IMHO, a trip from CA to FL would be extremely beneficial to all HR personnel regardless of the quality or content of the conference. ;;) Seriously, I was also curious if to see such a conference would provide efficient methods for producing measu…

Exactly what are they wearing? Fatigues, army green tank tops under the jackets, camouflauge, full dress suits (or pieces thereof) with pins, ribbons, etc.? I understand your concern about wanting to be a patriotic company albeit with everyone wea…

I've instituted a policy with two different employers over the years when starting new jobs. I-9 document copies are NOT filed with I-9's, and the I-9's must be filled out COMPLETELY, with "N/A"'s so there are no blank spaces. Copies of any docume…

We don't do background checks on current employees, but I've done so in the past with other employers usually as a condition of a promotion or transfer. Is there a problem with the current employees and that's why the committee wants to check on th…

I think you need to use the same system for all employees with the same circumstances, esp. considering years of service. Off the top of my head, a suspension might give you a rest from her antics. I hope they haven't given her any raises recently…

I have spoken to her many times but she just doesn't get it. And a VP who doesn't get it is even scarier! She's not sulking too badly now. She gave me a card and a $20 gift cert for bosses day. But her job is hanging by a thread. IMHO, one writ…

We track both half-day and whole-day absences so their PTO gets docked fairly for all concerned.

Regarding the serving of legal docs - you might want to remind the receptionist, whatever HE/SHE signs for, they could be held personally responsible for ensuring that the order is carried out. We have several companies in our building and it ama…

Tsk tsk tsk. The only websites I've found include some very inappropriate humor and you have to wade through them to find what suits your workplace.

If the emails are well written, sincere and thoughtful, it might go over well in a high tech company. Short of that, I'd stick with paper cards (or calendars and donations! th-up ) with handwritten notes/signatures on the inside. I enjoy seeing th…

Our company has a tradition of direct reports going in on a Xmas gift for their supervisor and I've never heard any complaints about this. The baby showers are another story...

We have a service that does background checks on all our new hires and we have to approve an extra $10-$15 fee for this at least once or twice a week. It seems the very large employers tend to have this arrangement, but some smaller ones do too. T…

Regardless of whether we are lawyers, doctors, sailors, HR professionals, etc., sometimes we all need to laugh at ourselves. It was a piece of "fluff" that made me curious and venture into this forum many moons ago.

In case this helps, just brainstorming, you might compose a letter from the president for "all employees concerned about their ability to continue employment in the US" to be included in paychecks with contact info for a confidential company attorne…

Do you have a written policy regarding substance abuse, reporting to work under the influence, possession of intoxicants in the workplace, etc.?

Is this person's job position exempt or nonexempt from overtime?

Yes, a search is very wise. For starters, it could be asthma...ADA...

I get this question constantly in my workplace in an effort to avoid time and a half and merely pay straight time. 8-| IF you want to get into salaried nonexempt positions where OT is added to a fixed weekly rate as half time, do a search (for "sa…

Except us! xhugs

Good questions! I've just started to scan things to get rid of my enormous paper trail in a growing company, but when it comes to some documents I'm concerned. I hope someone has some guidelines. Thx.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-21-06 AT 03:05PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I'm puzzled here. If the employee's husband got out of jail a few years ago but the charges were just in the newspaper recently, those must be new charges against…

Greetings and welcome! Does this employee have a handicapped parking tag on her vehicle?

We have salaried nonexempt payroll. Believe me, calculating their weekly overtime is a timeconsuming nightmare and you don't want to go there if you don't have to. Our boss instigated salaried nonexempt after a DOL auditor said he could. It is no…

We didn't terminate him. We gave him some time off to take care of the warrant and he can return to work as soon as he does. I don't think it matters if it was a driving violation or not. I believe our ethics policy would be violated if we allowe…

I would have asked him to take care of the bench warrant and then come to work. Perhaps that is what we should do now?

I agree it's not legal to take them below minimum wage. On the employer's side, they probably have had a more than a few employees who "look the other way" when their friends drive off with a full tank they didn't pay for.
-
The employee would have to sign for the payroll deduction(s) - perhaps the company does not deduct the full amount? All of the gas stations around here have pumps that require payment before the gas can be pumped.

We have 210 employees and growing - adding about 5 or 6 positions per month. We do payroll and everything else HR. There are 2 of us, both degreed.
