Rockie has the right idea. We have a similar situation in that some people have held temporary positions where they were rewarded additional vacation days, then went back to their old jobs and were 'grandfathered' and kept the additional days. O…

We are currently trying to find all of the contracts signed throughout the company. In HR alone we have contracts with insurance companies, actuarials, auditors, pension administrators, payroll service and tax service, as well as employment contrac…

I like your system. Our supervisors are always calling to ask if employees have any more paid time available. With your system that would be eliminated. Unfortunately there are people in every company who play 'office politics'. "If I make someo…

'Terminate' is the best answer to a lot of my problem employees. Can't figure why I work so hard to keep them on board.

My thought is it would be reasonable to allow the employee to travel as long as she is able. If this was a male, relocating, willing to pay his own travel expenses, and the boss had made that promise, what would the company do? Is she entitled to …

What is the reason the director gave for the employee not being able to do the job remotely? If it has anything at all do do with her pregnancy you might as well just call her attorney and ask how much money they want.

We keep four files for each employee. It's really not that difficult. Use a deep tabbed file folder for each employee. In that folder is their personnel file folder that has all work related information like application, job description, performa…

We have them print out the acknowledgement page, sign it and return the hard copy to HR. We do have to keep up on our checklist to make sure everyone has returned it. How will you keep the electronic acknowlegement, provided you find a way to acco…

We have a Premium Only Plan (POP) at this time and will implement a Medical and Childcare Reimbursement plan in January. When we put our POP in place we didn't get proposals, just went with a provider of additional benefits that was recommended by …

I wouldn't second guess the specialist. He released the employee to full duty, so I would work him gradually back to his regular duties. If you would feel better about a second opinion, the company could always send him for another evaluation. T…

Don, Best of luck in your new position. I think your new company really hit the jackpot!

James, I get HR Hero Line, but my Friday edition was re: FLSA exemptions. Did I miss something?

Circular E, Employer Tax Guide, Page 14. You must send copies of the Form W-4 to the IRS if (1) the employee claims more than 10 exemptions or (2) the employee claims exemption from withholding and his/her wages would normally be more than $200 per…

Actually, this happened to me shortly after I moved into the HR mgr position. Payroll was handled in another dept and they put through an increase incorrectly for me. The two week gross pay was almost $100 grand and the net was $56,000. I went to…

Don't feel too badly. Employees take a certain risk when they change positions. It's a fact of life that jobs are not guaranteed and sometimes things don't work out well in the new position. I agree that you should tell her immediatly and offer …

A true HR manager will make sure the company is in compliance with a whole bunch of federal and state laws and will help keep the company out of court. Some of the Federal laws are: Age discrimination in Employment Act, Amercians with Disabilities A…

One year we set company wide goals for income and return on equity. It was determined that as certain goals were reached, the percentage of bonus went up. At the end of the year everyone in the company got 9% of annual pay. I like this teamwork ap…

What does your policy say? If the school conferences time is not to be used for anything but school, I wouldn't begin making exceptions. We address the issue by allowing employees to observe holidays not on our schedule by taking a PTO day (vacat…

We contacted our local FEMA office yesterday for pamphlets and suggestions. They said we are the first business in the area to take precautions. We are ordering extra bottled water so we maintain a 3 day supply, and are stocking canned food and bl…

We have a service that keeps our first aid kits supplied with aspirin, non-aspirin and a combination pain killer, as well as bandages and ointments. Everything is individually wrapped and employees have access to the supplies so they're not asking …

I hesitate to tell employees that someone was terminated, especially in memo form. I prefer to just say Joe Doe is no longer with the company effective this date. Employees are going to talk among themselves, but it would be good to remind them (m…

We use a job description for each position (such as Teller or Loan Processing Clerk) but each JD includes "Additional duties" where specific tasks are listed, such as "Duties may include balancing travelers checks, handling branch cash items, ..." …

Our policy is: All employees are expected to maintain high standards of personal appearance and hygiene regardless of where they work. After-hours and work not involving public or customer contact may require less emphasis on style of dress. Any …

I'll be happy to. Just let me know where you would like to have it FAXed or e-mailed. [email]nmurrell@belmontbank.com[/email]

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-07-03 AT 05:38PM (CST)[/font][p]As a bank, we allow employees to borrow at 1% less than the general public. The preferential rate is lost if the loan becomes in default of any of the terms and condit…

You are so right! It's all about emotions and perceptions. Our new risk dept won't even allow gifts under the 'Holiday' Tree for fear someone might be offended. It's better to err on the side of caution than to take a chance someone will perceive…

We have a job posting policy that amounts to the same as a promotion policy. When jobs open within the company we determine the requirements for anyone filling the position (within or outside the company). Then we post the job listing those criteri…

We only allow them for vacation pay if the employee notifies HR at least two weeks in advance of the requested date of payment. Not too many people take advantage of it because we also have direct deposit into service charge free accounts (on reque…

We converted to PTO & Carried Time Off (CTO) about 6 years ago when Scrooge worked here. We had some employees taking advantage of our generous sick pay policy while the most dedicated employees couldn't fit in all of their vacation, were never…

We file job aps by date, but also enter applicant info into a data base that shows name, address, job applied for, special status (minority, vet, etc) if known, and date of application. We also put any notes (interviewed, no eye contact, bad attitu…
