Absolutely.... I had no idea that not requiring the ladies to wear pantyhose would be such a HUGE hit. Then of course by bride of 'bout 30 years explained it to me. This was a much bigger event then not requiring the men to wear neck ties. I've hea…

Just saw this on another site: Employers are not required to post the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) notice regarding employee rights to unionize under the NLRB until further notice. Yesterday, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals entered an in…

I have had this very discussion with one of our "few" Black/African American employees not long ago. Her comments were much along the lines of Celeste. She knows she will not make it but hopes her children will live long enough that we are all sim…

cnghr - so far we have had very few issues with "jeans sloppy". I believe this is due to the tenure of our employees in these dept's and they still recall having to wear professional dress every day and therefore are very appreciative of being able…

What Sharon and Coffee said.... I would also add - check with your insurance provider.

Since we are a bank we had to post them several months back. We simply went in to each facility and checked for all required posters. Repalced some old or worn out posters and added the new required poster and never heard a work from anyone about …

We too are a financial institution. Not many years ago we were professional dress year round. A few years back we started to allow Business Casual from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Last September we were all suprised when our dress code was cha…

...can't say... I have never watched the program.

Paul.... my ol' friend - you're just asking for trouble.

I believe the Portal-to-Portal Act may be where you need to be looking: The Portal-to-Portal Act of 1947 was enacted as an amendment to the FLSA and was designed to give employees relief and to clarify the law with respect to travel and other acti…

We also have mandatory direct deposit. This has eliminated such problems.

Same here... the first duty new hires have is to come by and visit the friendly neighborhood HR dept. We get all the new hire paperwork out of the way first thing. We do provide a copy of the list of documents that will be requried for them to com…

kdspa - how did your meeting go? Hope you achieved your desired outcome. Our rule of thumb as always been if there is any doubt if the position is non-exempt or exempt - leave it non-exempt. If there is ever a complaint and the DOL comes in to i…

These "pools" can be a great benefit if the winner gets braggin rights and all the proceeds collected go to a local charity.
-
Can't be 100% sure but I have never heard of IL having a different requirement. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938 is the primary U.S. federal law regulating the wages and hours of both public and private employers. It requires covered empl…

Same here - falls under FMLA. Our ee's can use their sick time and/or vacation time to cover missed days until their STD starts on day 31.

Only had this happen a couple of times here - both young ladies in their early 20's. However, both turned out to be good employees. My young bride, Associate Dean at the local college, refers to them as Velcro parents - they are stuck to their kids…

Still happens some around here but not as much. Was once common to see the pool chart up in the break rooms with names in each square, but not so much lately. Frist time I brought it up, several years back, I was asked if I had noticed that the Ch…

I tried making the elephant stew once, but I had so much fun rolling in the flour that I didn't finish the stew...

Our documents end with something along the line of... "I have read the XXX Policy and I agree to abide by the company's current and future policies. I understand that if I do not abide by the company's policy I may be subject to disciplinary actio…

Sorry, we do not have a PTO program. We have a program for vacation and one for sick leave. Our vacation policy is two weeks after one year, three weeks after 7 years and four weeks after 15 years. Sick leave is earned at one day a month - 12 day…
-
Same here... only orders we did not get were for a young man enrolled in ROTC in college and he was off to basics / Summer Camp and then returned.
-
We too are self insured and have been fortunate to have had two pretty good years. Our reinsurer came in with a 2% increase to maintain the same coverage we now have. In 2011 we made no changes to our plan - even kept all employee costs flat. It…
-
Sonny, this is our way of keeping the Sr. ee from always getting the most sought after vacation times - around holidays - even if their requests is turned in first. Sharon - I understand what you are saying - we seem to have many more of the fly by …
-
We do about the same as Joannie. Our handbook states, "Determination of vacation time will be made by the earliest written request. Vacation time will be approved by each department. Should two or more vacation requests for the same time, such as …
-
Agree with others... Up until last year, we were required by our FSA provider to have all employees compelte a form every year, even if they did not want to particiapte in the program. Now we only need forms completed each year from those that do w…

This causes various red flags to go off... What would happen now if the ee has an accident in their own vehicle and the person they injured finds out they were "on the job" and with the lawyer decide to sue both them and the employer? We required …

Thank goodness I have not had to conduct many of these but I do always include what Paul mentioned and ask them what they feel needs to be done and what is the outcome they expect.

Amen.... Wasn't it Ross Perrot (spelling) back when he was running for President that was pusing for a flat 10% tax for everyone and every business? I seem to recall that with no "loop-holes" the government would have more money than it needed.

We have always paid it at their current rate of pay. But - all have been full-time.
