  • At a previous employer, they neglected to report our wages to Social Security over a three year period. In order to get the issue resolved, we were required as individuals to take our w-2's to the local social security office and have them resolve …

  • 1. I need to put together a request for a proposal from potential vendors. In my post, I am asking if anyone has suggested questions that would be good to include in the request for information. 2. I need to put together a formal implementatio…
  • I too had a previously life in the staffing industry and we did not provide social security numbers to any of our clients. I would ensure the clients that all necessary background checks and required testing were complete prior to the employee's pl…

  • You don't mention in your post if you've ever had any problems with this employee and attendance. What made her feel as if she had to lie? Was it simply to avoid two occurences? If so, was she close to termination or disciplinary action and that …
  • While I agree that it is difficult to find the perfect "business casual" dress code, I think that it is well worth it when found and implemented. I came from an environment where suits, stockings and closed toed shoes were a must for all female emp…

  • At my previous company, we had a requirement of fingertip length for skirts. So, if you stand with your hands down at your sides and your skirt isn't as long and your longest finger, then the skirt should not be worn for work. And as always, tell…
  • I completely agree with Hatchetman. If this individual has excessive absenteeism, that is one thing. If this is an isolated absence, let it go. Keep in mind that it is not only physical illness that causes an employee to call in sick. If your emp…
