  • Cell phones are the bane of my existence.  Killing productivity is only a small piece of why they are killing me - Facebook updates, texting, etc.  We gave up on the shoes - though our female count is relatively low.  I can vouch for any man out the…
  • My vote is always experience.  Though I do have my BBA-HR from an accredited university, it surely did not put me back financially as much as Vandy would.  However, if your current position is in the HR field and you possess limited experience, noth…

  • I can definitely see your discomfort but at the same time, you are there to perform a function.  And that function, as TXHR stated, is often a lonely one.  I perform in the same capacity and it took me the better part of a year to establish myself w…
  • Assuming all your FMLA procedures to be sound and consistently applied along with the employee exhausting his 12 weeks, you are no longer obligated to hold his position or one of like nature.  I would advise that you send the proper notification to …
  • This is B2B.  We contracted this individual, who has his own business entity of one person, to perform the task.  And yes, I posed the same question to them as to why they did not contact the police immediately.  I did not receive a concise answer a…
  • I guess my first question would be if Snoopy is in a position of great need?  The reasoning behind this is the notice period.  If she is causing significant disruption within the workforce have you brought the idea of accepting her notice and ending…
  • This is not a site like the ones mentioned per se, but I have had the pleasure of meeting some highly intelligent, expereinced HR folks there - LinkedIn HR group.  Through discussions, posts, etc. I have learned some new items as well as met some fu…
  • Entertaining post.  I cherish those employees in a way - without them HR may not be as needed. Hopefully she will not be able to collect and reap the benefits of her stupidity.
  • Cheri-  I have to ask - what is scrap???  Perhaps I am dense today but I am missing this one. As far as the process is concerned, I have had trouble in the past as well with suspension.  What I did do in the past to remedy (mostly successful, someti…
  • Personally, I would need more details given the situation in order to answer accurately.  Any policies governing this job share system?  She is turning down the FT position to keep her PT position?  Sounds like you have a bigger issue on your hands …
  • HRBaby-  My company currently performs this function annually.  We simply correlate this check with our annual merit program.  Prior to the issuance of merit increases and performance appraisals, we conduct a check on all employees.  Granted, the ch…
  • The advice given is spot on without a doubt; however, I must say having dealt with a CEO/Pres of similar nature - sometimes the leader is the last person that should be leading.  Sad that you have to deal with such idiocy at the top HRBaby.
  • I had a similar issue this year with my new company and the broker becoming less engaged and essentially not providing the support we needed.  However, I have not heard of one broker representing one carrier and another, another carrier.  From my un…
  • I used to work for a major hotel chain with over 2000 employees at our location.  We suspected a few folks of stealing from guests so we initiated a search of their lockers for this reason.  I would highly suggest that you have the employee present.…
  • Cappy- I would love to jump on this offer if it is still extended for the strat plan.  My email is pcrumley at comsoltx dot com.  Thank you so much for your help and I wish your family good health.
  •   Luckily this show is for chairty otherwise I would deem it even trashier.  I thought Annie was the better choice as far as professionalism is concerned but - eh - I am not a rating specialist so I can see why he chose that route.  I would absolute…
  • I completely agree with TXHR - he not only lied to the company, but he also jeopardized the future of the company with that client.  No brainer in my opinion.  TXHR is right as well, if he goes unpunished (and in my definition, not calling him is no…
  • Suspension is surely an option within our firm however, much like you noted, it is only used in the most extreme of circumstances in which reasonable doubt may exist.  For example, a sex harassment claim made by an associate - for ample time to inve…
  • Our firm is of similar size (74 ee) and I can't imagine the burden of being without the broker.  The broker has benefited me in several aspects, perhaps the most important is the resolution of incorrect billing to my employees from the HCP, etc.  Re…
  • In the past, I have used an online HRIS called NetChex.  They were pretty good when it came to time reporting, etc.  Each individual had a logon that allowed them to clock in and out.  Managers, HR, etc. could check these times throughout the day to…
  • Thanks IT.  This helps in that it affirms that most of my recruitment strategies are in line with what others are doing.  You are 100% correct in that the highly specialized individuals just do not seem to be on the market at this time.  We do maint…
  • babaHR-  Personally, I would pick and choose your battles.  This, in my opinion, though inappropriate visually, was done into a waste basket and not on a counter, floor, etc.  Without any specific policy prohibiting such action, you would basically …
  • In most cases yes--GIVEN that your handbook, policy guideline, etc. outlines that the company reserves the right to deduct for half day vacations on all employees.  Exempt employees have, especially where I have worked, abused the privilege of comin…
  • I agree with ntk--it all depends on your work environment.  Look at the bright side, if folks start complaining about other departments raiding the candy/goodies/snacks and essentially acting like children not wanting to share, you can save time on …
  • Absolutely.  Just make sure it is applied consistently throughout especially when it comes to governed leaves such as FMLA.
  • Why not test your theory.  If you believe her to fall apart under pressure you must have specific examples that make you think as such.  If you have these examples of assignments in which you deemed her to have "fallen apart", have her Supervisor re…
  • I believe it to be 70%.  It should be noted in the information you received with the PHR kit.
  • Funny solution with the mirror, thanks.  Good news to all, after some sleuthing and some strong-arm tactics to get some information the culprit was found and dealt with swiftly.  We are now a proud, booger-free workplace!
  • Ironic that you say that Barbie as I have attempted the sign approach only to find these fantastic little nose candies placed on the sign itself.  This is one individual, if I catch him, I will thoroughly enjoy terminating.  Thank you for your suppo…
  • HRforME is spot on--I am currently processing our layoffs, which aren't many, but still needed, in the great state of TX.  There is not much that you can do other than try to present yourself in the most positive of lights, perform to your best, and…
