I vote for #3. I was a "vouyer"- spelled right?? Maybe I should have said "peeping tom" before I joined the forum and it was because I was able to see the posts and comments that I felt it was worth while joining. I don't have much time to post bu…

Congratuations!! Nothing like having a new baby to keep our lives in perspective. The best to all of you. :-) Valentine.

I guess I'm an info seeker and a tease and maybe a lurker. I have very little time to post; however, I do try to read the posts as often as possible and if one hits that I think I can help with I'll post a reply but it is often after the person has…

I agree with you and do the same thing. My husband says I'm too soft. He should see me at work some time, having to deal with ee trying to play the system, I don't think he'd say I was to soft then :-)

We are a retirement community and have an independent side where residents live on their own and take care of their needs with help from our Resident Services Staff and we have a 45 bed health care center. An ex of unexpressed wishes given was we h…

We are also a life care community very similar to yours. Our marketing director is exempt, the marketing associates are not.

Hi Pork: Yes, that is very helpful. We start a person the first day of the month after 90 days so in this case. The person signed up for benefits in February to take effect March 1st. Our pay date was March 7th and covered payroll from 2-16 thru…

I'm confused ?? :-( I thought exempt meant you couldn't pay overtime because the employee would lose their exempt status and you'd end up having to go back and pay them as an hourly employee. We have salaried non-exempt employees at our facility. …

We don't dock the exempt employee but we follow the handbook policy and they are written up. All Department Director's reviews are done during the same month and we have a bonus plan. The employee's review would reflect the excess absenteeism and …

We have a benefit election form that ee sign. If they do not want benefits they can get an additional $52 per pay period in their check if they provide proof of health coverage. They check the box on the form if they want to elect this. That way …

Hi Linda: I'm not sure I quite understand how you do that paying bi-weekly. The paycheck dated March 7th would show health insurance taken out for the weeks of 2/16 and 2/23. It is a fixed amount; however, the employee's benefits didn't start unt…

Our plan year begins December 1st and we've taken a big hit. We've been able to absorb the costs in the past but not this year; this year the highest increase will be a $58 bi-weekly increase for the family plan from $110 to $168; single is going …

Yes - ED is Executive Director. I wish this employee didn't complain. Unfortunately, she thinks everthing is "owed" to her which is why I'm surprised her finger acted up all of a sudden without anything being mentioned since January. Thank you fo…

Also agree. We changed our policy to read FMLA runs with WC and ST.
-
Usually before LT kicks in, ST does. We have a policy. EE goes out on ST disability. Their 12 weeks of FMLA runs concurrent. EE is entitled to 26 weeks of ST disability. At the end of the 26 weeks, they FMLA has been exhausted and EE is told th…

If there are a lot of changes, we re-issue the complete handbook. If there are only a few changes. We attach the changes to an acknowledgment form and have them sign an acknowledgment that they have received the changes. That way we have proof th…

Your suggestion of random drug testing is good. We started doing it in Massachusetts and was told by our attorney its not a good practice because MA does not have a law on doing random drug testing and it could be a problem. Does anyone do random …
-
I also feel a paper copy should be given. We had a situation where an ee swore up and down they were never told about a policy. Well, the fact that it was in the handbook and they signed for the handbook turned the situation in our favor. Good re…

We have a system in place where I have to get the signed application and the payroll input form signed by the manager and executive director before I will do anything on the hiring process. This way I know the application was approved and the salar…

I do random drug screens the first of the month. The ee is called to my office, given the paperwork and they go immediately to the drug screening center alone. If they do not have a car with them, then someone drives them over. They are paid for …

Maryan Thank you so much for sharing that article. It gave me some great ideas on how to become a better time manager and I sure can use the help! :-) Valentine

Nothing like a good religious debate to liven things up. Religion and Politics the two bound to get people talking -- for better or worse :-) That said. I've read all of the posts and I have to agree with DonD. Religion is an extremely sensitive…

Nina I have been told the exact same thing. I am also compliance. Department Directors make their own decisions with re to employee issues and go to the Executive Director when they need guidance. The ED feels he is an expert in this area. Howe…

Our Department Directors always give copies of the performance evaluation to employees. That way they can see the areas they are weak in and need to work on. Also, the feedback on the evaluation form is helpful to the employee.
-
I agree - In Massachusetts if you terminate an employee, you must give them their final paycheck at time of termination. If they quit it must be given/mailed to them by the next payroll period. I wouldn't hold their paycheck because the company …

I'm curious as to why you would conduct the drug screen after hiring the person? When we give an offer it is contingent upon them taking and passing the drug screen before they are hired to work. We've had a couple of cases when it was good that we…

Nick What state are you in? We have the same policy and I've never been able to get away with not paying UE in Massachusetts.
