  • In North Carolina moles are an endangered species. If you kill them you are suppose to report it to the agricultural department. Yea, right.

  • Boring soap opera name - Marie Marshall. Exotic name might have some flare though - could be Candy Marshall, Precious Marshall, Frisky Davison, Cookie Marshall. Just an aside, can anyone tell me how to use the emotion icons?

  • I work in a long term care facility for children and we have a casual dress code. We get applicants whose dress embarrasses me. I love the new low rider pants that reveal way too much of their backside for me. I had one last week where I could ac…
  • I have two "good" boss stories. 1. I had a boss who received a substantial bonus and divided between himself and the 3 of us that he supervised. Said he wouldn't have gotten it without us. 2. Had a boss at a bank who was sitting in her office a…
  • What do you mean I'm tardy? There's a seven minute grace period! But no one told me that I couldn't wear a see through shirt and no bra.

  • Franfields Hope you've checked the SHRM website. Last time I checked (and I check it everyday) there were 13 openings listed in NC. Several in the Charlotte area. I've been in NC for 30 years and love it.
  • My younger sister use to always think that the Elton John song Tiny Dancer said "hold me closer Tony Danza" instead of "hold me closer tiny dancer." By the way.. I always thought it said, "you and me and Leslie" too. Never even considered anything…
  • Those are two great movies. My favs would have to be "Big" with Tom Hanks, "The Long Hot Summer" both the old and new versions , "Sleepless in Seattle", "Vacation" "Twister".And I am sorry, but Joe Versus the Volcano has got to be one of the worst …
  • The funniest job application I ever received was one from a high school student. This applicant included in his application a recommendation from one of his teachers. Obviously, he did not read the recommendation because I can't believe anyone wou…
  • I have two pre-employment drug testing stories: 1. I had a sixty something employees test positive for marijuana. She said that it must have been the "asthma cigarette" that her grandchildren told her to smoke. 2. An employee tested positive fo…
  • We have the same policy and also allow the employee to bring a Dr.'s note. Harsh or not, if they want to be paid for the holiday they produce the note. I am amazed at how many lose the holiday where I work. You might ask the directors what they w…
  • My e-mail address is [email]horizonshr@yahoo.com[/email]. Thanks.
  • I think I would leave off the part about encouraging them to reapply in the future. I think you can end it with "we appreciate you interest in opportunities at...."
  • We are a long term care facility that operates 24/7. We offer employees $1.00 per hour shift diff for 2nd and third shifts and $.50 per hour weekend diff. It does need to be included when calculating overtime.
  • If you would like to send me your e-mail address I will send you a copy of ours. It is a "no-fault" point system policy that allows the employees to earn points back. It seems to work well for us.
  • I have an no fault attendance policy with a point system in which employees can earn points back that they've lost due to absenteeism. I can e-mail you a copy if you want to give me your e-mail address.
  • We don't have a bereavement policy but allow employees to take sick time for bereavement of immediate family. Immediate family stops at the grandparents. Aunts, uncles, cousins, brother/sister in-laws are not included. Mother/Father-in-laws are i…
  • We are getting ready to start an employee of the month (EOM)program. We are requiring it to be peer driven i.e. employee must be nominated by thier peers. A peer committee will select EOM. An employee can only be chosen EOM once per quarter. The…
  • What offends these applicants? I don't quite understand. Is it the fact that your asking for this information at all? We also have a separate EEOC tracking form that is voluntary at application and is separated from application as soon as applica…
  • We are required, because of our industry (long term care) to do criminal background checks on every applicant. We make our decisions on a case-by-case basis. If there are convictions that are related to what we do, i.e. larceny, assault, battery, …
  • My previous employer allowed this. The way our policy worked was that if an employee knew of another employee who was out of PTO and was out of work (for medical reasons only), that employee could donate up to 1 week of PTO per calendar year. Empl…
  • Because work for a health care provider, I am curious as to how the privacy standard applies to you. All the information I have seen also only addresses the health care industry and personal health information.
  • We do not have a written policy regarding this information but I can tell you what we do. We also require employees to provide proof of coverage in order to drive on company business or to drive our clients in our vehicles. They must provide proof…
  • Our policy says that two consecutive no call/no shows constitutes a voluntary resignation of their position. I would also suggest that if you don't have a formal attendance policy that you get one. I would be glad to share ours with you. Just send…
  • Ours are simple also. They read as follows: I, _________________________, acknowledge that I have recevied training and information regarding (whatever training we're doing). _________________________ __________________ Employee Signatur…
  • I agree with you except I think the rules say that if the employee is sick but has worked any part of the workweek they must be paid for the whole week - sick accruals or not. Of course, if they have sick or PTO accruals you can pull from them. Ye…
  • In North Carolina you can work an employee 24-7 with no breaks at all if you want as long as they are over age 16. Might want to check with your local DOL. I have found that they are very helpful and you don't have to give your company name.

  • I work for a non-profit in NC and we're getting 0% for the second year in a row.
  • Essentially, salary non-exempt is the same as hourly. You will still need to make adjustments if the employee's hours vary. For example, if the employee's salary is $400 weekly based on 40 hours and the employee works 42 hours, you will still have…
