  • We have certain contracts that require those employees assigned to those contracts work in the office. Because our applications are internet based & secure, all other employees can work from home.
  • I agree with the comments from both of you, but when I brought up those reasons myself and said that we really needed a business reason for the pay differential, I received a fair amount of pushback. Basically, the opinion is that: 1. We set the s…
  • Yes - thanks alot!
  • That was my thought, but I'm getting some resistance from upper mgmt-can you direct me to specific language within the act that I can show?
  • Ok . . . it's been interesting to see the reaction to my question and James, I certainly didn't mean to 'hit a nerve' with you! I do see where you are coming from but the flip side of that is-should other participants in the 'insurance pool' be lia…
  • The language in our policy reads: Hazardous hobby or Activity: Care and treatment of an Injury or Sickness that results from engaging in a Hazardous Hobby or Activity. A hobby or activity is hazardous if it is an activity which is characterized by …
  • Our new 401K plan was effective 1/1/05. We now have a 3% employer match, discretionary, that is contributed to the employee account the last paydate of the month following the end of the quarter. Even though this was explained to the employees dur…
  • Just to clarify - we didn't advise her how to use her FMLA, we just worked through her options & how it would affect other benefits, i.e. STD and so on. Mostly, she had quesions about pay, etc. She has not brought in her paperwork & didn't…
  • Thanks for the reply. I'm slowing building a library with books for managers/supervisors & others to utilize within the company, including programs on software, etc. I thought that if others found this program useful, it would be an easy way t…
  • We just started using the test and it's been an interesting experience-I agree it will take some time to get managers to evaluate the information provided correctly. I send a copy of the job description to Caliper & they use that to determine w…
  • I do know that comments were made to him about the hours he worked because the comment came back to me that he said 'he just felt he was too tired & didn't feel he could contribute much because of his tiredness'. . . and this is on the documenta…
  • I agree with the previous answers. If the employee wants others to know of his/her condition, that is up to the employee. Even with a signed release, you might have other employees bring up concerns about the sharing of such private information w/a…
  • We've had great luck hooking up with Universities e-recruiting. I've been able to go on-line & see resumes from recent grads, soon-to-be grads & alums & we've made some great hires!
  • Forgot to mention the Policy & Procedure Manual will be on each employee desktop (not printed) with hyperlinks etc. Maintenance and updates will be done only by 1 individual, but managers will be very involved in writing documentation.
  • Understood. . .The 'Mission & Vision' part is very brief . . . We've discussed and initially started out with the format of 'departments', but the 'service categories', or products if you will, span numerous departments. Rather than duplicatin…
  • Gene, Thanks so much for the information . . . I'll try to find out exactly what this applicant has in hand and go from there. JC
  • This is a foreign national with a work permit that is good for 1 more year.
  • Our company set up a new 401K plan eff 1/1/05 with a discretionary employer match of 50% of the first 6%. I deposit the employee contributions to their accounts on the same date as the pay date, so there is no delay. However, I've been instructed t…
  • Please e-mail me too [email]hr@informed-llc.com[/email] Thanks
  • One thing you may want to consider is doing a spread sheet showing the employees the cost of the premiums for the "old" plan and compare it to the cost of the premiums for the HD plan. You will be able to show the employees that while the deductibl…
  • Well, I had my own opinion, but I was getting differing opinions from some of the partners. Some thought he was doing a great job and some were concerned. It wasn't until I got into his office and saw everything that was going on that I had enough…
  • Ok. Yesterday afternoon, I got the letter of appeal from the state. The meeting will be next Tuesday and the Pres/CEO will be going with me. I have all my documentation, but I would also like to present that our findings after this manager left cl…
  • Just an update on the above. The Unemployment office called and talked to me 3 times last Monday to discuss this employee. The initial interviews were held because of some inappropriate behavior during a managers meeting in which this employee was …
  • I wanted to get something in writing, but the Pres felt we absolutely wouldn't get anything. I do however, have a very disjointed paper the manager wrote regarding how he wanted the employees to be notified of his leaving. He starts out with statin…
  • I have personal experience on this one . . . had carpal tunnel surgery many years ago with the incision on the palm of the hand, then participated in the study for the scope procedure and had it done by the dr who invented it. I would highly recomm…
  • Thank you so much for the quick answers. Any good resources for job description formats? JC
  • Thank you so much for your information. I appreciate your help.
