  • Linda, great advice. Please don't drop the insurance until there is a legal separation or final divorce decree. I had an employee who did drop his spouses insurance before I worked for the company and he received a court order to provide ... 4 mon…

  • The information would be from the INS not SS. Office of Business Liaison for Department of Justice should be able to direct you. Their phone number is 800-357-2099. Link for their web page is [url]http://www.immigration.gov/graphics/services/empl…
  • Having "hired" someone does not mean they have actually started work yet, you need only have made an offer of employment and have it accepted. SS use to have a pilot program where you had software or could do it on line. Here is the link to their …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-27-03 AT 03:33PM (CST)[/font][p]The INS has a expanded instruction booklet with photos of documents with tips of things to look for. The few things I use to look for was if the number or name was cro…
  • You may want to check your state laws, some do prohibit "charging" employee for a loss. I know some state don't allow a restaurant to charge the server for a skipped check, this may fall under the same restriction.

  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-12-02 AT 07:33PM (CST)[/font][p]I would just confront her head on and have a meeting with a copy of the total summary and the email policy highlighted with another manager in the room. I would then t…
  • Was there any statement from the CEO included with the Summary explaining why it was being distributed? I have always found that if it cannot be communicated in person, something explaining why these new "rules" are now being introduced goes a lon…
  • I use to roll these out in a group meeting where everyone signed an attendance sheet and used that as documentation that the information was received. It is then their responsibility to review the information.
  • I too have received these messages. The key here is the word accredited as opposed to non-accredited. You want an accredited school. I think some of these places don't have a physical school, they are just virtual. Don't trust them. There are l…
  • I found a link that lists the states with breastfeeding laws. [url]http://www.ncsl.org/programs/health/breast.htm[/url] Hope this helps.
  • The only law I think may even touch on this would be in relation to breastfeeding but I am sorry to say I am not up to date on this. Anyone else?
  • I believe the guideline is that if the uniform has the company logo or company personalization then you cannot charge for the uniform because it is a benefit to your company. If the uniform is clothing that does not have the company name and can be…
  • Responsibilities are two fold. You need to ensure the safety of your other employees while maintaining confidentiality of the employee in question. I found two government fact sheets on genital herpes that should be helpful. [url]http://www.niaid…

  • I hate to be technical, but there are 2 types of herpes, genital and oral herpes, as several different strains. I do not know if oral herpes can be spread on surfaces or by hand, but sexual contact of any kind during an outbreak (including oral) ca…
  • SS usually asks if the person has been hired. As long as an offer of employment has been extended, only at that point is it ok to call to confirm. Do not call if you are trying to decide among several candidate and use it as a way of narrowing the …
  • Seeing a physical SS card really isn't any guarantee that the number is valid. I have seen so many fakes I have started to go grey. I am located in New Jersey and there was a news story two years back about a local bakery selling fake SS cards and…
  • Why don't you go directly to the source and call the INS?
  • I have found that if you can quantify in dollars the cost of each incorrect I-9 or the willful disregard you can usually get managements attention. Each incorrect I-9 can be fined from $100 to $1000 each and not only can the company be additionally…
  • If your company has a handbook or policy posted to follow regarding this type of activity, follow the procedure in that. If they don't, go directly to HR and tell them not only of the activity of this employee but that the supervisor discouraged yo…
  • On the flip side, what if her short shorts generate unwelcome attention (or are doing so and you don't know about it)? You would want prevent/stop that wouldn't you? I suggest if possible, you observe the attire and made a determination from there…

  • While it would add a little work to your plate, if you conducted perforance appraisals (or even short ones) for all employees, this would provide documentation to support downsizing the poor performers. This could cover the basics such as attendanc…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-27-02 AT 03:42PM (CST)[/font][p]This depends on how your vacation policy is worded, if you have one. If you don't then you could be stuck.
  • Generally speaking, as long as the cameras are not installed in an area where there would be an expectation of privacy (bathroom, locker room) you could be ok. I will check NJ statues to make sure.
  • I would also think if there is an investigation of any sort and the officials come knocking on the door of this ex-employee, they will be shaking in there boots. As a general rule of thumb, I try not to mess with the Federal Government. If the cu…

  • While I cannot quote any laws here, my gut says for the company to stay out of it. This is a private matter between the individuals and the alleged ex-employee. If they wish to file charges, they shoud do it themselves. The mail was being sent to…

  • In my experience and depending on company policy, we have asked the caller to submit something in writing requesting the information and THEY need to include the authorizion from the employee with their submission. If it is for a mortgage or employ…
