Several years ago we tried employee of the month until it became a popularity contest than we ended it. we now have our usual sevice awards for years of service. We also have an AIM bucks program. we have One dollar, 2 dollar and 5 dollar play mo…

Just thought of something else.... Be very careful what you say in an interview, either hiring or exit...your words may come back to bite you in the butt!!!!

A few things actually.... Listen and really hear what the other person is saying...repeat it if you need to until you understand. Think before you open your mouth Be prepared for an emergency..it always happens. Document everything! and be very …

Well timing isn't working for me and I don't have wealthy parents so I guess I am out of luck! I do have a good location. One point for me. Shirley

If I work 10 years longer I won't need the retirement I will be dead! Let's see now what can you do with retirement at 80?

I actually had this happen recently. One of our higher up employees developed meningitis and he recovered returned to work but his memory was affected such that he could not properly perform his duties. We gave his some time off to recover but when…

This is also our response. John Doe is no longer with the compoany he has decided to pursue other career choices. We wish him well in his future endeavors. No further information should be given to anyone.

Paul, We did away with applications entirely. Don't use them anymore. We use the resume and an employee information sheet. When I put a job out on the internet via Job Service or Career Builder I ask for a resume. I go through the resume's pick …

vphr Our company has a different philosophy than you. The manual, the policy and the practice was started before I took over HR 3 years ago. I did work with our 401K administrator and of course Management to come up with the PTO rollover plan. I…

Some employers feel that it does belong to the employees. In our handbook it says employees will earn (note the word earn) time this year to be used in the next. If the time is earned by the employee it does belong to the employee. I do not believ…

I am sorry Pork but I do have to disagree with you. I spent several years seeing employees lose PTO time. They were not happy campers and it did not help us retain good workers. My motto is "Happy employees are good employees" I like to keep my e…

We took a different approach. After 5 years if you have not used all of your PTO on your anniversary date of employment we allow you to carry over 80 hours to the next year. Than if you have any left you are allowed to roll it over into your 401K p…

What should we do? Right now follow the law. We should look at ways to make it easier for everyone in the future. The U.S. and Canada have an agreement where the Canadian's that work in the U.S. can cross the border to work and they have extended v…

Isn't that already being done? I am sure that the Mexican government deems a mighty hefty profit from all those drugs that come to the U.S.

I agree that we have handled immigration wrong and need to fix it. Yes, we should have been enforcing our laws but unfortunately, we did not do a very good job of it. We allowed the problem to continue until it became what it is today. I do feel f…

That is a sad tale, however, I can only feel sad that the parents put their children through this. If they had obeyed the law and immigrated through legal channels than their family would be together. When you break laws than sad and unfortunate …

Well this is pretty much over now as a topic. All was quiet here, we had a small student demonstration in Boise. I did not hear of anyone leaving work without permission from any HR people in the area. I love that in American we have the right t…

Karen I have also seen this in the orchards and in the beet fields. Not only that but Hispanic contractors form crews and they are paid by the farmers and only pay their workers a few dollars a day and keep the rest for getting them the job. They d…

If they claim more than 10 on the W-4 it should be sent in to the IRS by the payroll department. I think part of the no tax argument stems from the worker's working in US and sending all their money back to Mexico to support families there or to pa…

The INS did not sweep our town, however, the DOL did a couple of checks for I-9 forms at some business's here and the owner's were fined substantial amounts for hiring illegal immigrants. We have had such a problem in this area with the illegals tha…

I agree. Those Latinos that stayed and worked even though they wanted to participate are loyal workers and they are valued by the company. It is a good employee that comes to work every day. It is a loyal employee that comes to work when their frie…

We have had one business that I know of and possibly two others dismiss all the employees that walked out. I am in Nampa, Idaho. we have a policy that is for all white, brown, red, black whatever. If you walk off the job without getting permission …

Paul thank you so much. This was a real shock and truthfully I do not know the religion of people I work with, it just never is discussed and never is asked. Thanks for sending me the information. [email]smcallister@aimintl.com[/email] Shirley

Thanks to everyone. I will be writing up the written reprimand up this weekend and giving it to the VP on Monday to review. I have done the research with the other employees so it is not just coming from him, I have also been in a few meetings with…

Unfortunately, we had to dismiss our VP and she reported to him. Since his dismissal her attitude is really bad. She sits in meetings and rolls her eyes when she doesn't agree with someone, she very loudly puts down anyone new's ideas and opinions,…

I think that a couple of things will happen. #1. The boomers will work longer than retirement age because they have better health and because many of them are not prepared financially for retirement and do not trust the social security system. #2…

I am not sure what you are asking. Are you billing and invoiceing employees or the vendors. Can you explain your plan a little bit. my email is [email]smcallister@aimintl.com[/email] if you wish to email me. Or call at AIM (208) 463-2120. I h…

I have found that RESPECT is my largest tool. I had a very difficult time transitioning from Payroll to Human Resources. After being the Payroll Manager for my company and working with the same employees for 20 years to all of a sudden become their …

I think that you can say this in a way that is kind, yet get your point across. I have several different resume answer letters and I use them as needed. In your case I would probably say. Thank you for applying for employment with XYZ company. Y…

Craig, This is our substance abuse policy. With other offenses we take into consideration the seriousness of the offense. Basically we treat substance abuse as an illness. It depends on the offense. Theft from the company is an immediate dismissal.…
