If you don't have a "testing policy", I wouldn't touch it unless you have a witness that has seen this happening while at work (especially if on work property and then you still shouldn't test.) In my former life we had a customer call and report on…

This is also SMART. If they have an attendance problem with an employee, they already have their signature on a piece of paper that gives their expectations... employee can't say they didn't know. I am sure this saves a lot of trees and not having…

One thing that I don't think has been mentioned is your company's policy and the process of job posting within the company. Isn't there some type of "coordinator" for this that puts up the postings, accepts and reviews internal applications for qua…

I heard an estimate yesterday that it was going to cost USA over 2 1/2 TRILLION dollars to get the Immigration bill up and working. As I am sure we all know, the government has never come in under budget. (I wonder how many levels of red tape ther…

Shirley, You said it.... one of the best morale boosters is just a thank you. Earlier this week the person in charge of "safety" at our plant and I met with our W/C safety engineer (which we do 4-7 times a year.) The last 3 times, nothing much tha…

This is the only way I have ever done severance, pay it out just like someone was still employed, regular pay period. Most of the time employee cannot collect unemployment during this time. Also helps him prepare for his termination since will be "…

Any time you "state salary" you should state in smallest time frame they are paid in (ie. if hourly, state their hourly salary; if salaried and paid weekly state weekly.) There is always the horror story of an employer who stated the employees sala…

I don't know if this would be "physically possible" but have you ever thought of hiring a school teacher who teachers "English as a second language" to come and teach some classes (say last thing in the afternoon or even at night.) You could say th…

Are you talking about your "Retirement Plan"/401k? If so, yes not only should your provider remind you when you have to distribute the annual letters, but normally will either help you write one or give you a template. Also, your internal auditor…

Same here. I think of it as if we were open, what would she been paid? That is what we would owe her, if it is a "declared" company holiday and this person is eligible for the holiday pay benefit. E Wart

Allsteaks, I think you may be wrong on this. I think you can dock their PTO/Vac or whatever. However, if they run out, you can't dock their pay for part of a day. E Wart

This must be something for NJ only since I have never heard of this (or don't understand what you mean.) E Wart

Not sure that what I say is "the law" but will give my input: 1) When putting together an AAP, you do have to provide information on applicants. Maybe this is what he means. (When I was audited by the EEOC, over 20 years ago) they did ask for thi…

You are right, they are not supposed to bother employees (at work.) If creditors do call it is my understanding that you (and your employees)can tell them to "stop". They are not to call your location/this number again or you will report them and …

At a former job we also had a "medical questionnaire" that we had employees complete after they were employed. This was used only for the GA Second Injury Trust Fund (for W/C if you had reason to know that someone had or were treated for injury/ill…

I don't know about KY, but we have a "consent form" in our application that explains they can obtain a copy of our policy and they consent to take drug screen if asked. Insert into the application. E Wart

We have been told by our "MRO" that the same thing that HRguyNH said. It can be just someone who just drinks a lot of liquids. We have had a couple of situations where someone was on some medicine which caused/required them to drink water which c…

I too have never heard of any problem with "goodie letters" going in file. However, I normally do not retain them more than 3 years. (I had one employee once who must have had a "form letter" she gave to all her clients, since she got about 15 a w…

Follow your policy. If it is no tolerance (and especailly when out on the road), then no tolerance is no tolernce. Make sure there are 2 "employers" in the room when he is dismissed. You violated company policy and it is immediate dismissal. (No…

We are non union. We pay for the rest of the day of injury. Also, if employee is out for an hour or so for dr./pt apts., we pay for this (under a special payroll code so we can gather this info as well as not pay OT on it.) However, we "encourage…

I would love to have a copy of it if you will share. It has been a long time since I had my last audit and would love to see what has changed. (I didn't know if you wanted to email/fax or mail. [email]ewarthen@newcombspring.com[/email] and fax is …

I don't know what type of business you are, but if you are dealing with any type of "Industrial Clinic" type of business to provide/actually do your physicals, they will work with you on this. They know all this stuff to do. You will need to just pr…

We have some employees over 65 who are only on our group policy, some that have only Medicare, and some who have elected both... and ours is primary. It all depends on how your plan is written. However, if it isn't addressed (if you coordinate be…

I am sure the door had a manual by pass, but maybe the employee didn't know it. However, did they bother to pick up the phone and call anyone. Also, is this the first time this person has been late? I wouldn't call this catastrophic. E Wart

I wouldn't. I would say that these are company property and that if she needs copies of these, she can subpoena them. Sounds as if she is going to Dept. of labor or an attorney trying to build a case. (I don't know how many years back she is aski…

I hope you had some type of "agreement/contract with the guy". Also, would you/are you going to send him a 1099 for his taxfiling. (If you had a contract, you should have gotten his tax ID no. and/or his ss #.) I would submit a copy of his bill. D…

You are correct, you can deduct full days for exempt employees. However, if it is due to sickness, I would advise you to get a policy in writing. (When can they begin using PTO, can it be taken in less than full day, do you have a sick pay plan th…

One rule of thumb that I always tell my supv. when considering a lay off (which you didn't have the chance to do in this case) is that they would not anticipate hiring any new employees in this area in at least 6 months, and if they do, they offer j…

If you have a "job abandonment/call in" policy, I would use this. Just say that he has not reported to work for x no. days, you have tried to reach him by phone to find out why (left voice mails and haven't heard from him). Therefore you consider …

I HATE Titles. They are such a "ego" thing. They don't have a thing to do with what a person does, how well they perform, and how much they are paid. I wish we could do away with them all together. (I loved it once when I met with someone and th…
