollment o…

There was a lot of discussion on another thread about SS cards and payroll. Before I will change a name in payroll, I want to see the new card to be sure the name matches. We copy it for payroll records. They may also want to fill out a new W-4. I…

We too have Ceridian. Payroll is done primarily in the accounting dept. HR inputs salary changes, address changes etc, benefits, new hire info,etc. Supervisors approve time sheets and input vacation, sick leave etc, by computer and the system pul…
