• Congratulations!

  in It's a boy!!!! Comment by amwkim April 2004
• It depends on what kind of visa he has.

  in Exempt from Taxes? Comment by amwkim July 2005
• My first question - why does only one have a company car? 2. What exactly does "routinely" mean? 3. Is 100% telecommuting an option?

  in Reimbursing and Paying Correctly Comment by amwkim November 2004
• Same with us, but remember, if a non-exempt employee travels (out of town/overnight) on a non-scheduled work day, you do not have to pay them for that time.

• Big,fat NO on that one.

  in Reporting to work 5 minutes early Comment by amwkim October 2004
• In all of my years in payroll and HR (and there has been a lot :-) )I have never heard of this. I would like to know where your supervisor got this information.

  in Bonus Pay Comment by amwkim June 2004
• You should be here in Washington (state) where minimum wage is $7.17. But then again, a gallon of milk will cost you $4. :-)

  in new minimum wage? Comment by amwkim May 2004
• I understand that once the check leaves your hands, you are no longer responsible. However, the employee is not at fault for a "lost" check and in my opinion, should not be penalized.

  in Non-DD EE's Paycheck lost in the mail Comment by amwkim May 2004
• Our company will allow extra "floating" holidays for the regularly paid holidays that fall on weekends this year. Our employees seem happy with this because they can pick when they want the extra time off. The one catch we have is that the floater…

  in Holiday Pay Dilemma for 2004 Comment by amwkim April 2004
• We too are taking the 23rd as our "Christmas Eve" holiday and the 24th as "Christmas".

  in 2004 Holidays Comment by amwkim February 2004
• I agree. You may want to encourage ALL employees to verify that the information on their check stubs is correct.

  in Incorrect withholdings entered Comment by amwkim January 2004
• What is you definition of "full-time" in your handbook? At 35 hours, is she still eligible for benefits? Is her pay being reduced? Is the purpose just to ensure she doesn't work overtime? If so, can she be moved to exempt status?

  in reducing hours of non-exempt Comment by amwkim January 2004
• How can you require employees to have direct deposit? What if an employee doesn't have a bank account?

  in Direct Deposti Comment by amwkim July 2006
• What does your medical insurance contract say? It may require 100% participation. Check it carefully. We offer employees $100 per month if they don't take our coverage. They have to sign a waiver and prove they have comparable coverage elsewhere…

  in Make employee's salary more since they don't need health ins Comment by amwkim June 2006
• So, if I understand the post, the ex-spouse is covered just like if they were still married? It is not a COBRA situation? I haven't heard of that. I have dealt with the employee having to pay for the ex-spouse's COBRA premiums. I look forward to…

  in Ex-spouse Coverage. Comment by amwkim August 2005
• My understanding is if he isn't legally divorced, his spouse has to sign an acknowledgement that she is aware of the employee taking a loan.

  in pension loan Comment by amwkim July 2005
• We match 50% up to the first 6% of employee contribution. Nothing after that.

  in Poll--What's your 401(k) match? Comment by amwkim June 2005
• Nope. You don't accrue if you are on unpaid leave.

  in Leave Accrual while on STD Comment by amwkim June 2005
• We pay 100% of employee medical/dental/ltd. The employee is 100% responsible for their dependents. This will change with our next renewal due to the costs.

  in Poll-what do your employees pay for health insurance? Comment by amwkim April 2005
• Yes, we do. Exempt employees are eligible for benefits the first of the month following date of hire. Non-exempt employees are eligible the first of the month following 60 days of employment. Hope this helps. ~Kim

  in Different waiting period for benefits? Comment by amwkim February 2005
• We use Flex-Plan Service, Inc. I am very happy with their service. Their website is [url]www.flex-plan.com[/url].

  in Flexible Spending Accounts Comment by amwkim October 2004
• I have run into a similar issue in the past. Other than lack of communication, is there anything else that would make employees not enroll, like $$?? I know it sounds ridiculous, but if you are making $10/hr, it seems impossible to "sock" any away…

  in 401(k) incentive to enroll? Comment by amwkim June 2004
• We too are doing it this way. You would be surprised how many people remember to log in and elect their options after realizing they aren't making any money in the MM.

  in Poll: 401k Loan Fees Comment by amwkim May 2004
• We had a one time $75 administrative fee.

  in Poll: 401k Loan Fees Comment by amwkim May 2004
• You are not wrong, but COBRA has to be offered for FSA accounts. I am always sure to explain to COBRA apps that there is not "good" reason to continue their FSA.

  in Flexible Spending Accnt Balances at Termination Comment by amwkim May 2004
• Once an employee terminate, all of their benefits terminate too. We allow employees to use thier FSA for expensed incurred on or before their final active date. Allowing them to use the account after they terminate is not allowed.

• Unfortunately, there isn't anything you can do. Do you ask other employees the status of their marriages in hopes to cut costs? My suggestion would be to refer your employee to your EAP program. Sounds like she needs some support, not pressure to…

  in Delete Spouse from Medical Comment by amwkim May 2004
• 1 - 5 Years = 10 days 6 -15 Years = 15 days 16-25 Years = 20 days 25+ Years = 25 days We allow 5 sick days per year.
