Bye B'man and good luck. We'll miss you. Thanks for your contributions to the Forum.

I'm not familiar with Michigan but here in Ohio we have to report all new hires. They say it is to catch deadbeat parents. In Ohio I only report someone we actually put on our payroll. I do not report any temps that we use through an agency. I w…

Do a search for "turnover". This subject has been discussed in many posts. Merry Christmas!
-
I would merely tell the other two candidates that the position has been filled and thank them for their time. I don't think they need any further explanation. The fact that it has been filled should suffice.
-
It has been my understanding that anyone who expresses an interest in an open position is considered an "applicant" and must be counted as such. This would apply whether they filled out an application, sent in a resume or applied on line. Their re…

Our "no smoking" policy. We are a "non-smoking facility" yet we have designated smoking areas within the building and people still smoke in the restrooms while the owners look the other way. Oh yes, smoking is only allowed during breaks and lunche…

Agree with the others. You don't want to set a precedent for future incidents when someone walks off the job. Follow your attendance policy for job abandonment and proceed accordingly.

You are absolutely right Don. It is the worst thing I have to deal with. Give me FMLA or ADA any day over the OFCCP and their affirmative action plans. I hope some they they are dismantled and only hope it's during my time in HR.

They said if we were more than six months into our plan year which started 1/1/04, we have to give them year-to-date information from 1/1/04 to 11/30/04. A whole new AAP will be done by 1/31/05 but they can't wait.

Our company handles it the same as Dutch2 and it has worked well for us.

We had a few employees do this, thinking they didn't have to have tax withheld because at the end of the year they would get it all back due to various exemptions. Our payroll people contacted the IRS and were told that the employee still had to ha…

Definitely contact your labor attorney before responding; let them guide you through this. No way would I handle this on my own for fear of possibly doing or saying something I may regret later. If you back yourself into a corner on this, you may …

Identity theft happens quite often, not saying that your supervisors aren't honest people, but why give someone carte blanche to this information? All that is needed is a name, SS#, and DOB, for someone to open up credit card accounts, etc. in some…

There is an actual suite of offices for the University of Phoenix here in Cleveland (actually Independence), Ohio. I don't know anything about them but they do physically exist.

We have used Cintas for many years as our uniform provider and have been very satisfied. Good luck with your program B'man.

Go to the FOL's website to see what they say about uniforms and deductions. Also check with your state DOL. [url]http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/whd/whdfs16.htm[/url]

You remember and you're absolutely right on.

The "here we go again" means that the owners always seem to do things to adversely impact our bottom line when it comes to insurance, unemployment awards, etc.
-
Here we go again Don. It's the owner who made the job offer even after knowing all the information. I mentioned something to him yesterday about it and the fact that we're 14% over our insurance projection for this year. I got a "deer-in-the-head…

The I-9 form at the website is still dated 11/1/91 so I don't think it has been updated.
-
I too have to do a Vets-100 report and do the same thing HRCalico does. I ask this question at new employee orientation. If they are not a veteran, no need to go further. If they are a veteran I ask for the branch of the military they served with…

About two years ago someone was having prescription pain killers filled at various pharmacies under my health insurance. It was a person who has the same name as mine and they were getting these prescriptions filled every two weeks. I reported thi…

We don't provide any time for voting because our working hours are such that employees can vote either before work or after work.

In our manufacturing environment being one minute late is being late and points are assessed. If we had 20 people a day being one minute late, that would be a lot of unproductive time. We can't tolerate that. When employees start complaining abou…

We're celebrating the Christmas holidays on 12/23 and 12/24. The New Year's holidays on 12/30 and 12/31.

We retest immediately for a diluted sample. If the second one comes back diluted for a pre-employment we don't hire the person. If it is for a current employee through our random drug testing policy we let the MRO review.

I still do it the old fashioned way--by hand. I too have a separate sheet for each employee and record their daily attendance on it. I track for about 160 employees and it isn't a problem. I've been doing it for 15 years. It takes me less than a…

Rockie: Their complaints might be petty to you, just as your complaining about them may be petty to your supervisor, but to these ladies, they feel that their complaints are legitimate. As someone who has been there, it is frustrating to only have…

HR Insight had a very good article in their October issue about not challenging unemployment decisions. After reading this article I understand why some cases should not be challenged. Perhaps this was one of them. I'll never know. Thanks for al…

Sorry, but I can't tell you. However, when I say "gross" misconduct, I mean really "GROSS" misconduct.
