Okay, I'll bite. What do they all mean?
-
I think precendence has already been set in giving the paid leave, then making additional accomodations for scheduling upon return. I would hope that the GM would consider that for all other employees that follow. Now if the GM didn't really want …
-
I guess the part I have a problem with is that there was a special consideration made and when the GM decided to do that, I think that he/she should stick to it. And I think that they employee calling in sick shuld be considered a different issue, …

Responding to the ones in favor of termination: Do you terminate all employees after they have called in sick for the first day? I know that there are other issues, it was said that she was not a 'star performer' but does this mean sub-standard pe…

I bet the Japanese have that! I saw some type of home show in Japan and they had an automatic toilet. I don't know exactly how it worked, but the seat and lid stayed down and as you approached it, the lid went up. I am not sure how the seat part o…

But if you think in averages, the guys need the seat down about 1/2 the time (and during the middle of the night, but husband like to sit all of the time), the ladies need the seat down ALL of the time, so doesn't it make sense that if the seat need…

I have come across "it's a guy thang" in my household. But, we had to put some definite rules when I was found my child in trouble, standing against the wall at daycare because he thought is was okay to use the tree in the playground. I made Hubby…

I agree with RAD, it might be the ladies. As we were downsizing in our office, one of the short cuts was the cleaning crew. We began to get complaints about the conditions the bathroom, and it was mostly ladies using them. At the time, we only ha…

Thanks for the suggestion. Florida is pretty modern I guess with their UC system. I applied for UC online on Saturday, given my confirmation and time to report for my first period wages (all online too). I was also registered with the "Job Assist…
-
In Florida, the current maximum if $275. It does seem low, however, as someone mentioned, it is supposed to help the in between times and not support you. The one thing that I never liked about UC was how they used the look back period for gatheri…

Although it can not be mandatory, we have "encouraged" employees to view salaries as private and confidential and not discuss amongst themselves. We explain that in determining salaries, there are many factors that go into setting the rate and no 2…

I think Don D has pretty much covered the subject. Until Don posted, I had not seen anyone mention policy changes and that was one big point I was going to bring up. I would discuss possible changes to existing policies or new policies to implement…

We don't have a written policy, however, our procedures are that only the Director carries a card. There are cards issues for all of our clinical research staff, but these are kept locked up by the accounting department. When ever a conference com…

Another problem we encounter is that we have 2 locations. One location is in the hospital where the majority of patient enrollment is conducted and then we have an out-patient office where we conduct all of the administrative and follow-up visits (…
-
Another note on vendor gifts, how do you handle the situations where a vendor sends a few gifts "for the staff" and there is not enough to go around? Are the gifts personal for each individual? Are they "company" property to be handed out by managem…

You say that it doesn't "appear" to be mechanical failure because the truck was new. Has the truck been examined yet? Or is is just an assumption that because it is new it must be working properly? I would definitely check out the truck, and perha…
-
That is a great idea. We have 95% on direct deposit, and if you take that convenience away and make them come get it (we even walk to all stations to deliver stubs or mail to our other locations) that would certainly give employees the incentive to…
-
Of course you would notice something like that! x:7

I agree with bi-monthly being a pain. We used to do 15th and EOM and I hated that EOM period (for payroll and payables). It was especially a pain for accounting because balancing checkbooks left so many entries as outstanding. Also, the pay perio…
-
My last job, we had about 75 employees spread over 6 corporations and we used to do payroll in the accounting department. There were 2 of us in accounting and we traded off each period. It used to take us about 1/2 to process (we outsourced) and 1…

I agree. I think that encouraging people to take their time is good. As mentioned, in many industries it can be more than encouraged, but mandatory. Internal control procedures in many financial institutions will allow people to take of a day her…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-08-03 AT 09:18AM (CST)[/font][p]Our policy allowed for 34 days carryover when management decided to change. They basically gave everyone a warning at mid-year that this policy was going to change to …

Here in the south it is more like Billy-Bob and his cousin Bobby-Bill. I can't imagine having a full time job as a carcass removal specialist, but these guys were very serious and professional. Me, I think I would rather work at McDonald's!

I can sympathize with your situation. Last fall the weather would get cold then hot, not really ready to gear up for winter. With that first cold spell, it drove the rodents inside looking for better housing. We listened to a squirrel scramble th…

Another note, unless I missed it in the posts above, the company needs to be cautious about any underage employees. At events like these, underage persons may think that this is a good opportunity to be able to have a beer without showing ID, you k…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-23-03 AT 10:27AM (CST)[/font][p]I love backing into parking spaces! If there are no cars around when I am parking and I can take the time to back in, I will (I don't hold people up just so I can back…

"The reason why I do not want to do random drug testing is because I don't want to have to replace half of my workforce for off duty recreational drug use which would show up in the testing." With all that has already been said on this matter, the …

What if it is truly voluntary? FOr instance, an employee tenders a resignation for 2 weeks down the road (fairly standard), however, the employer says, "thanks we accept, however, we would like you to go home after today and not show up anymore. P…
-
Hmmm, well if the employer gets fined for using names that don't match the SSN, then I would think that we do have to right to ask to see the actual card. Even if the employee checks that box, that doesn't guarantee that the employee will actually …

It does seem like a lot of files, but we thought is best to keep medical only medical, even though it is a confidential file too. That way, if we ever need to produce a medical file, there will not be any unneccessary information. I have been to a…
