Great as always, Nae! #6 reminded me of my personal favorite: Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?
-
I agree with you, Nae, that it wouldn't be right for you to report the employee. Leave it up to the store to catch her. If employee A does this on a regular basis and the store is aware of it, they're going to catch her sooner or later anyhow, and I…

I love it!!

[quote=davids;723342] I know some communities add a surcharge to health insurance premiums for smokers as a way to encourage employees to quit smoking.[/quote] I just read an interesting article about that in today's news: [URL]http://www.msnbc.ms…

Wow, a 2% decrease? That's great! The good thing about our renewal this year was that rates didn't go up as much as we had feared. We had about a 9% increase and we had expected a double-digit increase, mostly because of one huge claim, but it hit t…

[quote=KSR6450;723332]I've worked where it was handled both ways and the rotation seems to be the fairest. A former colleague (with more seniority) would always take off during the holidays; I was glad when she retired! And did you mean to say "cl…

We have a couple of departments that handle vacation requests the same way Dutch does. If two employees request the same vacation time, seniority is generally the tie-breaker, but if it happens that the same employees are requesting the same time ev…

I agree with both Frank and Sharon.

I agree with Nae...I don't think a company-wide policy is a good idea unless there is some really compelling reason to have one. Our managers all allow their employees to plan their vacations around the needs of the department. We have some who d…

Love these!!

The drunk pumpkins idea is one I've seen several times in recent years, but I think I like yours best, Nae, with the assortment of characters and not just the puking one. My 12-year-old granddaughter carved a "sick pumpkin" this year and they put…

Nae, I think the deviled egg thing is a great idea! I'll have to remember that one for next year when I'm trying to come up with something. I like the True Blood costumes, cute but they look comfortable, which is generally my idea of a perfect co…

Too cute! I have always meant to write down the cute stuff my kids/grandkids have said but I've never actually done it. The little ones do and say a lot of cute stuff but once in a while the older two, who are in 7th and 8th grade, say something …

I almost fell off my chair when I read the name of this thread...when my niece and nephew were about 2 and 3, I watched them for a couple of hours one day. My sister called me a few hours after she picked them up and said "What is butt dust? The kid…

I especially like the last one!

After my son died, I only took part of three weeks off. This was for two reasons: one was that I was the ONLY person here at that time who could do the payroll so I came in for a few hours on several days to make sure it got done. The other was beca…

I agree with Dutch. We also require a copy of a valid driver's license for any employee who may drive on company time, whether it is their own vehicle or a company-owned vehicle. Personally, I wouldn't want to see my company put in the position of b…

I forgot to mention in my previous reply that our severance policy only allows for it to be paid to full-time employees, so that eliminates any question for us with regard to the part-time question.
-
Our severance pay is always paid at the current rate of pay, based upon the most recent position held.
-
Thanks, Nae. That was a fun way to start my day!!
-
Our policy is also [U]up to[/U] 3 days. Many times we have employees who only take one day or even just a partial day off to attend the funeral. For employees who are traveling some distance and three days isn't enough time, we allow them to use ava…

Yep, there is a book. It came out in 1973 and was written by William Goldman. I didn't discover it until the early 80's and the first thing I thought was "this would make such a good movie!" The movie is very true to the book, which is pretty unusua…

These are great! I particularly like the last one...I've been a big fan of The Princess Bride ever since I read the book when it first came out.

Most, if not all, of the required postings can be obtained for free any more, so I stopped buying our posters some years back. There are a number of online sources, including a poster advisor at [URL="http://www.dol.gov"]www.dol.gov[/URL], that help…

We just completed our renewal. Had a 10% increase in premiums on our "traditional" style plan and a 5% increase on our HSA premiums. Frankly, it was better than we had anticipated (we had some rather large claims in the past 12 months), up only a li…

Over the years, I have shared my part-time assistants with several different departments. All other things being equal, and as long as the working hours don't conflict, it can work out very well, and can definitely be a "win" for both the employee a…

Hee hee...I love it.

As a bank, we are required to have a disaster recovery plan. Although some of our departments already have their own plans, we worked for several years to put together a comprehensive plan that would cover the entire organization. We finally decided…

That's a good one!

[quote=FunHRBanker;722789]I am NOT a doctor, but I find it very odd that an orthoscopic KNEE surgery would cause the 25 year old adult male to be unable to brush his own teeth. Last time I checked, the knee bone wasn't connected to the arm bone.[/qu…
