  • Check your state laws on its smoking laws if any. Not sure if FL has any. For your ees follow your policies. I am in CA and we have state laws that say you cannot smoke within a certain amount of ft of an entrance to a building (window, door, etc.)
  • I e-mailed some forms to you. Hope they help. Lisa
    in COBRA forms Comment by lnelson June 2005
  • We also have ees out of the shop and I tend to hound them until they get me the paperwork or tell me they are waiving coverage. If they are waiving I do have them sign a waiver stating they were offered coverage and declined to enroll. Knowing thi…
  • I agree with dchr9203 - We had a consultant firm come in for approx. 1 month and go over areas for improvement, Management flow charts, SOP's, Performance issues, Management meetings,Employee handbook, Accounting procedures, etc. Some of the items …
  • I agree with Hunter1 on this generally only changes to the prescription benefit level or co-pay would all ees be notified by both the carrier and the er in my case. But if a medication is taken off the list no one would be notified by the er but I…
  • Agree with TN HR, if you want to term "J" then do it for performance issues leave the other stuff out of the equation.

  • Ileen - We put a disclaimer about At Will on our Acknowledgement of Receipt of the Employee Handbook which is signed by ee and again in the handbook within the first pages.
  • We have a 20 ft rule that they can not smoke within 20 feet of any entrance or exit door. An unused 5 gal metal paint bucket filled with sand at the designated area. We provide an area for them to use also. They are also responsible for scooping it…
  • Speak with the supervisor as to why it was approved for ee to do this. They may think they have to by law. Educate them that they do not. As long as you can provide a private place for her to be able to pump she should be able to do it on her nor…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-04-05 AT 04:29PM (CST)[/font][br][br]That would be AB1825 which requires employers to provide formal training to all employees with supervisory positions in the prevention and correction of sexual har…

  • What does your current schedule look like so we can give you an informative alternative?
  • Stellad, Is right on. Obligation is have it for THEM to pick up or mailed out on pay date. I would strongly suggest this ee sign up for direct deposit if you offer it.
  • Since the beginning of this year we have hired approx. 10 new ees basically due to terms, quits and production needs. We have a very low turn over rate and rarely utilize the temp agency. We currently have 125 ees which pretty much stays between 1…
  • I believe the new ees 401k plan may need to rollover their accounts to your 401k if you have one which you would have approx 2yrs to comply depending on discrimination testing. If you do not have a 401k then the new ees will receive a distribution …
  • The cops would probably show but about 3 hours after the call. All is now handled ees have been termed, supervisors have been spoken to about there judgemnet call on this issue. We have a company wide meeting schedule to address the issue along wi…
  • All ees have been termed but prior to terming they each gave a written statement acknowledging the event and some were distraught over the whole situation. This was the first time 2 of the ees ever received disciplinary let alone termination. The o…
  • Ee is responsible to notify the Er when they are unable to come into work. Missing 3 client meeting is unacceptable as JM in Atl stated that would be grounds for termination.
  • We are also looking into a PEO. We are hesitant because we currently do in-house Payroll and would have to source that to the company offering the PEO. They in turn charge us a low rate on W/Comp but then include all taxes for PR. They make the ch…
  • I have not come across any system that verifies Alien cards but if you do please forward the information on. Also, Pork in CA. we are not suppose to call the SSA prior to hiring for verification of SSN. Apparently, we have to hire an illegal then …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-21-04 AT 12:48PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Yes, you can discipline for attitude, failure to work as team member, disturbing co-workers, work ethics, excessive talking, etc. I agree with Rockie talked to hi…
  • In subscriber login under HR Tools there are forms you can adapt or print.
  • Depending on how many spaces we are talking about I would designate the parking closest to the building as patient parking. Allow some spaces further away from building for the tenure ees but narrow it to only 15 yr. As for the rest of the ee…

    in Policy ? Comment by lnelson October 2004
  • Agree with other posters and would recommend adding prevention of violence in the workplace policy. If you need a copy I can fax or email to you. Lisa
  • I agree with ritaanz - The MIS person should not be going through a desk looking for diskettes even if it is in plain view but rather have there own supply. Had this happened you would not have a situation. But since now you are aware of this h…
  • Not to take this in another direction but I just got a request from upper mgmt to do a wage review on 2 ees who are threatening to quit IF they do not get a raise. I informed mgmt that the 2 ees just received increases and are schedule for another…
  • For the FSA Medical Out of Pocket if they put into it more than they take out at the end of the year they loss it. Usually the TPA will notifiy the ee approx. 90 days prior to year end of their remaining balance. It is up to the ee to submit the …

  • We use the term Orientation Period - because that is what it is a time to orient themselves to our company and us with the new ee. Also it allows a timeframe prior to offering benefits until it is decided to make this new ee a "regular" ee.
