We are in Louisiana and we have several hourly ee's who work 2 different jobs. We use a computer time clock, each job in our company has a specific code and the ee's enter their time using that job code. Those with more than one job code clock in …

Let me restate the issue: We ARE paying Exempts their FULL Salary for the week the Hurricane hit, but we are taking the 2 days the facility was closed due to the storm out of their PTO banks. Our State Department is doing the same with their emplo…

We are a 50 ee company in Louisiana. We hire a lot of new grads and college kids, typically a "restless" workforce so we have lots of people coming and going. Our ee's have a 4 month introductory period, during which no PTO is "accrued". After the…

While we use a computer time clock program for calculating pay for non exempts and managing their attendance and time off issues; we only ask exempts to turn in a calendar with days worked checked (no matter how many hours were worked that day) and …

That's a LOT of terminated ee's to fill that much storage space! Turnover is a real hassle, ain't it? This is a very mobile, restless workforce we have these days. This seems to be true across the country, across the industry-business world. When…

Wait a minute , Shawn, if everyone takes the suggested week off, who will stay to try to keep the boat afloat over that week? Apparently a skeleton crew will be able to handle things while at the same time lightening the load, and then, when it is …

We are an Occupational Therapy clinic in Louisiana specializing in Pre-Placement Assessments (we call them Post-Hire Assessments). We also do Return to Work Rehab and Functional Capacity Assessments for injured workers and Injury Prevention and Ergo…

Pre Placement Assessments are also called Post Hire or Post Offer Assessments. They are done by Occupational or Physical Therapists to determine if a person hired for a job can safely and efficiently handle all the physical requirements of that job…

We are in Louisiana also. We, too changed from a sick/vacation time off system to strictly PTO - Paid Time Off for whatever reason, combining sick and vacation time into one "bank". We pay any unused PTO at termination, but have not found this to …

I think the best way to handle the issue that the word "Introductory" or "Probationary" can be seen to imply guaranteed employment at completion of said time period is to call all new employees "Temporary" employees until completion of time period t…

We have had an Introductory Period in our employemnt practices for many years now and occasionally need to extend it, too, tho I don't know if we've done so for more than one 30 day extension period. According to our handbook, while in the Intro. p…
