Ah, but the supervisors are telling me every day WHICH employees ARE taking lunch. We have the employees sign the weekly time sheets, so they do have every opportunity to review or complain before payroll is prepared. Chari
-
It happens enough. California requires a 1/2 hr lunch, so if an employee forgets to clock in or out for lunch - we assume that a 30 minute lunch is taken,and pay accordingly. No one has complained . Chari

We pay our hourly mfg. people Travel Pay ( at a lower rate than what they earn in the factory or on a job site ) for travel to & from airports, time in airports waiting for planes, travel to & from job sites . Chari

Can you mail those checks on the last day of the pay period? For example, if a two week pay period ends on Friday March 7th, you can mail the checks that same day by regular mail with a pay date of March 14th. Most times the check should arrive by…

Perhaps your policy states "up to and including" termination, so you first may want to suspend them for a certain # of days without pay ,with a written warning that more severe measures in accordance with policy will be taken for future violations. …

To get Gross Pay in these examples: EE works 7 hrs in Job A, then 2 in Job B : calculate: ( 10.50 x 7 )+ ( 9.00 x 1 )+ ( 9.00 x 1 x 1.5 ) EE works 9 hrs in Job A, then 2 in Job B : calculate: ( 10.50 x 8)+ ( 10.50 x 1 x 1.5 ) + …

Our factory's guys punch in early, but unless a supervisor says that work was done - we pay them starting at 7.30 am. And yes, in the afternoon, the guys hang around the timeclocks for five minutes , doing no work, until quitting time at 4 pm- we DO…

Just my opnion, your company policy actually discourages the reporting of injuries. Hourly workers with minor injuries won't report, for fear of losing wages while at the clinic. So a minor injury goes untreated, and the employee continues to work -…

We had in our factory, an employee who at one time had FIVE SEPARATE garnishments. After he got the fifth one, he quit -presumably to escape the garnishments. About a year after he left, he asked for his job back. In California , all new hires are r…

Our janitorial service gives us proof of insurance coverage. Also, on the other side of the coin - when we bid on production jobs, we provide our own proof of coverage just to bid. Many companies don't do business with subcontractors who don't provi…

Assuming that these people are still employed, wait until six months after the dates of the checks - after which the checks become "stale"; then issue petty cash for the amounts of the checks and have them each sign a receipt.Do you have direct depo…

The only reservation that I have with PPOs is that , from my prior experience, the premiums Employees had to pay were outta sight , way more than the HMOs were charging ! Is that still true ? Chari
-
Question- Re the 12 month-period after completing a class, is there a policy difference between "how" an employee is termed ??? I can imagine someone being laid off or fired before the 12 months is over, then while facing unemployment - being told t…

As long as everyone is treated the same, I don't see a problem. Suggest that you have your employees that want the monetary incentive to sign a document stating that they understand that they cannot change their minds until the next Open Enrollment …

Mace~ Thanks, I will write up a letter tomorrow morning and send it out to the Washington DC address you indicated. Yes, it is illogical . My spouse, who is nine years younger than me - would get a lower rate although he has lots of ailments, - and …

Our HMO set the new rates. Their theory must be that older wokers are sicker and cost more to treat - never mind that I am healthy . Chari
-
HMO went from a flat rate to an age-based system. Younger workers actually got decreases (!) in their premiums, while older workers over 50 - like me, got hit with 25% increases . Chari
-
I can only add this and emphasize : a lot will depend on the AFLAC agent you have. Ours has been absolutely great in enrolling and claims. Chari
-
Don~ If as you say, "every employee complied" - would that mean no dependent was disqualified ? And if no dependent was disqualified, what did you save ? Chari
-
On Employee coverage, the employee pays 50% of premiums for HMO and dental. Company does not pay anything for spousal/dependant coverage - which seems to be going up the most! Employee pays 100% for accident/disbility/life coverage for both employee…

Thanks to all for your replies. Actually, the CEO ( he is 70+ years old )did lose because he pulled out. I know other workers who are near retirement age, and have lost quite a bit in their 401k's ...and it seems heartless to just watch them keep th…
-
Lori- I did ask the 401k Plan Administrator, requesting info . The Plan sent me a three page listing of how all the various investments performed ~ all negative, BIG negatives. My boss, the owner of this company, has lost more in his 401k than most …
-
I would also explain WHAT kind of investment the 401k money goes into to and the RISKS involved !!!!! In these uncertain times, I actually discourage participation in our company's 401k plan - even with company 3% salary contribution, as the plan av…

Actually, your severance policy is very generous ! Our factory does not give any severance. Chari
-
We belong to an employer's association, they negotiates the rates for us. The increases were about 10-15% even so.One thing for sure, the co-pays for emergency rooms are $ 50 , while the co-pays for intermediate care is only $15- and from my experie…
-
Margaret- Thanks for your pointers. I agree with your logic. The owner does what he wants, giving different employees different waiting periods. It may just be only a matter of time, like you said. Here at this factory, logic is in suspended animati…

Don- It was our insurance broker who told us to have the owner write the letter and how to word it, in these cases. I am sure that our broker has some pull with the right people in HMO/PPO/whatever. Chari
-
The owners had decreed a 90-day waiting period since way back when - rationale unknown to anyone else. Sometimes for SOME new employees, the owners consent to a first day coverage or a 30-day waiting period...and I just submit the owners written aut…

Just my own suggestions- reward each member of Accounting with bonuses for on-time monthly, quarterly and year-end closings of the books. Producing on-time, accurate financial statements is Accounting's main function.

I have helped the new employees get in after the enrollmemnt deadline, and they really use their health benefits a lot - especially dental. It is the long time employees who cause the most headaches when they want to "save" money, drop their covera…
