  • I'm glad you cleared that up. Makes perfect sense now.
  • Don, I am very disappointed in your response. First your opinion is correct (as always), but you (and others) are referring to this applicant as a male. I don't this referrence in the original post. Please don't tell that you too are stereo typi…
  • I am in Arizona too. I don't know of any Arizona laws that would prohibit this, but then again, I am not a lawer. We do pay a portion of our employees group health benefits for family, and we do not give the single employees anything back for not …
  • Have these employees signed a release at some point for you to do a criminal background search on them? We have recently started doing criminal background searches in our hiring process, and I was told that you need to have a release separate from …
  • Sounds like my previous life. I worked most of my life in a 2 store grocery company, till we were sold 6 years ago to a larger chain. I started as a carryout in Jr High, and finished as the store GM. We were the last store in town to open on than…
  • Bracket Creep - I have not looked that closely at the tax tables, but as I remember, when you go into a new bracket, your first dollars earned stay the same tax rate. Quick example with very fake numbers: 0-99 get taxed at 10% 100-499 get taxed a…
  • If you have a Section 125 plan (employee portion of the premium tax free), then you must have a qualifying event or annual open enrollment (IRS rules, not necessarily the insurance company). HMO's also often will not allow you to remove except for …
  • One more quick thing. Most states you are able to record video with no legal problems, but recording the sound can get you in a lot of trouble. In many states you can record sound if one of the people know it is being recorded. Other states for…
  • I will add one more bit to this very thorough post. If you tell her about the cameras, and she is the culprit, then the items will start showing up on her car or somewhere else that the camera can not see. Like many others have already said, keep …
  • I feel your pain. Our person waiting for the transplant should either have it soon, get taken off of the list because he is getting to sick or pass away pretty soon (I'm getting to sound morbid). As soon as one of those three happens, we will put …
  • We have a person who has been on the waiting list for a heart/lung transplant for a while now. Last Jan 1 we had a 102% increase, and the year before we had a 40% increase. I had to put my family on an idividual plan because my rates to keep them …
  • As long as there is no house cut (100% of the money goes out to the winners), then we don't worry about our office pools (anybody know what the line is on the Green Bay game this weekend?). Rob
  • I don't know what system you are on, but several that I have seen will let you know if the record was by card swipe, or by a manager putting it in manually (and who the manager is),and often it will also list records that were deleted or changed. I…
  • I am in Arizona too, but I have not been in your exact situation before. The good thing is that Arizona is somewhat employer friendly (at least in my encounters). I have only had 3 or 4 UI hearings, but all have come out in our favor (even when th…
  • We track both auto insurance and drivers license info. I built a microsoft access database that automatically e-mails each person when their insurance or license is close to expiration (I'm half HR and half IT). It saved me a lot of time tracking …
  • I want to thank everyone for responding. One thing I should clear up is that we have 9 offices around the state, so by me saying an office manager hired a new employee, I should have said a branch manager to make it more clear to everyone. She d…

  • My dad always said "Don't get in a p*ssin contest with a skunk". It has helped me keep my mouth shut more than once when I really wanted to say something back to someone. From an old solder, "do you really want to die for that hill" (do you want t…
  • We were looking at this in the past, and I was told that you must have the original I9 and W4. They said that everything else could be kept electronically.
  • I would ask the employee is she would like me to sit in on the evaluation. I would not say that the manager had asked me to. I would simply say, “I understand there has been a little tension in the past. Would you feel more comfortable if I sat i…
  • I work at a company that does quite a bit of sales/work that is done over the phone, and we have sometimes been concerned that a person was spending a lot of time making long distance calls on our system. We have never actually called a number to s…
  • I'm in Arizona, and I've never come across anything even close to that, and our company has around 70 agents who have signed agreements with our company. I'm no lawyer, but I pretty sure someone is pulling your leg. In general, the laws in Arizona…
