At my previous company we had an New Employee Orientation Day. We tried to have new employees start around the same time and then within their first week we had this New Employee Orientation Day. Each department mgr. was responsible for a 30 minute…

Small company - under 100 employees. We allow our employees to carry over 80 hours (2 weeks) vacation a year. We also allow them to roll over 40 hours (1 week) sick leave each year.

I just saw a resume with the email address - name@iworkinmyunderwear.com

I have also received quite a few resumes latey written in the 3rd person. Is this something new that the "experts" are telling candidates to do?

I am not sure why they would say that it wasn't the best option for single women in companies. I currently have a High Deductible, HSA plan for my employees. For my plan, all preventative services (child well care, adult physicals, routine gyn vis…

This sounds overly complicated. If you are unsure about this program imagine how the employees feel. I just switched our benefits over to a high deductible HSA plan. It is my understanding that as long as you are consistent you can have different…

My current company does have employees share a room (also my last company did as well). We try to have single rooms whenever possible but if the expense is large for the room then we ask people to share. In fact, my President and Sales Director jus…

This is such a touchy area. We had an employee here that wanted to collect money for the employees to buy something for the owners. I had some employees coming to me saying that they didn't want or didn't have the means to participate and felt the…

Creative suggestions there TXHRGuy!! But what if this person is a female? Princess or Queen?? [:)]

If you don't want to use the title of director, maybe skip to VP of X department or area?

David - The first thing I was going to say (but you are already doing it) is to make the postings free for a limited time. People are more willing to try something new if it is free. The second thing is go to the organizations whose members are par…

We had a situation at our company as well. We locked our doors and gave all of our employees keycards to get into the office. We told all of our employees it was for their protection since we are in an office building with other companies and anyo…

I don't think you start off right away with offering more money or a bonus. I would bring the employee into your office and first of all find out if the rumor is true. Then I would try to find out what the real reason is that he is looking elsewhe…

I agree that you need to investigate this quickly. One thing that I would add is that you need to do some retraining with your managers. This should have been brought to your attention as soon as the manager found out about this in September. Ju…

It is my understanding that you can just update the one you have. You would just fill in the new name in Section #3 and then sign and date the form. If you keep copies of the forms of ID shown to you then I would make copies of the new ones and ke…

Unless there is a state law, then it is just based on policy. Hang in there. Even those of us that have been in HR for years have to ask questions every now and then to make sure we have something right. You will find that many people over the spa…

The answer to your question is dependent on your policy. Where did the Field Supervisor get this excerpt? Is it from your policy? Some companies have a policy that says unless you work both the day before and the day after a holiday then you will…

I work for an IT company. All of my Directors, Managers, Outside Sales (Account Execs), and Network Engineers have company provided cell phones (actually they are all blackberries). For those driving to and from customer sites and appointments we …

According to the article on HR.BLR.com about the new I-9 form being released, all employers should start using the new form as of 11/7/07. The article does say that DHS will be allowing a 30 day grace period to start using the form.

We have this same situation for the Thanksgiving week and here is how we are handling this: We are giving out our paychecks on Wednesday afternoon as most people are leaving for the day. Our checks are dated for Friday (the normal pay day) so if …

CTCarter - I think you are correct. I too have read somewhere that if you allow employees to solicit for one thing then it opens the door to having to allow for other things like unions. I also read that you could allow employees to talk about suc…

I looked into this for my company as well. What I found is that there are only a couple of states that require you to pay if someone gives notice. I can't remember what those states are at the moment, as my state (Maryland) was not one of them. …

I agree with Kockler that as long as you have a policy that state the email system is the property of your company and there is no expectation to the privacy then I think you are fine. I can understand why you would do this so that if a customer, …

A couple of questions for you: 1. Are you sure this employee used your company for a reference or did the company he/she applied with just call the last employer to vertify the information? There are many companies that will call the last couple o…

I am going through something similiar right now. We offer Aflac to our employees as well. One of my employees is saying that he never signed up for Aflac. There is a dispute between this employee and our Aflac rep because of how the paperwork was…

You can also look under Safety on this website for some power points, training tools, exams, etc. Here are just some of the topics you will need for the manual: First Aid, Lockout/Tagout, Electrical Safety, PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), Haza…

Good find GoPatsNH! That article is one of the better ones that I have seen. My CIO and I have been working on updating our Internet/e-mail usage policy. I sent him the article because I want to incorporate a few of the points into our policy. Tha…

I agree with HR36 and I would go one step further. I think you need to investigate this further. Someone has brought this to your attention and after you looked into it you found things that could ultimately affect employees and the employer. I d…

I think everyone else has made the point about investigating - that's a given. I guess I would go one step further and start getting all the evidence you need together on this manager. There have been a number of times in my career in HR that I ha…

Alright maybe it has been a long day for me but for the life of me I can't see the 27th pay period and the 3rd 3-pay month for 2008. I have looked and looked at my pay dates for 2008. My first pay date of 2008 is 1/4. The 2 months that have 3 pay…
