  • Thanks to Don and all of you who have contributed to Christmas Memories. I just want to add that the ultimate is to put all the 'kindergarten' and precious memories pieces on the tree while telling your grandchildren the stories that you told your c…
  • I also place mine in the employee's confidential file and retain as I would other employment records.
  • You might look into a software program. I used one last year and my board was well pleased with the overall result. Policies Now put out by KnowledgePoint provides an overview of the subject, links to the laws, etc. After answering questions, it for…
  • Florida - My company policy, see II.B. Longevity II. Salary Adjustments: Merit and Longevity Increases are subject to funding availability as determined by the Board’s budget. Additionally, the Executive Director must approve all increases. When ap…
  • Ifyou could provide me with resource material describing the legality as described below so I could share with my director, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. My fax is 863.534.8501; or email to [email]helen_littlefield@polkworks.org[/email] Quote: "Comp T…
  • Thanks for the input.
  • We have a process whereby the exempt employee signs a payroll sheet at the end of the pay period indicating how many days worked and the "Time off request" is matched to the payroll sheet (sheet is for all employees - small company). The accountant …
  • Go to [url]www.ssa.gov[/url] online, click on Retirement under Benefits Information and you will get the full scope and yes retirement ages are different but this is not a really recent change. 1939 retirements must work until 64=4 mo. now. Year of …
  • I thought I'd lost this text and posted a shorter message. This expands on the insight to a person with a hearing impairment. I concur that you should gather more information at this point. Talking to the employee is the best place to start but if …
  • Other issues to consider is the employees financial status. Hearing aids are super expensive ($5,000. for 2 analogs, not digital which are more), batteries are expensive and one aid can use 1 or 2 a week. Aids cause sores in the ear and aids cannot …
  • We also have a max and the employee stands to loose any vacation accrual over the max if not used by their employment anniversary date each year. A few times we had employees not plan ahead and ended the year with loosing vacation days because of th…
  • I sense that you are feeling overwhelmed with your dad's illness AND your job, it seems to much to handle. I have been where you are and it is hard to devote your mind and energy at work when your heart is with your dad. My dad lived 4 months during…
  • We also are thinking about using their payroll and HR benefits services. I'd also love to hear comments from others with positive or negative experiences. One employer in my area had a lot of postive comments about the service. Now, I am a little ne…
  • To HRQ: This person could be suffering shock and extreme grief which can play havoc on your mind. Has she always acted responsibly in the past? Sounds like a lot to consider but I do think ordering her back to work before she is mentally capable wil…
  • I can't believe money does not ever cross your palm and when it does, there is the "In God We Trust" stamped on it. Take it or leave it! For me, there is only one right way, however, I respect others and their right to believe as they wish and I l…
  • Go Annie, I'm with you girl!
  • Actually the reference Bush made "year of our Lord"...as I understand was standard language interpretation from Latin that has been in use for such situations for hundreds of years.
  • I don't usually have time to do much input for the forum but I can't let this opportunity pass me by. Yes we did observe a moment's silence, gathered around our conference room and we lowered our flag for the day. As for the reference to God, I j…
  • Is this not fraud? Is this not the same thing as lying on their application to any other question? What is your policy dealing with falsification of application. To me, the same rule would apply. In my company, it would be automatic termination. Thi…
  • So Mr. Big Heart EE wants to drop his wife's insurance, without her knowledge, I'd bet. Imagine his surprise if she was to suddenly take seriously ill, guess who would be responsible for her medical costs as long as they are married? I'd counsel him…
  • I recently began using an authorization for Release of Employment Information form. Without this form signed by the employee, I only release confirmation of name, dates of employment and ending salary. I explain to the exiting employee that it is fo…
  • The staff have until June 30 to obtain the certification. It is a new state requirement for our business. Yes, enough will comply to get the job done, thanks.
  • Definitely the term files should also be cleaned out. In seminars I have been told that you should never keep I-9 documentation. The I-9 instructions do not require that documentation be retained, just reviewed and noted on the I-9. We sign verifyin…
  • It is not so simple to purge personnel files. There are many laws covering different sources within the files. I-9's for example which should be retained in a seperate file, must be kept 3 years after date of hire or 1 year after termination, whiche…
  • I quote from Business & Legal Reports, Inc.- Useful tips for employer recordkeeping regarding I-9's: "Because I-9's contain age and citizenship information, it is probably best to retain them in a locked file, separate from other personnel files…

  • A few months ago, I too discovered that I-9's were not supposed to be retained in the individual's personnel file but rather in an I'9 File. SOURCE: Council on Education in Management - Seminar: "Personnel/HR Record Compliance Workshop Page C-11 o…
