At last, I know what eyebrows are really for -- and that my shoes need to rest. Who'd a thunk it! =D>

[SIZE=4][SIZE=2]I don't think I've ever seen a policy specifically designed to cover tape recording. Anyway, I wouldn't try to reinvent the wheel. Look at your current policies to see if you can include language about tape recording. If you can't f…

Maybe Ricky Gervais will replace Steve Carrell. That would be a hoot! Sharon

The general rule of thumb is one HR rep per 100 employees. For a company with 600 employees, I'd have: 1 HR Director 1 Coordinator/Assistant 1 HR Manager (a generalist specializing in employee relations) 1 Recruiting Specialist 1 Compensation and B…

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I'm with Still Needs Coffee. You need to be sure you check state laws that may apply. You can find state requirements for payment of earned vacation and/or sick days upon separation in [I]50 Employment Laws in 5…

[quote=Still Need Coffee;721353]I love it. Wonder if I can get the C-Suite on board....::pb&J::[/quote] I'd say that depends on whether they have mirrors.

[quote=sdillow;721298]Greetings, I'm in a new situation and looking for advice on communication to my staff. Over the weekend one of our employees was arrested on significant felony charges. The local news covered the story. Some but not all empl…

I think that if you head down that path (the one that prevents non-supervisory employees from dating one another) you're asking for a slew of employee relations issues. Having such a policy may tend to make the company come across to employees as …

I agree with the others. Also, it's a good idea to make sure your screening criteria is the same as the requirements listed on the job description for the position for which you're interviewing. Sharon

Can't wait to read the next installment! Sharon

What a fun office party game that list would make! Thanks for sharing. Sharon

On Christmas Eve my twenty-something daughter comes to my house for the night. We watch White Christmas, play board games, and eat way too much. It's wonderful to have her under my roof even if only for a short time. Merry Christmas to everyone. S…

So far, I've been lucky!

Funny! My favorite is: •Joan of Arc heard voices too. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Sharon ::pb&J::

Just what I needed on a Friday. Made me laugh out loud. I especially like Karmageddon and Sarchasm. Sharon =D>

Personally, I like having them separately. A good rule of thumb, for new employees, is two weeks vacation time, 2 days personal time, and 6-12 days of sick time per year. (Longevity would increase the amount of vacation time.) This is especiall…

[quote=Paul in Cannon Beach;721172]1. Does anyone speak Frank and can translate? 2. Coffee, I am not sure. This kind of policy is news to me. I dont think we are seriously considering it. But I was curious if anyone had a similar policy?[/quote] …

I, on the other hand, spent much of the holiday dealing with less than cooperative relatives and made the worst apple pie I've ever made. Gosh it was bad. Here's hoping Christmas will be less dramatic. One 26 days to go! Which bring me to a ques…

Paul, I'm not very unfamiliar with this. Can for-profit companies take advantage of this as well? Sharon

I was reading franks' post and got caught up in watching the dancing banana. It does a bit of moon walk, the Charleston, and even a tad bit of John Travolta's disco magic from Saturday Night Fever. It's mezmerizing. Problem is, I can't figure out …

Though born and raised in the South, I've never heard of chocolate gravy. Kinda makes me wonder what else I missed out on. My mom did have a chocolate fudge recipe that was cooked in an iron skillet and had to be made just right or it wouldn't set…

Paul, I know you can send a message to everyone in the group. Just not sure if you can be more selective than that. Sharon

Paul, Have you considered setting up your old user name as a group on FB? Might be another way to skin the cat. Sharon

Will they let you convert it from a personal type account to a business account? Sharon

The position would probably report to the Chief HR Officer or the VP of HR. AS for salary range, as other mentioned, it depends on size of company, location, etc. To get a better handle on it, you might want to check out O-Net.org. Search for positi…

If that's a 30% increase in rates over last year, then that has to be the biggest single rate increase in quite some time. Has anyone else received such a huge increase in rates this year? Sharon
