Hi K I don't want to stir up trouble, so only take my advice if you feel in your gut that you should. I'm not sure from your post if you are in HR or not, but if you're not, then I would report this situation immediately to HR - they need to be …

Providing a company with your employee's W-4 or I-9's won't give them (the other companies) the security they are hoping to gain. W-4's - just tell you how much to take out in taxes (legal name, etc.) and I-9's are for proof of eligibility & id…

I don't have much experience in this area - other than performing simple background checks on our delivery drivers, but I have a question before talking about legal stuff - why would they request that information (I-9's/W-4's) rather than just havin…

Hi everyone I apologize - I've been out sick for the last several days and have been unable to send the matrix information as promised. I have sent the matrix to those that sent their fax numbers - but I'm unable to do so for folks that sent their…

To all that requested it - I will be more than happy to send the matrix to you - however - I have meetings this morning until about 12:30 p.m. - so I will have to send them this afternoon. I hope they help - at least as a jumping off point at a min…

Don, I do have skills matrixes available if you would like to see them. They may not be aligned with the product your company makes, but they would give you a good jumping point - I do have a Shipping & Receiving Matrix that you might find very…

I just went to the calculator & found out that I could collect $496.00 a week! State comparisons In terms of benefit generosity, Washington ranks 2 out of 51 states(including Washington, D.C.). And, I can continue seeking employment for 26…

This is a great question - and I hope I can help. I'm in the middle of renewing our health insurance & selecting a new broker right now. There is a form that our insurance broker/carrier requires our employees to complete - it's called a "Wa…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-20-03 AT 04:06PM (CST)[/font][p]We have Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI). A lot of different carriers sell EPLI coverage - with varying levels of coverage. Also, your home owners insu…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-20-03 AT 04:00PM (CST)[/font][p]After a private little chuckle at A's response to B, I would get to work: Talk to employee A and let them know that when issues like this pop up - talk to the supervis…

We have 108 employees (manufacturing environment). We only do criminal background checks on our delivery drivers & accounting folks.

If there is an attorney present at this meeting, I would be surprised if they haven't already subpoenaed the personnel file prior to the meeting. Have you decided whether or not to attend the meeting?

Hi Every state is different as far as how these meetings go and where they take place. Here's what occurs in my State - or at least our local UI offices: (I'm not sure if your meeting is in person or over the phone - but I'll respond as if it's i…

Hi Belinda Here's our rule in Washington State: When a Collection Agency Contacts You The first time a collection agency contacts you, it must give its name and address, and the name of the original creditor (the business or person you owe mone…

Holy smokes - my response was in no way meant to be offensive to you Don D! I was just asking a question because I didn't understand if your post was in response to mine or not - and I wanted to clarify my statements if it was necessary.
-
Ah! Thanks for clearing it up. We strongly discourage - but we know we can't take action if employees want to discuss their salaries amongst themselves. I like what you folks do as far as policy involving the confidential nature of salaries and a…

I'm unclear as to what disturbs you about my post Don D.
-
Everyone's right - some NLRB protections include private sector as well. I would research some archived issues on this topic in the Washington State Law Letter section of this site. At my company, we strongly discourage anyone from discussing wage…

Here's a checklist I used (I too report to the CEO) - I used this list until the CEO and myself had developed a 'short-hand' with one another: Coordination of Policy & Responsibility - to include special assignments Orientations & Walk Arou…

Just my additional two cents... As HR professionals working with this issue, I think we need to be mindful of when an employee's pursuit of their rights, tramples on the rights of others (regardless of religious convictions) and respond according t…

I'm going to throw my two cents in. In answer to Paul's original post, I do believe that in the environment he's in - his demonstration of his faith, either through visuals, songs on the radio, etc. is completely appropriate. When I was in the A…

I supervise an Assistant, a Receptionist and a Office Clerk. I have looked at supervising other departments and due to their size and location within the building, it just isn't feasible. Our facility Manager (responsible for building maintenance,…

It really depends on what my workload looks like & what's happening out in production. If my workload is too high, then it might be once or twice a week - same true for production. Basically, I try to get out once a day to see how things are g…

Okay - here's our entire vacation policy - our Policy for Part Time employees is outlined in the second to the last paragraph. Vacation is an important tool for good Company morale, and the Company therefore encourages each employee to take off al…

I guess on this issue, I'm a traditionalist. I like to keep the At-Will statement pretty firm & flaunt it regularly in my handbook, pocket policies & recruitment letters. During interviews and new hire orientations, we talk about our turno…

Hi Stuart - why do you want to soften the language of your at-will policy?

And to settle things with me, Don said he would name a bottle on his bottle tree after me. See, we've worked things out x;-)
