HR Help... I truly do not believe in terminating an employee for a first offense. The bad records could have pointed to a problem earlier which should have been caught and addressed by a supervisor. This is why a random drug test policy really co…

Actually that is not how we do it. We figure out which jobs (not employees) we can do without. If we have underperformers we move them to the unimportant jobs before the layoff. For example in our most recent RIF (reduction in force) our words for…

I agree with WT. I personally do not have time to evaluate each employee. Therefore when we have cause for a layoff we do use it to weed out the non performers. We also have a policy that we never call anyone back. I have been here 23 years and we…

I did just that (called all the states)and it was an eye opener. A few states wanted the 1099's with the Federal 1096 form, a couple wanted their own form filled out, but the majority did not even want the 1099's unless they had state withholding on…

Mutual to you Paul. We talk to others but never actually put a face to the words. It was great meeting someone from the forum and actually seeing to whom I had spoken. Shirley

We consider employee's full time at 30 hours and pay 100% of their benefits. 20 to 29 hours is part time and they pay 50% of their benefits. Under 20 hours is considered temporary help and is not covered by any benefits. Shirley

Shirley McAllister AIM International 3923 E. Flamingo Ave. Nampa, ID 83687 Thank you I really appreciate the help. I have not spent that many years in HR and I am still working on policies, precedures and such. Shirley

Both you and Jiterbug above mentioned a code of conduct policy. I do not have a code of conduct policy. Would one or the other be willing to share what is contained in this policy? It may help with my situation with the disagreements between my f…

We have been hit with multiple audits also, I am just finishing up the 401K Audit this week. I had the insurance one earlier. We also had a state audit. I am wondering if it is because we also have multiple locations. I had kind of wondered if i…
-
I had that audit last year. What they were looking for was: #1. Were all employees elgible for insurance enrolled or if not did you have waiver's in place stating that they did not wish to be enrolled. #2. Cobra violations...any violations. #3. D…

Thank you Cristy. I have been in Payroll for 0ver 20 years. Three years ago I went back to college and I earned my Human Resources and was promoted and am now over both Payroll and Human Resources for our company. I am used to the Payroll Forums wh…

Mine won't help we would start the 1-2 years with 8:00 and the 2-3 year with 10.00. I would however, suggest that you check your state DOL site. Here in Idaho we have an Idaho Employment and Wage survey on our website which is broken down into dif…

We give an across the board increase to everyone about 3% every January. Now if you are a good performer you might get a merit increase and/or a job title change. This is usually another 3 to 5 % and is determined by the CEO. (with manager's imput)…

I agree that it would depend on the driver's part in the damage of the truck. Was it the driver's fault. If it was the driver's fault I agree a week is fair. The first thing I would do is get with management and write up a policy. It needs to be …

I think you are fine if you wish to terminate since your policy states it could happen. Hopefully you haven't set a precidence in the past with someone else. We do not terminate on a first offense for Alcohol. We suspend them for 3 weeks without p…

Sorry I thought I might want to add something. When you are hiring new employees this is something which you could tell them right up front. You could also explain about the option to take a private test and pay for it. I would also write a policy…

This is what I would do. I would make up a form that says: I ___________ask to be excused from the annual hearing test. I understand that this is a manditory test and must be administered. I will pay the cost of having the hearing test done at a …

We are in Nampa Idaho We give six paid holidays a year New Years Day Memorial Day 4th of July Labour Day Thanksgiving Day Christmas Day We also give one Floating Holiday per year which may be used at any time upon supervisory approval. Shirley
-
Another note: Does anyone have their employees work on the holiday and give then another day off to use by March 31st instead of the holiday? Thanks Shirley
-
Our policy has always been if the holiday falls on a Saturday we celebrate on Friday and if the holiday falls on a Sunday we celebrate on Monday. This is how most companies I know have figured their holidays. This year one department wants to have …

Karen We do not worry about the taxes. The certificates are 10.00 or 5.00 each. We do not account for them so it falls under the too small to account for IRS loophole. Shirley

We have had a unique incentive program in place for the last 4 years or so. The staff loves it so much that we tried to discontinue it and almost had a mutny. We print what we call "AIM BUCKS" on colored paper. Green for $1, Yellow for $2 and Pink…
