Ours is available when age (at least 55) and years of service (at least 10) equals 65 or more. It is a liability but it is entrenched here and the boss will take advantage of it in a few years, so it will not go away. The FASB is 106 and you will ha…

Ours is limited to one and a half times the annual accrual, and that is the maximum carryover into a year, meaning that employees might go above the max in November or December but have to get under by year end.

I got a call today from the HIPAA section of the insurance company. Turns out the rep I spoke to did not know what she was doing and gave me incorrect information. Please disregard my question, and if the moderator would like to delete it that would…

I always thought of the arrangement like this: I will ask questions when I need help or advice, and in return I will voluntarily answer questions and offer advice for others. There are some basic questions posted and I have taken a minute to answer …

We offer $400 for full-time and $300 for part-time, after the new hire has worked 60 months and providing the employee who made the referral is still employed. HR and hiring managers are not eligible.

They may be referring to the Dept of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Controls list of Specially Designated Nationals and blocked persons. The Patriot Act requires financial institutions to check those wishing to open accounts against this list, …

I think that backing up "supervisors and managers with legal support" might include ensuring that they are trained to handle complaints and to document as necessary. But I do agree that complaints should be handled by immediate supervisors whenever …

Lisa, What do you mean, "the death of Elvis?"

If I understand the situation correctly,the tract is in the toilet stall, perhaps on top of the toilet paper holder? Seems gross to me, and certainly isn't sanitary. I wouldn't touch it. And, why would anyone want to put it there anyway, do many peo…

Thanks. If you were interviewing someone with a two or three-year gap on their resume, would you ask what they did during that time? I always have.

They want her high school graduation date, which was eighteen years ago.
-
The school she attended probably has a student visa expert who can help you. Optional Practical Training allows students and former students to work for a year, either while they are studying or after graduation. The H1-B is a separate issue.

If I were one of the three employees falsely accused of coming to work drunk and you published the accusation in the company newsletter, you would see me in your office very angry and very quick. Then you would hear from my lawyer.

In Illinois we have to pay out unused Vacation time but not unused sick time. If they are combined into PTO, they would both have to be paid out, and we would have an additional expense. This is required by state law, though, so yours may be differe…

What exactly is the "mismanagement?" If it's fraudulent, of course you can let them go. If it's borderline fraud, like check kiting, you can let them go, too, but that would be covered by your fraud policy. If it's a pattern of bounced checks, a war…

I think it is state specific, since it is not addressed by federal law and is addressed by state law in some states. In Illinois it's the Personnel Records Review Act. The information posted above by people in Illinois, including the 12 months after…

I guess it could depend on the amount of the loan, but I can't imagine the amount of the interest would be worth the trouble of calculating and collecting it or the ill will it could cause.

Thanks everyone. I guess it's far more common than I thought, but I've never worked for anyone who did it like that. I'm curious about two things: 1) Do you keep track of all of your employees' commutes in order to make sure they are subtracting tha…
-
I don't think the normal commute should be considered, because the normal commute wasn't made.

Thanks for replying and sorry if my language was too strong. Let me give you an example that might better explain my frustration: You live 20 miles from the office and I live less than a mile away. We both go to a conference that is forty miles away…

Did Lisa say what the purpose of the "calling card" was? Was it a death threat, a romantic advance, a joke, or what? Without that I wouldn't know what to do.

I asked why he didn't request feedback and he said that people complained about things outside his control, such as uncomfortable chairs. Either that or they were too timid to criticize anyway and just gave all positive marks. Circle all of the 5s a…

We do it when we fire someone for poor performance. It's worth it to get them out the door and to avoid 2 weeks of bitterness and disruption.

Distance between our branches is on the bottom of our expense report. It's easier that way. It was there before I arrived and I like it. I have trouble remembering to set my odometer before every trip and noting the mileage afterwards.

Last time I was in Wal-Mart the cashier wouldn't accept a coupon I had that was one-week expired. I was a little miffed because I knew that the vendor would still honor the coupon, and so would any grocery store. (Having worked at a grocery store, I…

Just fire her.

You mean I can't take a day off to take my daughter to the zoo? How about KiddieLand? How about the Friday when my friends are flying in to visit? I think the policy is ridiculous and I'd raise hell if my boss tried to introduce it. You know, I only…

I wouldn't get mad at Robert for giving tickets to his parents. Seems like a nice thing to do, and perhaps he gained more satisfaction from doing that than he would have gained from attending himself. If so, how can you hold it against him? If you h…

I agree with Steve and have been in a similar position recently. The rating category was "Displays an 'extra mile' attitude." The problems are that that will mean different things to different people, and more importantly, the attitude displayed is …
