It sounds like many of us have been in a position like this over the years, just maybe not in the same industry. I would start with the basics. 1. I-9's = Does the company have them? Are they completed correctly? Complete them or redo them depen…

You can purchase a recruiting package through Linked In that will allow you to post jobs and search for people in the entire Linked In network and not just those in your network. It is expensive and it is time consuming. I have not had much succes…

Have you looked to see if there is any financial industry specific sites? I am in the IT industry and there are sites specifically for IT like Dice.com that I use.

Depends on what areas you want to go green in. Do you want to go green with just about all you do or start with a few areas and see how things go? If you are having trouble getting enthusiasm then I think starting with a few small things and build…

My simple answer is no, but I think there is more to this than a simple yes or no. What is the reasoning behind the decision to put employee names on the company website? Are you just putting the person's name or are you putting more info (and pos…

What type of training are you talking about here - safety, sexual harassment, etc? If you are health care facility then you definitely have a long list of safety training that needs to be done. All companies should have some sort of sexual harassme…

Cappy - most of the public safety agencies I know about have grooming standards that include the required uniform (provided by the department), and include such things as the color of the undershirt, socks and type of shoes required. Most then go o…

First you need to look at what has been done in the past to make sure you are being consistent. If this has never come up then you want to make sure that whatever you do now, is what you want to do in the future, as you will be setting a precident.…

If you are going to continue in the HR field for years to come, then the MA in HR is the better way to go. If you ultimately see yourself going into other areas outside of HR for executive level management, then your MBA is probably the better rout…

I absolutely agree that just because someone "looks" like their weight is in the acceptable range doesn't always mean they have a healthy lifestyle and could perform physically demanding positions. I will play devils advocate and say that weight can…

Different states have different laws on whether or not you can deduct things like this from an employee's pay. Since this course is a requirement of the job and you are talking about a plant, I am assuming a requirement for OSHA regs, I would say t…

There are a lot of things you need to look at here. Are you losing employees to other competitors/employers because of pay? How does your compensation compare to your competitors at the moment? What about other things like benefits, vacation/sic…
-
Have you followed up after each meeting to say thank you for taking the time to meet with me to each person involved? You want to show your level of interest just as much as the employer does. I like it when a candidate follows up with an email o…

I agree with others. I have been repeatedly told that having someone as an EE and an IC is a huge red flag with the IRS. I would get your accountant, tax attorney, etc. involved in this to make sure you are not opening yourself up to an audit. I ca…

I am assuming since it is the hottest topic right now that you will have some information regarding benefits and potential impact new Health Care Bill will have on your organization in the near future?

We do not currently pay for this, although we do have a couple people that have been given air cards for their laptops, so that they can use them when they are with customers, at conferences and other meetings on the road. I actually work from hom…

I know many people that have come to this country and gone about things the legal way to get citizenship. I do think that everyone should go do this if they want the same rights as other citzens. I know many have been very frustrated with the long…

Barbie said it, bad idea. Because so many people are looking for work, when they don't get hired, they are looking for reasons why they may not have been hired to potentially file a suit against a company. Do a google search for Discrimination cla…

There is another way to handle this. I agree that if this is occurring then you also need to look at the supervisor to figure out why he/she is allowing this. I would show up unannounced for the shift (possibly multiple different shifts) and see w…

Another thing you have to consider is state law regarding carrying a concealed weapon. There are some states that are very lenient on this and other states that are very strict. So this all may be a mute point if your employees can not get the conc…

This topic has been debated a few times here on this forum. There are those that want to save the money and think it is ok if people share rooms. Others think there are liability issues with doing this. One of the things my company has been doing …

The first thing that comes to mind is this. Before you go the route of saying "Mandatory Overtime", have you thought about asking people to sign up for overtime? In this economy, where more and more companies are reducing hours and even employees,…

I was wondering if anyone else was watching as well. The show is very interesting. I do wonder how they pick the people/locations they go work with and what the presence of the cameras changes, but I think so far, all of the CEOs have really learn…

If it is medical records related to WC documents then you should be keeping these for 30 years.

I have always been told by attorneys that you should have a seperate form for background checks that the person physically signs, rather than having it as part of the electronic signature with an application or even part of the a paper application.
-
I also agree that this is not a good idea. If you do this, is someone going to monitor these accounts to see when the people are sending emails, logging into the network, etc. and pay them for all the time they spent doing this? The ownership is o…

If someone had a previously scheduled and approved vacation days for the day before and the day after the holiday.

Are you asking for what other companies are doing? My employees (both exempt and non-exempt) get 2 weeks vacation until hit 5 years, 3 weeks from 5-10years and then 4 weeks after 10 years. They get 5 days sick leave, no matter how many years of ser…

TXHRGuy is absolutely right. The biggest thing to worry about, especially if the person was just wrongly classified, is the person coming back to say they should be entitled to overtime pay for all the hours over 40 that they have worked in the past…
