  • Thanks, Pork, I had forgotten to start using the new form. It can also be found here: [url]http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/files/i-9.pdf[/url] I also ended up needing a new version of Adobe Acrobat to read it, which can be downloaded from…
  • The report of which Pinnochio I mean James speaks should be able to be found here: [url]http://www.hrhero.com/lc/survey/results.cgi?raises2005[/url] If that doesn't work, go to the subscribers area. On the right hand side, under Your Resources, cl…
  • Hey! If you treat it like a car, then my mileage reimbursement information isn't so useless! :>)
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-03-06 AT 07:56PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I'm not sure if the CEO purchased it personally or if the company purchased it. If it was personal, you can reimburse at $1.07 per mile, much like mileage for a ca…
  • Pork is right - in the blue bar on the left of this page, there is a bolded heading of HR Advice. Under that, it says "Find an Attorney." It says - The member law firm in North Carolina is: Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC 3500 One Wac…
  • Pork has a LOT more experience with this than I do. That said, I do have a written agreement with my current temp agency, and we have had written agreements in the past with others we've used. I have some materials from a Nebraska law firm that re…
  • Ana, For my manufacturing openings, I advertise in the local newspaper and then post it (for free!) with Nebraska Workforce Development (state DOL) and I also contact (also free!) the placement departments or career services for local colleges and …
  • Welcome to the forum, tmorr! I have heard of an ITIN - an Individual Tax Identification Number - that can be used in place of a SSN. I don't know much about them, though. Regardless, I'm guessing the word TAX means just that - the IRS uses it to…
  • If you're balking because you don't want to shell out the big bucks for the fancy all-in-one posters, contact your state Department of Labor. They may have printed versions for free at their offices or even available for download on their web site.…
  • Oh, James is right. I am sure there are some activist groups that have done that, although I'm not sure to what degree, and I'd think they would target a company that they think is discriminating against people. I'm sure that's not the case with y…
  • I have received letters with waaayyy too much info, too. I attribute it in part to times have changed - people used to be instructed to indicate their marital status and health status on resumes! If you got out of the workforce at that time and wa…
  • Completely off the top and with no other details involved, two things could possibly throw a wrench in the works: 1) the $10/hour coffee pourer could be making more because they are older and could be in a protected age class, 2) the $6/hour coffe…
  • We also invite them. What I wrestle with (Mushroom, hope you don't mind my asking!) - how do we handle temps? Of course we have them attend our monthly luncheons, but we do "holiday gifts" (Christmas presents on my to-do list), and we have a "Holi…
  • Yikes, Abby, what a long time to wait! I can see how that might make one bitter. xx( I was just going to voice agreement with the others on here - hold the supervisor accountable via their raise, and have retro-pay for when the employee has to wa…
  • Caroliso, Thankfully reviews aren't too much of a problem at my current job. However, at my last job, I had one supervisor who was literally several months' behind when I came on board. (We conducted reviews based on date of hire, so new ones wen…
  • Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (I didn't know either, when I started. DOL's website has an A-Z browse function and that's where I found it. They oversee the AAPs)
  • First, take a deep breath - it's not quite as scary as it seems, I promise! You can pay to have a consultant do it, but I found it wasn't that difficult to do myself. You may try doing a search on this topic, there has been some discussion before …
  • Gene makes a fair point (good grief, Gene, when do you sleep???) - this guy really doesn't want to help you. From that angle, I would consider documenting some things regarding lack of teamwork and insubordination (which seems to be a stretch but i…
  • Oh, wow, that would be frustrating!!! My situation was not nearly so bad - had a very key employee that planned to retire but would say "next May" (in a year), then in May it was "towards the end of the year" (December), then we finally had his par…
  • I forgot to add that at my last job, when there was lots of travel going on (exempt and non-exempt), the admin that scheduled it always tried to make sure the travel took place between normal hours whenever she could. My flying to AK reference woul…
  • PS - I had a connection hiccup when I tried to post this the first time around - hopefully a duplicate post won't show up tomorrow. Hi, Shirley, and welcome to the forum! I think what you need to be looking for are Federal Travel Regulations. The…
  • Thank you to all the replies! WT - I have lamented my problems to the Magistrate of our court, but have not specifically asked about such a form. I'd like to think he'd have volunteered it if it was available, but I will definitely ask. crawfod -…
  • To give you an idea of the level of technology we are using, our last village treasurer wrote out the bills and did all the accounting by hand! (I am at least using Excel and Microsoft Money and printing them.) I have begun recording bank info on …
  • These are some questions I used when we tried to bring on a controller - Many companies have poor communication top to bottom. What are some of your experiences with corporate communication? Have you ever done anything to improve it? How do you …
  • I can't speak to whether or not they "have to" but what would it hurt? The posters should be available for free from the state department of labor, possibly even available for download on their website as they are here in Nebraska. I would say bet…
  • I don't really know what that means, but it did make my blood run cold regardless. 226? 1499? Where on earth did these numbers come from? (And please, dear God, don't let my number come up!) FIFTEEN additional reviews??? Good grief.
  • My opinion is that unfotunately there is no such thing. Even the best ones still absolutely require a person to look over it. Plus, think about the differences in English between America, England, Ireland, Australia, etc. A word can mean complete…
  • I rely heavily on my state DOL, although it is a combination of having it online and having the local workforce development offices knowing what openings I have. The main newspaper I use for advertising runs it in print and online, so I get the dua…
  • As G3 noted, this has been covered before, and I've said it before and will say it again (because I do like it!). I use the Wonderlic personnel II test B or something along those lines. It's pretty heavy on math and I really feel that we are able …
  • It isn't us - I believe it is Montana as noted above.
