  • Beautiful baby - love the hair!! Congrats!
  • Aingram - I was in your situation a little over a year ago so I can relate. The "take a deep breath" advice is great and so is talking to others who worked with her. Be prepared to get alot of complaints and find out things probably weren't done a…
  • I had an experience with a former boss... I worked for him for several years and felt that I had gone as far as I could in my position. I asked him if he felt there was anyplace for me to go within the organization and he assured me there was. In…
  • I have another... Employee demanding the health insurance plan pay for him to obtain a partial set of dentures...why? Employee has gone to Emergency Room 3 times this year because he doesn't chew his food all the way (presumably from missing two t…
  • Here's one that comes to mind... In my role as HR at a former employer, I came to work one morning (10/31) to find an employee who shaved just the front portion of his head and painted a swastika (sp?) on his forehead in permanent black marker. He…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-11-03 AT 07:29AM (CST)[/font][p]I have run into the same problem. In fact I was recently talking with our Plant Manager and informed him that we should get certified in babysitting for our jobs. Not…
  • I grew up in Milwaukee but now live just north of Wausau. How about you?
  • Melissa - I'm from Wisconsin as well so I COMPLETELY understood your terms!
  • Don - Huber is a work releas program through county jails where inmates are allowed to leave jail to go to their jobs. They pay a fee for this privilege and are allowed one hour before, and one hour after, their shifts end to report to work. As fo…
  • I wanted Ruuuuben to win and as you all probably know, he did. I agree with HRSage regarding the type of music each sings and have to admit I watched the show from the beginning. My husband is a huge music fan and had the surround sound on VERY LO…
  • While I can relate to your situation the one thing I always keep in mind regarding huber inmates is at least you KNOW where they are when they aren't working!!! Gotta look at the glass half full!
  • Okay - my worst interview was several years ago... I called an individuals to interview for a factory position, he shows up in black sweatpants, a black t-shirt, Packer hat and tennis shoes with his feet falling out the side. He plops down and inf…
  • I used to work for a company whose owner really "took the cake". I was hired as the "office manager" but truly had very little authority. My office equipment consisted of a word processor (remember them), an adding machine and a one-line phone. A…
  • I have two - The first was several years ago - I was hiring factory employees for a manufacturing company. I received an application from the son of one of our workers and decided to call him in for an interview. He reports for the interview in s…
  • When I saw your request, I immediately thought of several but one always sticks in my mind when I think about people missing work. My former employer was a manufacturing company that has a "no fault" attendance policy. Employees were given a telep…
  • Yes I received it and I thank you very much!!
  • We have had one for quite a few years. We are a smaller company (120 ees) and have about a 40% participation rate. We provide dinner for the employee and one guest, two drink tickets per person as well as numerous raffle prizes. We also have a DJ…
  • Our warning forms have a spot to record what type of warning it is (oral, verbal, etc.). It also has a space for the supv. to indicate what the behavior was, what needs to be done to correct it and what the next step will be if the behavior is not …
  • Just sent ours to you. Hope it helps.
  • Just a general VP and Exec. VP job description.
  • I agree with Mwild31 regarding the wage loss. If you return the employee to a position that pays less than their previous position, they may continue to get TPD (temporary partial disability) payments which will increase the cost of that claim and …
  • Do you have an attendance policy in place that addresses no call/no shows? If not, you should create one!! Do you have an EAP? If so, do you have a mandatory referral provision? How have you handled employees not reporting for work in the past? …
  • Our policy states that any employees with write-ups will be allowed to establish a clear record within a "reasonable" amount of time. This timeframe is typically six months. Although the write-up technically remains in their file, if there is anot…
  • I believe, and I could be wrong, that you can send a copy of their W-4 form to the IRS. In fact, I believe if you feel the EE is claiming too many exemptions, it is your responsibility to send the form. Double check on the IRS website and you can …
  • I believe the business calculated the commission and paid on that.
  • I believe it is normally two years but is extended to three if the problem is found to be intentional. As for wages, again I think it is the actual wages lost but is increased if the infraction is found to be intentional.
  • Diane - Where in Northern WI? I am in Merrill.
  • We do not pay for the drug test, either. Regarding the other procedures, I would recommend paying them for their time completing this process. Since you aren't in when the shift starts that first day, going through the new hire paperwork prior to …
  • We have a formal flextime policy that allows our bargaining unit employees to make up their time during a workweek. There are guidelines to be followed as well as a specific process to get it approved. There are also limitations. We have been doi…
  • Yes, they would still get the same pay regardless of whether or not they came in late, leave early, etc. Yes, they would still be eligible for OT pay. The problem here is that we have a very small group of individuals (13 total) and only two are n…
