  • We are not laying off the employee again - she will be able to stay. The Executive is not talking... not sure what happened. There are times I think I am talking just to hear myself talk- maybe this time they listened. Thanks for all the posts.
  • I think we should honor our word to the employee we re-called. If we were allowed to keep both employees - I would not object to him changing his mind. Because we cannot financially keep both - I do not want to allow him to change his mind. Th…
  • I receive 10% of my salary for reaching goals and objectives. They allow me to set my own goals and objectives. We have a review at the end of the year stating G&O for the coming year.
  • We have BCBS - Alabama - and a four tier plan, paying at 100%, less co-pays and deductibles. The company pays 95% of the employee and 85% of all others. Employee - $330 Employee + Children - $569 Employee + Spouse - $725 Family - $1006
  • I would also like a copy - this might be a great tool to get me some help. Please e-mail to [email]arichey@mscoinc.com[/email]. Thanks!
  • From the sounds of each posting being a one person HR Department is the norm. The forum helps when I am overwhelmed - I read postings are know I am not the only one. I am a list maker - if I make a list - everytime I cross an item off I feel I am…
  • I also get a lot of applicants solicited and unsolicited who leave a message asking me to call them back about the status of their resume. I will not call them back - if I have called them that is different - it is fine to leave me a message aski…
  • I use Profiles Plus [url]www.pplusevaluations.com[/url]. They have a test for Sales. Applicants can complete the test on-line. Very helpful with many Sites.
  • I had this same situation happen - I implemented a policy that I must have written approval from the Executive. On many occassions I have referred back to policy and refuse to move forward without the written approval. Because my Executive (V.P. a…
  • Thanks for the input. I always explain to any employee who wants to put their common-law on our coverage that a divorce decree will be needed to remove them. In most cases that discourages them from adding their common-law spouse - but we do have …
  • We also send them alone for testing with the exception of reasonable suspicion. The Manager tells them they have been selected for random and they stop working and go directly to the testing facility. So far we have not had problems with employee'…
  • Are the exempt employee required to clock-in/out?

  • We do air condition - many age groups - some are warm (those are appropriately dressed)those less dressed are cold and use the heaters. It is actually quite funny.

  • If we officially close the office - we pay the employees. If the office is open but they elect to stay home due to weather - they can either use vacation or leave without pay. (We have employees that live in rural areas - they at times cannot get i…
  • Do the Employees scheduled to work get the 4 hours at another time or will it be added to their weekly total? If some employees gets 4 hours paid and others are going to have to work and not get the 4 later my guess you will have a lot of unhappy p…
  • I stand by our policies for payroll, attendance, etc. The policy of the host company regarding safety, dress code, and the shutting of the facility we follow their policy. They reimburse us for holidays that are not on our schedule. We are paid …
  • We work the same shift 4 on 4 off. Most of our employees who are on this shift really enjoy it. I would probably get a lot of grief it we tried to change it. Good Luck!
  • What everyone is our particular case forgot was, everyone kept their job during the buy out. They were more concerned that they lost bonuses from $25 - $250 (depending on length of service). Most made twice their bonus in a week. I can bet few st…
  • We had this same problem - we bought a company who gave Christmas Bonuses - we gave a gift (t-shirts, jacket, etc). The first year the companies were merged the employees from the new company wanted both and got them. Bonuses and the gift. The f…
  • Typically a 40 hour week, I use to work from home in the evenings and still work a 10 hour day. A new baby stopped the long days and working in the evenings. I do it occassionally but not as a habit.
  • He is going to sign an acknowledgement. We had a long discussion about "at-will". He doesn't like it - but agreed to sign. Thanks!
