We stopped using gift certs and cash as "recognition" because of the tax issue. EE's felt (and fairly so) that it stunk to receive something as a reward and then have to pay for it! We use things like Logo polo shirts/coffee mugs...semi-practical c…

We've used personality styles (based upon Myers-Briggs) as a entertaining discussion...it was useful not only at work, but in personal lives as well to see how different styles communicate and how to make sure what you think you're saying is what th…

We have one and it is outsourced....primarily to protect the ee. If it's run internally, you'll end up knowing way too much and never be able to "unknow" the information...or ee's will be afraid to use the service.... Ours works well...and I'm freq…

I wouldn't be crazy about providing that information...especially if you think that you're in a position for a reduction....your president may have his judgment clouded by such information and make a decision that seems to be the best personal one, …

There was a convenience store located across from a local high school that was shut down recently for peddling such things....how sad is that???

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-05-04 AT 09:15AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Do you have a drug/alcohol policy??? If so, it probably states that such things cannot be consumed on company property, regardless of the "on the clock" status. A…

I think Moses meant that for every 8 hours an ee donates of his/her personal time...the company pays for the 9th hour. Did I get it right??

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-04-04 AT 12:31PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Thank you all for your input!!! I know this could be a nightmare to oversee...but in the long run I think it will benefit everyone!
-
It depends on how the fund is governed...we are entering into a contract to offer this benefit...frankly, I think that while the entire workforce would benefit...the ones that feel they can "afford" to will be the upper management/directors...the on…

We considered this as well...it's still up-in-the-air. So many phones have this feature, whether you want it or not!! What we are likely to do is ban the taking of photographs within the building. The concern is to protect our client's private info…
-
Those ee's could fall into the same category...we have a generic form that is OK for basic ee's but we think there must be a better tool for employees handling the financials of a company...

Sometimes a regular web search will turn up a few that you can adjust to meet your needs. We have found that they are nearly impossible to enforce--so we really don't bother. Instead, we have language in our "code of ethics" that is intended to pre…

Do you have any expected codes of conduct for your managers/supervisors? While being boorish is not illegal...it certainly can be against company policy. Is this the mold you are seeking in your "higher ups"? If we could document the yelling/scre…
-
We have run into similar issues....frequently evidence bearing the signature of someone not in the room to testify will be ruled inadmissable. It is a waste of time to haul 30 people into a hearing to support written statements of information. Gen…

Just the facts... Now that you've heard this information, it will be nearly impossible to pretend you don't know it...and any little issue that arises will be attributed to this piece of gossip.
-
I agree with the progressive discipline process...we do it here too.. First infraction: verbal warning (which is documented) Second: Written warning and we require ee's to sign the form...so they can't later claim that they didn't know. Third: It…
-
I agree.

SkillPath is pretty good too...their trainers are perky and get people involved. You can either take a scheduled class or they will send a trainer to your business to develop a program for you. We used this for contract negotiations, and found them…

As a private employer you can place all sorts of requirements on the work environment. No politics means no politics. Hopefully, you have a policy detailing progressive discipline. and remember however you handle this ee is how similar situations w…
-
The very first step is to advise either the employee or applicant that you will be doing background checks. This can be a statement on your application or for a current employee by drafting a new policy and circulating it appropriately. Many 3rd pa…

Actually, the original post does state the the supervisor wanted to reduce PTO and not offer a pay increase due to the benefits he/she perceived that the spouse has earned before being deployed to Iraq. I think the link between this and a spouse wi…
-
It sounds like the supervisor is due for a refresher course in what is business related and what is NOT. The parallel I have to draw is the wealthy doctor's wife that works. Is it justifiable to withhold raises, for which she would be otherwise eli…
-
I'm guessing the ee is no longer with you, otherwise you could just ask if there is a pending job application or something. There should be a telephone number...the other option may be to plug that form number into your web browser and see what com…

We just finished writing such a policy/procedure...the upside is that you can weed out employees that might be prone to violence or criminal behavior. The downside, is that you need to have a tight policy that is fair to all individuals that will b…
-
I understand your concern about your managers. I would make sure any "marketing" materials provided to the ee's regarding these events state clearly that there will be NO business impact on your participation or lack thereof...and make sure your man…

Also check with your state DOL....some states have specific requirements, too...
-
We're pretty much on camera all the time...after a while, you forget about it. But we do advise ee's that there is no expectation of privacy here...not the phone, pc, conf. rooms....pretty much just in the bathroom!!!
-
Our company's concern became that we didn't have a uniform policy. Each department was doing it's own thing...and we've run into a few situations that a "policy" would have been helpful...so we've taken on the task of developing one...especially sin…

I have nightmares about this project!!! Some big penalties have been levied against companies at appear to destroy documents without rhyme or reason...the courts view this with a negative eye...think Arthur Andersen and Enron. If it's not in your …

We are in the process of developing a document retention/destruction policy. A number of great sources are available on the web...just do a simple search for "document retention". Basically, we've determined that any policy begins by defining docum…
