I don't ever remove warnings from employee files, unless they were invalid and an investigations shows they never should have been done in the first place. Do you have a union contract that requires the removal? I do tell the employees who ask tha…

Nearly all our employees have computers, so I solicit nominations via email a day or so before the meeting and request "why" they are nominating this person. The exec staff votes for a winner. While there is little specific criteria, basically no …

You might want to add that employees must give minimum 2 weeks' notice in order to be eligible for the bonus if the quarter ends on a vacation day and they don't return to work. x}>

Yes, we hire relatives as well. Our policy is that there must not be a "conflict of interest" between the two positions, be it supervisory, or accounting/money handling, or something else. We used to let them work in the same department, but the o…

We send a company-wide email saying "So and so is no longer employed with the company and we wish them the best in their future endeavors." Discharge, vol quit, etc. - it's all the same.

Hi, We have 11 people in this position. They must be able to do financial statements as well, so we call them accountants. The range is from 34k to 48.5k. I'd guess your person would be in the top third.

Thanks everyone for sharing. It's so nice to have a place like this. I really like the "policy that says a manager who falls behind on performance appraisals is not eligible for a promotion or a merit raise." x:7

Congratulations! Persistence often pays off. Good luck with the new claim. I'm guessing someone who resigned for 75 reasons they never once mentioned...

Sounds great to me! When I tried to place an employment ad with AARP, they wouldn't even think of it because our company is less than 1000 employees.

Hi Gunstocks, I'm using ADP but don't have their HRIS (HR Profile software), so can't comment on that. ADP's reports and timeliness on payroll checks are terrific. IMHO, their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. After giving up on Tim…

I think that would be fine as long as she admits that she made the posts, however, she could claim that someone was impersonating her... Will "MySpace" remove your company name for you??? I heard they are being cooperative these days.

Hi Evan, I think what you are doing is fantastic, and I'd like a copy to when you have time. My email address is [email]hr1@rmillc.com[/email]. Thanks!

Where do you think the biggest area of "waste" lies? BTW, great topic! Likely you're helping many of us at our own jobs look like heroes. xclap

I'm trying to get online applications as well, and crossing my fingers that my IT dept can come up with some solutions. If they do, I'll let you know!

While I'm not sure this is wisdom, for what it's worth... I have the same procedure as Linda S. If you do a background check, that should be completed before you do the "medical" part of your pre-employment conditions, i.e. the drug test (and phys…

In our state, if the employee refuses the modified duty we offer per their doctor's recommendations, the employee is NOT eligible for workers' comp disability benefits. If the employee has issues with the duties and claims he can't perform them due…

Thanks, Rocky, for bringing up this topic. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to James! Please post pics of the camel rides. We have a voluntary birthday club, and innumerable baby showers (mostly women in our workplace). In the past few months we've had 2 bab…

I like to call it "modified duty." x:D If you read the Birthday-Baby Shower thread, you'll understand our workplace is very supportive of pregnant women. But they are still expected to get the job done. If you are setting a precedent (and have no…

Thanks for the update! I hope the angry ex-employee is done grasping at straws.

Congrats! It looks like you settled things fairly well. I was wondering why I didn't see a suggestion to ask her to return part time after 8 weeks?

Thanks for the heads up. I'm wondering if our company confidentiality agreement would cover this. I'll go back and read the legalese.
