Great answer, Sonny.

We pay our part time employees for holidays based on the number of hours they work, however, it is not legally required. This may depend on your state's laws. Washington is very much a pro-employee state and we are not requred to pay. You should be…

Definitely pay OT for hours over 40. Some states base OT on per day instead of per week, so anything over 8 hours a day is OT. This is not the norm, though.
-
I don't know that there is an exact definition. We consider people who work less than 40 hours, part time. Half time to me would be 20 hours a week, half of what a full time employee works. We give employees who work 30 hours benefits - medical/den…

This person needs to go. I'm sure you had to do a background check on him before allowing him to work for you, right? You would not have hired him if this had happened before he was hired, I'm sure. Anyone who works with children has to meet cert…

This is how I do it... 1. Personnel file - application, reviews, discipline issues, certificates/licenses, seminar attendances, letters of commendation from patients and staff, policies employee needs to sign acknowledging them, vacation requests.…

This is always a difficult one. I think you talk to her one on one and as gently as possible explain the situation. If she doesn't realize that she has this problem, she may be grateful that you brought it to her attention. I might also say that s…

Rockie, re: post date 12/5 Are you sure you're not in Seattle? I taught grade school way back when and the weather forcast called for snow. All Seattle schools sent the kids home early (more than a little early. We never got a snowflake. Regar…

We are a privately owned out-patient medical practice and we have tried to accommodate our employees' wishes, but one thing we haven't changed is the requirement for hosiery. Although no longer one of the "younger employees" (I'm in my early (very) …

I can't believe you would think for one minute that the employee should apologize to this woman. Do you think everything will be all better if she does? You know it won't be. How degrading for this employee to have you threaten her with this. I th…

>SandiF: Since you are in the medical field, have you not been affected >by the decrease in Medicare reimbursements? Rockie, Yes, we've been affected by it, but because we are an out-patient diagnostic radiology practice, Medicare pat…

We are fortuneate in that we are in the medical field and have not been affected by our poor economy. Washington State has the second highest unemployment rate in the country, last I heard. We give merit increases up to 5% and make salary adjustmen…

Ty, Just curious...who will be taking care of the baby when the employee is working? Is it a full-time position? Is there a set schedule? We have our transcriptionists work at home and it has been great for both sides. We cannot be flexible as f…

>Hear-Hear! Well said, Don. My thoughts precisely!

Brad, We have all of the information you listed in our employee handbook, which the new employee signs, but not in our offer letters. Is this enough, or should we add it to the letter too? Thank you. Sandi

I work for an outpatient imaging center. My actual title is Support Staff Supervisor because I supervise three of the support staff departments. Each of those departments has a Lead. I am HR as well and report to the Administrator (CEO)who report…

We are in healthcare and work in an outpatient setting. We've had to be very specific about our dress code - we want our staff to look "professional." A different definition for each person - forcing us to be specific. The Lead in each department i…

We all realize that, but it's our doctors who pay the bills. There was a time when there was an over abundance of techs. I'm hoping things turn in that direction again.
-
We have the same situation. So far our physicians have continued to raise salaries and provide incentive pay. This has been going on for quite some time. The doctors know that these techs work in the most profitable department,(even though the Prac…

I laughed out loud also. And I agree with what you say about doing a good job, making a good faith effort, etc. All these laws are frustrating because try as you might, there will come a time when we make a mistake; a mistake, not something done wi…

That's a great answer!

All of our restrooms are unisex. No one has ever mentioned this as a problem. It actually never crossed my mind.

Thanks for your answer James, that allowing employee sick leave to be used for children is not a federal law. Washington is a very employee friendly state. We recently implemented a new sick leave policy. Prior to this, we allowed employees to bu…
