I have an Excel spreadsheet that I use to calculate vacation based upon hours worked/paid. I am happy to forward it to you if you will send me a PM with your e-mail address.

There is a big difference with sharing a 2-bedroom townhouse than sharing a hotel room. For one thing, a 2-bedroom townhouse would have separate bedrooms and bathrooms. The only sharing would be in the common areas: kitchen, living room and dining …

In order to get me to post my job on your board, you are going to need to prove to me that I am going to get value for my money. I want to know your success rate and whether or not your board is relevent to my location. With advertising costs bein…

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any that are required to be in hard format but just as soon as I say that someone will come up with one! [:P] In other words, you need to check the regs surrounding the particular document you are considering…

I would be mad, too, because I would look at it that this person cost the company X for the conference cost, X for the hotel, etc. and I would know that it would come out of my profit sharing. Does your company require a trip report? If so, make …

LOL [:D]

At the beginning of each year, we issue a schedule when paydays will be. We are paid every other Thursday, EXCEPT... For Thanksgiving, we will be paying on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 For New Years, we will be paying on Friday, January 4, 2008. (W…

A little late, but one thing that I started doing was a Pumpkin Carving Contest. The first year our theme was "Company President". This year's theme was fairy tales. In the summer, I try and have a picnic/bbq on the company grounds. We had a big …

Sheila: That is dependent on YOUR company policy. Holiday pay (for the most part) is not required by law and therefore the employer gets to make the rules as to who does or does not get paid.
-
In order to be paid for the holiday, employees must work the full workday before and the workday following the holiday. There are two exceptions whereby the employee can be paid for the holiday. 1) If the employee has previously approved …

I don't know this, but I would think that this could only be done in states that allow a "use it or lose it" policy. If you are in a state that considers vacation "earned wages", I would think you could not do this. At any rate, I would not want t…

You might want to consider a temp agency for temp-to-perm hiring. We use one here. The temp agency does the advertising and screening and then sends you qualified candidates. Yes, you will pay the temp agency a rate of about 150% of the employee'…

Who is this employee's supervisor? I'm guessing a VP, President or CEO? That is the person who needs to deal with this employee. If you are in a lateral position, you will not be able to require that change be made. Are your beliefs about employee…

Agree with srallen that it depends on YOUR job description. I am the Finance/HR Manager for two corporations (owned by the same parent corporation). Currently, I only have about 85 employees, but at one time I had 250 employees. For example, my …

Thanks for the clarification.

To answer your last question directly: No, private companies do not have to be concerned with SOX. Other differences may include whether your financial statement is audited or just reviewed by an accountant; the relationship the BOD (Board of Dire…

Actually, you don't have to legally have the employees sign an acknowledgement that they received a copy. No law is being broken if they do not. I'm not saying that is a good idea. For one thing, if your employee has signed that they have receiv…

This is one reason why many companies have gone to requiring the employee to furnish their own cell phone and the company will reimburse you for the usage. It puts it on the employee to replace the items.

FL is an at-will state (which is what I think you meant since Right-to-work means that you can't be forced to join a union in order to work a certain job). So what the owner did is not illegal. Possibly stupid, but not illegal. I would tell you fri…

The way I read the original poster, I got the feeling that the statement about being from an "older generation" was more from practical experience of working with this specific person. I've been there, so I can sympathize. The former owner of the …

lesley1947, I think you hit the nail on the head when you said you can be friendly to people at work without developing close, personal friendships. The friendships that I have within the company are somewhat "arms length" and not super close. The…

Well that was really weird. I was typing the answer and my computer went crazy! Ended up posting twice and now it won't let me delete one of the posts. Ah, the joys of the internet! [:)]
-
For many years I felt the same. But I have a great boss (President of the company) who wants me more accessible to the employees. So now, I am constantly out of the production floor do "friendly" things. Saying "hi", "how are things going?", etc.…

But a RIF is always based on something. It may be seniority or other criteria, and unless I am reading the initial post incorrectly, this particular RIF was based upon performance. Yes, it is okay not to document the other issues, but it is better …
-
I would be totally upfront with the employee. "We are having to reduce staff in your department and you were chosen because of xyz performance issues". Because your documentation is not what it should be and you are not giving the employee the oppo…

Any chance you can develop a training schedule for both sides? Different kinds of training, of course. Maybe work on teambuilding type of training for the employees that management is not required to attend. Then have a different "teambuilding" tr…

You might want to check with your worker's comp carrier and/or your general liability carrier. They should be able to steer you in the right direction for your state.

Twice monthly would be more of a nightmare for me than it will be dealing with 27 pay dates this year. I work for a manufacturing plant where 90% of my employees are hourly. Trying to figure out OT when part of the workweek was under one pay period…
-
Before considering a change in your pay periods, you need to consider several factors. The first of which is whether or not it would be legal in your state. But also, you need to consider your workforce. I would never consider a semi-monthly payro…

If you paid on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, you would have 27 paydates in 2008. Because your first paycheck would either be January 1 or 2, 2008 and the 27th pay date would be on December 30 or 31, 2008. Because you pay on Fridays, your first paycheck …
