1. when employees complain about anything free. We have door prizes at our safety meetings and some people complain that they, "never win". or one time Merrill Lynch came and brought everyone pizza and a handful of engineers complained that all t…

I just turned 30, can I be in you 20something group??? I've been in HR for 7 years (right out of college) and I am constantly learning so much. That's why I like my job!

Elaine from Sinefeld. She does the things that I would do if I had any guts.

One of my co-workers is in the National Gaurd and he left last week and will be gone for at least one year. It has been very hard for everyone around here. We have a picture of him in his uniform on our company bulletin board in our lunch room and…

I just read somewhere an idea for people who have long commutes because of traffic. The suggestion was to join a gym that was close to work so you could avoid the traffic during the rush hour and get your workout in. Something to think about....

I read this quote about a month ago and decided that is would be my new year's motto to live by...“May we never let the things we can’t have, or don’t have, spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have.“ -Richard L. Evans

One Christmas in High School I worked at the mall with the Santa's and there was only one Santa that I would have put my kid (if I had one) his lap. All the other ones were really, really creepy.

The last time we had layoffs I was joking around with upper managment that we should do it "Survivor style". How fun would that be? Vote off your least favorite co-worker. I could have fun with that one! x;-)

I love that fact that I am constantly learning new things! This is definitly a job that you will always learn and grow. And then after I learn new things, I get to teach it to try to make our company the best it can be.

we have about 75 employees and our policy is 3 days of bereavement leave for immediate family members only (spouse, spouse’s mother or father, or the employee’s father, mother, child, brother or sister). For anyone else, the employee can use person…

I have a telephone policy and a driving policy that I just updated. I could email or fax you a copy if you get me your email or fax number. email me at [email]lbaer@reidashman.com[/email].

When I do new employee orientations I always mention that you get paid time and 1/2 for hours worked over 40 and I have had quite a few people tell me that that was not the case where they previously worked. Very interesting....

I have only heard this once and it was at the last HR conference I went to. I asked the lawyer who I was eating lunch with your same question and he told me that you should have exempt employees keep track of their time also. He gave the example of…

I don't have a job description to give you, but you can try the software Descriptions Now. Most companies will let you try it for 30 days and if it has what you need it can be very helpful.
-
Legally you have to pay him OT for any hours worked over 40 in a week. As far as what his status is, it just depends on what the company wants to do with him.

6 years ago when I started working for the company that i am at had the policy of having the employee clock out. the reason behind it was so the clock would start ticking for workers' comp coverage. Since then, we have decided just to let them sta…

have you thought about using a temporary service? sometimes it is worth the extra money. they will do all the work for you.

At the end of each year we show them how much was spent on their insurances (health, dental, life), vacation, sick, personal, 401(k) company contributions, jury duty, bereavement leave, and any bonuses that were given that year.
-
Yes. The biggest our company has ever been is 120 employees and in the past few years we were down to 60 employees. Our insurance broker recommended that self funding dental is a lot less riskier than self funding health when you have that few empl…
-
We are fully insured with our health but we are partially self insured with our dental. Meaning we pay Blue Cross a small fee per employee for Blue Cross to take care of all the paper work and we just pay the bill in full. Does that make sense? W…

We are in a similar situation where everyone generally works 9 to 11 hour days, 5 days a week. Overtime is after 40 hours worked (so holidays, vacation, etc. is not counted) but we just pay everyone 8 hours for holiday pay. If someone takes off an…

I'm a little bit confused by all your questions, but as far as the last question goes, pre-existing conditions are covered as long as the employee didn't have a break longer than 63 days of no coverage.
-
If I understand your question then I am going to say that there isn't any rules to how long open enrollment is but generally it is for 30 days. I usually tell employees that open enrollment is every January (or whatever month it is) and I try to le…

We outsource our flexible spending accounts with Wells Fargo. Each employee pays a $2.08 service fee each paycheck and Wells Fargo does all the work. It seems like a lot of work to do it in house with all the new HIPAA regs. It's really no cost t…

I wish we did. If you haven't already, I would try doing a search on the website. Good luck.
-
I thought I was saying no when I told him we weren't interested the first time. I guess I will have to be more clear.
-
COBRA is the full amount plus no more than a 2% service fee. If you have to change plans then they will have to pay the new amount. It sucks having to give that bad news, but that's life. Good luck.
-
Maybe in the future you should only accept cash or cashier checks. For us if the check is late, they get canceled. Whenever someone elects COBRA coverage I tell them when the money is due and that they have a 30 day grace period and if their healt…

We are a small company (about 80 employees) and I do the same thing. I think that in the long run I save time because most people know that they want the insurance and I can answer all their questions right there and usually I have fewer problems i…
