Okay, With IT help I have a PDF of my Summary Plan Description which is more detailed than the policy from the handbook. I sent it out to many of you, but if you were missed or only received the policy and with the more detailed document please le…

Okay, I sent the policy which I have in my handbook for my employees to several people requesting it. From reading the requests it sounds like you would be more interested in the more detailed summary description plan from our TPA. If this is the …

Our policy is a use it or lose it policy. We implemented the conversion to the PTO for those that were always losing time. If they do not wish to convert the time to thier 401K they do not have to than they will lose it. It is their choice. I have…

I sent you our policy. We retain employees because we do the following: #1. Treat all individuals with respect #2. Pay a decent wage #3. Keep our benefits at a higher level than others in the area #4. Promote health and wellness at our company #5.…

I sent you the PTO policy via email. We have the same policy for all employees regardless if they are hourly or salaried. We do pay out unused PTO when an employee terminates, however, in 2007 we have a use it or lose it policy nothing is carrie…

We have had PTO for about 4 years now. It is working great for us. I really like it because not only do I not have to account for two plans, I do not have to make a determination if the employee is ill or not. They may use their PTO as they feel …

I have Fidelity also, so I guess I am in good hands. I found a couple of sites I am looking at for education. I have learned a lot about it in the last 3 years, but I want to know the whole process. Shirley

We have brokers and an administrator and they are both very helpful, but I want to learn about it for myself so I can know if we are in compliance or not without depending on someone to tell me we are. Shirley

We have a PTO system not a vacation system. Our employees earn two weeks after one year of employment, they can borrow one week after 6 months but than they only get one week when their year is up. After that it is accrued one year for use in the n…

Thanks I will go check it out. I did get lucky and find the IPPM which is the equivalent in UK to the American Payroll Association in US. Shirley

We have a personal leave of absence policy that applies to those that are not eligible for FMLA or do not qualify. In this instance I would use the personal leave of absence policy . Shirley

I agree with Rita. Remove the person that threatened the original employee that revealed this it is never okay to threaten someone in the workplace. If he is threatening what else might he be capable of doing? In our company the language he used wou…

I have the Personal Appearance code and the Alcohol Drug policy at my interviews. They know what to expect. Shirley

When there becomes a problem obtaining qualified workers that may become a concern. I am getting 60 qualified applicants to every job opening. I do not have any problem even remotely attracting new workers. I am not suprised as most of our college…

If the religion aspect comes up we will deal with it at that time. It took 25 years for the tattoo and piercing to come up. I can change policy whenever I need, if at a future time I need to I will do so. Employees do have to fit within the soc…

I appreciate all the comments and help you have given me. I took a few from one and a few from another and I came up with the following. I think this will do quite well for us. It has been passed by management and they are in agreement. Sorry to t…

Excellent! That was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Shirley

Thanks it is nice to know I am not the only person having to deal with this problem. I do have a dress code that is familiar to what you have, but I am thinking it needs to specify the tattoo and piercing issue. I talked with the supervisor and he…

We have talked about this but have not written a policy. We somewhat addressed it in a recent staff meeting. We give our IT staff cell phones so we can contact them as they are about the company working on computers. We also give our facilitators c…

We do not allow smoking on our premises at all including the parking lot. If smokers wish to smoke they need to be inside their cars or leave and go down the road aways or across the street to the motel. There is also a duck pond a block away they c…

There are a lot of different ideas here. I got some really good ones from the staff and from other HR professionals in my Department of Labor Employer's Association. It appears the staff likes those little silly puzzles that are magnetic and have …

We do have a system that measures the amount of phone calls and the sales from those phone calls for each rep in the call center. What I was hoping to find were some suggestions for small non taxable incentives. Shirley

dol.gov gives you everything. From there you can go to many places on the DOL website. Two that I particularly use a lot of are : [url]https://www.dol.gov/PrinterFriendly/PrinterVersion.aspx?url=http://www.dol.gov/osbp/sbrefa/poster/matrix.htm[/ur…

We also accept the resignation, pay the person the two weeks in lieu of notice, their final check and any accrued vacation. We than escort them to their desk to pick up their belongings and escort them out the door. Shirley

Okay, I am bowing out. I have some questions to answer on other forums and I think the conversation is way off the mark. Sorry Boullion for our wayward conversations we all have differences of opinions and some of us especially me got our dander u…

I agree with you. If you do not agree with the holiday...take the day off, enjoy...you don't have to celebrate Christmas. We have one person in the company that does not celebrate for religious reasons. She simply says I do not celebrate and no mo…

We should not back down. We should demand that English be the official language of the U.S. and we should keep our holidays and we should fight, but do we have that many fighter's left in the U.S.? My Irish father taught me to fight for what I be…

Joanne, My mother speaks well in her Native American tongue, but she can equally speak in English which other cultures have not been willing to do. You can look at my family and we do not look or sound Native American, but it is because we have ada…

I agree with you. I nor anyone I know is offended by Cinco de Mayo, Hanukah, yon kipper, Immaculate Conception, All Saints Day, Boxing Day or whatever holiday is present. The day is what it is. I do not wish to delve into anyone's faith, I am onl…

Definately not directed toward Bullion, I apologize if anyone got that idea. I just think that everyone is worrying about offending those diverse groups that are offended by Christmas and Thanksgiving. Well I am offended because they are being cha…
