I personally am glad that there are other financial institutions that are having angst over capri pants. We had the battle last year and it was decided that each branch/department manager could decide if capris were allowed in their territory. (We…

If you would share, I'd like a copy of the post card also. We currently use a form with the application and keep it separate - but I'm not wild about that idea. A question for those who have had audits. Were they random, for reason, or do they au…

Yes, HR is the dumping ground of everyone else's problems. We have a highly placed assistant here, who will call me and involve me in such things as: cost of retirement gifts given by employees to retiring employees, other department's cologne usag…

I think this depends on the size of your company. When I worked for an organization with 3000 people, we used a computer printout showing the before raise rate of pay, the raise amount, and the after raise rate of pay. We then could note exception…

I have used several topics - including "Planning and running an Effective Meeting" from the textbook, "Interpersonal Skills In Organizations". This is a good resource book for management/supervisory training - as well as the text I used in teaching…

I appreciate your suggestions. Some of them I already use - but was hoping for a new wheel I wouldn't have to invent. (And you all helped!) Hope you have a great day!

Cut this person loose at the first opportunity and soon - since you have documentation. You are spending way too much time with this employee who is spending way too much of his/her time on bending rules. Once in a while a termination can be a go…

We confirm dates of hire and termination, rate of pay, and job title over the phone. (Just the facts, Ma'am) If the former employee signs a release, we will verify reason for leaving in written form. Zanne

Last place I worked - we utilized one medical file that contained benefit enrollment forms. It worked really well especially when there was a benefit question. Here, we put our enrollment forms in a binder - but we have to go through the binder pe…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-19-03 AT 10:31AM (CST)[/font][p]I worked for a small hospital a while back and worked with a out of place 1960's era president/medical staff director. We were discussing wage increases and he went th…

Thanks!

Don, you are correct. We are a bunch of small banks that merged together to form a banking system. We still have many people who think that "their" branch is independent and exempt from "system rules". Not all branches act like this and we are wo…

I sure am glad that I'm not the only one thinking along these lines. Thanks for your input on this fun situation. Zanne

Should I also mention that the lead tellers don't like change and they have had two openings in the last year. One went elsewhere and the other transferred to bookkeeping. The lead tellers liked it back when the former branch manager (Note I said …

Actually Rockie - the bank is open 8 am to 5 pm - like many of our other branches. The employee's work day is shorter. That really shouldn't compress the number of transactions by branch. It's the branch that has twice as many transactions - not …

No, the other branches are getting paid the same - but more hours at a slower pace. We're in the ballpark with area banks regarding wages - and Wayyyyyy out of the ball park with our great benefits.

We offer a copy at the time of the evaluation. I think employees shouldn't be surprised by what is in their file. Zanne

At a small hospital I worked in, there really was "thong police." (actually office nurses who hung out in the hallway) They complained about a heavy set young woman that as she pushed her dietary cart up the ramp, they could see her black thong und…

Oh the perennial problem of dress code. We have cute (and curvy)college age kids and they don't understand why we prohibit midriff shirts, hip huggers, and spagetti strap tops. I have been called an "old fogey" (Didn't think that was appropriate s…

I agree. If it's a court order - do it. Let the employee fight to not cover his/her children by going back to court. Zanne

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-29-03 AT 10:49AM (CST)[/font][p]"No payroll advances" works best. I used to work for a small hospital where the Monday after payday, we'd have 10 or 15 people lined up for payroll advances. It seems…

I want to wade into this topic. My payroll person is CONVINCED that she needs to see the social security card in order to put the employee's name exactly as it is on the card. She said that it is federal law that employee's name must match what th…

Wow! I take a couple of days off to be the payroll person and look what you do behind my back! It just goes to prove that HR is more interesting than Payroll. (Are there any payroll sites out there? Do they have witty repartee like we do?) anac…

I was known as "Norm the Axe" after the Cheers show where Norm had to terminate all those people from the company he worked for. And yes - it gets VERY OLD to have employees say "Straighten up! HR is here!" Sometimes I want to say, "That's so ori…

We use Ceridian for our payroll and are trying to ease into the HR side of Ceridian. However, with not a lot of extra time or money on our hands, we wind up doing a lot of things manually and/or on excel. I encourage everyone who has to do somethi…
