  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-20-05 AT 02:06PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Do you have an Employers Association or something similar near you? They may provide on-site training programs, and our experience has been very positive in worki…
  • We provide a sign-language interpreter at company-mandated training, benefit meetings (annually) and year-end plant meetings. Information I received from a MN state agency said, "for mandatory training, it is the employer's responsibility to provid…

  • Sorry - I was using the initials MD as a shortcut for Manufacturing Director!
  • A few years back an investigator with the INS clarified for us that the form cannot be completed before the first day of employment, meaning the first day they are on the payroll. I believe the I-9 instructions state the forms "must be completed at…
  • Could you send me a copy of your form also? Thank you! [email]sharon.bargel@durasupreme.com[/email] fax: 320-543-3310

  • We have a general handbook with all the policies, etc. that is given to ALL employees. Because there are some additional perks for the administrative non-exempt and exempt employees we have a small handbook addendum that is given only to those empl…
  • We'll be hosting an on-site clinic next month. Our medical insurance carrier covers the cost of the shot for our employees, even if they do not have their coverage through us (prevention program). Shots are administered by a vendor that is contract…
