  • We keep the job descriptions in a three ring binder. Each employee is given a copy of their job description and a copy is kept in their personnel file. If any changes are made, updates are done at that time and copied in the appropriate places.
  • This sounds similar to what I asked on September 25th, under Evaluation forms. Check it out.
  • I would refer this to one of the many lawyers that visit this website for advice. Good Luck!
  • Our fiscal year is July - June. We will more than likely do a max of 3.5% based on the employee's evaluation. Hope that helps!

  • We made the switch in October. The most obvious positive for us was that you didn't have to come in to get your paycheck if it occurred on a day when you were on vacation or sick. Also, for the hourly employees that didn't always work on pay day, …
  • A little late in responding. We are in the tourism industry and always have the chance of a political official stopping in. So it isn't a matter of "party pooper", just not professional.
  • I attended a COBRA seminar last year that was awesome! In their handouts they showed samples of the general notice and election notice. We didn't realize that a general notice was required prior to that seminar. If you want a copy to go over with yo…
  • Forgot to add that vision is included in our BCBS plan. You may want to check with with your broker at renewal time to see if this an option for you under the rider category.
  • We have Blue Cross Blue Shield (Blue Preferred) for health (employee pays $390 per year), Guardian for dental (company pays 100% of dental) and Security Mutual for disability and life (employee pays $120 per year for life, company pays 100% disabili…
  • Yes, we went shopping too, but when they did the health surveys and examined the past year's health history of the employees we had to remain with our current insurance carrier, which is a great carrier.
  • We are a small company with 22 employees. For the first time, our employees have have had to contribute to paying the premium. Each employee pays 11.5% for the monthly premium. We are looking to raise this percentage next July at renewal time but a…
  • This year we will be given Christmas Eve off as a paid holiday. However we will be open on New Year's Eve. Anyone who has earned vacation can take December 31st if they so desire. Think how much work can get done if other people take off on New Year…
  • You should keep some kind of notebook for all your COBRA stuff. Keep a copy of the letter you send and staple the certificate of mailing to it. That way it will be easy to locate if need to reference it. Also being redundant -- certificate of mailin…
    in COBRA Comment by cedupree August 2001
  • Hello, I attended a COBRA seminar back in February 2000 and in that book they had samples to go by (i.e. general notice and the election notice). In regards to insufficient premium paid your seminar should have referenced there is a "short paymen…
  • 1. Full-time new employees are entitled to one-week (five days) paid vacation earned at a rate of one day for each full month of employment, beginning with the first month from date of employment through the fifth month of employment. 2. Full-time …
  • Even though she turned in her keys you may want to remove her from any access codes into the building (if applicable). Also, you will need to put a temporary greeting of some sort onto her phone and email so that calls can be forwarded without getti…
  • You may want to do a search in this forum. I think this topic was brought up in the fall of 2001. Good Luck1
  • Presuming these aren't stand alones, your server should have a location where you can even restrict the time the computer is available, along with passwords. That way after certain hours that computer(s) is locked. However, you are right about needi…
  • We are a small company. The employees get ten days at the first of each year of their anniversary. New hires have to wait 90 days, then they get the ten days. Illnesses of three or more days may require a doctor's statement.
  • New hires - one day a month for five months. 1 yr but less than 5 years - two days a month for five months. Completed 5 years + - three days a month for five months. Completed 10 years + - four days a month for five months. This does not include si…
  • In a job interview, one is not to ask any questions that would reveal whether the prospective employee is married, has children or is pregnant. When they are hired, the insurance forms will have the question about marital status. Which as an HR pers…
  • In our policy manual, we have a category for electronic communications. The computer equipment was acquired by public funds for the business use of our company. The employees know the computers are not used for personal pleasure, entertainment or pe…
  • I feel it is two-fold. First, each company should have an attorney to help them with their own state rules & regs. Secondly have a policy manual that an an attorney agrees that is legally sound.
  • Also, we had the luxury of an attorney reviewing our policy manual. I would recommend you do that as well, as the attorney would know of GA laws.
  • Hi, there. I am in TN and not familiar about state law in GA. However, our policy manual states that a full-time employee giving notice of termination is entitled to the full amount of unused vacation pay for the current anniversary year and for any…
  • We don't have a set policy. However I was forwarded an email from UNUM Provident, a major corporation in our city, what they recommend to their staff. You could use similar verbiage. Hope this helps you! Anthrax is not contagious. It is an acute b…
  • Thanks for the clarification!!
  • Dorie, could you email me over the maternity/paternity leave info. Do you have any extra info on the adoption assistance? Your notation said for further info to go to Human Resources. Also how many employees does your company have? My email address…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-15-01 AT 09:02AM (CST)[/font][p]I guess there aren't any companies that have guidelines for employees that adopt. Adoption is becoming more common and not secretive as even as late as twenty years ago…
