Hey! Remember the Seinfeld episode when a telemarketer called Jerry and he asked the telemarketer for his home phone number and he refused to give it to Jerry? Jerry then said "Well I guess you don't want to be bothered at home huh?" The guy evid…

Was the picture a male or a female?

No, it should be SHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIK!

I think Neil Diamond now has red hair.

Oh....PU-LEEZE tell me you are joking!

SHRM used to sell a nice stuffed Catbert made by Gund, but for some reason, Gund quit making this character. I have not seen this little guy since last June at the National SHRM meeting.

I see that I am very lucky. I have a CEO that actually lets me do what I was hired to do and respects the HR function. I do what I do well and he does his CEOing well. I guess my biggest "tick off" is the ever increasing feeling of entitlement I…

Dirty old men???? Naw...not us!

Myth: HR is a "glamour job". Fact: I'm still laughing about this one!

Our handbook is on our Intranet and when employees go in to access, there is a pop up stating the "not a contract of employment"lingo and they have to click on "accept" before they can go further into the document. There is an audit of who has acce…

You are welcome anytime! Maybe it's because we get into the beer and wine that we can't keep the grill hot enough!

Linda, I feel your pain. We didn't have a holiday party last year because of the fact that we had to reduce salary increases and spending $25,000 -$30,000 for a party would not be a "good thing" when you had to reduce increases. We have had ma…

Hey Nat! I'd like to look at this innovative approach. [email]scallender@scheart.com[/email] Thanks.

After hire you can ask this type information - it's only before hire when you get into trouble!

Lots of times, your insurance carriers are set up to do this and have the software if you provide them certain information. It's worth a shot to ask them. Otherwise, there's a lot of calculating!

Have any of you guys put your handbooks on line and if so, has this proven to be successful? I have run into the problem of constant updates and reprinting which is becoming cost prohibitive. How do you get acknowledgements back when you have the …

I use a company called "Knowledgepoint" and they have a great program. You can tailor your evaluations as to the level of the employee. There are about 45 different competencies that can be used to outline what the employee is being evaluated on a…

This is a good policy to have. Companies have been held liable when allowing employees to use cell phones while driving. South Carolina is seriously contemplating legislation prohibiting anyone from using a cell phone while driving. I have seen a lo…

I'd like to have a copy of your manual. [email]scallender@scheart.com[/email] Thanks!

Our policy is ....if it is the fault of the employee, they will get the correction on the next payday; if it is something that we did to cause the issue, then we will correct immediately. You ARE dictated by laws of your state, so check with your a…

I agree. Your fire marshall would not allow space heaters under desks. We have this issue also and advise people that are "cold" to bring a sweater or a light jacket. Most people who complain about being cold in the summertime are wearing sleevel…

Nothing wrong with paying a salaried person "extra" for above and beyond such as working on a Saturday when they normally would not work on a Saturday. I hear salaried people say all the time "I have put in my 40 hours a week" or "I work an eight h…

I agree with all. Many banks have Saturday and some even Sunday hours now. Any community I've ever worked in also had banks that provided extended hours on Friday to provide this type service. This reminds me of people who claim they have to le…

Yes, the company can recoup the funds, but they will have to make some type of reasonable payment arrangements with the individual. It's unfortunate the employee did not examine her pay stub for accuracy for two years. I remember when I worked in …

I'd give him a choice to pay up or be terminated immediately.

Our employees are required to give a four week notice. They must work the notice in order to get paid out their PTO time. If they don't work out the notice, they do not get their accrued PTO time.

Couple of thoughts. I am assuming this person is a fairly new employee and is already asking for a raise? I'd reiterate our policy on salary increases and when she could expect one provided her performance warrants it. This behavior is typical of…
