  • While not necessarily convenient would having this person work every Saturday work for your facility?
  • In regards to his previous terminations for the behavioral problems did you ask him why he left his previous positions?  Do you have an application that asks those questions?  I would guess that if asked or if he did complete it he would have lied a…
  • We currently use a system called CATS Applicant Tracking System.  It allows for a lot of information to be input both on applicants and job openings.  The biggest downfall is that if the manager's do not buy into it and use it properly it isn't so s…
  • I agree with HRforME while you might not have sent anything to teh UI office your payroll department would have had to setup an account to remit state taxes and they will most likely use that contact information.
  • I agree that Craigslist is a great way to get entry level people and the fact that it is free to post open positions doesn't hurt either.
  • Is the marital status coming from the W-4 form?  If so it is to correctly calculate the amount of federal tax withholding.
  • Unless your company has a collective bargaing agreement in place that states that employees don't have to pay for their health insurance I am not aware of any laws requiring notice to be given to employees when changing company policy. Clearly the e…
  • Essentially what this would boil down to would be your company giving your employees a raise in the amount of the wife's insurance as you wouldn't be able to actually pay her insurance at her company.  I can't see any problem with it, outside of it …
  • I would do some research regarding HRA plans offered by different carriers. We changed from an HSA to an HRA product begining in 2009 and we had tremendous support with the HRA product. The HRA plan that we are on doesn't have any administrative o…
  • I understand from talking with other HR professionals that if they forget to include someone in their enrollment, or if they were unaware of a new employee that they too have fudged the start date.  I don't think that it is an uncommon practice.  Ho…
  • As mentioned you already have a high deductible plan, but I would look at moving to an H.R.A.  We moved from an H.S.A to an H.R.A this past year and we have had a very positive reaction.  Although we are a small company (150 employees) we had a larg…
  • I agree with TX.  If you placed someone on involuntary "administrative" unpaid leave, they are still an employee of your company until you reach a decision to terminate them at which point they are no longer employed.  It sounds like you either nee…
  • I agree with TX that the first look should be looking at the training given to these employees.  Are they truly being given everything they need to succeed?  Are they being put on the job without enough training? I would also question someone's desi…
  • The main difference lstire3 is that I-9's and benefit packages are all done post-hire.  This information is not gathers before you make a hiring decision.  With her making the statement it is illegal it really raises red flags that if we don't hire …
  • TXHRGuy, point well taken.  I was assuming that since the original post said that a few people were out, no one would be able to ascertain who it was that had the H1N1 and who was just out. Clearly it would be better to say that the office has been …

  • I don't see the problem for a company to make a blanket statement to its employees that there has been a confirmed case(s) of the H1N1 virus in the office.  You are not singling any employee out and/or violating that person's right to privacy.  As m…

  • pfranklin, I am just curious, what reason did your company give the employees?
  • You can require that the employee provide you with proof that they were at the required training upon their return to work (assuming they do). 
  • It is our company policy to do exit interviews only with employees who have given their notice to resign/retire.  We do it in person on their last day if they work in the office or we send them via snail mail to their home address and provide a post…
  • Clearly the most important thing is determining if there is something more than an idle threat being made but my second thought was that it sounds like there needs to be a review of your workplace.  Are there things that are really that bad?  Can/sh…
  • Yes, they have these on a few of the radio stations out here in Las Vegas.  I also believe that they are all Clear Channel stations.  I have only heard one resume but it was nothing that stood out in my mind.  More of just an "I'm a hard working, de…
