I once had experience with a machine that was dangerously hot when in use. Be sure you look at the "cool" models now available.

I prefer to keep the entire employment history. Among other reasons, "what if" purging is later misconstrued as having something to hide?? Since we are required to maintain records on previous employees for a specified time period, shouldn't that …

In addition to the previous postings, there is another issue that stood out with me. If I understand your situation correctly, it sounds that your vacation policy is based on "hours worked". I'd make certain there are valid and approved needs for …

We prorate PTO and holidays for all regular part-time employees based on their average hours per week using a sliding scale of one to five day equivalent. This system recognizes everyone on an individual basis rather than giving all PT's the same b…

How about a policy regarding cell phones inside the workplace? They can be more disruptive than pagers in that the call demands immediate attention rather than a callback when the employee goes on break, etc. We require that all communication devi…

Pets are known to be stress reducers, and I understand some companies are allowing it as an incentive-type benefit. I have a special critter at home, but I would think twice...three times...before inviting that kind of trouble.

We are also researching this situation. Our concern is applying the policy to employees who already have tatoos and/or body piercing. We cannot prevent the act, but we do feel it should not be evident/visible at work.

Under what situations would someone on leave qualify for continued employee rights for a year?
-
We also would like to review your policy. Thanks...... [email]honeycutt2@prodigy.net[/email]

Considering we probably don't have all factors involved in this case... Sounds like mom has been released for return to work, but wants to spend more time with baby. How does that valid personal decision impact the business? If job duties are t…

AMEN.....Be sure to consistently relate to ee's that PTO is for vacation/sick/personal, NOT just "Vacation" time.

Thanks for sharing ! ! ! [email]honeycutt2@prodigy.net[/email]

Most people view a time sheet as a method of tracking hours worked, so I wonder if your system would solve some of our problems. Would you please share more details? How do your exempts feel about turning in a time sheet used only for tracki…

Without taking time to research FSLA wording, I believe it states that any work performed during the set seven-day work week must be compensated on that week. Even if the pay period covers two weeks, each week is to be calculated separately at the …

The only folks I know who deal with double time are involved with unions and have set policies. I'm curious why they did away with the timeclock that handled this for you??? The problems will only get worse as employees line up outside your door i…

After MANY years with a timeclock, we still share your problems and concerns. It'll be great to hear possible solutions that work without crossing FLSA regulations. Our clock calculates time per day and total time per week, so MOST of our people c…

We are also considering a new timekeeping system. Currently using a computerized timecard that requires manual recalculation in the event of missed punches, etc. We have employees in and out of three offices and have occasional difficulty clocking…
-
It sounds like management could be faced with a possible seasonal layoff, which could be without pay for some employees. Or maybe they just want to get people to use their time off during the slow season and not build it up to take during the busy …
-
We experienced the same problems in the past. A prorated scale for PTO and holidays solved most of those issues. Holidays were a problem when we had some folks working four ten-hour days because they wanted 10-hour holidays. Ditto the advice to p…
-
Without knowing the details, this sounds like another case of someone wanting it all. How can a full time position (40+ hours) be accomplished in 3-4 days, except maybe if they are scheduled for 3 twelves or 4 tens with the realization of additiona…
-
We round only once--total time worked at the end of the work week. Years ago we rounded daily, but had too many people working the system.
-
Do you have someone on staff qualified to teach such classes? We located a certified instructor through the local fire department who will come to our site to teach CPR and other life saving techniques. Many of our medical office staff are req…

We have an employee who has occasional seizures. Her manager is concerned about our Workers Comp liability if she were to be injured by a fall. She is in an office environment with no "dangerous equipment". We have her on intermittent FMLA for …
-
Mandatory education should be compensated. However, there should also be some method in place to regulate the compensable time. Would it be okay to determine the feasible time it should take to complete the program and process pay for those hour…
-
I agree with publishing the entire salary scale. It helps each employee understand where they are and how to set future personal goals. There could be some issues regarding equality should certain employees choose to discuss their individual plac…
-
That might depend on the definition of "temporary". Payroll administration could become a nightmare, and staff morale could hit rock bottom unless reasons and consequences were clearly understood. It might be expected in businesses strongly affe…
-
To get away from the "hourly" terminology, could the agreement be based on percentages? The job is reduced by a determined percentage and, likewise, the salary.
-
We have had a couple of experiences through the years. One person holds a "position" for many years, and the responsibilities steadily increase as the business grows. That one person manages to "do it all". But when that one person leaves, manage…
-
Understanding there are always "exceptions", do employees tend to stockpile PTO hours for a 50% payout rather than taking at least some time off? What do you think of an option for transferring 100% of excess hours to a separate STD account? Als…
