[quote=Still Need Coffee;723169]I wouldn't go down that road. If you are concerned about what they are saying to each other, perhaps separating them would be the best bet.[/quote] Even that scares me. Would you separate English speaking applicants…

You left one survey question out. "No, but I've worked for a couple of weasels". O:)

We do much the same as you, except we roll out new policies or changes during manager meetings and go over the entire policy. We follow up with an e-copy to the manager. The managers are expected to cover the changes with their employees. They ha…

First of all, you need to be absolutely certain both positions are exempt under the FLSA. If they are, you do not have to pay overtime. If one is and the other isn't, you may be jeopardizing the exempt status and in that case would be required to …

Good one Frank.=D>

Welcome to the forum. We have a place under the safety section of our evaluations to list the number of chargeable and the number of non-chargeable accidents, and, one of the criteria is accident reporting.

Coffee....eeeewwww! Tea please, hot or cold, flavored or not, just be sure not to add any sweetener. I'm sweet enough as it is. :angel:

Our renewal was July 1. We were quoted a 27% increase and told by our broker we were very lucky. They had a few 65% + increases for some of their other clients.

With all of those questions out of the way, the only other problem that might arise would be company paid benefits if they are charged out to specific departments. Can your accounting department handle a benefit split? If they can, it looks to me …

You stated the condition was "obviously" a nervous condition. Are you certain about that and that it doesn't stem from a medical condition? I hate to use four letter words, but ADAA.

[quote=NaeNae55;723020] If the rates are not the same, you will need to figure out a fair rate so the employee gets a standard rate wherever she works, otherwise you run the risk of her trying to spend more of her day in one area than the other, or …

Welcome to the forum! I hate answering a question with another question, but if you can provide a bit more information, we might be able to better answer your question. Are both jobs at the same rate of pay? Are they both hourly non-exempt positi…

For non-management staff, our safety/training department does annual training. Our Safety Director has developed a nice training program. For management and executive level staff, we do annual training utilizing an outside source. Our local caree…

It would depend on the reason for requiring the degree. Is the position one that has become increasingly more complex or perhaps in a field that has recently become regulated? Requiring a degree for either of those reasons would not be discriminat…

Welcome to the forum! I really hate to give this response to your first post, but "it depends". We have discussed parking lot injuries at great length in the past and seem to be equally split as to whether comp applies or not. Best advice I can g…

Personnel file if hired. Attached to application and destroyed after 2 years if not.

I agree with Nae on the 1st three things. Unfortunately, those are also the three things they can't get right.

I've actually seen this stretched a bit. Providing mental comfort to a seriously ill spouse can qualify for FMLA. The healthy spouse caring for the children would relieve the stress of the seriously ill spouse caused by worrying about the children…

We look at it on a case by case basis. Past work history plays a big part. Also, whether or not they make a habit of it. Had an Exec. Admin Asst. who had been with the company for 20+ years tell us in August she would retire at year end, but woul…

So, how do you know when you put on a few pounds, since you can't judge by your waistband?:-/

Maybe, 'cause the rest of us didn't know what a menicus was.;)

Napel, For what it's worth, Great Lakes purchases student loans from other financial institutions.

[quote=Kevin B;722734] The employee states in her request to extend FMLA that she has to drive their child from East Tennessee to the University of Reno Nevada to help them find an apartment before college starts and care for them beacuse the child…

[quote=NaeNae55;722728] Joannie is extremely knowledgable and experienced, so I hate to disagree with her opinion. I am sure either one of our ideas will work for you. Good luck![/quote] Nae, you really weren't disagreeing with me. I didn't mak…

I have one that may actually be helpful. Employee sent e-mail saying she was resigning and enjoyed working at the company. Employee later filed for UEI. Claim was denied, employee appealed. I'll let you know how much the e-mail helps during the …

Check your past practices. If in the past you have allowed FMLA to employees who have failed to turn in paperwork, IMO, you should allow this one also. And, I'm going out on a limb here, other forumites, feel free to chime in. I believe FMLA allo…

My favorite HR phrase is most appropriate in this instance: "And this is work-related, how?"
