  • You're the top! You're the Colosseum, You're the top! You're the Louvre Museum, You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss, You're a Bendel bonnet, a Shakespeart sonnet, You're Mickey Mouse. You're the Nile, You're the Tow'r of Pisa, You're the smil…
  • Agreed. If she is interested in reaping the benefit of FSA dollars, she ultimately has to give those dollars first. Spreading the deductions out, even through all of the remaining 2004 payrolls if necessary, is the way to go. #1 thing a consultant…
  • You're right from that aspect, but I'm looking more for a "fundamentals of employee benefits" type of class. My rep, while seasoned in other HR areas, is entering the benefits domain for the first time. This is what I have found so far, but I woul…
  • I would consider formalizing a maternity leave policy to cover the breakdown of eligible sick leave time versus the use of other paid/unpaid banks of time. Further, you need to describe the process and available options when an ee is not given medi…
  • The thing I enjoy most about this board, as opposed to others, is that there is NOT an option to post anonymously. I suspect many of those who get flustered with their fear of anything more than cookie cutter Q&A do so to keep from being associ…
  • From my quick research on BNA, E Wart is right. Oklahoma is a 'use the employee's federal elections to withhold for the state withholding. #1 thing a consultant shouldn't say: "I could tell you the answer right now, but we're committed to a three …
  • Our payroll person uses this website: [url]http://payroll.bna.com[/url]. It costs to get in there (maybe you can get a trial membership), but it is completely one stop shopping and will have this form (and many others for every state in the union.…
  • States with no income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, Wyoming. States with taxes on interest and dividends only (not wages): New Hampshire, Tennessee All other states = state taxes http://deephousepage.com/smilies/…
  • I would recommend sending him a case of 'Depends' or, as SNL used to call them 'oops, I crapped my pants...' oh wait... you said... incompetence... my mistake... #1 thing a consultant shouldn't say: "I could tell you the answer right now, but we…
  • While Foghorn was no doubt a significant influential figure (which could be said about most of the WB animated properties of the time) in my formative years, I was merely reciting the most famous interview questions from Monty Python's Holy Grail...…
  • Bridgekeeper: Hee hee heh. Stop! What... is your name? Arthur: It is 'Arthur', King of the Britons. Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest? Arthur: To seek the Holy Grail. Bridgekeeper: What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? Arth…
  • I bet its whooping cough! Break out the vicks! http://deephousepage.com/smilies/splat.gif[/IMG] #1 thing a consultant shouldn't say: "I could tell you the answer right now, but we're committed to a three month project..." #-o
  • Agreed, it sounds like you're describing a trade secrets agreement vs. a non-compete. You can put these in place after employment begins. Have your legal council draft up an agreement based on the specific business items you wish to protect. As f…
  • http://deephousepage.com/smilies/flamethrow.gif[/IMG] just kidding JM... #1 thing a consultant shouldn't say: "I could tell you the answer right now, but we're committed to a three month project..." #-o
  • http://deephousepage.com/smilies/banghead.gif[/IMG] I would recommend the book 'The Five Dysfunctions of a Team' by Patrick Lencioni. (Actually a good read for any HR person.) It tackles very specific interpersonal behaviors that lead to dysfunct…
  • Ok, so your internal general counsel thoroughly reviewed and approved the document and now they won't sign it? Further, the CEO reviewed and approved the document prior to its release and won't sign it either? Nice. I agree with the other poste…
  • I'm just on this kick... Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good, They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would. They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home. Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone. But I would not …
  • Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? I seen you 'round for a long long time I really 'membered you when you drink my wine Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we…
  • yes and yes, spanning years 2000, 2002, 2004 #1 thing a consultant shouldn't say: "I could tell you the answer right now, but we're committed to a three month project..." #-o
  • Indeed... As is in vogue with corporate america, I would conclude our discussion without admission of guilt or innocence, and business will go on... My two most important metrics for this are a) it has passed three separate legal opinion reviews a…
  • OK, more time to answer (warning, excessively long policy paste coming, but I believe it helps put the contract into context)... Purpose: Consenting "romantic" or sexual relationships between a supervisor/manager and an employee may at some point …
  • Please forgive the brevity... My lack of explanation is not a reflection of the respect for my fellow boardmates. I failed to mention that the contract pertains only to a supervisor/subordinate relationship. I agree with S Moll that the large maj…
  • Our 'office pre-nup' (a term I will definitely use in the future) Example 1 Consensual Relationship Contract Employee A, employed by the Company as a job title and Employee B, employed by the Company as a job title, hereby notify the Company that …
  • Thanks to you both. #1 thing a consultant shouldn't say: "I could tell you the answer right now, but we're committed to a three month project..." #-o
  • Professional Employers Organization. The short version is that you 'join up' with a PEO to have your company be included in a larger population made up of multiple companies techinically working for the same organization, thus having leverage and e…
  • I would simply encourage anyone to make the phone call to their tax attorney/auditor. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. I believe you'll be glad that you did as well... #1 thing a consultant shouldn't say: "I could tell you the answer …
  • Basically, the IRS provides capped exemptions for employee achievement (recognition) awards, therefore, they are not included on an EOY W2 if they are under the defined limits. It's worth the phone call to corporate to have any company's finance/ac…
  • [url]http://www.incentivemarketing.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=43[/url] Section 274(j) of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, provides, in general, that an employer may deduct the cost of employee achi…
  • That agreement could prove humorous to read based on their interpretation. What would they define as their intellectual property or trade secrets? The knowledge of the street routes within 30 miles of their facility? The driver’s knowledge of how…
  • No salary increase for the reviewed employee until the final signed review is submitted to HR(we are on calendar year review cycles.) The process must be 100% adhered to with no short-cuts. Believe me, the employees know exactly where the bottlene…
