We have approx 700 employees - have had as many as 1200. Hiring manager makes verbal offer so any negotiations are taken care of - salary, date of hire, even job title. They have guidelines on what they can negotiate and what they can't (like th…

Apparently we're very different than everyone else here. We would pay 6 hours. But that's our policy. It states that 40 hour employees get 8 hours per holiday; 30-39 hour employees get 6; and 20-29 hour employees get 4. Doesn't matter if they wo…

Ours is kind of similar Paul. We sort of play for money. All money collected is donated to the charity of the winner's choice.

We have a "category" between active employee and laid off - furlough. Our policy allows us to place an employee on furlough status for up to 30 days. This allows them to keep their benefits (they pay their normal portion) and they do accrue leave …

Maybe under CA law, but federal allows it. Sorry, I should have been more clear that I was talking federally only and that state law should always be checked.

I don't get some of these responses. Comp time is pefectly legal for exempt employees. As long as their weekly salary does not change it doesn't matter if they work 1 hour a week or 100. You can schedule them for how you need them if they have to…

Agree with Irie. Also, if you have a copy and you missed something about it that an auditor found (like a SS card that states only valid with employment auth - not that you would miss that, but it's possible), then you've PROVEN to the auditor that…

I agree with Never. But want to add . . . I've found that if you don't term for a specific reason one of the UE fall back positions is that you termed for the convenience of the employer, and not for something specific that the employee did/didn't …

We use the worknumber for all references and employment verification except for gov't (such as info request for child support, etc). Some employers, such as us, pay extra to allow employees to get a "key" that allows those doing the check to log in…

Well . . . you could be sexually harassed, that's open to anyone. And even religiously if you are the only protestant working with all muslims, buddhists, catholics, jewish, etc.

If your PTO policy allows employees to use PTO in any increment they want, then your plan is fine.

I think our owners are twins! Our owner is wanting the same programs. Send me your e-mail and I'll send you the policies I've developed. For weight loss we are bringing Weight Watchers at Work in during lunch one day a week. If an employee mak…

I agree with the others to term for job abandonment. But there could be a valid reason for his being able to e-mail but not call. He didn't say what type of hospital he was in, did he? He could have checked himself into a drug/alcohol rehab facil…

Straight from ssa.gov "If you work and are full retirement age (age 65 and 4 months in 2004) or older, you may keep all of your benefits, no matter how much you earn. If you are younger than age 65 and 4 months all year, there is a limit to how muc…

We did away with this. We're an at will state so it doesn't really serve any purpose at all.

My experience has been that once you decide to leave it's best to leave. I was the recipient of a counter offer and did like the current company. So I told the prospective employer no thanks and stayed. It was very different after that. Any time…

Just file it in his/her file. No response is needed.

I'm in Mims - south of New Smyrna Beach about 20 minutes. Lost our barn (horse barn) and parts of the roof though no leaks. Some siding of the house also. Friends lost their entire roofs. The tornados after the hurricane (on Monday) were just as…

Elle, there is an on-line study group right now preparing for the Nov SPHR test. Even though it's geared to SPHR, I know a couple of those studying for PHR that are finding it helpful too. It's through yahoogroups, just search for sphrgroup2004 at…

My God, I think we're twins! At least we live the same life apparently. I'm also with a gov't contractor and about 80% of our employees work at gov't sites and are managed on a daily basis by the customer. We have "program managers" but they are …

Pork, you clouded it up for me again. You said, "From my "hog" eared copy of Regulation: Part 785. Section 785.1 Intordutory statement:.............The amount of money an employee should receive cannot be determined without knowing the number of ho…

We allow employees to see anything but their worker's comp file (set up this policy with atty guidance). All files are viewed in the presence of an HR rep, no file is allowed to leave the file area unless an HR person is attached to it. If an em…

Thanks for all the responses! I appreciate everyone's input.

Sunshine, I don't know of any laws in FL that say you can't give a recommendation on letterhead. If it is a law I know thousands of companies that aren't in compliance! I think your boss may be referencing the Gainesville rapist of a few years ba…

This may not help you now, but going forward why not give employees less vacation time and then just continue paying them during the shut down? There is at least one company I know of locally here in FL that does it - Sea Ray Boats. They shut down…

Yours is a difficult position but I am very glad to see that your company is willing to do the right thing. I've lived through it twice - once was a positive transition and the second, well, it was one of those times when you really learn what NOT …
