I have been using Performance Now put out by KnowledgePoint for about 7 years. It is very easy to use and is liked by both management and personel. It was a steal 7 years ago for $150.00 but I'm not sure what the software would cost now. You ra…

As a government agency, we are mandated by law as to when we can legally close. If Xmas, NY, or the 4th of July fall on a Saturday, the preceding Friday is a Holiday. If one of those holidays falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is a Holiday. …

I suspect Frank is right.....AGAIN.... The employee(s) probably missed the open enrollment period established by the company and now they are stuck.....HR personel have too many hats to wear to hold anyone's hand.....although many times we do! W…

If the PTO is "earned" then I believe you should pay it to both exempt and non-exempt. ,,,,, OR, let them carry it over to the following year. That way, during a slow period you could direct them to take the time off. Just make sure you have a cle…

We do have a policy about not bringing children to the office, but none for pets. It should go without saying that a place of business is not the place to bring your pet unless it is a service animal. Employees and customers have certain expectatio…

The 26th of Feb. was the last forum I rec'd thru e-mail as well. I'm sure the IT guys/gals are working on it and will fix it soon.

Please send me your 90 day evaluation form. My e-mail address is [email]mahebert@lpclerk.com[/email]

Make a notation in the personnel file that their application was discovered missing on such-an-such a date and initial. That's all I would do.

With all of the sexual harassment hoopla we were hearing, I decided it was time to give all employees mandatory training on the topic of harassment. I did not know where to turn but figured maybe our local law enforcement agency might be able to gi…

We do not "purge anything" from personnel files. Ever. We keep attendance forms and leave requests in a separate attendance file in a separate file cabinet. These are kept for a 3 year rolling back period.

We use a software from Knowledgepoint called Performance Now. It is very inexpensive. We purchased ours in 2000 at $150.00. It was, and continues to be, worth every penny. It is easy to use, quick, flexible, and thorough. You can choose from d…

Our supervisors were having the same problems, not documenting anything. When a serious problem came up and a write-up was in order, they soon found out that relying on memory alone was not adequate. Memory is often vague and they now realize the …

All employees receive a form entitled "Acknowledgement of Receipt and Understanding." They sign and date this form after reading policy and review of policy. The form is then placed into the personnel file.

I've always found employee evaluations difficult until I discovered an employee review writer called Performance Now by a company called Knowledgepoint. (They also have computer software to create job descriptions and employee handbooks.) The Perf…

Public sector employer here, and we offer employee payment of comp time, or the use of the comp time as time off. We do not limit the time in which they may use it.

Non-exempt employees clock in and out on their computer when they come in, leave for lunch, return from lunch, and leave for the day. Leave is submitted via this same system to supervisor, who can approve or deny. E-mail notification is received b…

We do not dock an Exempt Employee's PTO bank if they work a partial day, so this makes up for overtime that they work. They don't take undue advantage of this free time off, but if they did, we would have a talk. How would I know if they are takin…

We do not deduct vacation or PTO if we have to close due to bad weather.

Linda is right on the mark. Any time worked over 40 hours in your predefined workweek is compensable at time and a half. Even though the time worked was unauthorized. Discipline that person, but do not withhold payment for any overtime. If they …

Is it mandatory that she accompany the residents as a chaperon? If so, the time is compensable. If not, and she does it just because she wants to, then that's another situation. I would bet she would not be as inclined to do so if she doesn't get…

Dynamite! That is a great suggestion.

As a public employer we give comp time in lieu of payment. An employee working over 40 hours in our defined workweek is given time and a half time off.
-
The description of duties/responsibilities seem to be non-exempt.

If they forget to punch in/out, but you know they worked, you must pay them. I would suggest you have a written policy on disciplinary measures that will be taken if someone "forgets to punch in/out." Sometimes this is a convenient ploy used by em…
