In our business, parking lot management, individuals who knowingly falsify their application, are not permitted to apply again. Because our employees have access to customer's vehicles plus any and all personal information that may be inside, we co…

I had a similar challenge several years ago when I started with my current company. I was the 8th HR person in 6 years and the first with any previous experience! I was not aware of all that when I was hired or I may have re-thunk the job! Out of…

I have several employees where we pay different rates depending on the job. You might want to check your state laws as to the effect on overtime. In Oregon, overtime becomes a blended rate of the two. You pay everything at straight time, figure t…

Thanks everyone. That is the conclusion and rational we used but wanted some confirmation.

I run on average a current payroll of 425 employees and by year's end will usually issue between 750 - 800 w'2s. As a result, I had to find a easy way to store i-9s! I have two 3" binders that I keep the current employees filed alphabetically. I …

Just a note of clarification: per the news release of 06/21/05 from US Citizenship and Immigration Services: "Aside from replacing outdated references to the Department of Justice and the former INS with references to DHS and its components, the cur…

"We do police checks, when we have a reason to suspect someone with a bad record and/or a "bad person attitude"." What determines this characterization? I would think this would be one of those "do all or do none" type checks after job offer is is…

We treat all inquiries the same, whether from a finance company, mortgage company. apartments or attorneys - if you want anything other than dates of employment and job title - need a signed release. One note of caution regarding a situation I am d…

One approach we have tried that really "weeds" out the users who are adamant about not using: our lab will take a hair sample. Almost all, if not all, illegal substances will show in that test for 6 months - far longer than urine or blood. It's a…

Will this new program allow for verification of how the name is actually listed in SSA's files? For example, if a name is hypenated or not? That is one of the reasons we have required SSC's, if available. We hire a lot of immigrants whose culture …

First, I would caution you from providing any of that confidential information to anyone other than the employee or in compliance to a subpoena. You don't know if the so-called spouse or parent is really who they claim or if they are entitled to th…

Check out Publication 505, "Tax Withholding and Estimated Taxes", Page 10, RULES YOUR EMLOYER MUST FOLLOW. Gives the information on what W-4's the employer must file with the IRS. The information used to be printed at the top of the W-4, but they …

I don't know about Kansas law but in Oregon there is no limit on how far back we can check for criminal history. I have actually had individuals who committed the crime over 7 years agao but through various court dates on still on probation!

Another good option is OpenOnline. They have both an east coast and west coast office. You are able to access a lot of states criminal databases by the internet and they also provide a really good tutorial program and white papers on procedures in…

"Circular E, Employer's Tax Guide, rev January 2003 Page 8 4. Employee's Social Security Number (SSN) You are required to get each employee's name and SSN and to enter them on Form W-2. (This requirement also applies to resident and nonresident a…

Because the nature of our business leads to high turnover, we interview/hire three days a week. We require the new employee to complete the I-9 before the start of their first shift. You would be amazed at the number of people who have little, if …

I would be cautious about attaching photocopies to your I9s. We had an immigration attorney tell us it is better to not have the copies. His reasoning was that if you have copies and INS can determine by looking at the documents that they are not …

We have been using a company called OPENonline (formerly Commercial Information Systems in Oregon) for about the last 5 years. We are extremely happy with the results. We are able to access 27 state correction databases online. We can also access…

In the 'HANDOOK FOR EMPLOYERS, INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING FORM I-9' (Dept. of Justice, Immigrations & Naturalization Services), the question is listed: "Q. What should I do if the person I hire is unable to provide the required documents with…
