  • GOOD MORNING SHADOWFAX: I did a quick GOOGLE CHECK WITH MISSISSIPPI LAW ON CREDIT CHICKS BY AN EMPLOYER. The result was the following: "To obtain a credit report on an employee or prospective employee, the employer must provide a clear and consp…
  • NINA 1: Been there and done that, Harold is his name, and wage and hour investigation is his game. He really is a good federal employee and likes to enjoy coming to work every day and doing what he is paid to do. I find conversing with Harold to …
  • Maybe you would be so arrogant to broach the subject with the auditor while they are investigating other wrong doings within your company and really piss them off and start to sting you butt in many different places. I find the listening and lear…
  • NO "Dandy Don" you are not nuts and the W/A government did not say we would be involation of FLSA or anything like that. What was explained is that after 16 straight weeks of 32 hours and more, we would be subject to question as to why we were not …
  • rob: CALL YOUR LOCAL WAGE AND HOUR, Federal folks and ask them. Several years ago while undergoing an audit, the team leader of the interviews from their office, explained to me that their instructions from on high set their standard for judgement…
  • AND A SPOON FULL OF HR medicine will keep you alive and well in the HR arena for a long long time. Don't take more medicine when a little will do the job. In order to gain power as an HR it must be bestowed upon you by peers, followers, and leader…
  • MARY POPPINS: Welcome to the forum; this is one of those areas that HRs need to not be the "hour worked police". My company pays me to spend my time on more important issues. It is a performance issue and the responsibilities of the chain of auth…
  • The answer is yes, the totals are a building block and the amounts accumalate by the base unit and grows larger as the dollar amount grows. Thye cost per pig hour and the cost per pig shipped in my last post was just for the actual production unit …
  • This really is a great post! An additional way of calculating is cost of widgets (production) produced verses gross $ollars spent to get out one widget or 100s of widgets. We look at the total number of hours spent to produce a "piglet" which goes…
  • FRIDAYSOFF: Welcome to the forum, one does not normally go wrong in following "Dandy Don's" advice. PORK

  • SONNY: Just happened to have an x-employee who got selected to become a member of the local sheriff's possey on drugs. He was then able to also organize our security force as contract labor for evening shifts for their time we pay for their persona…
  • Craig: I am also looking forward to hearing the results of his employment. By the way don't be in a rush to get information, sometimes it takes a while to establish a report with the other employees so that there is a level of trust that they are …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-25-04 AT 01:30PM (CST)[/font][br][br]CRAIG Now that you have admitted to the cyber world that you have personal information which indicates 2nd shift is not drug free, you have a legal requirement t…
  • We too have one and we allow persons who are concerned with their health or daily feelings to get their BP check. When it is outside of their norm, we encourage the ee to go see his/her physician. As long as the HR person is not giving medical a…
  • JAMES/BRAD/WILLIAMS: What say you on the legal side of this post. Is there a litigation issue here or are we HRs joining the tribe and beating the drum of concern for litigation? This appears to be one of those mole hills that is sometimes taken …

  • ELLE: By OSHA standards every company is charged with the need for having a safe working environment and First Responder teams in work sites. Part of our program is the availability of a FIRST AID KIT, which not only provides for the treatment of …

  • KATHIHR: We have a corporate office in NC, but this division is set-up as a stand alone company with an HR staff in Mississippi. We have 15 different work sites in this division. Each site has a temporary working file maintained by the manager. …
  • TERRY: Welcome to the forum, glad to know we have a participant who is not an HR and willing to jump in and give us your input to HR issues. I teach to our leaders of the importance of understanding the specific behaviors of followers. Specific b…
  • HRH: I would pull anything that does not have her signature on it. Company mail does not have to be made available to the ee unless it is very positive. Handwritten notes that are written on evaluations and pay increase forms must stay and be rev…
  • NOT TO MENTION WEST NILE VIRUS, which is carried by mosquitoes who lay their eggs anywhere that might have moisture. OSHA AND STATE DEPARTMENTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY HAVE BEEN TELLING US TO PROTECT OUR PEOPLE OR WE WILL. Now lets walk the other…

  • TISH: Thanks for posting, if you had not wanted HELP "OH BABY,HELP" WOULD NOT HAVE APPEARED. There is never a dumb post only dumb situations where a fellow HR of whatever rank or status truly is in need of help, regardless of the circumstance, and…

  • TISH: Follow your policy and procedures to the letter and you will be alright. If a broken leg will get you terminated, as a medical disqualification then pregnancy will and should, likewise, be treated the same and be termed a medical disqualif…

  • AJPATTEN:I don't think you will find one; besides, it there is one it would be put out by a self centered organization. What college would ever put out a chart to show that eight (8) years of experience in the field of engineering would make you a …
  • I agree, I think there has been sufficient verbal communication with the individual and he has not made the first move to come in and put it in writing that he wishes to re-apply for employment. If you have witness to his disclosure to you that he…

  • The way I learned the use of these words was when my mother discussed the "Birds and Bees" with my sister and I at the same time age 13 for me and 11 for my sister. Man, what an embarassing moment for both of us; however, I did remember and I have …

  • "Dandy Don", does??? also mean that you were confused??? I think the issue has been resolved for now. EXPECTING, MATERNITY, PREGNANT, ALL OCCUR prior to Paternity based on the delivery date. I think you will concur with the use of these words in c…

  • SHADOWFAX: Boy, I am getting old and hard of seeing and reading, but I'm just confused. I can not find the word PATERNITY written anywhere in the original post. I take it you read something in the post about being a parent, thus PATERNITY came i…

  • GJOHNSON: I went to the web site to review our policy and procedures for a expecting mother employee who does not qualify for FMLA, which would throw our procedures for this employee into the same situation that your company is presently in. For a…

  • BOY, if $80,000 was the figure working for you, then I need to be knocking you off and moving back to Jackson to take your place. Giving up my home, security with the pigs, and a loving wife might not be such a bad idea for $100 grand plush positio…
