[quote user="king92"]Is there a way to have a valid solicitation policy in place that would still allow the company to support local school and community activities (if solicited by employees, not non-employees) and if 100% of contributions go to th…

[quote user="CRLuebke"] Thanks for the feedback. Another quick question...what do you say when the applicant calls and asks for feedback on why they didn't get the job? Is there some generic thing that people say - like "We had a more qualified…

[quote user="SacrosanctFiend"]That's why I'm worried. There were 12 people called out by name (all a part of a protected class) [...][/quote] Every person is in a protected class. Every white person. Every black person. Every person of every oth…

[quote user="SacrosanctFiend"] I never thought this would happen. In fact, when I saw it on The Office, I laughed and thought, "how could someone be so stupid?" But, it happened. The Operations Division manager at our TN manufacturing facility wa…

[quote user="jhuggard"] [...] We have a second situation that has come up where there is the possibility of another employee working two separate jobs at the company; however this employee is non exempt. From everything I can read, we would be requ…

Does Section IX go on to say how long the IEP lasts and why it even exists versus any other plain old fashioned period of employment?

[quote user="CAHRGal"]A probationary period is a time of adjustment for both parties--the new employee gets to know the job duties, his co-workers, the company's culture, practices, and rules, and decide if this is a place he wants to stay. The emp…

[quote user="Carol592"] My company is located in Wisconsin and we have a 'probationary period' for new employees in production of 180 days. It is not in writing but it is something that is communicated to new hires. If the employee has been train…

[quote user="pmerson"] In California, an employer must have the employee's written authorization to deduct any additional funds from the final check. If the employee does not grant that authorization, you're out of luck trying to recoup the insura…

UNder the old rules, you could recoup the Company's share of premiums paid on the employee's behalf if they fail to return to work (which was defined as returning to work for 30 calendar days, not showing up, clocking in, and quitting). I have not …

[quote user="6414213"] Due to budget constraints, our HR Director is looking to move in the direction of HR Generalist's for myself and a co-worker (both of us exempt) and HR Coordinator and HR Coordinator II for non-exempt staff. I'm looking for …

[quote user="BrandyWatson"] I have an employee who will be out on maternity leave and is covered under our company's health plan. My question is, do we still have to pay the same portion of her health benefits while she is out on leave? We are un…

[quote user="cb499"]I'm being told that we cannot deduct, from a final paycheck, for a negative PTO balance. Can someone please point me to the exact location in the FLSA that prohibits this? Thank you![/quote] Hourly or salaried and what state? H…

[quote user="pmerson"]You can set up your plan in any manner you see fit, so long as you are not discriminating on any legally protected basis.[/quote] That's not exactly true: there are state level concerns about paid leave types and what you can …

[quote user="dgerm"]My company has an earned extended sick-leave benefit that carries over each year to specific limits -- 8 weeks but soon to be extending it to 10 weeks. In simple terms, it can be used after 1 continuous week of the same condition…

Alternatively, if you know their weekly pay, or can average it over any time frame like 4, 5, or 6 months, then take weekly pay and multiply by (52/12) and you will get monthly. It's 4.3333333333333333333333333333333 weeks per month.

[quote user="IrisD"]Send a return email stating that you do not accept video resumes and that the applicant must follow the procedures on your company website, if they are indeed online. If not, send the list of procedures in this email. Add to you…

[quote user="4618593"]Thank you. That is precisely what I meant. This person basically wanted to take a day or two off without pay, yet still has available accrued time to use. FMLA is not a concern here. [/quote] You may deduct a full day's pay…

[quote user="MDHRGirl"] For the associates hired after September 10, 1996, they are only receiving $50 a day which is less than minimum wage for an 8 hour day. Since it's sick leave and the associate didn't actually work, does the minimum wage req…

[quote user="MDHRGirl"] TXHRGuy, I didn't write this policy, it was already in the handbook when I started with the company. In reference to your comment, I suppose they do have it budgeted as this policy has been an effect for a while. I guess I…

So, the maximum accrued sick leave at the end of a year is 16. That means that you are committed to paying up to 6 days of sick leave in the last pay period of December every year. Does your CFO have that budgeted? Have you forecast what that mig…

[quote user="HRFLDist"]Just wondering if anyone had any advice on how to communicate a wage increase freeze.[/quote] Dear employees: We are not exempt from the tremendous forces at work shredding the world economy. Although future business may pick…

I like to have it on paper, where people will take it home and think of it as a home activity, when it comes to production environments. When you put it on the intranet, people will spend production time reading it there. "What, you mean I can't r…

A contingency worker is not necessarily a contractor. A contractor is not necessarily a contractor. Just like calling someone a manager doesn't make them exempt from the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, calling s…

[quote user="sfuhrmann"]If your California client is converting from separate sick and vacation leave policies to PTO then the Labor Commissioner considers the entire sum of PTO as vacation and therefore, they cannot adopt a use-it-or-lose-it policy…

[quote user="hrconsult8"] My California client is converting from a vacation and sick leave policy to a PTO policy. They are going from 10 vacation days and 10 sick days to 15 PTO days. Of course, all vacation is being carried over. However, I'v…
