  • I appreciate it when others provide the updated rest of the story, but for this one, it was quite anti-clamatic. The EEOC has not called me back yet. Because I hate to lose potentially good employees by waiting too long to make them an offer, I to…
  • From a customer who spoke to someone "in the know" on the ITAR stuff - In order to hire a non-U.S. citizen we would have to obtain "export authorization" for him. This would have to be obtained prior to him working, and it is usually something gr…
  • I appear to be in the minority on this - we use a 12 minute test called the Wonderlic (not a personality or profile test, more of a logic test). The scores are only one tool we use to evaluate interviewees, we still consider the interview to be muc…
  • Anne, you're having a rough day! x;-) The link you provided is for the old increase. The link for this new increase is below. It doesn't seem to allow the whole link to be clickable, so please copy it all the way through .html and paste it into…
  • We pay an employee for the initial doc visit for an injury/illness and subsequent visits are on their own time. I would imagine state law has something to say about it, though. Do you mean to ask if that half hour counts towards FMLA intermittent …
  • Do you want the number for MY disability agent? :>) Seriously, I'd call the lender and ask them how to fill out the form.
  • There should be a phone number on there somewhere for questions on the verification form - I'd call and ask which way to fill it out. Although as I typed that, I wondered about HIPAA - I might start with my disability carrier first and see what the…
  • Since this is still here, I think my post will move when it moves. It depends on what you want to accomplish with your newsletter. We use ours to talk about projects we're working on to help people have a big picture view of work. I like to use i…
  • I'm afraid I cannot quote you chapter and verse to tell you where this comes from, but at my last job for a multi-state assisted living/long term care "chain" of facilities, we were required to take a copy of the social security card for payroll pur…
  • We're looking at going to M-R but have a question of when to run the overtime day. Friday is a killer on that one, plus our supervisor has a 2nd job on Friday and Saturday nights, and based on our circumstances, we do NOT want to run him off. And …
  • Before I even read any of the replies, I thought this lady needs to go to the police. I also would explain that you are required to investigate and go from there. Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.
  • Since I'm Access illiterate, I use Microsoft Excel. The Census website has the availability data and I found it rather easy to work with (as easy as the Census site gets, anyway). [url]http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/eeoindex/eeoindex.html[/url] T…
  • So why DID you leave, JM?
  • Do you anticipate some resistance, Tracey? My husband is a private pilot, and he doesn't go more than a few days without checking his e-mail. He bought a share of a plane in a town 25 miles away, and he frequently laments that they are not willing…
  • If our hourly employees leave during their morning or afternoon 15 minute paid break, I tell them to punch out and it is then not paid.
  • You're 100% right, HRLASS! But by wait and see, I mean that he is supposed to get results next Tuesday of the tests he's having done today. We do believe he is part of the problem, and not really capable of being part of the solution. If on Tuesd…
  • I don't believe there was any malice. I believe it was a poor choice of words, perhaps, on the supervisor's part. Or she mis-heard him. In either respect, her mind started working and she kind of shut down to the rest of the conversation. Then, …
  • HOLD THE PHONE - I'm sure you all thought we had already done one small step that we didn't do. We didn't corroborate the story with any other employees in the meeting. I called the shift supervisor and asked what was said at that meeting (no deta…
  • I hope you're right, and we've talked about that a little - ding dong, the witch is dead, that sort of thing.
  • Thanks, marc. We have explained the plant close/jailed EEs, but the us-against-them is so awful I don't know if they care, or maybe they think it's a scare tactic. Honestly, because of the us-against-them, I wouldn't be all that sorry to see many …
  • That's a pretty fluffy thing to chart. You could chart something like how many/what percent have attended training or something. If you can, go back to the person making the request and find out what they really want to know. They may just be des…
  • WE WON! There were a few facts that we didn't get presented clearly enough, and some points that we weren't sure we made that were clear. The bottom line was that the burden of proof was on her, and they were not convinced that we asked her to "vi…
  • Update: The hearing was yesterday afternoon - it went an HOUR AND A HALF. Her take was that we forced her to make a moral and ethical decision last November when we told her to re-test a resin that had went out of shelf-life (expired). She then wa…
  • I got the letter today already (wow - who knew the gov't could be so quick?!?). It reads: I believe the decision was based on incomplete information obtained during a very brief phone interview. The questions were focused on the day I gave my res…
  • I'll see your dollar and raise you a homemade peanut butter twist. (As soon as I perfect that recipe, I'll post it. It's really good.) I'm trying to over-prepare because she's smart enough to play dirty. I'm hoping you're right, though. As far …
  • I finally decided not to wait for the second round of paperwork (giving the hearing date, etc.) to see what I would get along the lines of information, so I called the Appeal Tribunal (boy does THAT sound Survivor-ish). The nice lady on the phone s…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-05-05 AT 02:05PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Actually, she isn't alleging anything yet in so many words. I just can't imagine how she can contest the unemployment otherwise. Please excuse the poor choice of…
  • >John Smith was out - standing in the field Is that left field or right field? I think the saying usually goes "out in left field" but from personal experience, I believe in your standard softball leagues, right field sees far less action and i…
  • Pork, it does say the following on the web site that E Wart posted (scroll down to nearly the bottom): Special Instructions: Please note the following changes to the Form I-9 process: Form I-766 (Employment Authorization Document), although not …
  • Pork, we're confused because the 1997 updates are not included on this form. It's easy enough to print and use, but we'll have to make the same cross-outs and additions on page 3 as we did on the old form.
