  • I am responding to the difficulty the poster's company is having recruiting for 'basic' accounting skills. The basic classes in college were often considered difficult. Lots of new terminology icons. The cynical side of me understands that langua…
  • Perhaps you are underestimating the very basic understanding of accounting. It is generally understood (I hate dealing in generalities), that the first accounting classes are the ones that most often stretch the mind of the initiate. These are the…
  • Margaret, What a kind offer. My fax number is (775) 856-6208. Thanks for sharing. Marc
  • We do not have base pay tied to attendance nor do we offer attendance bonuses. We do discipline for attendance problems. You may require recertification every 30 days with three exceptions: 1. A request for a leave extension, 2. The original situ…
  • Nat, sounds like a great idea to allow the earning back of points. Would you please send me a copy as well? Popeye, if possible, I would like yours also. [email]mnicolet@childrenscabinet.org[/email] Thank in advance.
  • When you agree to work with a company, you do so under an arrangement to abide by several policies and procedures that may serve to limit your rights. As an example, you have a right to free speech, but if you curse in front of a customer, you may …
  • We allow both, but encourage use of the internet. Some of our ees do not have credit cards and the company only gives credit cards to a very few managers with a fairly small limit. This forces quite a few transactions toward the travel agent.
  • I have emailed our form. We use the same form for a write-up as for documenting a verbal warning. We have an employee discipline policy that progresses through stages until termination. However, if the behavior is severe enough, it can step immed…
  • 60 employees in our company, 56 of them are women, so you can imagine the percentage that have children. We do not have an official policy, but we prohibit it unless there is an emergency of some sort. When they are in the office, it is very disru…
  • Here is one. G. EMPLOYMENT OF RELATIVES The Company may not employ a relative of a xyz trustee or employee unless approved by the Board of Trustees. If the hiring of a relative is approved, the employee may not be placed into a position where he/…
  • 1. Did you work for Enron's accounting department? 2. Were you an Enron auditor? 3. Is your name Martha Stewart? 4. Is your name Leona Helmsley? 5. Do you allow your children to sleep with Michael Jackson? 6. Do you beleive OJ is innocent?…
  • Margaret, Please put my name in the distribution list hat. Thanks a bunch. Marc [email]mnicolet@childrenscabinet.org[/email]
  • Our is a workplace technology policy - two years old and perhaps to extensive. I will email it to you.
  • Good topic. Many of us are experiencing similar difficulties. We are an agency providing human services in our community. That tends to attract employees that are very touchy/feely and do not handle confrontation very well. Consequently, when th…
  • What's in the Managers file?
  • The really fun part is trying to determine which of the information that she "learned" that she now needs to unlearn.
  • [url]http://www.ica.state.az.us/docs/adosh/nl_winter2007.pdf[/url] This is a link to a newletter put out by the Arizona Department of Labor. A couple of pages in is a statement that says Arizona does not require employers to provide any breaks or …
  • I think every state has escheat laws. In essence, you give the unclaimed funds to the state and they will save it for the benefit of the intended recipient. There is a process involved for the payee to reclaim the dough. There is also a time fram…
  • Go ahead and call it a show premium. Since it is taxable, just add it to their normal paycheck. I don't think there is anything unusual about this. The amount of the premium is the only kicker here, but it sounds like you have that covered.
  • They have ordered to appear by the courts. You have no obligation - they do.

  • do you also have to collect past due accounts? That would be another one that will keep you loved.
  • We have 79 EEs. I have one clerk who does both payroll and all benefits. It does not hurt that I am the CFO, the HR Director, plus the IT director (but that is a different story). That answer really doesn't help, does it?
  • It is not unusual for PR types to be upset with wage scales and the differences between their pay and certain other positions. When this comes up (and it seems to do so with every new pr clerk), I always counsel them to not be impacted by the con…
  • Yes, it is taxable.

  • There are several issues layered into this onion you want peeled. Without being overly harsh, I would begin by saying you need to do some personal research with the idea to grow your HR knowledge. The idea that you are paying an exempt employee ov…
  • This cannot be an issue as long as the person is an EE. You are granting time off - they earned X hours of time and you will give them X hours of time. Upon termination, we pay out unused vacation pay at whatever rate of pay they had at that time.…
  • We have had that happen. We went to the EE, explained the error (which she also should have caught, and since it was raise time, we computed how far into the year she would to go at current correct pay, to be caught up. In this case, it took 11 mo…
  • You have PTO and vacation and holiday pay? I thought PTO replaced those leave banks?
  • E Wart, did I understand this right? You are paying OT on vacation usage? In Nevada, OT is only paid on time worked, not on vacation or holidays or sick days.
