It took me a bit to recall what 62 Fed Reg 51001-06 is (OK, took me a bit to find it online), here is what it says for those of you who also forgot. There were some documets under List A that are no longer acceptable. They are: numbers 2, 3, 8, an…

Sorry for the late post, but I just had some experience with contractor/garnishments this week. Please note that it comes via my new second "hat" (it's more like a beanie) as Village Treasurer for my 80-person metropolis. I am responsible for bill…

Here's a Yahoo story on blogging - more food for thought. [url]http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/warningyourcleverlittleblogcouldgetyoufired[/url]

Concur with SMace, although as a member of my regional health board, I'm not sure your health dept will know much. Here is a link to a web site with some info about staph infections: [url]http://my.webmd.com/content/article/100/105485.htm[/url] I'…

She wasn't eligible, he was not caring for his father. Good point, though - sorry I omitted.

This is a sore subject for me . . . we don't have combined PTO, but I had a "situation" not too long ago. An employee had really pushed the line - out for several weeks on W/C (which didn't factor into our decision, but I'm mentioning anyway), then…

We don't have actual cutoffs, just a general idea based in part on scores of current employees and ones that didn't work out. Right after I started, I admit I tested a dyslexic who scored a four. Hindsight, I should have offered an accomodation, b…

We use the Wonderlic Personnel Test. The results aren't 100%, but I feel we've learned how to read them. (For example, someone applying for a production job who scores 30/above raises red flags that they will get bored.)

I completely concur. Your boss isn't thinking this through - she would be in a bad spot to have to fill both positions on her own!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-04-05 AT 11:35AM (CST)[/font][br][br]twocher, could you please e-mail it to me? I have been researching this, and I get a lot of "we have them fill out a form", but nothing about what questions the f…

Don, I wish you would have left your post in. Compared to some of your posts, I wouldn't call mine over the top. But if I offended you, I apologize. I've never seen you mince words, so neither did I. You certainly didn't mince words in what you …

Don's post ruined the warm, fuzzy feeling I had from Gene and Pork's finally working through their misunderstanding. That totally sucks. That aside, let's discuss a living wage that would allow our employees to purchace nine dollar chickens and fo…

Yes, I came to the realization of that yesterday . . . I was initially feeling bad because no one else had responded (although it was the weekend). I'm glad at least the discussion got going! To add a note to Gene's comments - fireworks is right! …

[url]https://newhirereporting.com/NE-Newhire/default.asp[/url] For those that care, I pasted in the link to the Nebraska web site. For those that don't: I log on, enter the employee(s) data (SSN, name, DOH, DOB, and address). I hit "finished ent…

I had to double check the USCIS web page to figure out what this is, and come to find out, I've been using it for more than a year. Somehow, there was a lag at my last job where we didn't know about it, and they'd been using it for a while before I…

Wow - we usually do a nice plant for $25-$35, and it is for funerals of relatives (we now know when they're happening more due to a 1-yr-old bereavement leave policy), ee in hospital or family in hospital, I think. Our purchasing agent handles all …
-
PS - your people will probably be split into two groups. One will be PO'ed that you are MAKING them work OT, the other will be PO'ed that they don't get more (they like the bucks). Just shake your head and marvel at the differences in people. On …

I am a little confused on the actual duties of your clinicians. If everyone is doing the same job, why wouldn't everyone be occasionally required to work the OT to cover? To answer your second question, you can revise job descriptions as needed fo…
-
Hahaha - YEAH! I forgot they were switching The Office to Tuesday, so I missed this week's. Was there anything as good as the stapler in jello? Oh, and did anybody notice if the stapler was a Swingline?
-
Good point, Pork, thanks. I'm dealing with citizens.

GREAT info, Dutch! xclap We have one employee that has worked for us every winter for at least 10 if not more years, and he farms the rest of the year. I believe we make him "inactive" in the payroll system, so I just leave his original I-9 in the …

Refer to your policy. x;-) Assuming you have no policy on this and thus stems your question, I wouldn't terminate because there is no clear policy. I might suspend without pay for the day. Give a warning, get a policy in place, and communicate i…

Good luck, MB. If she keeps pushing the issue, refer her to your official grievience policy (if you have one - if not, get to writing!) and refuse to discuss it any further except via that avenue. If she has to do something besides berate you and …

I typically spend a few minutes each day thanking the Lord above that we aren't union, but I can't be sure there isn't an ulterior motive. I'm putting feelers out. Apparently the rumor of the minute is that we're also going to lay off. Can I v…

You're a bit beyond my scope with a "no gambling" policy. However, if there is no $$ involved and it's solely for glory, would that count as gambling? Of course, if everybody wants to put $5 in the pot with proceeds going to the winner, you may be…
-
Don, I still think you're misunderstanding my post, but after more closely reading yours, I think we're along the same lines. I may not be as aggressive as you, however. I suppose that's something that I will form with time and experience. Feel f…

All good points - you, too, Marc. I wasn't about to put an example down, but let's say this: he says he was thrown in the clink for (insert crime here), and I was satisfied that (insert crime here) was simply not applicable to the job and didn't ra…
-
Yup. Guy in original post is "perfect" in other regards. My "shadow" has some work history issues that, when combined with my gut feel which is not based on anything discriminatory, leads me to believe he would not be a good fit for our organizati…

Personally, I would have thanked the IT people for their discretion. Better to be too cautious than to say something your pocketbook could regret. Next time, they will know (and now we know!) that they can ask for a follow up. If he started to ge…

Well, I'm not proud to admit this: we didn't include it in the manual, and I posted a sign that I didn't keep. Stellar way of making policy, I know, but I didn't want to leave you hanging. Sorry. From my previous non-profit life, I think we took…
