PORK: I Googled the term you used and could not find any reference to actual laws or regulations. I would love to issue you a formal apology here in the Forum. As a matter of fact, I hereby commit to taking an ad out in your local paper with a publ…

I have been carefully watching this thing unfold ever since El Puerco accused me of improperly quoting laws and pointing weapons at myself. I will lay the capstone on this thread by quoting a few of the posts and commenting on each. First, I woul…

Puerco (I am honorably addressing you in the spanish version of Pork): I did not quote anything about 778.114. You may want to reread the posts above mine and you will see it was someone else who quoted 778.114. I simply stated the obvious. An…

I would strongly discourage everyone from employing practices such as those suggested by pOrK. Schemes such as these are in clear violation of the FLSA. There was an article on SHRM's web site today talking about these sorts of shenanigans. BTW, …

Give them a free NetZero CD from Kmart and wish them the best of luck........Actually, I have it installed on my laptop for those rare ocassions where I can't plug-in to high-speed or hit a wi-fi hot spot (believe it or not it still happens from tim…

To answer the original question, yes, I have some experience with cash cards. I don't like them. We, too, have a mandatory direct deposit program in place. Unfortunately, some EE's are not bankable and therefore we had to look at cash cards as an…

I totally disagree. Most large companies who've embraced six sigma require, and compensate accordingly, cetified individuals.

There is absolutely nothing illegal about claiming 100 exemptions on your W4. At the end of the year, your tax liability is what it is. Word of caution, the IRS WILL impose a penalty for underwitholding, but, interestingly enough, not for the oppo…

Technically, an independent contractor should bill you at whatever terms he/she wants. You should not dictate those terms. It doesn't sound like this guy is really an IC. I say that because one of the tests used to determine IC vs. employee/emplo…

Added $500 deductible to BC/BS PPO plan and realized a -4% decrease in rates over Cigna. Our broker takes the plan to market every year, regardless of what the carrier is "promising". Keeps them honest, IMHO. I fully expected our ee's to go crazy…

Yes, it's called effective leadership. You bring the Managers in and communicate the meeting. Anyone who is late or absent will suffer disciplinary action. They, in turn, will hold the supervisors accountable, who in turn hold the leads who in tu…

Here's what I would do. Draft a very brief memorandum of understanding describing your course of action. Have the employee sign it. Upon his return, offer him enrollment immediately, no waiting period. Fire the benefits specialist.

And a physician will not/cannot write a legitimate script for fish oil because it is not listed in the NDC formulary as something that you write an Rx for and is therefore not protocol. I went through this recently with my payroll admin whose docto…

The best way to handle this is to cancel Christmas for both of them. Luckily they are far enough away from Tennessee that they will not come down here for the open-trough, suckle the teat dry TennCare system. Gene
-
I see this as a major plus all the way around. You're bringing back these employees as "temps" (by that I assume through a temporary agency), which means that since they already know the organization, culture, etc, they should be able to hit the gr…

100% on the first 4%, then nothing. Safe Harbor, immediate vesting. Gene

About 950 lives. It is a POS plan (with a PCP). We're not mandated in TN to offer a PPO product, YIKES! However, when our broker shopped this last year I believe PPO was about 8% more. Gene

Jerzal, Welcome to the post! This is exactly what we do. We pay 80% of the premium on: EE Only-------------$209.71 EE + Child(ren)-----$359.34 EE + Spouse---------$440.45 Family--------------$577.65 The plan is a no-deductible, $10 office visit…

And DoD-issued ID cards; i.e. geneva convention, etc.

In my opinion employee of the month/quarter, etc is crap. Unfortunately for you the union will not allow you to truly recognize employees in the best way possible. Pay for performance. It's a sacriligious concept to unions. You could have monthl…

Same as E Wart except we also allow employees to pay up front, through payroll deduction. It appears to work well. Gene

We have approx. 450 eligible EE's with about 88% participation. The company pays 80% of the premium straight across the board (single all the way to family coverage). Plan year runs 10/1/04-9/30/05 and we just locked-in an 8% rate increase. I thi…

450 ee's. I use Ceridian and they are great! The web interface is awesome. They handle all of the notifications, enrollments, billing, etc. Plus, they have some sort of compliance guarantee where if you get audited and for some reason fined for …
-
The best tool I have found for maximizing 401K participation is the Social (in)Security Administartion itself. Invite your ee's to visit SSA's website where they can enter info and get an estimate of what their benefits will be.....................…

Cerdian handles all of my COBRA notices, billing, etc. My rate through them is based on my group enrollment .83 per employee per month. Very easy web-based portal to manage this. Email me at [email]greyna@taylorfarms.com[/email] if you need speci…
