Ah! Now I understand (or at least I think I do). I wouldn't do it for that reason - I would do a bonus amount instead. Once employees, make more, for any reason, they get used to their rate of pay, i.e. home loans, credit loans, car payments, etc…

I'm curious - why are you considering this type of situation? I offer part-time employees a slightly higher rate because they are not eligible for benefits (you can set the classifications for benefit levels), but why do it for full-time folks? x:…

I'm glad I'm not alone, I just received my weekly email from D.D. as well.

Pork - you are so good! Great response and it's exactly how we do it around here as well. x:-)

Why do you need their medical records?

I'm so happy that you are on this forum Don D.

Hi Nevada - I'm happy to hear that everything went well for you. If I'm really interested in an applicant and they get a 'ineligible for rehire' I do usually tell them so they can explain/clear things up. If I'm not interested, then I don't and le…

You're welcome x:-)

Yes I am telling you that you can say that to an applicant - especially if after learning this information from the previous employer it affects your determination to either offer a job or not. The applicant can either provide an explanation or the…
-
Here's a few things: 1. You can try asking the applicant why they would say that she isn't eligible for rehire. 2. Another I do when I get that response from a former employer is ask, "Are they not eligible for rehire for their previous positi…

Here's our policy - I've inserted 'company name' in place of our organization's name: Reference Checks and Verification of Employment All inquiries regarding a current or former Company Name employee must be referred to the Human Resources Manager…

I'm in Washington and we only give out applications if we have a position open. We do this mainly because of the amount of work involved when we randomly accept applications. For example, when an application is accepted at our company, we have to …

I agree with Balloonman. We require a full release when someone has been restricted from working by a doctor - regardless of whether or not it was work related or personal. If she says she has a note - then follow up with her & ask to see it -…

Okay, so it sounds as though your company is doing this for morale reasons and not because they have the misguided notion that they have to pay this money out or even offer vacation in first place due to Washington State Law. I ask this, because I …
-
Wow - you work for a great company! Is your company union or did the company choose to allow vacation accruals for morale reasons?

First, don't be stuck in the middle. If the employees complaining don't want to reveal their names or speak directly with the person they are having the problems with, then chalk it up to a 'vent session' on the part of the complaining employees. …

I'm going to go contrary to everyone here, except on one issue. You will end up paying for unemployment. I would fire them all. In order to make sure the same thing doesn't happen in the future, however, you need to have management think about th…

I'm tired of arguing with you on these points and responding to all of your attacks on what I have to say. I too enjoy the forum, I don't need a break or a day off from it - only from you. So, I am going to agree to disagree with you and I'm movin…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-23-03 AT 01:11PM (CST)[/font][p]You have incensed me Don D. and I think you have turned this post into a personal soap box. I did reread the original post, and you are correct, I misread it and wrote …

I don't think squishpig is being selective in following policies, nor do I believe that her personal opinion is affecting her judgement on this issue. The original post said that they could do drug testing if their was a suspicion of use. There's …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-22-03 AT 06:19PM (CST)[/font][p]I think the forum is a great place to even blow issues up and beyond what they are called for as well. The idea of the forum is to present differing viewpoints, or on …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-22-03 AT 03:03PM (CST)[/font][p]I actually have quite a bit of experience in this area - and I stand by all of my responses. At least we presented two sides or courses of action to take and squishypi…
-
I'm going to weigh back in too Don D. Although your experience sounds pretty heavy duty, the post doesn't. A bag of pot was found. From the post, they don't know if it was an employee or if it was Santa Claus. The post doesn't mention any other …
-
Unless you know who did it - don't go on a witch hunt. It's not worth it to morale and you probably have better things to do with your time. Make sure that everyone knows on the shift that you found the pot and then tell everyone about the drug po…

Thank you POPEYE for sending the job descriptions - good stuff. Call me a geek (wait, I may have walked into something here x:-)), but I am really excited about this process and HR's role. As I go along, I'll probably use the forum to post my ques…

Pay in Lieu of Notice and/or Continuation Pay with full benefits that are guaranteed can affect the receipt of unemployment benefits within WA state. Also here, you must have 680 hours of work during your base year to be eligible - if you have less…

Check with your state's unemployment office. Unemployment laws are different in every state. In WA you can collect unemployment, but a severance package could limit the amount you collect or delay payments.

Do you have auditor's (CPA's) inspect your records? Our accounting records came back just fine, in fact they were telling us we should borrow x;-), but one of the strongest recommendations that came back was to have credit checks performed when hir…
