  • stayathome should indeed stay at home if that is their philosophy on HR.  Not a wise decision to follow that advice as you are likely to end up in the nearest courtroom.  Consider the legal and ethical approach prior to asking them anything you like.
  • No, discriminatory.  Consider asking if they have received their diploma, degree, etc.  This will be the root of what you want in most cases anyway.
  • dfox-  Without knowing what they intend to replace it with, I am unsure how to answer your question.  In my opinion, you somewhat answered your own question with the fact that these clocks are linked to payroll and have been used, what seems to be a…
  • Jah- We are a IT consultant firm of 77 ee.  We have 17 days PTO for second year employees, 9 for first year--given without regard to hire date, meaning, if you are hired January 1, you get a prorated amount of days but come April 1st (our fiscal) yo…
  • Sorry - Guess I should have clarified what my team was for-- Essentially the same as yours.  To positively influence the community by giving back, holding local fundraisers, participating in Turkey dinners, Christmas for Children, Blue Santa, aid Ka…
  • GiveBack-  As part of an HR initiative I created a team of assocaites called the "Success Team".  This team was composed of associates from various work locations of the company.  I appreciate what you are trying to do so to your questions: Risk/Lia…
  • Completely off subject but TXHRGuy, your situational examples are spot on!  Sounds like you do MD work in your spare time.  Good examples.  Completely agree.
  • SrToady-  I worked for a firm with a similar issue--we operated in 12 states, Mass being one of them.  Our comp structure essentially placed the deductions for the state in which, as defined by their job responsibilities, they performed the majority…
  • cmanders-  This was created by me in Excel in my free time.  I took a basic absentee calendar that I saw and recreated with some modifications to save from having to purchase the package.  Simple yet effective for the Managers.   It is considered my…
  • Our company utilizes a Absenteeism Calendar (Excel).  Essentially I created a calendar, mapping the whole year (fiscal), and included codes for us to place in the calendar for the type of absence (P = PTO, J = Jury, etc.).  For additional documentat…
  • NPeeples-  No you are not legally required to compensate this distance (to/fro home and work).  Now I do believe there to be an IRS exception that states that a certain mileage commuted from a work location to home or vice versa is compensable after…
  • Similar issue was had here.  When I responded to the UI claim (in TX), I responded with a letter stating the violation of the policy, included a copy of the policy, and the results of the random drug screening with all appropriate information needed…
  • Depends on the company and infractions you speak of.  Most employers do, I do.  However, my current company only reviews back 7 years.  My previous employer went back 10 years.  Some employers will look only for felonies, some for both felonies and …
  • Agree with mandrews--we too have short breaks that are used for all sorts of things, smoking included.  We do not distinguish whether or not it is compensable by the act you are committing during your break as long as it falls within the scope of ti…
  • Mouse-  At my former company we had a similar "policy" in which we alway rounded up.  In efforts to maximize consistency, the Mngrs were not allowed to make a unilateral decision regarding awarding hours, time off, comp time, holiday time, etc.  All…
  • Hey Jennifer-  Congrats on your Assoc degree--you are well on your way.  HR is a great field--I could not have made a better choice.  I have my degree in HR as well as my certification serving as HR Manager for a Top 50 private employer in San Anton…
  • Thank you for your input.  I am located in TX and the competing firm is also.  I have requested the NCA and am awaiting feedback.  The prospective employee is having his personal legal counsel review it as well.  I plan to have our counsel review it…
  • dfox-  Granted, I am now working HR for a smaller firm but did come from a firm of similar size (~720+).  We had acct performing our payroll as well and we all agreed that since they were creating the payroll and had all administrative responsibilit…
  • There is no obligation unless the contact was initiated by the search firm with a correpsponding services contract governing prospective recruits being submitted to your organization.  If you located him, or if he located you first--prior to (if thi…
  • I think TXHR, as he sincerely always does, has an excellent point with the informal conversation.  I passed an assumption that the original post was made by a female in which, from shared experiences in the past, can be difficult for a female to spe…
  • While this is a difficult situation I think the best way to handle it would be to talk to him directly about it. Phrase it in the most socially acceptable manner possible. Maybe something like "It has been brought to my attention that you are freque…
  • TXHR is spot on.  This guy seems to blatantly be looking for avenues to not comply.  Your request is not that difficult and considering it is inline with what you have previously documented, I would start running him through the disc process immedia…
  • Redbud-  Ironically enough, I used to perform HR for a medical group (in TX) and we had a situation mirror the one you speak of.  This lady was indeed lining herself up for a termination but was currently covered under WC--my saving grace was the da…
  • HR_GMC--  Located right behind the airport next to the Nationwide building in the Arion Pkwy business park--work for a San Antonio IT firm.  And yourself?  We really got left out on the rain from these two storms.  I agree with you, bring on the lar…
  • San Antonio is awaiting the rain, should be here within a few hours.  Looking forward to cooler temps.  Thanks again for the concern.
  • Live and work in San Antonio and quite honestly, we were wishing for more rain!  I do send my best wishes to those on/in South Padre Island as they were hit fairly hard.  Otherwise, Texas is golden!  Thanks for the well wishes.
  • JACHR-  Glad you have the optimism--consider that step one.  I would assume that the course includes you keeping the SHRM learning system correct?  I will assume your answer is yes--if so, then if the classroom environment suits you best, roll with …
  • Thanks IT!
  • I am in search of a Senior Cisco Voice Engineer.  I have a JD available if you would like to email me directly at pcrumley@comsoltx.com.  Any help in this regard would be much apprecaited.
