  • We stopped abuse of PTO by stating in the policy if they were gone 2 or more hours during an 8 hour day, it was mandatory that they take PTO. What was happening was that employees would not use PTO so they could have time off at a later date. We h…
    in Employee won't take PTO Comment by seeleyhr January 2005
  • What happens if the employee leaves the premises, smokes and then returns on their unpaid lunch? Would like to stop this also. If they smoke in their cars, they can come in smelling of smoke also. They have been smoking outside for years but on t…
    in No Smoking on Premises Comment by seeleyhr January 2005
  • We already subsidize gym memberships; however, most offices are not close enough to a gym to partipate at lunch time. We were tninking of exercise they can do at their location such as walking. Most of our locations are in a rural location where t…
    in Exercising on company paid time Comment by seeleyhr January 2005
  • Unfortunately we do not have an onsite gym. Some locations are city and some are rural. The exercising would be off company premises. In normal situations, when an employee leaves the premises for lunch/personal reasons they are to swipe off the …

  • Thank you for your assistance.
    in Spanish programs Comment by seeleyhr January 2005
  • We require employees who take off more than 2 hours in a day to use PTO. We had too many employees taking off early, coming in late and then making up their time when it was convenient for them during the week. They then used their accummulated PTO…

  • I would check with your wage and hour bureau with this one. They have guidelines as to what to follow. You might also what to check the Labor Dept. wage and hour manual or their website.
    in Exempt EE, UI Hearing Comment by seeleyhr November 2004
  • I have had people fill out W4s for a lot more exemptions than I know they had but this is their choice and I do as they request on the W4. The government receives a copy of the employee's W2 at the end of the year and it is up to the government to …
    in W-4 Question Comment by seeleyhr November 2004
  • Checked this out with the experts at ADP (payroll processors and background check experts). They said once an offer is made you can ask the question and they even provided me with a form to have them fill out. We have been getting stung lately.

  • Have had this same situation. What we did was a review on the individual. Was told exactly what needed to be changed. Wrote an action plan on how things were to be changed and gave a time frame. Did a review after this to see if things had impro…
    in volatile manager Comment by seeleyhr November 2004
  • Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. The employees approached the company in being able to do this. Have decided to let them with some restrictions. Probably will have them keep at least 40 hours of PTO available for their own use inasmuch a…

  • Yes please, send it to [email]mketchem@seeleymedical.com[/email]. Thanks.
    in No Smoking Comment by seeleyhr September 2004
  • I would appreciate seeing the policy. You may email it to [email]mketchem@seeleymedical.com[/email]. We have had complaints from doctors and customers which is why we are considering this.
    in No Smoking Comment by seeleyhr September 2004
  • Used to do it this way too until my job responsibilites kept growing, just not enough time. Employees now fill a leave request prior to going, they swipe when working on timeclocks, swipes go to internet, supervisors approve swipes and also enter n…
    in Tracking attendance/tardiness Comment by seeleyhr September 2004
  • It is called Employee Attendance Tracking Made Easy (MyBiz Attendance). They keep updating this program all the time and making it better and I feel it is inexpensive.
    in Tracking attendance/tardiness Comment by seeleyhr September 2004
  • Have 90 employees. We have them fill out a leave request that their manager signs and then comes to HR to sign. Not considered improved until I do. Helps me double check with time sheets. I also use an inexpensive software program that I purchas…

    in Who does HR Report to in your organization? Comment by seeleyhr September 2004
  • Thanks everyone for your responses. Gave me some good information for sharing.
    in Who does HR Report to in your organization? Comment by seeleyhr August 2004
  • Seems like I read somewhere that HR should report directly to the owner and not to anyone involved in financing. However, we are only 90 employees.
    in Who does HR Report to in your organization? Comment by seeleyhr August 2004
  • This company lets the manager do the chosing of applicants so the original applications and resumes go directly to the managers. I never see them until I do the reference checking, etc.
    in Employment Applications Comment by seeleyhr August 2004
  • Thanks to everyone for your input. I can advise supervisors to keep solicited resumes and applications for 6 months (as they are always calling me and asking for one or two back) and then send to me after that and my office can keep for one year an…
    in Employment Applications Comment by seeleyhr August 2004
  • Our applications do not ask for birthdates; however, we go through ADP's Applicant Background Checks prior to hiring and their form does ask for birthdates. This is the major area of concern for me. We have offsite locations that do their own hiri…
    in Employment Applications Comment by seeleyhr August 2004
  • Knew this was not health information but I also thought under the HIPAA guidelines or read it somewhere that birthdates and social security numbers are part of protected information that other employees should not have access to and is considered co…
    in Employment Applications Comment by seeleyhr August 2004
  • Social security numbers are on the applications as well as birthdates on the release information. Would this not be personal information that should be protected from other than the manager that would be reviewing the applciation?
    in Employment Applications Comment by seeleyhr August 2004
  • Just a thought, my employer invested in timeclocks which my computer dials several times a day and collects swipes from employees. It then takes the data and puts it into the Internet and it is calculated then. Each supervisor has access to this w…
    in Late timecard no pay policy Comment by seeleyhr July 2004
  • Just so everyone understands, we do not dock their wages but require them when they are off to use a full day of PTO that they have accumulated for illness, vacation, holiday. Hope this clarifies my question.
