My friends in the medical community loved this. I especially liked: benign, dilate, & G.I. Series. Thanks.

God created beer to prevent the Irish from ruling the world.

Peach Bowl, Atlanta, GA., Dec 31st. Should end around midnight. The whole family and several friends will be there. Hurricanes beat Gators! Happy New year!

Success from age 4-80 is great and so true!

Cow chip fights; haven't thought of them for decades. I would guess many of our Forum members don't have a clue what a cow chip is or what consistency constituted the perfect chip? Believe it or not, I grew up in Miami, FL (20 miles north of downt…

Great, but sadly true to life! An indictment of both parties and politics in general.

One more log on the fire: Kerry's Dishonorable Discharge Mark Alexander (archive) October 23, 2004 Never suppose that in any possible situation, or under any circumstances, it is best for you to do a dishonorable thing..." --Thomas Jefferson "Rep…

mrbill: We can't compare Bush's military records to Kerry's since Kerry won't authorize their disclosure. As far as I can tell, he is the only politician of note that refuses to release his military records. Bush's entire military career (as limi…

These frivolous lawsuits would be hilarious if they didn't cause so much harm and waste so much of our court's time. Reminds me of the lady that sued McDonalds for serving hot coffee that she carelessly spilt on herself.

We had a similar problem. After convincing our Operations Director that he couldn't put monitors in the bathroom (seriously), we installed a monitor outside the bathroom that enables us to see who entered/exited the room and at what time. We made …

I would very much like to see the responses to Andrea's question. We recently had a fire drill and missed an employee that was in one of our departments; just hanging out until it was time to clock in. When we accounted for everyone that was clock…

At orientation we tell all new production employees that they must wear rubber soled shoes that are not open at the toe or heel. Most if not all of our plant employees wear sneakers. Our goal is to keep sandals & leather soled shoes out of the…

Several years ago we received 23 "No Match" letters over a two year period. We gave each individual a copy of the "No Match" letter attached to a letter from me stating the following in English & Spanish: ********************** "The …

I hate to display my possible ignorance, but I'm not aware of any law that states an employer must maintain a current employee's application. Commom sense says we should, but not legally required. The main legal reason for keeping them on file is …

Margaret: Could you send me a copy of your Bloodborne Pathogens program? Thanks. Rita M

Margaret: I also want to establish a computer policy. Can you fax or email me a copy of yours? Thanks. FAX (770)487-0840

Thank you all for answering my question. My "going in" position was the same as Frank's, i.e., I thought we had to pay from timeclock to work station. However, after reading through the website that Skoshi posted (29 CFR 785.34 - Effect of sect…

We have a written agreement with our two staffing agencies that requires them to ask every candidate if they ever worked for our company. If the answer is "yes", the staffing agency calls us. If the person was fired or had some other issue while a…

130 EE manufacturing company. HR handles payroll.

We have a similar situation in that employees may work in a department other than their primary department. These other departments sometimes pay more or less than the primary department. However, our pay policy clearly states than all pay (oth…

State garnishment procedures should be on-line. If they're not or in any event, call the "If you have questions" phone number that is usually listed on the front or back of the garnishment order. When I received my first garnishment order, I call…

I have a different slant on this issue. The issue has nothing to do with OT. The FLSA does not require OT pay for hours not worked, i.e., holidays, vacations, etc. Very few companies include holiday pay in their OT computations. I was surprised t…

Any employee that fails to clock-in/out twice in a month loses his/her perfect attendence for that month.

Yes, you do have to withhold and the requirement to send notice to the IRS starts when an employee claims 10 or more exemptions.

JRMVT: I hate to state the obvious, but what about a temp agency? They specialize in solving your stated problem, i.e., providing employees that you don't necessarily want to put on your payroll. Our company, located in GA, routinely needs sho…

What if the employee worked 40 hours and also wanted the 2.5 hours of PTO. Would you then have to compute that PTO at the overtime rate? This situation actually comes up in our company. We give 8 hours of PTO (the equivalent of one day of work) f…

Of course it's taking advantage of the company. If your policy manual is worded as you've indicated, I believe you're stuck in this case. However, why not change your policy manual? Unless you're stuck with a union it would be easy to state tha…

The best response yet is Don's comment to not just start a bereavement policy, but more importantly make it effective for this employee. I agree with the other posts. Bereavement policies have become standard in almost all work environments (2-3 d…

I'm just curious. Without an HR office/person, who did your hiring (interveiwing, paperwork like I-9s, etc), COBRA, drug screens, FMLA, work comp, and all the other jobs you mentioned?

If going to an in-house payroll system, check into Great Plains/Dynamics. Over the past 10 years we used both Ceridian and ADP. Both were good products, but we decided to save money by doing it in-house with Great Plains. We are a small company o…
