We have a 30-day waiting period. I don't really know why except that is what the owner decided before I started working here.

I may be dense, but what is the "Very Important Notice"? I just read an article on Cobra and it said that there are seven notices that can get sent out for Cobra. 1. Initial Cobra Notice: when the employee/spouse first enrolls 2. qualifying eve…

I talked with our insurance company and asked them what they wanted me to do. They told me that if the employee knew he wanted to elect Cobra then I should leave them on. If they didn't know or said no, then the insurance company said to just take…

That's how we use to do it, but now in addition to all that I send everything in the mail. I was told that if you didn't send it first class mail you can get in to trouble. I was also told to keep a spreadsheet of who I sent the notices to, what a…

Our sick leave policy is 7 days per year earned (4.67 hours per month). The sick leave is carried over to the next year and the maximum accrual is 280 hours. Similar to what you have now but not quite as good. A problem I have where I work is emp…

Vacation time is a gift, you can do what ever you want!

The only thing that you can buy at a drug store that is covered is contact solution. If that isn't true then I've got lots of receipts to turn in!

Thanks, I will make a phone call today.

That's a good one! :-)

we just had this situation happen to us with the Memorial Holiday. I had to think about it for along time and convince my boss that we should pay him for the holiday and we did. I felt good about it.

He definitely doesn't have to take the week off. He said that he already bought airline tickets, etc. and wants to take it off without pay. I was actually really surprised that he still wanted to take his vacation since he ran out of time off to u…

We had an employee who had to have about three operations in a row and he didn't have enough time off to cover the whole time he was out. About 5 employees privately came to me and asked if they could donate a some of sick hours to this employee. …

very helpful replies. Thank you. x:)

"We print the porn and post it on our company intranet and bulletin boards and poll our employees as to how severe the punishment should be." Oh, now that is funny! I wish we could do that. x:D

we have 10 paid holidays (two of which are floating). We also offer vacation, sick, and personal leave. We did the birthday as a holiday one year when the company was small and what a pain, I would not recommend that idea.

Why does everyone give Don such a hard time? I think that everyone takes things way to personal around here. If you don't want all kinds of answers then don't post. Don, I appreciate your willingnes to post. I think you give good advice and you …

We don't have PTO because 1. we pay out vacation/personal time when the employee terminates and 2. we want employees to stay home when they are sick. If it was all lumped together I know half of our employees would not stay home. We also have no m…

I have Descriptions Now and I ordered it from G-Neil, but I know that other HR companies sell it. It was very helpful for our company, although no description was a perfect fit, but at least we didn't have to start from scratch.

I bought some software from G-Neil about 6 years ago. It was pretty cheap and easy to use.

Where I work we allow our employees to have flexible work hours. We can come in anywhere between 6am and 9am. Anything after 9am (unapproved) is tardy. I know this can't be done at every place of business, but it works great for us and we have ve…

Thanks for the responses. Right now we don't allow employees to cash out vacation time, but it was brought up and I thought I would look into it. All of your responses have been helpful. Thanks!!!

When I asked this question I was having an incredibly bad day and I was ready to quit, but things are better now. I really love HR and since I have to work, then this is something I am happy doing. Although, I think I'm in need of an assistant. An…

If any of our employees who drive on company business have an accident they are taken off our insurance. You did the right thing.
-
Thank you for all your advice. We have found out that there is one HR person who this employee will trust, so she has already started the investigation and we are going to consult our lawyer. Aparently this employee holds grudges and has been bitt…

That's one thing I love about this forum...all the opinions. Thanks for your advice.

I would say that we are caving to his request. Thank you for your advice Don.

I use the 10-minute HR Trainer also and I have found it to be very usefull.

When an employee hits their 10 year anniversary they get a gift (worth about $500) from the company. Every five years they get additional vacation time, up to 20 years with the company. We have only had one employee make it 20 years (the company i…
