I did just about the same thing, WOCO - except that at the Birmingham Galleria (AL) the stores opened at midnight - so we went shopping from 12-2am getting all the specials along the way. First time I've ever gotten all of the really low priced spec…

Happy Birthday to all of us! I'll be 33 on Friday and don't usually get to celebrate birthdays (something very unbirthday-like always happens on July 25th) but I keep trying every year. This year it's a cabin in the woods for the weekend. Margaret…

Nina (i think) sings 99 Red Balloons - and on the other side of the 45 was the same song in German. (99 Luft Balloons - or something like that, I don't speak german, but it sounded pretty cool when she sang it) Tammy

I agree, this is fun - Soap name: Leigh St. Ann Exotic name: Aja Moffett or (this is slightly more interesting) Lil'Puss Kenwood - I did NOT name these animals. Those were cats, the only dog I had was male, and his name was Prince, so it really d…

Thanks for the information. I'd love to get more information, as I broought this issue up to them months ago, I am currently an exempt employee - but my job duties classify me as non-exempt, as well as the supervisors, but the PTB make decisions beh…

In our Northern Virginia office the accounting assistant leaves early every day for a trip to the bank and post office. She is paid milage and leaves approximately 20 minutes ahead of her regular end time. We trust her with the cash, so we also trus…

My spouse's company offers an "opt-out" bonus (about 30.00 a pay period) and he works for a multinational government contractor. He collects the opt out because the insurance at my company is much less expensive. We do carry some insurances with his…

We are going through a non-exempt/exempt audit - this is the way it has come down from the PTB around here. It makes no difference whether you pay a non-exempt employee on an hourly or salary basis, except you must pay them overtime. A Salaried e…

Manufacturing plant here - since it's typically a slow season anyway (most of our customers close the entire week btw Xmas and New Years) We are taking our two days for Xmas as Friday 12/24 and Monday 12/27 and then Friday 12/31 as the NY holiday. T…

We have this problem in VA at our manufacturing facility. I will interview an individual, and most times offer them the job on the spot - not exactly high requirements here... At that point I ask for a copy of their social security card for payroll…

I have been required by my employer to take a conversational spanish class because 35% of our workforce speaks Spanish only (we have 3 bilingual employees, all Mexicans who speak fluent english now) I am a strong proponent of English only in the wo…

When did you start peeking in my office window? x:-8 I thought I'd closed the blinds. On a more serious note - We wrote our policy to include all employees, office and production, so that there would be no questions. Tammy

Because oxford laceups would clash with the leopard micro mini... duh! 8-| We require closed shoes for all employees. You wanna wear something else at your desk fine, but if you leave your cubicle, the shoe best not "slap". I am required to wear s…

Your guy can get his ID card in 1 day with proof of legal presence and proof of residency. But the new qualifications for legal presence are just about like docs for I-9. Unless you REALLY want this employee, give him 3 days and let it go. He wo…

We're lucky to have the DMV offices these days - they shut a bunch down in our area last year and then reopened some of them when they realized there was no DMV office in 5 or 6 counties at all. (including ours) The answers may be on the website a…

Thanks for the advice, ya'll. We can institute a ban, but I'm going to see what I can do in the enforcement arena, since ya'll are right - that really IS the problem. Tammy

We have a designated area behind the plant. The smoking policy has been violated because of weather (wasn't above 32 for several weeks and some of the ee's thought it unfair to have to go outside in the cold) - probably should ask if they want chees…
-
That's what I thought as well. We print the reports for supervisor review, but the ee's don't really have anything to do with the process after they punch. Thanks for the feedback. Tammy

I was "thrust" into this roll as well, but was able to get some guidence from one of our sister plants. I have an excellent "guidebook" that was sent to me by another HRM covering "How to run a Safety Committee Meeting" Email me privately with conta…

Actually, it's a particular statement that may or may not have been made in the records, and this is the guy's regular doctor in addition to being our workman's comp doctor (just worked out that way I guess) I think HIPAA applies because it can be c…

So the attempt to access the records will not jeopardize us? As long as that won't happen, I'll look stupid on his behalf, I guess. Tammy

We used to have prospectives reimburse for preemployment costs, but VA now has a law prohibiting the practice if the cost is a condition of employment (Drug screen/physical etc.) New employees reimburse for boots if they don't stay 90 days - but oth…

I remember the one thing my father taught me about business. At the end of a 9 hour day I say to myself: "Anything else, short of murder, will wait until tomorrow." Then I go home to my daughter and think about home instead of the office - because …

Could I get a copy of the release from someone? Sounds like it's exactly what we need. Thanks. Tammy Colson

When I said "characteristically gay" - I was refering to the over-the-top behavior, some of which this gentleman seems to be exhibiting (the stuff that, years ago, we referred to as "flaming") I have several friends who think it hilarious to project…

The only possible BFOQ I could see would be HR for a church office or a religious school or school system (like a catholic diocese). That might pass in court... MAYBE.... xflash Tammy
