  • It might be awhile...we have an employee who has been out for the last three weeks and he is still out because of shingles.

  • From what you posted it does sound very fishy to me. The thing that stands out the most is that from what you wrote the employee didn't seem like he was a "problem" employee, he just had a few too many unfortunate accidents happen to him. I wouldn…
  • I'm probably not much help because we haven't done this with exempt employees, but I do know of companies that have made everyone in the company cut back their hours to 4 days a week or six hour days and the exempt employees all took a pay cut (cert…
  • There's a list of other options that they can give you for the I9, it doesn't have to be driver's license and ss#. The W4 on the other hand does need the ss# and I would tell him/her that they can not be put on the payroll unless the appropriate f…
  • thanks!
  • so, do you tell your employees the specific date when their computers are being checked? or do they just know that the IT guy will check them once a quarter? we also have a policy that says computers may be monitored and we had our policy checked o…
  • My problem isn't with a policy...we have a policy, it's with the monitoring side. Right now we have a manager who is abusing the policy (sending inappropriate emails to co-workders and who knows who else) and when the IT guy went to look at his com…
  • I second the Descriptions Now vote. It was helped our company a great deal!
  • you have to treat her the same you would any other employee...regardless of her single parent status. You are on the right track by starting the progressive discipline and keep it going no matter how much it hurts her or you. Other employees will …
  • Congratulations, that sounds like a great career move for you! I hope you don't have to stop sharing your great advice with all of us. I thank you for the many times you have helped me out xclap.
  • I'm going to take a stab at this question. I believe that you only have to have an I-9 filled out if they are going on your payroll. So, if your contract employee is being put on your payroll then yes, have them fill out an I-9.

  • Is it very often that people donate to others?

  • If I understand your question right, this is what I would suggest. Pay Days/Pay Periods Pay Status Overtime Time Cards/Time Clock Time off Requests FMLA Worker's Compensation Health Insurance Dental Insurance Life Insurance Cafeteria Plan…
  • No written policy here either but we send flowers and a card when there is a death in the family for immediate family members only which include: spouse, spouse's mother or father, or employees father, mother, child, brother or sister. We also sen…
  • We do background checks after we have offered the position and before we hire them. That is the best way to do it. We are careful on how we use the information that we receive. If it has to do with their position we won't hire them, ie. we requir…
  • Hopefully in your job description you have something that mentions good personal hygiene. This is a very sensitive issuse. Since his supervisor has been the one to talk to him, make sure he is the one to do it again, not you. you don't want "a lo…
  • We don't do this, but we did have an employee bring their 9 year old son to work and leave him in the lunchroom all day with a coloring book and pens. Her manager had to let her know that this was not appropriate. She tried to sneak it passed ever…
  • Don, you are funny! I think that is what Riley should do.
  • Balloonman said exactly what I was going to say. Having a job description while you interview is very handy for situations like that.
  • my email is [email]lbaer@reidashman.com[/email] or fax 435-986-6000. Thanks!
  • I agree. The engineers that I work with are all so nice but quirky. A very different bunch of guys. But they can't be all that bad because I married one of them!
  • Interesting...I think our whole company is overweight. Something that a lot of employees like to do is play basketball during our afternoon break. The employees get fresh air, exercise and they stay away from the vending machines. Maybe something…
  • I hope so...that is what we do. We only have a few people that don't work in the main office, and they have auto deposit, but we just mail them out in regular mail. Maybe you could overnight the checks only and send out all auto deposits by regula…
  • I agree with the above, there is no reason to have a policy that can't be inforced...especially if the "top dogs" are not going comply!
  • there has been a few times when we thought we had the perfect candidate, but it ended up that when we got resumes from people we never expected and they were better candidates. I know that it is a pain in the behind sometimes, but it is usually wor…
  • I do manager training usually twice a month. I have a binder full of outlines from everything from employment laws to how to delegate. I usually come to this website to get more information on the topics I teach. The meetings usually last about 3…
  • I also went to the seminar in Vegas. I thought overall it was very informative, but I agree that I wish we could have asked questions, because I had a lot. I got a few quetions answered at the lunch with the lawyers but everyone at my table seemed…
  • I agree with the above post. if you are going to put the sale reps on your payroll, then you have a lot of issues to take care of. Workers comp (very expensive for CA), benefits, state laws that differ from your state, etc. We have sales reps in …
  • Hatchetman, that was above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks!!!! Some very good points to think about.
  • If you look in the archives there was a thread a few months back on this same topic. I think it was called "alcohol @ company functions". It had lots of good ideas and suggestions.
