Oh Boy Rockie! Me too :-)

This kind of situation makes me sorry I ever got into HR. At least in accounting at the end of the day 2 + 2 still equals 4. Why people cannot grasp the principal that WORK is work and not play and dress up and express yourself time, completely baff…

"I think we can do that"!! excellent, I have no energy to disagree "disagreeably" today x:-) I have been fielding phone calls, e-mails etc from concerned ee's. Looks like Ivan at present, will cause more havoc here than we have endured the last 4 …

I see no difference in an ee using their company credit card to purchase personal items or an ee using their cell phone to make $500.00 in personal calls. I still see it as stealing-Maybe we could agree to disagree "agreeably!" Scorpio

"an employer can terminate an employee for mis-use of company property, not following company policy (assume that there is a policy stating limitations for company phone use). The man has caused the company to pay $400 -- that should count for somet…

''We are closing too, but people will be paid. '' My company is also closing early today (friday) just finished e-mailing with the bosses, the ee's will be paid, same as with Charley. Glad I do not have to figure out ways to track ''who owes what'…

''I thought you were in Germany hunting for a red bottle. Women!'' I am in Germany looking for a red bottle. Yeessh, can't I take a break and cyber play!!!x:'(

We were with Fidelity, was not at all impressed. We switched in January to Manulife.

Evergreen- I have a question. I just read a previous post "I'm sooo depressed" where you also stated you were suspending an ee without pay for 3 weeks-I was wondering, is 3 weeks some kind of "magic number" where you work? How did you come up with t…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-22-04 AT 05:38PM (CST)[/font][br][br]"any offense that warrents a 3 week suspension warrants firing". Right on Sonny, he should have been fired if they considered the offense to be worth that kind o…

We did the paintball competition in June-It was a HUGE hit. And actually Parabeagle, I barely got hit at all :-) The ee's actually spent lots of time going after each other and pretty much stayed away from any "management" type-We went after each ot…

"Thanks Pork. We got thru, but I'd be lying if I said it was a bit un-nerving. Hope Scorpio and other check in. As I am sure you all know, it was not pretty in south Florida. " Hi, here is Scorpio "checkin in"-Yes Sonny, it was ugly here- The winds…

We use a PTO system. First year ee's accrue at 4.6154 hrs per payroll(we pay bi-weekly) This amounts to 2 weeks vacation and 1 week sick per year. We do not let them roll over time - We have a "sick leave reserve account" any time still available …
-
That day is not a scheduled holiday for us. If an ee wants to take the day off, they must use accumulated PTO for it or take it off without pay.

"Bill refuses to sign and return the policy" Yikes, tell him he can read the policy he refused to sign while waiting in the unemployment line$$$ Sounds like you went above and beyond and he does not want to play nice and keep his job.
-
Yes, I do exit interviews. I generally do them solo as it seems the ee is more comfortable talking with just me, especially if they are a termination. We have a basic form and I do follow the outline :-)
-
That is illegal in the state where I live. Good for you-You must be special. I would not want to go there or defend how I received that information in a court of law.
-
Here is my "final answer" (do I get one if I started the thread?) I think in the end, it is all a crap shoot. You can check their references, you can talk to their last 100 employers, you can background check, d.l.# check, call their ex-wives and ch…

Thank you to everyone who responded-I love this forum thing!!! However, please bear with me while I throw a kink in here-I received a verification request back today that I had sent out early last week- The ee's previous employer verified the dates…
-
Thanks! Just spent the last few hours speaking to the ee's involved-I have documented, documented, documented what everyone had to say-I had each of them sign their statements and I will be sending her a letter, certified and 1st class!! Seems this …

Ha, send a response to a resume??No, I don't think so-Let me tell you a little story. I used to send responses to resumes, informing applicants that the position had been filled and thanking them for their interest....I advertised for a courier posi…

Good Luck xhugs Be firm whatever you set-up and...then duck!!!

Elle, If you mean Trendsetters, send me an e-mail and I will copy you on the criteria.

We did away with the EOM program a few months back-Mostly for the same reasons others have stated here. It became a popularity contest, ee's who weren't nominated stopped talking to their co-workers-It was pretty ugly there for a while-We came up wi…

Dear Mr. "Dandy Pork" Sir, I am new here on the forum-But, to be quite frank (sorry) you seem just a tad bit hostile to everyone who does not support or agree with your advise...While I can certainly see your point( not really), I would have to ask…
-
I would like to say that we have NEVER started an ee until all paperwork was back and in order-However,that would be a whopper of a lie! We have them sign the letter before they begin work, I drug test them either the same day or VERY shortly there…
-
Aimee, following is the "blurb" we add to any "Offer of Employment" - It is the last paragraph before the ee signature-I too work in a medical environment and this was approved by our attorney- "Employment is contingent upon the employee passing a …

We do only "chain of custody" testing and my hands are not on it-If I want to test on site at one of the clinics, I pay them to come in - I would not go there.
