  • Check your state wage and hour division website.
  • I did some research becuase I had similar questions and found this website. [url]http://www.hris.org/bryson_demo/newee/PersonnelFiles.htm[/url]
  • Why not I-9's?
  • I was on vacation last week so I am doing a little bit of catch up right now... Thanks to all who have responded. I called to get my password for the HR hero subcribers only section (thanks for the tip) only to find out that my boss has not renewe…
  • We do subscibe to the Ohio Employment Law Letter, would that mean I am eligible to gain free access to all the resources you all have described on HRhero? Since we are a non-profit org. the less money spent by HR the better, so anything we already…
  • Whenever I am having a bad day I tune in to Maury Povich on the radio during my ride home from work. The "who's my baby's daddy" episodes and the girls who yell "you don't know me!!!" at the audience sets me straight and gives me a great laugh by t…
  • "All of these people had excellent resumes, did beautifully in interviews, passed any competency tests, and had great responses from their references." You know the saying... "If it looks too good to be true... " When I go through resumes I l…
  • Funny you say that Don. Just an FYI for ya... I graduate college 2 years ago from a small private school in Ohio and one of the running jokes among my classmates is the dormatories strick rules on males in the halls unescorted (and restricted duri…
  • Rockie, We have an option of a 4 day work week in our medical billing department. Only a few (3 or 4) employees have taken this option (out of 47). They either work Tues- Fri or Mon - Thurs. (10 hr days). No adjustment in pay. It seems to work …
  • Leslie, Maybe I am reading your post wrong, but in no way did I intend to offend anyone with my opinion on the term "probationary". It's definately not going to infect your employees with any diseases, just something to think about. I guess I nee…
  • >In the employment context, probation is not necessarily 'a thing of >the past'. It may, however, be a consideration among politically >correct thinkers, of which I am not one. Probation, in terms of an >initial employment period, acc…
  • Just a little off subject, but I thought the term "probationary" period was a thing of the past becuase of the negative connotation with the word "probation". (Avoiding jail time comes to mind) We use "initial employment period" and I noticed some…
  • I agree with neveradull. Investigate a little further before you begin the discipline process. Some crude emails can be hidden behind what seems to be harmless email, I like to think the best of employees and give them the benefit of the doubt (a…
  • Do you have a written policy on employee access to his/her personnel file? Ours states that an employee may not make copies of any part of their file, but they may read through it with the presence of their manager and may take notes if they wish. …
  • Did you know you had so many "friends" on the forum? You will definately be missed while you are orienting yourself to your new job. Hurry back now! Regards, April
  • We try to motivate the company as a whole with potlucks, dress down days, and lunchins. Employees seem to respond well to this.
  • I will attempt to reply to your questions. I too am new to HR, but I think that it is best to stay back from this situation unless the supervisor wishes to submit something in writing to you about the incident. Are you worried about legal issues? M…
  • That type of medical information should be on a need to know basis only. I doubt your entire management staff "needs to know" the medical condition of your employees. I believe what you have described is a violation of the new HIPAA regulations. …
  • I was watching the movie "A Few Good Men" last night and at the end of the movie when the 2 marines have found out they are being discharged, A man tells Tom Cruises' character that the marines needed to be taken to "personnel" to complete some pape…
  • What are "freedom fries"? I haven't heard this one before.
  • I like the term, I think it sounds cool xB-) ! Okay, who's going to steal my lunch money and beat me up after work now? Your Office Dork, April
