We've bargained with upper management, not necessarily line management or those without any supervisory responsibilities. And it's only been three times in the last 5 years. If the candidate was the best qualified and the only thing standing in our…

I agree. I've had several candidates negotiate for more vacation. For those we've bargained with, it's been great.

PTO does not normally include holidays. PTO normally includes vacation and sick time (incidental). Meaning, if your sick, child is sick or you need the day off, use PTO. I would ask about STD benefits and how PTO coordinates with that. We offer 5…

Thanks! Our EAP did visit the staff and they ended up talking for about an hour. I received positive feedback from everyone, so I'm glad that worked out. I haven't had the "third" incident yet, but I did get a phone call from a fruitcake this morn…

Thank you all. Turns out the other vehicle was a drunk driver. He has been charged with vehicular homicide, DUI and running a stop sign. Our EAP is coming in later in the week. It's a small group of 5 and I think this will really help. We'll see…

This is one of many reasons why we ditched our sick time and rolled it into PTO. We added an extra 5 days to everyone's PTO a couple years ago and it actually went over really well. No more lying about being sick just to get those days, or lying f…

An EAP referral doesn't necessarily regard her as disabled. Our EAP deals with everything from kids to marriage to credit card debt. Having your personal life in turmoil doesn't make you diabled. We all have issues in our life but we have to learn…

I agree w/Linda. We've made mandatory referrals to the EAP. Some with success, others without. You have to take care of this before she drags down the rest of the department. Once had a lady on staff that constantly yelled at her kids when they …

My thoughts exactly. We've had a horrible time these last few months and are almost fully staffed now. We advertised like crazy! AKA Desperate! I thought it best to lay low for a while, but they don't see it that way. Plus, summer is typically a …

I am in the publishing industry and have about 415 employees. We do everything except process payroll, although we handle all data entry into the system. There's me (director) and two staff assistants. Both are hourly, neither degreed, but they h…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-21-06 AT 10:57AM (CST)[/font][br][br]we have a group that meets in front of our bldg before 8:00. The city has a monument out front so it's actually across the street on public property. We asked t…

We've had this program for years and it works well. We announce the winner along with service anniversaries and serve cake. Which is a whole other story b/c the cakes are awesome. Anyway, I digress. We review nominations at our staff meetings (al…

oh good grief!! What is wrong with people today????
-
I think it all depends on the job and who they are interacting with. For example, our dress code is stricter for our sales staff and newsroom than any other department b/c they represent the company and are out and about in the community. You can …

yeah, I was trying to be polite. Didn't want to come right out and say they were completely incompetent fools! #-o
-
yes, I've learned that the hard way, too. I've lost almost every attendance U/I because as long as they follow the call-in policy, they're ok. They can't control their illness or the illness of others. Lost one b/c the employee repeatedly missed …

UPDATE: Received the decision today and the original denial was upheld. The hearing officer stated "the petitioner failed to show good cause to have the hearing reopened". Yeah!! There is good in the world. Now I have another one for someone who…
-
well, we went to the hearing today. the first issue to be decided was whether claimant showed sufficient reason for not appearing (the 1st time). She stuck with her story that she simply wrote down the wrong date. I could tell by the look on the …
-
Exactly!! I had to apologize to my two managers b/c I repeatedly told them there was no way she would get another hearing. Boy was I eating crow. I've never had this happen before. I still can't believe they allowed it.
-
I did. They gave me the runaround. The rep told me that apparently she (ex-ee) must have pleaded her case on the phone and that they basically gave her a 2nd chance. But she couldn't tell me what was said or who the rep was. Gov't at it's finest…

We use Ceridian. It is great! For those who don't have access to a PC to clock in ,we use the wall time clocks. EE's simply swipe their badge to clock in/out. I would suggest you roll it out to everyone. We ran parallel with our old system for a…

Ditto what HRCalico said. And yes, you are correct about the Weingarten thing. In my experience, there could be two issues here: 1) Exec is trying to whip mgr into shape or 2) they just really don't care for each other. Then it's time for the "you …

I'm with Pork. I will review final writtens (prior to) or if asked by the manager, however, I do not sign. Mgt knows I have to give the OK to fire someone so they have learned to review with me up front. Makes my life a lot easier.

no. Each year I order the 5 year plaques. They are printed with each employee's names. I order 10+ plaques in Jan and then again in June. Each plaque comes with a catalog, but they are not customized to each employee, only years of service, so i…

We use Tharpe. Similar to OC Tanner. They are based in North Carolina. Same concept as others. We give a custom plaque at 5yrs. 10+ gets a certificate embedded in clear acrylic plus a catalog. The longer they are here, the nicer the gifts. Emp…

By "they", I mean the contractors. A lot are paid cash. It's a win-win for businesses and them. I say "a lot" b/c I have no idea what the numbers are. I will say they have no right to demand anything. I know many have sacrificed so much, inclu…
-
I agree that it is unreasonable for us to just magically "force" these folks back to their country. If they are here, working, then we should implement some type of guest worker program that allows them to pay SS, FICA, etc. What we have now is 50%…

I am amazed we haven't heard more in our area. GA & SC are huge peach crop areas. Most, if not all, crops are picked by immigrants. We haven't heard anything. We had some construction contractors walk out a few weeks ago, but it wasn't even …
