I don't think there is anything wrong with people eating goodies that have been placed out in the open. If you didn't want others eating them then they should be stashed away where only the people "allowed" to eat them can get to them. If someone …

I have always kept investigation notes and documents seperate from the personnel file. If the investigation resulted in disciplinary action, you can put that action form in the personnel file, but you don't have to put the notes behind the investi…

I, too, have looked at the salary requirements of the resumes I am getting to get a feel for what the market is paying. We also have a website here in MD that gives some salary ranges for different positions. I also keep in touch with a couple of …

I agree that someone above the payroll clerk needs to make the decision. If I had to answer your question I would interpret it this way - since 0-2 years gets 120 hours then when someone hits their 3 year anniversary they should get the 160 hours. T…

I do think that this WC example (musical chairs) would get approved in VA.
-
cappy - VA has some very unique wording in their WC laws. I have worked on VA WC claims before. I have seen many be denied for different reasons. Case in point - someone came to me saying she hurt her shoulder doing her job (repetitive motion job).…

I like TXHRGuy's approach to this if you don't have an EAP. I agree with the other poster that this could be something entirely different then bulemia that you are unaware of (pregnancy, serious illness like cancer, etc).

I have used UHC in the past. One of the biggest reasons we switched from UHC to anothr carrier was because of the network. UHC seems to have a good network around the cities and larger towns but if you are in a rural area they seemed to not have a …

I understand the need to go green. We have initiated some things here at my company as well, but lets look at the overall picture here. The company is trying to do a good thing for the environment but it has backfired in other areas. You have employ…

I think you have two options - 1. Termination or 2. Have the manager make sure she only works the hours she is supposed to. If she works 8 to 5 with an hour for lunch then the mgr makes sure she starts work at 8am (and not a minute before), leave…

I don't think I have ever had a harassment case that was simple! I haven't had two cases that were alike either. They all have their own messy webs to them!
-
I don't think you can keep this from the head of the company. It is their company and they have a right to know what is going on.
-
I wouldn't give any information to the private investigator. If they need the information bad enough they will find a way to go get a court order to get the info. I don't ever give out information without the employees written consent. If it is a …

Here is a word of caution to you as you try to go paperless - You need to be concerned about data security for confidential items that you are storing electronically. You need to see who has access to the data on the network. I can pretty much sa…

There are some really good changes and then many things they didn't fix. Right now I say we need to be thankful for some of the good changes, as most of the other employment laws that Congress is considering right now are not very employer friendly…

There are some good points and things that still didn't get cleared up. There will probably be a lot of information coming out in the next few weeks on this. I know that this website (hr.blr.com) has put together some articles. SHRM is having a we…
-
I don't have a checklist for you, but here are a few things. 1. You are not required to pay hourly employees. As far as salaried employees, if they work at all during the week then you are required to pay them. 2. Is there a way that these emplo…
-
If your exempt employees have worked at all during either of those weeks and have no leave time available, you will still have to pay them. If your non-exempts don't have leave time then they will not get paid.
-
I don't see anything wrong with this. You are paying based on senority and rewarding commitment and loyalty to the company.
-
I have heard of this being done before, although I think it makes for a very awkward situation. You are very likely to end up not learning that much information as the person may be very bitter about being asked to do this. In my opinion I don't t…

In the past we have given a set amount to every employee. The only exception is if someone had not been with the company for the entire year. In that case we would prorate the amount for the time he/she had been with the company. I agree with ohe…
-
I agree that you really need to think this through - or more likely - give the new manager some food for thought. What is the reason behind doing this? What are you going to do with the information? Do you have a policy that requires employees to…

I am worried about the EFCA. I have worked in an environment that was under attack by a union. I saw what an ugly situation that was. The union spun a huge web of lies about the company to our employees and customers trying to get the employees t…

Here are some things to look at from the employer prospective: 1. Shop around for office supplies - a great example is printer toner. I had my receptionist shop around online to find the best price for the toner. Before we did this we ordered it al…

If you are talking about an IT technical writer then I would try dice.com. Technical writer is one of the job classifications you can search for in their database.

Maybe it is time to adjust your max pay range? Have you done any research to make sure your pay range is still appropriate for the market conditions and the work being done? Are you doing COL on top of an increase at performance review time?

I almost put the links in the last email. Now I am trying to find them again. Here are a couple: http://www.fedsmith.com/article/1742/ http://www.ssa.gov/pressoffice/colafacts.htm http://www.federaltimes.com/index.php?S=3774238 http://www.myfederal…

Are you a privately held company? If so, it is really up to the company to decide what type of increase they want to give. If you are looking at COLA numbers there are a lot of different numbers to look at. On the federal side it was announced last…

You are welcome. I have seen on another board I post on some people debating issues surrounding this topic so I figured I would post this here in case anyone needed it.

efeldman - it is always better to be prepared! Here is a good link I found. It has other links that may interest you, especially since you are not used to doing business in that state. http://research.lawyers.com/Mississippi/Employment-Law-in-Mis…
