  • But you'll still get to buy new posters each year for three years!! Surprisingly we've only received three emails, three snailmails, and five phone calls so far to order new posters. And from experience, those OFCCP auditors ALWAYS look first for …
  • Nae Nae's response is better than mine so I defer to her. And as Frank said this could be a significant turning point if it's handled correctly. Push back time!!
  • No doubt just airing it out should have helped you a little bit! I'd approach the manager with a "you know you've screwed up and now you're going to have to fix it" attitude. This is his problem not yours. Then outline your options as you have: …
  • I have only heard small bites of what's going on with the Senate's debate on Immigration. Anyone have any news other than hearsay?
  • The piece that Basic Pilot is missing is the ability to identify fraudulent use of another person's name and SSN. You are correct that you have all the info you need to make a legal hire and your company has no liability if that person later is sho…
  • I'm not answering for Pork, but I'm sure it was the information furnished through the Basic Pilot program that ICE (new acronym for Immigration) used to conduct the Swift & Company raids. They used the info to find the fraudulent users and iden…
  • I agree! Many employers, especially in labor intensive manufacturing environments, would be very surprised/shocked at how many "good hires" became ex-employees.
  • RE: Nevada HR, NV 4. "RE: Pending Immigration Legislation" We use the Basic Pilot system. So far all our employee's SSNs have matched the name in the database. It's easy to use and is comforting to know they're legit. 10. "RE: Pending Im…
  • Please forgive me for recommending the "other" site, and clearly HR Hero has placed some excellent info on this site. Thanks. Would you agree that it is premature to make judgments on the proposed legislation other than identifying weaknesses and…
  • It would have to be a very large nut! The document is over 300 pages and it includes a guest worker piece, a amnesty that's not really amnesty piece, an expanded verification piece, a substantial increase in penalties piece, increased border securi…
  • I listened in on the webcast and it was somewhat interesting. The bottom line is most of our representatives don't understand the true workplace and struggle with reality. I don't think there's a snowball's chance the current drafted bill will be …
  • Lesson of the day is, whether you provide copies willingly or receive a subpoena, be very careful what information and material you place in the Personnel file because it can and will be held against you!!
  • Did the originator of this thread ever get an answer? He identified his workplace as a nonprofit and faith based program. If mine was a faith based workplace I would certainly have the expectation that my employees at the very least supported the …
  • Just to add a little twist, we also have a no no policy but we do allow ads in our weekly newsletter. In addition we have committed to certain causes as a company where we ask for voluntary donations or food items for very legitimate causes. Right…
  • Just a wild guess, but was the seminar presented by a consulting firm that will "help" you develop an employee engagement plan? Actually our corp. is committed to engagement and it is more meaningful than satisfaction. Two way communications, feed…
  • We drug test everyone randomly at least once per year. We employ a diversity of vocations from truck drivers to waste water treatment, etc.. Even though there is an expense involved, it is minimal in comparison to the avoidance of drug use by our …
  • We're the same as Ray stated. It also keeps the process consistent and within legal boundaries. I also have responsibility for wage and hour issues as well as salary ranges. Farming out the offers would cause some heartburn for me.
  • There is a legal issue with charging them pto time for time missed if you want to keep classifying them as exempt. Tracking their attendance isn't really an issue because you have to be able to identify patterns of abuse. But you cannot deduct hou…
  • Ouch, ugly turns really ugly! Hang in there, not much else to offer since it's obviously out of your hands for now.
  • So your problem isn't with the selection process, it is dealing with a manager who doesn't know the rules. You need to start with not only instructing him in discriminatory practices, but also that email is not the method to inform people why they …
  • This has all the characteristics of a fishing expedition. I wouldn't even bother calling them or having any contact at all until I received the subpoena. Any acknowledgement or contact on your part could encourage them to continue. If there actua…
  • Saw this article today; there may still be hope for Minnesota after all: Muslim cab drivers at Minnesota's biggest airport will face new penalties including a two-year revocation of their taxi permits if they refuse to give rides to travelers carryi…
  • I would only add that our avoidance of the issue, our attempt as a country to be politically correct throughout the 80's and 90's, has emboldened and empowered these radical extremists. You can look no further back that the 1980's and the Iranian c…
  • Ah good, another protected class; haven't had any new ones for awhile. It is a little surprising though that it happened in MN instead of California, where most bad legislation starts. We all know there will be lawsuits and there will be good compa…
  • It has been my experience that pay rates or ranges should be known to employees. In unionized environments everyone knows what everyone makes, so there is no secrecy. We have done this in nonunion plants to avoid that claim from organizers. The on…
  • I have to assume all or most of the posts so far are from non-union environments. It has always been our practice to provide employees of any disciplines, including terminations, at the time they are issued. Just as you require their signature (or…
  • >I keep terminated personnel files for 7 years >just because that's a rule of thumb in some >instances. What is the actual # of years we >need to hang on to them? With the evolving HIPAA regulations I believe records retention…
