I earned my SPHR in June, 2006, and had a very similar experience as Paul. I also joined a study group created by my local SHRM chapter that met weekly for a few months. We did not have a professional facilitator, however did have different subjec…

We have several retail outlets, and we do not allow anyone that is selling or has extensive customer face to face contact to wear capri pants. However, employees in our call centers or in business offices that do not have a lot of contact with th…

Shirley, If possible, I would appreciate it if you would also send a copy of your attendance policy to me at [email]lisa.wolf@iwireless.com[/email]. We have been discussing updating our policy, too! Thanks so much!

One of my goals for next year is to review our performance review process. I would really appreciate a copy of your forms! Thanks! My e-mail address is [email]lisa.wolf@iwireless.com[/email].

Meagan, We actually held off on implementing it, and am planning for it this year. From all of the feedback from everyone, I believe things should go positively (hopefully!). If you have any transition feedback as time passes, feel free to share…

Thanks so much for all of your feedback! In my search for information, I came across this website ([url]www.paperlesspay.org[/url]). It gives regs by each state, contains FAQ, articles, etc. Just thought I'd pass it along for those that are also …

Pattie, Were you able to fax the checklist to me? I never received it. I apologize, I did not spell your name correctly in the first e-mail that I sent. Or, if anyone else received a copy, I would be very grateful if they could fax me a copy at…

Patty, I have been struggling with a job we have here; it is truly right on the border for the Adminstrative Exemption. Can you please fax your checkslist to 515-258-7400? It is a private fax, so you don't have to include a cover letter if you d…

I am the HR Manager of a company of approximately 200 employees. I also have an HR Assistant reporting to me that processes payroll on a bi-weekly basis. Both of us have full access to salaries of the entire company. Both of us are fully aware th…

Thanks!

Do you pay the full cost for employee insurance benefits. If not, if the employee had signed up for the coverage, she should have noticed that premiums were not coming out of her paycheck and followed up. That being said, our benefit forms requi…

Thanks so much!

That is wonderful, Shirley! Thanks so much for a copy of your policy, as well as your insight into your company! I appreciate it! Have a great day!

Shirley, That is awesome that 80% of your employees have been with your company 5+ years! What is your secret? I find your PTO policy very interesting! We have employees with some very large balances, so I would love to learn more about your …

Our PTO is for both vacation and sick time. It is not used for holidays or for funeral leave. 0-3 Yrs, 18 days annually, max balance 30 days 4-7 Yrs, 21 days annually; max balance 30 days 8-11 Yrs,24 days annually; max balance 45 days 12+ Yrs, 3…

Thank you all for your wonderful feedback! I just thought I'd follow up. We did inform the employee that their FMLA and company paid leave had expired, and that we would be filling their position. We then placed the employee on an extended leav…
-
Wow! Thanks for the clarification! I had not heard of that before, and was not aware of that! FMLA is one of those those areas that no matter how many situations you work through, I always seem to learn something new. Thanks for replying!
-
My first question is did this part time employee work 1,250 hours during the past 12 months, and has she been employed for at least one year. Just thought I'd make sure that she actually qualifies for FMLA. If I am understanding you correctly, b…

Prairie, I feel for you; I think we all have those situations where we point things out that would help things improve only to be completely ignored until a situation finally occurs. Every once in a while you get to say "I told you so!" Keep the…
-
If I had your situation, I would allow both of the parents up to 12 weeks off for the birth of a child. Under FMLA, employees can take up to 12 weeks off for the birth of a child. Provided that both of the employees have worked for your company f…

Thanks for the information!

We initially provide the employee with 15 days to return the medical certification the same as David mentioned; if we have not received anything, we make sure that we contact the employee at the end of 15 days and touch base with them. If there is …

I completely agree that by you handling the supervisory situation, it completely undermines her authority as a supervisor. I agree with you being there to coach her and support her to help her prepare for the conversation, and if she still needs as…

It always seems that things are brought to light when an employee is on vacation. You mentioned that you have a history of warnings, and a history of improved performance after receiving the warning, but then after time, the poor performance return…

How timely! I am thinking about changing our form. Do you mind sending me a copy at [email]lisa.wolf@iwireless.com[/email]? THANKS!

Effective 1/1/08, we are going to be utilizing a new performance review form that will require all managers to work with their employees to create specific goals for each employee. Then quarterly, we are requiring that managers sit down with each o…

When I first arrived at my company, they were conducting background checks prior to extending any offers. However, after consulting with an attorney, we have moved to conducting post offer, pre-employment background checks. As part of the check, w…

Excellent point, HRQ! Njjel, it could be that there are other things your VPs want you to focus on, but you may be unable to do so because your assistant isn't able to take some of the things that are on your plate because she does not have the t…

Did you ask him why he did this, and why he didn't at least discuss it with you first.
-
My first question is do you report to either of the two top managers? If so, I would first go to the one that you report to and simply explain in a very professional way that Mary Jane came to you and said that he or she (depending upon whether y…
