What is your email? I have a form that works well for us.

After a couple of employees took advantage of the "borrowing" we no longer allow it. Salaried employees may take off after their vacation (PTO) is used up but it is without pay.

I would like to see the sample budget but the page has been removed from that link. Any chance you can repost it?

Open1. You are so correct about their manual. Absolutely worthless. I spent alot of time on the phone with customer service. They were very helpful and walked me through it. I also have an IT person across the hall which helps too.

We are in the process of switchng to Time Force and so far its great. A few bugs at first but their support group has been very helpful. They have an excellent reporting module and job tracking.

Rather than change to pay date I always offer the employees a live check as opposed to direct deposit. That way on Wednesday they are free to deposit their check as usual. I have very few take me up on this offer because for the most part the bank…

Thanks for all your input (even you Don). It was good just to be able to share this with people who understand what a complicated job Human Resources is.

(She made suggestive remarks to him in front of other personnel on our production floor so I must get involved.) I guess the only thing we can do is write her up for poor performance and hope that opens her eyes. And it looks like its time to upda…

An example of her erratic behavior - yesterday a much younger male employee came to me with a complaint that she has been "chasing him". As in going to his apartment at all hours of the day and night and calling his phone numerous times. His rooma…

No, we dont have an EAP. Thats part of the problem. She sees nothing wrong with her work performance (there is) nor with her behavior. The comp time that has been proposed is to let her sneak out of the building and go home when she wants to. She…

She has spoken openly about depression and her medications in the past to her director so its no assumption on my part. We do not have a policy on comp time, in fact it has never been offered, so I have no precedence to go on. And I dont want to s…

I have spoken with her and she is offended that I suggested she see a physician or other professional for help. She honestly doesnt think anything is wrong.

Ray, thats already happening here in Texas. You can cross the border, go to a doctor who writes a script and legally bring your drugs back across. Of course, you must only bring across what you are going to use personally (lol). Thats where most o…

Amen Mace. Many of my employees are Asian and you talk about some heartbreaking stories. One young engineer spent 7 years in the Phillipines, in a camp waiting year after year for a sponsor. They are not allowed to work so spent the days doing wh…

People without proper documentation are criminals. I agree with punishing employers who exploit the workers but what type of worker programs are you talking about? And how do we secure thousands of miles of desert?
-
Just a brief update on the original walk out and things happening today. Two of the 3 ee's were awarded unemployment but we are protesting. I'm a little confused in the inconsistant treatment by the unemployment office since the circumstances were …

I've seen that too. Most are paid a set dollar amount for a days work but the days can be 14 or 16 hours long.

On any given day you can drive up to a Home Depot and hire a truck load of Hispanics for the day to do any type of maual labor which of course is paid for in cash at the end of the day and never reported by anyone. My ex husband owns a construction…

Interesting article. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Since my original post, our Idaho office has received calls of support from individuals and places we do business with. If any of our current employees would like to march in the May 1 rally all we are going to ask is that they notify us in advance…
-
In one of my earlier posts I mentioned the May 1 walk out and that we are preparing early for it.
-
Thanks Pork. Our employees are respected and appreciated and are shown that by our actions and words. Supervisors and managers are encouraged to praise and commend good performers and do so on a daily basis. My problem is the distance with this sa…
-
Pork, I get where you're going with the post but let's look at it from the employers point of view. The employees did not attempt to organize on the company premises, and they were certainly not discouraged from expressing their opinion. They walk…

I know. I wish more thought had been given this before action was taken but it is what it is at this point. Actually our corp attorney was involved in this from the beginning and they were not all hispanics that walked out. I'm in the process of …
-
I've used the completely wrong terminology in my original post. These employees were not terminated, they vacated their job and because of pressing deadlines we filled those vacancies. I wish as you were able to do that we had had a chance to spea…
-
These employees were very upfront about why they were leaving and encouraged other employees to walk out with them.
-
Got a call in to him now. Thanks for all the input.

I don't know yet that there are no restrictions. The job requires sitting for 8 hours minimum and the doctor has asked for a job description so he can pick through it and see if there is anything she will not be able to do. All jobs in our manufac…

Non work related. She was replace by a young man.
