Don, I don't remember the exact month I logged on...but I do remember that you were JUST at 900 hundred then.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-14-03 AT 12:38PM (CST)[/font][p]I found the HR Hero website in the Iowa Employment Law letter and went there to see what it was like. I found the forum on the website. I was very hesitant to chime i…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-14-03 AT 12:47PM (CST)[/font][p]I too judge email addresses. I agree with Don, they do say who the person is, not the persona they put on for the interview. Vulgar tattoos are also an item that is j…

We too have a no fault attendance policy. We had an EE who had been with us 8 weeks or so. she had been tardy 14 times in 8 weeks. She was tardy from 1/2 hour to 2 hours. She had another job as a bartender in the evenings. She had agreed this w…

If the survey data is that old, then I would age it to get as close as possible. Aging survey data is a common practice in comp. This will help you even if the data is only 6 months old.

The 8 & 80 rule is one of those secrets we HR folks don't find out until we happen on it. I didn't know about it either until I took my current position at a medical center. Learning is a good thing. Maybe you would like a transfer to healthc…

We have this same policy and all of the tax implications fall on the recipient when they actually use the PTO. It doesn't matter what the conversion factors are (your example of $20 to $7).

We are an Iowa employer. We are on the state line next to Illinois. We have to allow IL residents to claim IL taxes because IA and IL have a reciprocal agreement that allows this. I have been lead to believe that employers don't have to withold a…

All scheduled PTO counts towards OT. We don't have paid holidays. You have to use your PTO to have a holiday off (we are a medical center, 24/7). Bereavement is considered scheduled time off. Although, bereavement pay is not rolled into our PTO,…

Yes, offer COBRA benefits to the family members of the deceased. We offer COBRA for Dental and Medical. I don't know if dental is required, though. My guess is no. I'm sure someone will let you know.

We have no waiting period. But, say your date of hire is Oct 20th. Your health insurance will not start until Nov 1st. We are self insured and use a TPA. It is our choice on how to set it up. Our premiums are monthly, not per pay period. What …

I would count anything related to taking car of her son under FMLA. It sounds like she is taking a lot of time, though. How close is she to the 12 weeks if you count all of it?
-
If you want to avoid requiring a doctor's note for every absence you can consider having employees update their interrmittent FMLA paperwork more often. I moved to quarterly updates so that I could ensure that employees were still under a doctor's …

I know I am viewing all of this quite a bit after the fact based on the dates of the items posted. But, we are definately struggling with this one too. I am also a migraine sufferer and know how bad they can get. But, it also seems that we have a…

Wow. I feel your pain. She sounds like she is a little narcissistic and paranoid. She needs to see a professional. Apparently the screen saver was just the beginning. OK, I'm done feeling your pain. I'm going back to work now. Good luck.

Our employees accrue each pay period and are awarded what they accrued on pay day. They Can't use the PTO until they have worked the 520 hour probationary period. We have no accrual limit. The first year of employment they earn 25 days (or 8 x 25…

The directors and managers premiums are 100% paid by the company for individual and family. The rest pay 10% individual and 30% family. The executives are in a seperate corporation and theirs are also 100% paid for by the company.

I hope you got that dog house from Tammy Faye and it was air conditioned!!!!!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-17-03 AT 02:41PM (CST)[/font][p]On the surface I would say no. You can check with your company insurance provider, though. I would guess that you provide this person with a per mile reimbursement ra…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-12-03 AT 11:11AM (CST)[/font][p]With all of this going on, the time, effort, money, etc., why don't the congress critters understand why the cost of health insurance is going up and up and up. They m…

We have not had a problem with requiring the notice in any of our court cases. We have a union. The union accepts it in the contract. Oh, and (I forgot) registered nurses have to give 4 weeks notice to leave in good standing but 2 weeks notice to…

This is another advantage to a PTO system. We do pay all awarded PTO (it is accrued each pay period and awarded on pay day) when employees resign and give the required notice (2 weeks for hourly and 4 weeks for exempt). All others forfeit. We do …

We are all supposed to understand that the ban on SUVs is just for us, the little people. Government folks have a higher need than the rest of us that justifies their use.

Don: I knew Texas used to be another country and I knew that a lot of folks on the left coast wish they were a seperate country, but I didn't know they already were????? The state I live in is struggling too. I hope you don't sell anything in Iow…

You don't address attendance issues as related to sickness or illness. Only deal with scheduled vs. unscheduled. The reason they were gone isn't the issue.

We recently changed to posting the range on the job posting. We have not seen the negative side that the previous post mentions. We also see it as a way for employees to see if the job would be a move up (in pay) or not. We do not, however, post …

I admit that anything that caused this amount of disagreement and bad feelings amongst any goup of employees would be very unwelcome. Based on past practice I also admit that the management team here would ban such an item. It just isn't worth all…

We only got about 10 inches. It sounds like those folks in Philly and DC are having more fun than we are. All those years I lived in Texas and missed this. What a shame.

Welcome back!!!!

Boy, isn't this interesting? Tempers are flaring. This is an uncommon occurence on the forum. Where is the right not to be offended in the consitution? I missed it. We, as a society, have become waaaaaay too touchy.
