I think most companies right now are looking for ways to cut expenses. If they can cut other things and save some money then the company doesn't have to even consider cutting some of the workforce. Not an HR item - but we just looked at our office s…

Just like most things, there are + and - to telecommuting. I have the ability to work from home on occasion. To be honest, I am a lot more productive when I am home then in the office. It can sometimes take me twice as long to get something done i…

I do think that wellness programs should go hand in hand with consumer directed healthcare. One of the things about HSA/high deductible plans is that the employee is paying less money for the monthly premium and paying the other amount only, if and…

I usually give a generic response like others have mentioned. I have, on occasion, given specifics if the person looked really good on paper and they were questioning why they didn't get the job. An example that comes to mind is regarding salary re…

My policy is right in line with TXHRGuy's policy. I do, however, allow hourly employees to use vacation time for these days. I have also allowed them to work extra hours on other days to make up the time, especially if we have a lot going on, and w…

It has been 4 or 5 years since I did this but here is what we did (off the top of my head - I am trying to remember everything that went into the process): * Looked at the market rate for the postion the person was in - we networked with other compa…

I agree with the other posters that some sort of mentoring program or buddy system that pairs these people up will help you out. I also like the idea of training sessions that someone suggested. Not only will these help out your team regarding the …

I agree with BevHunt's assessment of this. Are you hearing rumors that she didn't have the surgery and was just out for 6 weeks of leave? Look at it this way, at least she took a vacation while out on this 6 weeks of leave. I have seen many employe…

I didn't see the letter you are talking about. I don't agree with bringing in "older" food, but we have quite a few people that bring in extra food if they have a party or event and have leftovers that they are not going to be able eat before it go…

I would audit all of the forms. If there is something wrong on the form, then have the employee complete a new form. Keep the old form with the new form. You will need to attach a letter to each that states you completed a self audit, found a pro…

One other thing to remember is that courts will look more favorably in your direction if you start the investigation within a timely manner. A couple of recent court cases I have seen talked about this being with in 24 hours of you learning about …

If you are a member of this website (hr.blr.com), they have some white papers, checklists, training guides, etc. about harassment investigations.

I agree with the author of this article about poor communication. Part of the reason I am really reluctant to utilize outside recruiters is because of a couple of things: 1.) They don't take the time to understand the requirements for the position …

I would hope that this story is not true. If it is then shame on management for allowing that to go on for so long!!

Wasn't the big deal for pizza delivery people regarding a national chain that had a 30-minute or less delivery or it was free guarantee? So many of their drivers were getting into accidents (a couple of them were killed and a couple of them killed …

Pammcconnell brings up some great points. One thing I would add is that even if employees are driving their own vehicles it makes sense for the company to get liability insurance in case of an accident. There are a number of recent court cases whe…

I will add this question to the couple of questions that TXHRGuy already asked you - What does your policy say regarding how the employee is supposed to turn in his/her time each day? If there is not specific instructions in your policy I would ch…

If it was communicated verbally that this was going to be OT then I say you should pay him OT. I would then go back to your policy manual and any documents you have about the Saturday work and revise them to say OT granted only over 40 hours worked…

Something else I forgot to mention - if you go back through the postings on this BB under Benefits and Leave you will see quite a few different discussions about PTO and PTO banks.

I am not in Ohio, but here is one thing to keep in mind. I was all set to switch from a vacation and sick leave policy to a PTO system until I found out that in my state you have to pay out for all unused PTO at termination. Currently we pay out u…

My recommendation would be to try to highlight the experience you have and also showcase the knowledge you have of HR laws in SC. I would also try to find out what the major areas of concern for that company are and then talk about your experience/…

It is my understanding from a DOT compliance company I worked with that if you have DOT drivers you are required to have a random DOT drug and alcohol test program. My previous company had DOT drivers. We used this compliance company to help mana…

I don't think this is necessarily true. I have done a lot of interviewing and I do think first impressions are important. However, I have had candidates that I initially liked talk themselves right out of a job the more time I spent with them in t…

With the possibility of this being an ADA issue, I think now is the time to contact your corporate attorney. I have read about cases going either way on the weight issue. I would follow the guidance of the attorney as to how to handle this one.
-
Are you/have you done this in the past with other employees? What is the reason for doing this - to off set the portion of the benefits premium that the company pays?
-
Have you disciplined this person in the past for behavior such as this? If so, then use that to show that you have given this person a chance to correct the behavior and she has not done so. Also, how have you handled situations like this in the p…

LadyAnn hit the nail on the head. Why does the company want to the pictures? Unless you have a business reason (like you work for a modeling agency) then I would stick with your application and interview guides attached to the resume. You are open…

Because of all of these issues SHRM is endorsing an Employment Verification Bill that was introduced in the US House. It is H.R. 5515 - New Employee Verification Act (NEVA). This bill would replace the current employer verification process with a n…

Vanessa - I sent you 8 documents via email. Let me know if you didn't get them.
