  • This is not just an LA thing. That rudeness is prevalent in the midwest as well. I, like you, always make sure letters are sent to applicants. I don't do them myself however. I have given templates to each hiring manager for them to send. It is a pa…
  • We have a rumors and gossip policy in our employee handbook. Here it is - short and sweet: If you hear a business related rumor, please ask your supervisor if there is any merit to the rumor. It is your supervisor's job to keep you informed. Person…
  • We only have one former employee who qualified for the sibsidy. And wouldn't you know it .... she wants to take us up on it. Neither our insurance provider or employment law attorney can tell exactly what I need to do ongoing. I guess I'll wing it u…
  • Have them send you a signed release first of all. I had a very similar situation several years ago. I simply asked them if they had other applicants for the position. And if so, they may want to interview those applicants. That basically told them w…
  • We have also been with UHC since 2006. And like HRforMe, we have had double digit increases. Last year our premiums went up 27%. We are located in rural Missouri and have no issue with availablity of doctors and hospitals. Aside from the premiums we…
  • We had the exact same experience last week. I chose to send an email to all department heads with instructions to communicate with their groups in person about the one and only RIF. We stressed that no other reductions are planned at this time. I al…
  • Right now in Missouri the state minimum wage is higher than the federal minimum wage. This has impacted us in the starting pay rates we offer. We try to always stay ahead of minimum wage.
  • We do offer paid vacations, paid holidays, bereavement, and jury duty pay to our part-time employees. The maximum vacation allotment is 2 weeks. And the hours paid are based on the employee's normal scheduled hours. If a holiday falls on a day they …
  • This is a common practice in the banking industry. Once an employee is eligible for 3 weeks of vacation, we require 2 of those weeks to be consecutive. We are regulated by OTS. And although this 2 week rule isn't a mandatory OTS regulation, it is ST…
  • Here is a link to a site that lists recommened reading for HR professionals. http://www.hrhero.com/HRreading.shtml?HLe
  • I am not a payroll expert by any means. However, I previously worked for a Fortune 500 company with their own legal department. We were told to NEVER write on an employee's W-4. We couldn't even write on it the date we entered the data into the payr…
  • I hope your boss has plans on how to handle the plummeting employee morale and mass exodus. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes when this is announced.
  • One thing to consider is how you would handle holidays that fall on Monday or Friday. Also consider how you would handle if an employee wanted to change which week they work M-Th or T-F. I think it's a great idea to help ease the effects of the high…
  • Hi Lisa, I can help you with that. What is your email address? I can send you our AAP and what I use for applicant tracking
  • I would be inclined to just let it go. There is nothing to be gained by either embarassing, or showing up your boss. You know it was your idea.
  • I just went through a product demo for Payroll Maxx. Does anyone have any experience or direct knowledge of this company? Everything sounded good. But you know how that goes. I'd appreciate any info you may have.
