[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-11-05 AT 03:42PM (CST)[/font][br][br]lhill - I'm curious to see if you really think that solved the problem or drove it underground. We also banned chewing tobacco, but I'm pretty sure that if I went…

I have some (ahem) personal experience here . . . my first job after college required a pre-employment screen. I got up that morning, DID NOT GO after getting up, drove 1/2 hour to the clinic (in another town), holding it the whole time, and it too…

Oh, geeze, thanks mushroom! My search was for "USERRA poster", which knocked your posting out. Good for you for being so far ahead of the game! xclap

Urinary gymnastics . . . that's one of the funniest things I've heard in a while! I might have to write that down in a secret place to refer back to. xclap

THANKS to everyone for responding. Some good points, and it’s always nice to see I’m not alone! Everyone has been playing by the rules – filling out an absence slip, calling in if they’re sick, etc. (We have not gone to a no-fault attendance poli…

We have 53 in direct production, six in quality, five in the office, five in production support, nine in engineering. I started one year ago December, as about employee #57. We now have 78, so I've hired 21 that have stayed. I've probably hired a…

Is that because the little old ladies always carry a tissue tucked in their sleeve? x:-/ I always wondered about that . . . :>)

I called my state DOL and spent a half day in Omaha at the OFCCP office (for free!). I remember Don kind of snuffled at that, but they were very helpful and told me that once I sit down to write it, I will have questions, and to call or e-mail for …

It's five below outside now - thank goodness laughter warms the soul 'cause the body is thoroughly chilled! I love the way the software file they load to steal the money is called "virus". Really, there are few lines in the whole movie that don't …

HAHAHA I'm usually the one posting to call your friendly local DOL office! Good advice! th-up I got transferred from the regs people to wage and hour and they said NO, there is no such law. I think everyone had some sort of plans to be "out of t…

I did a search last night and came up empty. Wasn't there some sort of funny loophole for health care facilities? Sorry, I can't find it, in part because I don't know what I'm looking for. Anybody else know what I mean?

Both excellent sites - I wanted to underscore that you MUST have them checked because they will translate word for word, verb tenses might be off, etc. It also helps to simplify your document going into it.

Day late and dollar short, and from my humble point of view - What about personal responsibility? If they think it's OK to smoke pot on lunch, they're not the kind of employees I'd want. Further, guilty by association is enough for me on the alle…

Prepare for a landslide, DB, and heaven help you. I'd love to see your form. Could you please e-mail it to [email]lkuehn@rpm-composites.com[/email]? JAMES, et al - How are we coming on posting forms? :>)

I concur with mushroom. If I hire someone as "our" temp - on our payroll - then I report as a new hire. If they are being paid through the temp agency, I do not report. If we hire the temp and put them on our payroll, I record their full-time, re…

I'm probably too late with a response to be of help, but I always send "reject" letters letting people know they are not a good fit for our company at this time. 1) It's not on the phone, doesn't give them a chance to ask questions. 2) It is gener…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-17-04 AT 05:49PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Welcome, Dean! Rule #1 - sarcasm is sometimes used heavily on this forum. x:-) I'm pasting in an incredibly long link so e-mail me if you can't get it to work.…

Here's an even longer answer . . . I copied this in from p. 34 of the FMLA special report. I think the last sentence answers your question, unless I'm not understanding one or the other correctly, which is entirely possible. FMLA makes me want to …

I hire all levels, from production to engineering, and vary my process to fit the situation. For production, we look at job history and related experience to determine if we want to bring them in. Then we use some basic situational questions. I a…

It sounds like you're quoting your manual - in the next revision, you may want to further define this so all you have to do is point to the text when these issues arise. Another thing that can be considered in FT vs. PT is your insurance contract. …

I was afraid to say anything for fear of Don's wrath, but we are currently going through a situation with an alcoholic employee. I was referred to the below website by a friend who has been sober for more than 18 months. It is Alcoholics Anonymous…

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I'd make some attempt to find out what happened. Actually, I'd have done that last week when he stopped returning phone calls. HR people are supposed to go by "just the facts, ma'am" but I would …

Popeye is right on target, and I've looked long and hard at a no-fault. However, with the full support of my president who wishes our employee manual could just read "do the right thing", we occasionally make judgement calls. For example, all empl…

Scorpio, I'm late in weighing in, but I support what you said if that helps you any. :>) In a vague recollection, I think the forum has said that even if you try to match an employee's offer somewhere else, chances are good they'll be gone in s…

A good resource I used when rewriting our attendance policy is the sample provided by HRHero. Go to the subscriber area, click on sample policies & procedures, and then scroll down to the attendance and punctuality policy. You'll want to tweak…

Mercy me, Don, I didn't think southern gents talked of such subjects in mixed company! x0:)

As noted, I'm just getting started on this AA business (be gentle!). For the past year, my own practice has been to accept AND consider them - I really DO consider them. I have briefly floundered about a few web sites without finding any real conc…

I cannot afford to refuse walk-ins. I typically accept them, and file them in a folder marked "unsolicited" (by job title) that I feel they are most qualified for. Then, when I have an opening in that dept, I pull that file and take a look at what…

I'm a week late and way more than a dollar short, but I discovered today that Nebraska's OFCCP office provides technical support and assistance (for writing a plan, anyway). I got their contact info from the DOL/OFCCP's site. Not sure if Ohio does…

That's a new one to me. I wouldn't see it as a problem, but apparently they did. Can you contact your state DOL for the info? NE has a great web site that can be customized for area - it even shows figures for neighboring states.
