  • Where I work, the supervisors approve or deny vacation time. We accrue vacation time on a monthly basis. I send a list to the supervisors that shows the balances for their staff. It is up to the supervisors to make sure their staff members have e…
  • Sorry to reply so late. We are a recently unionized company. The employer used to pay 100% of dental premiums for the employee and their dependents for all employees. We have about 75 employees. Since the union contract has been signed the union…
  • We use an accrual per month system. The last paydate of every month you accrue vacation hours. It works very well.
  • we have 2 separate plans. For one of the plans, the employee makes contributions and for the other, the employer contributes 5% of the employees monthly wages.
  • Thank you!! This is just what I was looking for.
  • I thought so, but the supervisor is bugging me about it. I'm not one for causing problems. This supervisor tends to think everyone is out to scam the system. Thank you for your response.
  • Thank you for your reply. The ee still qualifies even though the paperwork I received from the doctor states nothing about bedrest? It just states that the ee requests to be out of work for fatigue related to pregnancy, not that the doctor recomme…
  • My understanding of past practice, (and I could be wrong) is that it starts when the union agreement starts. So I guess my answer to you is no. You may want to check with your attorney regarding this issue.
  • nohr4u1yr, I am was also a victim of domestic violence while I was in college. My friends and roommates were a great source of support for me. I can also see the employee's side of this. You're afraid worse things will happen if you leave. Thing…
  • We have the same policy here. An employee must work their full scheduled day before and after the holiday. So the 5th does not count.
  • Our policy is to extend up to 6 months as Whatever and ray a have mentioned.
  • Thanks for the info!
  • I have to say that I agree completely with Don. This person did not deserve nor has the right to the option of resigning. At my organization, they are told what they have done is wrong and that we are terminating their employment.

  • Thank you for all of the advice you have given. You will be missed. x:-( Good luck with your new career. I wish you well.
  • Although I am not in the same 24/7 work environment, we had problems a few years ago with the issue of vacation based on seniority. Seniority does allow for the same people to get the same time off every year. We adjusted it so that if you had the…
  • I know in RI you need to get a permit from the town where the raffle is to be held.
  • We pay less the miles from home to work. We do not have a separate plan for those receiving a monthly allowance.
  • The email I received stated they would not be available for mailing until December 2004 as the I-9 is new for 2005. I don't know if it is a gimic or not. Definitely use the site listed in a prior post to download the form for free. Don't pay for …

  • I believe the proper steps were taken. The company should put a workplace violence prevention policy in place. Be thankful the employee spoke up about the incident.
  • Actually I am involved. I don't sit in on the negotiations, but I do help review the contract and make suggestions and discuss items with the Executive Director and a few of the other managers. I didn't mean to make my comment sound as though I wo…
  • I have to say that I'm not looking forward to these types of situations. Our contract negotiations with the union start today. The union was voted in in July. My company is using an HR Consultant who specializes in unions. This means I do not ne…
  • CONGRATULATIONS! :DD Good Luck. You deserve it.
  • Hi Mike- I currently work for a company that shares certain employees (mostly IT) with another company. It has worked out well so far. We bill the other company for the use of our staff and they bill us for use of their staff. The heads of both c…
  • We went through this recently and the union got voted in. The employees were unhappy about a few things and we thought it might happen. We realized somwthing was happening when groups of employees would go behind closed doors and talk or would sto…

  • Karleen, I also work in a healthcare center. We have a policy regarding staff children in the workplace. The policy states that there are many problems with bringing your children to the workplace while you are on duty for the following reasons: 1…
  • We offer it. It's $130 per month for individual and family with proof of insurance through a spouse. You are eligible for the incentive when you are eligible for insurance. We pay it out quarterly.
  • I am doing as asked and told. I have started my search about 2 weeks ago. Hopefully something better will come along. If anyone hears about a position available in the Rhode Island/Southeastern Mass area in Accounting Management and/or HR Managem…
  • The ees view me as one who didn't do anything wrong. Upper management sees everyone as having done something wrong. The managers are viewed as wrong due to not having seen this coming. Attending a union avoidance seminar/workshop was not in my job…
