  • We have a bereavement policy that allows employees to take three days with pay. Any extra days come from their personal time. If you will give me your email address, I will be more than happy to send you a copy of our policy. Amanda

  • Thank you! I've been looking around to see if anyone else pays out reimbursement in percentages, based on grades. This is very helpful. Amanda

  • While I am not answering the questions you posed, I have a comment that you might find helpful. While researching the new regs about allowing over-the -counter medications for FSA's I have found that while you can offer this benefit, it is not nece…

  • Could I also get a copy? I am trying to come up with one. I'm new with this company and I don't believe they even have a letter. Thanks so much! Amanda (My email is [email]aingram@newnanutilities.org[/email] )

  • Have you thought about having a private investigator? If this is a worker's comp case, you could get him for fraud. If you are self-insured, all you have to do is tell your carrier that you want it done and they should comply. I have used this me…

  • I agree with Linda. She turned in her resignation before she requested FMLA. You do not have to let her rescind her resignation, especially if you were already in the process of termination. Fill her position, and wish her well. Amanda

  • We had a few employees who were resistant to change, but eventually they came around. We have several couples who were married at the time - they were granfathered in, so they had no complaints. It only really effects us when we have a great appli…

  • We have an anti-nepotism policy in place. No relatives can be hired as of 10/1/00. All others were grandfathered in. I have a policy if you would like to see it. Amanda

  • We have a vacation policy based on years of service: Two weeks upon first anniversary, Three weeks upon eight year anniversary, and four weeks upon fifteen year anniversary. Our sick leave plan is a little different. Full-time employees earn one s…

  • Great way to get a response! I should have thought of that before! We do background checks and currently have 164 employees. Amanda

  • I forgot to add... we have no payroll or HRIS system, everything is manual, including signing all checks by hand. It usually takes me two days to do payroll, provided there are no interruptions! Amanda
    in Do you do payroll? Comment by aingram July 2003
  • Payroll was just moved from Accounting back to me (only HR in company of 170+ employees). I begged for it to be left where it was, but they were just to stressed... What about me? Amanda x:'(

  • In all of our handbooks, manuals, etc., we use the words "Introductory period" and find that we have not had any problems. We ran it by the lawyer and he agreed. Hope this helps. Amanda
    in Employment Manual Language Comment by aingram July 2003
  • We use a company called Laborchex. I found that it has been a wonderful resource. Your order your reports online, and you can go back any time to check them or reprint them. They do everything from employment verification, dmv reporting, criminal…
    in Who does background checks? Comment by aingram June 2003
  • I fear that I will be facing the same isssue later this year as well. I would also like to have some information on the subject. Amanda
    in RFI/Layoffs Comment by aingram June 2003
  • I would have to agree. While you might feel its necessary to confront the two main employees causing the problem, it might be wise to have a discussion on your policies with the whole group. If you don't it may cause animosity. While you are at it…
