  • Again, each state is different, but in North Carolina, you can't admit anything as evidence unless the person who documented, heard, saw, etc. it is there. You may want to bring the programmer with you to explain how they found the lack of activity…
    in fighting unemployment Comment by JulieP July 2003
  • I would say that without a written policy, you would also have to look at what they have done in the past. Have other employees had this many absences? What did they do? But, I would think, even without a written policy, or especially without one…

  • Thank you. I had almost forgotten that.
    in OSHA Regs - for over 50 employees Comment by JulieP July 2003
  • We are just the opposite. We have been between 50 and 100 employees for a long time and have recently gone down to 43. I haven't even thought about not having to enforce OSHA regs now. Does this make a difference. I thought OSHA was enforced whe…
    in OSHA Regs - for over 50 employees Comment by JulieP July 2003
  • I've been in different companies who do it both ways. Personally, I like for payroll to be in accounting for the checks and balances, as someone else pointed out. Keeping connected with HR isn't a problem if it is done correctly. The accounting d…
    in Do you do payroll? Comment by JulieP July 2003
  • We don't require any proof, we use the honor system. But, I do make a note on their attendance card stating who died in their family so that if they have 20 grandmothers or 5 mothers, etc. pass away, we know that something is wrong.

  • I'm proud to say I'm on the same forum as you! Good job. I'm glad I'm not the only politically incorrect HR person out there. xhugs
    in HUG ME! Comment by JulieP May 2003
  • Thank you, thank you, thank you! I thought I was all alone in the forum. You said it perfectly.

  • I really didn't mean to offend anyone and I didn't mean to stir things up this much. Contrary to what everyone seems to believe, I don't go around trying to convert people. I would never use my position as HR Manager to try to force someone to lis…
    in Religious Affiliation in Public Announcement Comment by JulieP May 2003
  • OK. I just had to say it. I just read the post where Don said, "Then I hugged her. I also brought her flowers the next morning. The card said, "God works miracles". Then, everyone congratulated him on what a good person he is. But, somehow, ever…

  • I have two bibles because there is the one that I brought from home that I have always kept on my desk and there is another version that an employee gave to me. I hate to remove that one since the employee gave it to me. I have never had a compla…
    in Religious Affiliation in Public Announcement Comment by JulieP May 2003
  • There are no hard feelings here. And just for the record, as I said in my last post, I am not extremely outspoken. My Christianity comes out through the way I act and other expressions (I don't cuss, I treat people fairly, etc.) I have never disc…
    in Religious Affiliation in Public Announcement Comment by JulieP May 2003
  • Ok, maybe I made it sound like I am constantly talking religion. I'm not. If the proper chance comes up to witness to someone, I try to do it. I feel that is my #1 job. But, I would never put someone in the position of feeling like they have to …

  • >Religion is a hot topic that needs to be >left out of the work place. Ok, I'm going to say something here that will probably make some of you mad. I am a Christian and proud of it. I wear a cross on my necklace and a religious charm…

  • We are using PeopleTrak. It is very simple to use, comprehensive, and less expensive than most of the others. We are also a manufacturing operation with 55 employees. When I looked into software for this company, I got demos from several differen…
    in Which HR Software System do you use? Comment by JulieP April 2003
  • I have been to seminars within the past year, hosted by the INS. You have to wait until they are hired, then it has to be filled out within the first 3 days of employment.
    in I-9 form Comment by JulieP April 2003
  • I know this is a long post, but I thought I would just copy my attendance policy into the post. We are a manufacturing operation with approximately 60 employees. We have had this policy in effect since January 2001 and it seems to be working as pl…
    in Writting an Attendance Policy Comment by JulieP April 2003
  • With a name change, you can either have them fill out a new one, or complete the third part of the form. Make sure that you see the proper documentation to go with the name change. You do not need a new I-9 for a change of address.
    in I-9 QUESTION-- REALLY NEED HELP!!!! Comment by JulieP April 2003
  • When she was hired, did she agree that this would be part of her job?
    in Employee not wanting to travel Comment by JulieP April 2003
  • I keep seperate files on each employee. You can buy files to do this from places like g'neil, but I decided to go the cheaper route (I work for a small company). I have a hanging folder for each employee. In the hanging folder, I have a manilla f…
    in Retention of Background and Reference Checks Comment by JulieP April 2003
  • I know that in NC, meals and breaks aren't regulated. As one person put it in a seminar, you can legally work employees 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without a break. But, that would be crazy. Since it seems there aren't any laws about meals an…
    in Are employees req'd to receive a break? Comment by JulieP April 2003
  • As I've said many times... a big part of the HR job is babysitting adults.
