  • I would also agree to keep this project separate from your own employees' party. We have always asked for project suggestions from our employees. Our company began with the "Angel Tree" donations that someone saw at the mall, but then felt we wa…

  • We only dock the PTO bank in 1/2 day or whole day increments for exempt employees. We encourage our salary administrative staff to only work 40 hours per week. That is the actual scheduled time and we encourage them to GET OUT at the end of their …

  • In general, we have a "no unpaid time off" policy to avoid people taking the afternoon off unpaid and saving up paid time for other days. However, this is one of the special circumstances where we allow the employee the option to take the additiona…

  • That is what I just recently learned in a seminar. We were told to only "sight check" the identification. If we wanted to keep copies of that documentation, we could keep it in the employee's "confidential" file which is only availavle to HR Dept,…

  • One main reason is the cost issue. Not only to keep producing new complete books, but to update already issued books. Then there is the issue of making sure that employees actually update their books. We want the handbook to be a useful tool, and if…
