I was recently looking at the Social Security site and saw that they post their increases based on Cost of Living. I do not know if that would help or not. [url]http://www.ssa.gov/cola/cola2002.htm[/url]

I agree with Sonny. I also no longer have any samples, but it is good to use a rating scale and leave room for comments. I would also recommend that you are prepared to do "something" about the responses you get.

Our company reimburses at the IRS rate - currently 36.5 cents. It raises whenever the IRS raises the rate.

We work with the charity and they often have great ideas. Creating a competition setting always seems to motivate the employees...Which group can bring the most cans, food, donate the most time, etc.

We do have a policy of no open-toed shoes in our production area. It is not actually stated in our dress code, but it is stated in our safety manual that open-toed shoes are not allowed. We still have a few who will wear them in the summer, but th…

That is what I think too, but they are talking about getting a banquet room and having dinner. Then the party would be over...

Ok, here is some management's thoughts about a non-drinking party. Let's have it at a casino. The party will be non-alcoholic and be from 7-9pm. What kind of liability would we have if the employees then chose to gamble/dirnk at the casino and le…

My first thought reading this is to start documenting ASAP the changes. She could use the fact that she received a good review and then was terminated for her "mood disorder" x;-) against you.

Another possibility could be something like Harvester's or another group where employees could choose to bring in canned goods, or whatever that group needs. Perhaps you could even make it a fun competition by putting the employees into teams.

We had the United Way come and give a presentation on everything that they do for our community and about 90% of our employees now have at least a small amount of money taken out of each check through payroll deduction that goes directly to United W…

To my knowledge, that is the only reason that we do that. I also have started keeping them seperate at termination on the advice of people on this forum. There have been several discussions on what, when and where to file. Do you have an email ad…

Beth - We have a seperate medical file where we keep all benefits information and any medical information, including drug test results, doctor's notes, and FMLA paperwork, etc. I would also recommended that you keep your I-9 files seperate from eve…

Krista - if you go to this site : [url]http://www.shrm.org/learning/index.html[/url] click on colleges and universities and it gives you 3 schools in MN that offer the class that Rockie is talking about...it also gives you info. on the learning cour…

I agree with Annie - see if there is anyway that you can change policy so that they can still wear certain length shorts. Take it to managers as a benefit offered to good employees. If they come to work with any other unacceptable clothing, what w…

Beth - I am not sure what staff leasing is, however, we use a staffing agency to payroll new employees. Within our company - our largest turnover is in the 1st 90 days. We find the employees, then send them to an agency to be payrolled. (Usually t…

"I view HR as a support function and my customers are the managers and people in this company. On one hand, I believe that to refuse to provide any information would be poor customer service, but equally to provide too much information would be poor…

We are in production/service - our customers will be open, so we will be open.

We have struggled with this occasionally also. On of the times that we needed to cut payroll hours, we simply made it mandatory that all employees cut their hours by 5-6 hours per week and we cut out all overtime. That meant that most employees onl…

I am in the midwest, so my salary ranges probably do not matter to you in New Jersey, but you can go to [url]www.monster.com[/url], click on career center and then under resources go to salary center. Here you can put in your zip code and look at n…

I received this article in an e-mail newsletter that was sent to me. [url]http://www.benefitsnext.com/news/view.cfm?news_id=1860[/url] It discusses the other side of the fence.

I agree with Nancy wholeheartedly. Good for you for doing the right thing. Hang in there and it will turn it okay in the end.

I always enjoy reading the Hr Tip of the Week. I have often read very useful information in that area.

We have majority Vietnamese employees here. Some of our difficulties include the fact that in their culture, the male is the leader and is not be questioned. The Vietnamese supervisors will try to rate the men better, give better raises to men, an…

Well, I think it is unfortunate, but as long as you have your documentation in order, you should replace her.

Our company also does random testing in Kansas with no problem. However, we do not use a third party to choose the names - it concerns me that perhaps we should, if this is how everyone else is doing it. I usually have a numbered list in front of …

In reading this previous response I am confused. A list of emergency contacts can not be in the main employee file? I do have a confidential file and medical file seperately for each employee, but the only things in the confidential file are thing…
