We had a receptionist who dressed in stretch pants and tight tops. We solved the problem early on by sending her home on her own time to change, advising that she should not return to work unless she was appropriately dressed.

I work for a REALTOR association. I understand that there is at least one insurance company writing E&O coverage for our members who are independent contractors and giving a discount if they have taken risk management courses. I understand tha…

I am surprised that your fire marshal would allow space heaters. Your solution seems best as someone who is too cold can add clothing where someone who is too hot cannot remove clothing.

We had a past experience with the Department of Labor on comp time. The DOL allowed us to do a "self audit". Apparently they were satisfied with what we presented and did not come in to do an audit themselves. Yes, we paid a number of employees b…

We generally do adjust for holidays. I guess we missed this one since we did not observe it as a holiday. Also, most of the banks in town were open on the holiday. We did not receive any "heads up" from our service. We have agreed to pay the fee…

Fortunately, this is not an FLMA issue as we have less than 50 employees.

We pay 100% of our employees medical, prescription, dental, vision, life, ad&d and disability coverage. Employees pay 100% of any dependent coverage. We also have available supplimental insurance payable by the employee. Our costs per employee…

I would definetely recommend that you speak with your auditors. After a very large embezzlement from a long term, trusted employee, one of the management controls that our auditors recommended was that everyone on the accounting staff was to take a…

With the real estate industry hard hit, resulting in a drop in membership and expected larger drop at the first of the year with members' dues renewals, we have budgeted no salary increases or merit bonuses for 2009. We have kept our 401k safe harb…

We had a similar problem with a manager who exhibited anger to the point of destroying property. We do not have an EAP and that type of coverage is not included with our health insurance. We made anger management a requirement to keep his job. …

As she has a high level of authority and access levels to customer and employee accounts, make sure that you have adequate audit controls in place. Our company had a trusted, long term employee who embezzeled substantial funds to fund a gambling ha…

We are a real estate trade association. We have 40 paid employees and 15,000 members. Our IT needs are directed at providing services to our members. The majority of the services that we provide to them are "on line". We have automated most of …

We have had a full time IT department for 6 years. We hired an IT person when we had about 25 employees, we now have about 40 on staff. In addition we have a class room and computer lab to provide continuing education to our members. Our ID depar…

I would love to see what your review form looks like. We have one that does the job but is very lengthy. Any chance you would share?

I know you are looking for Professional Dress, but you mentioned that you are "under construction". Levis Strauss has a very nice video on "business casual" which shows how to wear Dockers etc to look nice yet be casual. They sent us their video f…

We had a manager with an anger management problem. It started at first with foul language. It progressed to throwing items......and hitting and damaging a door. The first time that he hit and damaged property we made him pay for the damages. I…

We use Time Force by Quest Software. Although it can be interfaced to a number of payroll programs, we enter our information from the time program directly into the input sheets for our payroll company. It is a little cumbersome to set up but meet…

Supervisor has spoken with employee on a number of instances.

Some of the other employees who became ill had been here less than 1 year. Most had been here several years. Yes, the benefit issue has crossed our minds. The supervisor feels that the employee has told her about her medical situation to make it …

Believing that many of our employees view not using sick leave that is available to them as loosing part of their benefits, we pay out any remaining sick leave on the books for the year after the last payroll for the year is processed. Employees wh…

It sounds like a lot of the issues are due to dealing with personal issues from the floor. We put a telephone in the lounge for our employees to make personal calls on their breaks. They can use their cell phones on break - in the lounge, smoking a…

Granted, releasing the check to someone other than the employee was a problem, but what liability does the check cashing company have for not verifying the ID and signature of the party presenting the check?

We have also made completing performance reviews in a timely manner part of the supervisor's job requirements. Additionally, none of our managers are reviewed or given an increase until their entire department has been reviewed.

The day after Thanksgiving is a paid holiday for our staff, referred to as "Family Day". It is one of our 11 paid holidays. No floating holiday.

Any employee with a reputation for threatening co-workers, visitors, the public, management etc. is a problem. Do you have a shop stewart or union rep to help intervene? We had an employee (manager)who often bullied other employees, and on a coupl…

We had an employee with a gambling problem and did not become aware of it until it was "too late".......meaning that she embezzled a very substantial amount of money over a lengthly period of time to fund her habit. It came to our attention when sh…
