  • How about sending a resume in an e-mail attachment from a program that practically no one but said applicant has? (Not only does it open as gibberish - if at all - but I usually think it's a virus and hit DELETE. Or how about applying for a job on…
  • Well, Don, you inspired me to find out the truth. Pedro has a little buddy from the DR - his name is Nelson de la Rosa, and he is 28 inches tall. Pedro and Nelson sometimes dress alike, and Pedro carries him around. He has been called the Sox's g…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-14-04 AT 07:48PM (CST)[/font][br][br]EEEEWWW!!! Not that one! Especially if ALL his personal hygiene has gone by the wayside! x:o
  • Since the Twins are out, I'm an ABY fan (anybody but the Yankees); our quality manager has tix to games 6 & 7 to cheer for the Cards so I've picked them up on his behalf. I've heard about but have yet to see Pedro's mini-me. Is it true???
  • Our doors are open to refugees - I mean evacuees – but be warned we’ve had 40-50 MPH winds for several days. Looking forward to a drop off tomorrow, with some rain, since I have corn and wheat and cows on my “retirement plan” (no 401ks for us farm …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-28-04 AT 10:07PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I saw the same message on a picture of two toilets . . . there may have also been head shot pictures strategically placed. John Kerry walks into a bar. The barte…
  • YEAH! I told this joke to my husband who made me copy it and e-mail it to him immediately. Thanks, Don!
  • You have gotten some great advice above! I just wanted to pop in and say that attendance policies are - to me - about the toughest policies to write. Just figuring out what we will tolerate feels impossible. We have been working on re-writing our…
  • We don't have a policy per se, but I believe we have a note posted with our labor law posters as a notification that employees who choose to compete on company sports teams (we had a bowling team, I think) were doing so on their own time and any inj…
  • Thanks for that info, E. That makes sense - I got a phone call several weeks ago from a physician's office that does the laproscopic (sp?) carpal tunnel surgery, regarding an employee we had reported with possible CTS. They get a report from the s…
  • I looked up a definition of protected health information (PHI) and got this - -------------------------------------- HIPAA regulations define health information as "any information, whether oral or recorded in any form or medium" that "is created…
  • I deviate from the others a little bit. Our insurance forms contain ZERO health information. Only DOB, SSN - which we have in other places. The only other thing it has is dependent information and their DOBs and SSNs. I have a hard time believin…
  • I hate to see posts go too long without replies, so I'll take a stab at this. We don't have a non-slip shoe policy persay, we just say in our dress code policy that production employees must wear shoes that are closed toe and closed heel, and that …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-28-06 AT 09:48PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I just sent it off! Hope it is useful for you. For those of you who aren't familiar with the icons below the screen names, make sure you use the one at the far l…
  • I checked online, and one definition of protected health information (PHI - it's at the heart of HIPAA, I think) is "information that can be linked to a particular person and that is created, used, or disclosed in the course of providing a health ca…
  • I can't speak for Wisconsin specifically, but I can share what I do. My main personnel file has four parts - 1) training info, 2) application and interview notes, orientation info, 401 (k), etc. 3) insurance enrollments, 4) performance reviews and …
  • We're in the process of revising our handbook (it has been going on for the last 18 months! x:'() so I don't have anything written. I can tell you that we use the FMLA standards (the revision will include a requirement to use paid leave concurrentl…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-16-06 AT 11:05PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I wish we had a set policy on unpaid number of days, but we always want some wiggle room (i.e. we have a policy where an employee can extend their unpaid leave aft…
  • Nope, that would be a mess! If you have employees who drive in the course of their duties, you may want to require they keep record of a current license on file. But once you verify their eligibility to work in the US, you don't do it again unless…
  • I've been thinking about this for a day to see if I could come up with any amazing advice to help you whip this problem into shape. I got nothin' (sorry!). I hate to be Polly Rainstorm, but writing a policy isn't going to do much, and no matter ho…
  • I'm afraid it will be difficult to measure fulfillment of "unexpressed wishes and needs"! Can you tell us a bit about what your organization does? What are the other expectations of management?
  • I'll bite - what's Q4? In case it might help, our company values are - Honesty/truthful communication Teamwork/flexibility Reliability Growth/Continuous improvement Work at (company) and have a normal life
  • Whew - looks like I'm off the hook. I'd have had to dictionary.com a few of those words! :>) Excellent points, Gene.
  • Did your assistant find there was a lot of editing? I have found those translations go straight across, word for word, and if you use slang or words with multiple meanings, it doesn't recognize the context. (And if it doesn't recognize the word, i…
  • It is extremely difficult to tell who is "good". I have an acquaintance who does trasnlations, and I believe he has built up a decent clientele but I would never use him because he can't spell in either language and makes tons of grammar errors. I…
  • One reason that could deter is keeping on top of state changes. Could the law firms designated for each state help with that? I'd think they'd hear about it before the rest of us. I still don't have a good way of figuring out when Nebraska change…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-17-06 AT 10:41AM (CST)[/font][br][br]We could even help out by submitting web pages where our state requirements can be found - that's a pretty good idea, Paul! (nice to have you back, by the way!) …
  • Are you sure it's required? Or is it a state or industry thing? There isn't anything listed under my Nebraska DOL site for HIPAA. Mushroom, do you have one hanging in your plant? Is there something I'm missing? PS - Good for you, Catbert, for f…
  • Allow me to also welcome you to the forum. I don't disagree with anything PB told you above, but I'll put in my two cents. 1) For our company, they are the same. However, we probably need to get more out of the handbook and into a policy manual. …
  • I did finally find an answer to my above question about laminating - the card will say on the back that it is not valid if laminated and it should not be accepted, or it will not say anything about laminating and it's OK. But what defines laminatin…
