Thanks Gillian, There is a very informative thread in the archive titled Personality Testing. Any new thoughts from anyone, of coure, would be appreciated.

I informed the officer that an interview would not be possible, but that if he sent over the release I could answer basic questions. We went from salary and dates of employment, to ratings in categories such as "attendance" and "reliability." The fo…

With Equifax the reports you can pull are "Employment Reports." You aren't supposed to run a "full" credit report that includes any kind of ranking for employment purposes. Rough guidelines, subject to revision, for use: 1)Don't consider medical bi…

That is completely up to your company. You are not required by law to offer holidays or any kind of holiday pay. You might lose a lot of people if you don't, though. Many stores are open on holidays and some pay time and a half for those days, just …

I was the second male hired into a company of 40+ women (in more ways than one.) I have had difficulty because I am used to being very direct. The culture here, which may or may not be due to the female majority, involves being very cautious of the …

We do not post the grades because we've had too many problems in the past with comparisons. We also had people applying for jobs they were completely unqualified for because of the grade - they wouldn't even look at the position description as long …

Try to find a helpful and generous person at the international admissions office of a university. There are people who do that kind of an analysis full-time. You might also try [url]www.nafsa.org[/url]. Lots of experts there.

I understand that the eoe language can help in recruiting by making the company more attractive, and that it can be used the same way that one might mention a good schedule or nice match on the 401(k). I like the suggested language, especially for b…

Thanks for the replies. I will probably just start using it in order to appease the auditors. A check in Chicago Tribune want ads, where we advertise, shows me that only about 25% of the ads include the eoe language. What are the vast majority of us…

The GSA site may be useful. It has rates for hotels and meals and incidental expenses. If your per diem rate meets or is below these amounts you are fine. Any amounts above are supposed to be taxable income. If you require receipts the per diem rate…

It depends on your state and your policy. Federal law requires OT only for hours over 40 worked in a week. States may require OT for hours over 8 in a day and your company can be generous and count Vacation towards overtime even if they don't have t…
