  • Gillian, That's alot of snack food!!
  • Eclairs, Eclairs, Eclairs. Hope I spelled it right. Sad to say, I only eat one every 3 thousand miles. That's when my friend who works at a local garage picks my vehicle up for an oil change. He always brings me one. He loves them too!! He deci…
  • What wonderful news. Hope mother and son are doing well. Congratulations, Christy!

  • I joined after I began receiving our State's HR newsletter. Best thing I have ever done.
  • I believe Solomon was bought out by Great Plains about 1-1/2 yrs. ago.
  • Barbara, since there has been so much interest shown, I have emailed a copy to Christy Reedy who in turn will post it on the policy page she has developed for HRhero.com users. She will post a message on Employers' Forum giving everyone a link to th…

  • We are in Maine as well. We have just rewritten out personnel policy manual. If you would like a copy, please give me your mailing address and I will send one to you.

  • I leave 20 minutes early each day to make the daily deposit and drop off the mail. I also use my own vehicle. Currently, IRS allows .36 cents/mile and this is what we go by. When they change it, we change. When I attend meetings throughout the s…
  • Would that also apply to full time exempts? We have some employees that never see a 40 hour week.
  • I will be doing a severance check in a few days. Hopefully, someone out there has a correct answer. I had planned to deduct all taxes. However, now I am unsure...........
  • Hi Lori, I found your question and the replies very interesting. Here at my company, we accrue personal, sick and vacation time. Our exempt employees are made to use one of them for any time off whether it be 1 hour or 1 day. When questioned abou…
  • For years I have been doing a benefit package letter to the employees. It is very time consuming to prepare. Could you please send me a fax regarding this information? Thank you in advance. Fax No. (207) 622-8886
  • We require all vacation and sick time be used up before LTD kicks in. This is in our policy manual. I don't believe this state requires it because they don't care whether we allow sick and vacation time or not. However, they do care whether we fo…
  • I'm sorry I wasn't clear. First, let me just say that our payroll system doesn't allow us to withhold taxes on a weekly basis. Therefore, I track it throughout the year on a monthly basis because monthly is how the insurance is paid for. Each mon…
  • Hunter1 is right. It doesn't matter about the premium. It's whatever is over $50,000 that needs to be taxed. Also, this is a monthly thing. By that I mean, if someone leaves your employ after working three or four months, etc., you would need to…
  • We offer our employees an incentive NOT take our health insurance coverage provided they can show proof that their insurance is equal or better than what we offer. We allow $100/month for single up to $300/month for family. This is a fringe benefi…
  • We have a Section 125 through AFLAC for catatrophic coverage (cancer, etc.) and intensive care. Some of our employees have had the misfortune of using this coverage and have been completely satisfied with AFLAC's response. I wasn't aware that they…
  • I think your idea of a "Catastrophic Leave" pool is wonderful! Thank you so much. At least not all will be lost. Hopefully, they will see how much sense this would make in terms of employee morale as well as savings for the District.
  • I agree with you. Let me tell you what is happening here. Our employees were hired with a defined benefit package which included sick time accrual of 1.85 hrs. per week (or 12 sick days/year). They were allowed to accumulate up to 1440 hours of s…
  • Personal (sick and vacation) don't become a liability until it is used. Why would you want to pay off anything?
  • Yes. The plan is to give the employees short term disability at the Company's expense. First day accident, 8th day illness.
  • We had a similar situation with an employee who had been employed with us for approx. 14 years. When he no longer could do his regular heavy equipment operator job, we offered to transfer him to the maintenance dept. where he worked until he and his…
  • Does anyone know if that's the same in the state of Maine?
  • Crash, I would like to add to your questions: Do we "have to" allow an employee to use their sick time?
  • Sorry for not responding sooner. I thank you for your responses and feel better about the denial to use sick time. Maybe it's because I've been so sick in my heart that I haven't been able to think clearly. Thanks again for putting me straight.
  • Can I take this one step further? I asked to use 3 days of "sick" time (which I had accruded) to prepare the accounting for the inventory filed with the courts when my mother was made conservator/guardian of my father who is in a nursing home for a…
  • Thanks. I appreciate your response. Right now, there isn't anything in our policy to address this issue one way or the other. However, the company is planning to take away all sick time over 480 hours (12 weeks)on December 28th. A lot of employe…
  • What happens if this employee has over 600 hours of sick leave available to her that she has been allowed to accumulate over the years? Could she still loose her job after 12 weeks of FMLA?
  • We pay our GM an additional $250 a month, plus the IRS mileage rate.
  • Don, you are right. We are a quasi-municipality. When I was first hired, we were able to accrue sick time up to 1440 hrs. Upon retirement, employees were paid 1/2 of anything over 720 hrs. The State Retirement system would take all hrs. not compe…
