I wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole. (Sounds like your vender is wanting more business.) However, you might want to talk wiht your W/C carrier to make sure (most do this anyway) that they check your employees with their network hook up to se…

If you have security on site, which can be good, I recommend they be plain clothes. You don't need to embarass the employee in front of others... can make it worse. Just have him "hanging around" outside the conference door and then follow the emp…

Thought I would fill you in on the latest events. First, this employee is production in a plant, not office so no computer or emails. I am in Atlanta but this plant is in another very small town where everyone knows everyone. The phone calls hav…

Well said. E Wart

This is interesting. I have never had anyone ask this. I guess it is just "common sense and common knowledge" (especially since salary and other confidential information is included)among HR folks. If anyone questions it, ask them if they would l…

I would love a copy of this as well. [email]ewarthen@newcombspring.com[/email]. I am interested if TX law is different than any of our other locations. (I know your w/c is a pain). E Wart

I too have had this work out well. However, employee has to decide when he/she wishes to retire, not you. Once they start questioning you about their retirement, then bring it up. (You seem concerned about getting their job replacement trained …

One of my prior employers (large public corp.) had a policy of retaining disciplinary action information up to 3 years. Normally, if the employee hasn't improved during that time, they are gone. If it is something that is reoccuring and you have't…

It sounds like you are asking for an ad. I would just say "Full Time". You are paying by the character and the 37.5 hours per week would be expensive. You can define "full time" either in your hand book or just face to face with the applicant whe…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-28-06 AT 09:56AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I too wonder why he is being treated this way. Do they do this to all employees or is he just being singled out? Also, do they have an attendance policy (points f…

I have mixed emotions about exit interviews. In one sense, they provide employees a time to vent. However, does anyone ever really use them. In another life, I tried to do exit interviews on each employee who wanted to do one. After several wit…

We are manufacturing also. This comes up about 3 times a year. The receptionist is "supposed" to take a message and they are delivered or put with their time card periodcially throughout the day. Employees have a company phone they can use during…

May be consider something like "National Accounts Customer Service Specialist" (since it sounds like this will be her main duties.) Could also consider NA CS Coordinator, or NA CS Administrator. However, I think that is an "iffy" term. I like Spe…

I have gone through this before (but not quite like this). We had one employee leave and go with a competitor and then he would call and talk with his other friends at work, during work, and recruited about 8 people to come to that company. At firs…

First, you may want to say "postpone" not cut. Also, who is going to keep up with all this data? I don't have time. Also, what about the other 11 months of the year. Are you going to measure only the prior month? what about the rest of the time d…

At one of my previous positions, I had 2 new mom's who wanted to work part time. I had one work Monday - Wed. and the other Wed-Friday. They had specific things they did and were able to handle this quite well. They worked together on Wed. to cov…

Usually 10. We "recalulate their time to 4 x 10, even for holiday. We look at days they work and don't work and end up with their floating holiday my be more or less than 10 hours depending upon their schedule. (ie. If they work Monday - Thurs. an…

We pay a limit on what we pay for the glasses and have a program set up with Walmart & the other company that has Optical Depts in their stores. They can bill us for the entire thing. We pay for it and get an authorization to deduct from emplo…

One thing I forgot to mention... I didn't know if your payroll provider did your tax filings. This is something to look at as well. (Been very happy with Ceridian on this.) Ask too about how history is transferred. (I am assuming you have some w…

We use Ceridian for payroll and have Fidelity as our 401k provider. Fidelity has approached us on this as well. We may consider it one day but we have some "funny things" being done with our payroll and I don't know if they could support this or no…

One thing no one has mentioned. I hope you contacted the temp agency and let them know you are going to offer the job to the temp. Otherwise, you may have to pay the temp agency for "buy out'. Even though temp applied on their own, they sig with …

We have an area of the country that in order to get experienced employees, we have to go "outside" of our vacation schedule. However, what I have encouraged the Manager to do is have them apply the vacation schedule as usual (no carry over allowed.…

Call your dept. of labor. I have had them out to do workshops for employees. Explain the unemployment process, explain what they have available for employees to help them with resumes, and job search. (They have business center with fax, copy, an…

I recently had to talk with one of our GM's about smoking breaks because of employees' complaints. (He is a smoker too.} He got defensive and made every other excuse... but in the end I think he saw that there was a double standard for those who s…

I know that this sounds picky, but ae your reporting "how many days since you have had a lost time work INCIDENT or are your reporting to the employees how long it has been since an employee LOST WORK due to an INCIDENT. If the first, the date of t…

Janieb, first of all, I would suggest you have a meeting with your Group Insurance broker, if you have one. If not, call up your insurance company and meet with them directly. Also, make sure you have a copy of your Plan document. Are you totally…

I am just wondering what you would do if one of your employees came in and said his live in girl friend's father died. Would you give him time off for this too? Do you have a time line as far as how long they have "lived in" or "been a partner"? L…

Rockie has it exactly right. Don't apologize or say you are sorry. Just say after x amount of time, you feel that this (job co) is not a good fit. You will be hit with unemployment, but if only employed 90+ days, won't be much. Better to get out…
-
Before I took off and did anything more, I think I would sit down with the employee and let her know your concerns and you just wanted to make sure she felt ok. (I wouldn't volunteer anything more than that at this point.) If she said yes, let her…

One thing that I haven't seened mention is if this 50 hour work week is only through July (4 weeks) and employee is to be out 6 weeks, even if you require the 50 hours each week, it would only be for the weeks in July. Now, I agree with most of the …
