We are able to do our criminal checks (state of PA) online and get immediate printable verification if the prospective employee has no record. If they do have a record, we must wait for a copy of it to be mailed to us (usually takes about 2 weeks).…

I think this was the topic of my very first post here. I got some great answers. Basically, you can require whatever documentation you want for whatever reasons (payroll, DOT, funding agencies, etc.), but you cannot mandate what the employee uses …

Again, thanks everyone for your objective and useful comments and suggestions. You all truly are "HR Heroes!"

Thanks for the "straight shooter" advice I can always count on from this forum! I just didn't want to tell everyone I was pregnant before I was sure everything was ok (basically they weren't able to find a heartbeat for over 2 weeks and it was NOT …

I have to clarify that my co-worker is most definitely not blabbing. I was posting my previous response when I got the message that you had posted so I don't think you saw it. I just don't understand why my boss needs to know every detail, and if …

Thanks all for your quick responses and advice! The co-worker feels badly about the situation and has apologized several times. She does not like to be put in the middle and unfortunately she has been. She did not tell anyone else. She was a bit…

There is no legal separation in PA that I know of either. We would not drop a spouse without a divorce decree (unless it was open enrollment or they had obtained other coverage). If our state did have legal separation, I believe our plan would all…

Is she eligible for FMLA? If so, you could count her pregnancy-related absences under intermittant leave. I don't think terming is a good idea unless she is not eligible for any type of leave of absence AND you have documented performance/attendan…

I was also thinking it was Dutch Wonderland. I may decide not to take my daughter there, but only because if I remember correctly, to enter and leave you have to go through the "castle" gift shop, with lots of junk right at kids' eye level!

This reminds me of the thread I just posted to ("FMLA and Grown Child"). I would give her the FMLA form and see what her daughter's doctor puts down. If the doctor states the employee is needed to care for the daughter, we would grant the leave. …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-21-03 AT 12:32PM (CST)[/font][p]If you have a section 125 plan, your employees cannot just "go on" their spouses' coverage at the drop of a hat. They need a qualifying event, and your president wanti…

As far as the misuse of the computer, definitely bring any policies you have on the topic and any acknowledgements she may have signed showing that she received them. Also, unless you can get the new employee who heard her badmouth the company in t…

Well usually our collectors are weeded out by the "emergency" line. However, I've had a couple who DO state it's important but either can't pronounce the employee's name or ask "is she there" when the person they are referring to is male. I just e…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-15-03 AT 10:57AM (CST)[/font][p]We require all employees to have a valid license. First, we have employees enter their DL info on a release and sign it. We use a company called American Driving Reco…

We complete the employer portion and send the employee portion and doctor's cert to the employee. We have them return it to us and we submit everything together. Our corporate office requires that. Like the other posters said, this way we have a …

I also work in the non-profit mental health field. We have had a lot of luck with college recruiting. Many of our employees who came to us through college job fairs and on-campus interviews have told their schoolmates about us, so it has been sort…

Oh WOW! A response from the famous Don D! I have been lurking a while on this forum but now I feel I have truly arrived! Thanks for your feedback - now I am much more comfortable explaining our rationale to anyone who asks.
