Of course, that wasn't entirely the issue. THe company was losing money because we had so many people that banked their time, and instead of taking a day off, they would work over earlier in the week to get Friday off "for free". With their superv…

I would bring both "proposals" to senior management to see how they want it handled. We changed our leave policy last year to require exempt employees to use PTO for any full day absence of a regular work day. They also have to use PTO for any part…

Here's my two cents. The degree is MUCH more valuable than a certification. While PHR and SPHR are "nice to have" they are NOT necessary, especially if you have BA/BS or MA/MS in HR or business. Many companies advertise wanting PHR or SPHR but th…

I don't know what's going on above. I got an error message that this forum was moderated. Then the post appeared multiple times. And when I tried to delete the bad posts above it said I didnt' have permission. Anyhow, here is what I tried to wri…

All insured benefits and leave accrulas are effective/begin date of hire or date of eligibility (part time going full time). 401(k) is 1st of month after 90 days.

To answer your other questions, just answer them as best you can and seek out answers to questions that aren't part of what you would/should know. You may discover that some parts of the handbook are too ambiguous and needs to be updated with addit…

It doesn't sound like you deducted anything from the paycheck so you're in good shape there. We send a letter to their last known address requesting the return of the tools or payment of $XX.XX to cover the replacement cost. We add language that if…

If you took both exams you can only recertify the SPHR. Per HRCI "The SPHR exam supersedes the PHR designation; therefore, the PHR and SPHR cannot be held simultaneously."

Go to the forums at shrm and click on the one for HRCI/certifications near the bottom. There are a lot of good study groups that come out of that forum. Learning with others is often useful, you get good discussions and info from the others in the…

Every month we publish the birthday list. Employees are told this when they start and are told that if they do not want their name/birthdate published who to contact to get removed.

I don't see anything discriminatory in how your plans are set up. You can offer different benefits or no benefits to different classes of employees. Exempt, managers, or (fill in the blank). Just as long as you can define it as a distinct class. …

[quote user="topo814"] I am a product manager, a salaried employee, so one would assume that since I work on a salary basis, I wouldnt get paid hourly, right? WELL... each paycheck that I get, says 35 hours for the week... and if I have a Dr appoin…

Maybe. Exempt or non exempt? Do the days off cross weeks? Will exempt employees be working at all during the work week? Most likely they company can do this. And they can require that you use PTO/vacation to cover the time. For non-exempt em…

I agree with a lot of the other posters here. Also check your state regs, they may have laws on the books that require time off. FL just implemented a law to that effect.

Ruth is right . . . unless your company's policy or practice has been to include PTO and/or holiday hours in the calculation for OT. At our company ONLY hours worked are used as that is all that is required. So for the example you gave the person…

I require the ability to learn. But I think it would really depend on the position requirements. I've been in environments where the HR Asst was really just a receptionist/secretary for the dept and other environments where the HR Asst processed b…

I'm up for it. If we're close enough to do lunch type meetings. Meetings at night are difficult at best for me. (school, kids, home stuff, you know, the real life!) I'm over in the research park area by UCF.

Since I don't work (and have never worked) for a company that even thinks about not paying someone every pay period, I'm having a bit of a problem. Sure, I understand the theory that I make, let's say, $52,000 for the year. I also understand (and …

We have always viewed it as the employee earning an extra check. Although our exempt employees are paid based on an annual salary, we view it as an annual based on 26 pay periods or 2080 hours for a year if they worked 40 hour weeks (in our system …

Our employees track all time worked. For any time not at work they must record PTO. So yes, we would pay those 4 hours out of their PTO bank.

We have over 550 nationwide. No "national" celebration. We have about 150 here in my building locally. We have a monthly full sheet birthday cake once per month (ice cream cake in the three summer months). In my dept we have 9. Our dept goes to l…

HRDir gave good descriptions. I can add a few things. From an employee perspective HMOs are very restrictive. Generally they have to go to their primary care provider first and can not see a specialist without a referral. They also generally hav…

Reviews are vital to the employee-employer relationship. It lets employees know where they stand, what they are doing well, what they need to work on. I've found them invaluable when proceeding with a termination (when reviews are done appropriate…

It will depend on your corporate culture. Does your company often celebrate holidays and "seasons"? How does sr. management feel? At our company, we celebrate everything.

We don't allow accrual when out, whether it's wc or std or anything. Even FMLA doesn't require it. I have seen nothing that says ADA or FCRA requires it. Robert, if you have the cites I'd like to see them.

We tax it at the normal rate. Of course, if it increases the weekly check by much it may push into the higher tax bracket and be taxed at the higher rate.

[quote user="jhazzard"]dhall111 - hoping you might specifically see this.... or someone with similar experience.... We have recently begun working on government projects where they are willing to pay OT. Our employees are exempt Professionals and I …

[quote user="TXHRGuy"] Making deductions to an exempt employee's pay or leave banks in increments of less than one full day (except for FMLA related absences) provides affected employees with ammunition to challenge their salaried status, potential…
