Our entire company can get up to a 10% of annaul salary bonus. This is based on 15 company wide goals. Each goal is weighted and divided up by department. For example, the goal is get some new software up and running, HR's part is insuring that w…

I'll agree with Don D. on this one. I have some very strict rules on keeping religion out of the work place. I feel it is okay to have personal beliefs but you shouldn't impose them on others in the work place especially in the interviewing proces…

I've got one for you guys. We hire summer student interns every year. This year we had a student start and for his I-9 he showed us a NY State drivers license and SS card. Yesterday he comes to my office to let me know his work visa had expired t…

I would let your boss know that regardless of a past relationship, it is over now and this ee is feeling harassed. Just because you had a relationship with someone, does not give them the right to harass you. He is in a superior position to her an…

Don you want to read post #19 where it is mentioned that this ee was passing around medical info.
-
Don and Frank, there is no simple answer here. If the ee spreading the rumor about another ee's illness happens to also represent the "plan", would you allow it? If the card said get well fine but according to the post, this ee was giving out the …

Hi Skyrocket, Thank you very much. With all of these changes who can keep up? Every time I see something about HIPAA, there is always new or different information. I was unaware of the information you just shared. Thanks again!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-10-03 AT 12:56PM (CST)[/font][p]By the way, thank you for the link. I will read it carefully. I agree that it is not an employer law but as a plan administrator, there are certain privacy obligations…

To maintain privacy of the sick ee, we do not want that ee to even perceive that HR was involved with sharing their illness with any ees. Once your name is signed to the card, it could be interpreted that HR intiated or was involved with letting th…

I agree with Lida here. Don't have it sent from the company. Let individuals send their own cards. Before hngry hungry HIPAA, we used to allow ees to bring cards to HR and we would fill out the addresses for them to keep the sick ees address priva…

I sent it out! Scott

Hey Sam, I just sent it over to you with out a cover sheet. There should be two pages. The top of the first sheet reads "Federal Records Retention Chart". Hope this helps! Scott

Send me your fax and I will share what I have.

It depends if they were solicited or unsolicited. Federal records retention for ADEA say one year for solicted. AAP (Affirmative Action)or executive order 11246 requires two years for solicited applications. You only have to meet the federal AAP …

Hey Don, why not send out a get well card which announces the ee has syphillis? Maybe send them flowers? Sorry Don, you know I couldn't let it go. This time I agree with you.

Thanks Ray!

The NYDOL reg on lunch breaks is Section 162. Sorry for the delay, I have been working on a new no smoking policy and haven't checked back since this morning.

I agree with Rockie. It sounds like she should not be classified as exempt. Lately I have read case after case that the DOL has sided with the ee on thses matters. Put her back to hourly. Be careful about letting her not take lunch. We had a DO…

I also agree with what has been advised so far. Our policy is no subpoena no documents. You do not have to give way to their intimidation. My guess is that a judge wont go for this unless there is some compelling reason they need to see this info…

One of the companies I had worked for used to do credit checks on officers only. Our division president had outstanding credit. Five years into it, it was discovered that he embezzled over a $1,000,000. It's no wonder he had good credit, he used …

If you are going to be conducting credit checks on all ee, be careful. The legal update I attended said that credit checks could only be used for ees who have access to finances such as accounting people or fiduciary officers. If you use the credi…

I'm in NY. I never send a response without a court ordered subpoena. I believe here in NY the ee file belongs to the employer not the ee and therefore are not required to release without a court order. Our company allows ee to review portions of …

At our company ees are given access based on their status. When a new ee starts they are assigned access based on their name and when they are terminated, their access is terminted based on their name. While an ee is active they can change their p…

I agree with Theresa Gegen. If you are posting for collective bargaining reasons, you may have some conflict. However if your three day posting is only an internal policy, there is nothing illegal about hiring the most qualified person. Salaries …
