I think you keep it simple - "$1000 quarterly bonus based on current MBO's. Must have worked the entire quarter to be eligible for that quarter's bonus."

I do give a copy of offer letters and bonus/commission structures to my CFO. I do not give the originals to her. My President, CFO and I have an understanding that there are things regarding salary and compensation that we are aware of that no one…

I think you need to go to HR about this issue. At the very least, if the company has a good code of conduct policy then this could be fit in to inappropriate behavior under that policy. What position is your boss within the company? Does he have …

Regarding the COBRA forms, have you gone to your benefits broker or company administering your benefits to try to get these forms? I have found that they sometimes already have the forms prepared with state specific information and you just need to…

If there is concern about someone getting ahold of someone's address, etc. then could you put it in a shared folder that only the management team has access to?
-
Cappy - you bring up a good point that you need to find out if station equipment (and time) was used to make these postings. Does the department have computer usage policies that you can use to displine if you find out this is the case? TX - your f…

Cappy - Any update on this situation?
-
Cappy - I agree with TXHRGuy that counsel should be involved. I think the one thing you are going to find with public employees with regards to freedom of speech, especially public safety is that they don't have as much freedom as they think. I c…

It's funny how different people have different levels of success with the same recruiting sources. I have had no luck any of the times I have posted to craigslist.
-
SubGrapHR - I use a bunch of different recruiting sources to fill my IT positions - Careerbuilder, Dice.com, Linked-In, and Jobfox. The majority of my success lately has come from Careerbuilder and Dice.com. It seems like there is a lot of resumes…

Do you have a travel policy that states that if a change is made then the employee will be charged? Has this employee signed a document understanding this policy? My answer to your question is no. There are very few things that an employer can tak…

There is a lot of things related to this provision that are still up in the air and questions still to be answered. We are waiting to see exactly how the sample letters are worded from the DOL. I have participated in conference calls with my benef…

It is my understanding that the Department of Labor is looking at this to try to determine what they need to help employers with. I have contacted both my payroll provider as well as my benefits broker. Both are frantically looking over things to …

Some larger companies have in-house training and development departments that you may be able to apply for positions. A company I worked for previously would hire some individuals that had previous training experience, even if it wasn't in the sam…

[quote user="4valleypipes"]I was HR Mgr in your type of environment before. Our start time was 7:00 a.m. If someone clocked in early, that was there choice. Their time was rounded to 7:00 and they began the work day at that time. The rules in the…

SHRM is hosting a webinar tomorrow (Tuesday, April 28th) that is supposed to address the record retention issue.
-
What I have heard from some attorneys is that until there are some cases that go through on this that you should keep your payroll records indefinitely, especially if you have currently or recently had some law suits related to this issue.

We definitely have some interesting conversations in my house between the two of us. There are times we see things from two completely different angles. My husband loves what he does. Sometimes the phones and pager going off in the middle of the…

The department my husband works for does not do the testing either, although I believe at one time they did. The police department does do the testing. Cappy - I read on another post about you doing arson interogations. My husband does them as wel…

Cappy - My husband is a Captain as well! I will try to find out what his department is doing. Not sure what department you are a part of, but have you benchmarked with some of the larger departments in the state - Fairfax, Prince William, Arling…

My husband is in public safety and his department uses psychological testing. As far as I am aware, most departments are using these types of tests now due to the nature of the job. It has to do with the level of authority these individuals have, …

Most payroll software programs are able to track this.

Whether this was part of the original topic and posting or not, I think this is a good point as to the changes with the new regulations. I have been trying to read as much as I can on the new regs versus the old regs. So if I am understanding you …

TXHRGuy - I get the impresssion from the publications below that you can ask to see the SSC but aren't required as long as you get the information you need (in the form of a W4). This is from IRS Publication 15: 4. Employee's Social Security Number…

What have you done in the past? There are a couple of schools of thought on this. One is to have as little disruption as possible - an email to everyone saying X has decided to leave, we wish him/her best of luck in future endeavors, until a replace…

If I am following everything correctly, I think you need to ask for the absences that should have counted as FMLA leave, but were put against the attendance policy, to be counted as FMLA so if you miss something in the future you are not always worr…

I have heard of things like Winner's Circle, Peak Performer, Diamond Club, Platinum Club, and Elite Level.

[quote user="dmverderosa"]Oh gosh, everything about this post is incorrect. Please review the DOL site for guidance instead. [/quote] Not sure what you are referring to on the DOL site, but TXHRGuy's advice has been correct. If you need another …

Some states require personnel files to be located on site where the employees are working, so the answer is going to depend on what state(s) you are doing business in.

This is a situation where I think it is worth the money to have an attorney review all the facts of the case. There are a lot of things you need to consider, including how many other people are being laid off, how you came to the decision to lay the…
