Guess I'm a bit late replying but I missed the post. I took the PHR last December. I passed and spent $0 on study materials although I did study. I used the materials I received from AllenaK on the SHRM bulletin board plus SHRM "White Papers." R…

Parabeagle: If you're coming to Alabama I hope you have better weather than we're having now - humidity 100%, thunderstorms (the power at the plant just blinked out four times at 10 minute intervals), and 90 degree temperatures. You might want to …

HS: Thanks - I really needed the laughs. All of those people have either been in my office or called me today.

I'm an Aries - March 30th. So far I seem to be the only Aries who posted. Maybe I'm an anomaly.

Congratulations - a beautiful baby and a picture you will always cherish. Thanks for letting us share the moment.

Margaret: I agree that Don looks wrong. (Sorry, Don.) His appearance is way too kindly and normal to suit either his writing style or its content. I pictured him older (sorry, again), slightly overweight and graying. I also pictured him in a thre…

I always planned to write the great American novel, become rich and famous and appear on the Tonight show. I've scaled back some and will now be happy with a successful mystery novel (I'm working on it) and a good career in mfg. HR (working on it, …

I don't know if integrity is dead, but it may be on life-support. I also don't think the problem is new. I know I'm showing my age, but as long ago as fifteen years ago I learned to double-schedule interview appointments so I wouldn't have to wast…

I presume you're not asking about mundane items like turkey meatloaf? Cause I fix a mean one of those. But for very special occasions (like wedding anniversaries) I have been known to prepare Beef Wellington and Oysters Rockefeller. And now I'm s…

Let's see - my soap opera name would be Sonia Sherman (I am middle nameless) and my exotic movie star name would be Gadget Ridgewood. Afraid those don't get it - they sound more like characters from an Upton Sinclair novel.

Don - Beer in cans? Shocking! I'm sure bottled and imported will be all that is allowed.

I took the PHR last December and passed respectably. I studied only from materials passed along from Allena on the SHRM Certification board and from SHRM White Papers and other material I looked up when I hit a subject I was unfamiliar with (mostly …

Hate the grocery store - how do I count the ways? Of all the necessary evils of life, I think grocery shopping is the worst. (Especially since I gave up ironing.) First of all, I have a passionate hatred of Winn-Dixie. They recently instituted one o…

I agree - my scheduled hours are 7:30 to 4:00 but I am here every day at 5:00 or so - the best time for me to get things done without many interruptions. I do try to leave at 4:00 and I know that people think I'm a clock watcher. Oh well - it works…

Very, very salty pretzels and an ice cold coke. Of course, my real favorite is caviar fresh from the jar (eaten with a mother-of-pearl spoon of course) and ice cold champagne, alas, my monthly pittance will not cover such luxuries.
-
I don't know why, but everywhere I've worked I've been told by someone: "you have to have a couch in the ladies room." I looked and looked years ago, but could find no such requirement. My favorite was the 21-year old employee who looked me right …

Christy: He is a beauty - and how nice to see these adorable pictures at the end of a long and horrifying work week. Hope your family prospers and grows - don't worry you'll get used to being sleep-deprived and learn to love it.

Okay - you're on.

I sent you the one I use. Hope it helps.

We offer up to three paid days, to be taken between the day of the death and the day of the funeral or successive days that include the funeral, for immediate family (mother, father, sibling, spouse, child, grandparent), up to three excused unpaid d…

We're in Alabama and under a union contract, we pay 20 cents for second and 30 cents for third.

We are a mfg. organization and corporate-wide we pay 80% of medical insurance premiums, 0% of dental insurance, all of life insurance and 90% of ltd. STD is a benefit provided by the company and no premiums are involved. There are additional life …

We match 50 cents on the dollar up to the first 6% of employee contributions. This applies across the board to all salaried and hourly employees.

Absolutely - the student has no Continuation rights to a plan which never covered him.

Thanks - this is a union environment and both the call-in time and designated line are quite well-defined. Of course, this doesn't stop the excuses but I get to laugh at them.
-
Thanks - I did a search after I posted and found that this had been addressed. I spoke to the employee who said her daughter was fine but might need a C-section. I gave her FMLA paperwork and told her that if the doctor said her daughter had a ser…

And they say attitudes have changed. I guess the "old-fashioned" (I mean backward)ideas expressed by the Personnel Officer are still hanging on but I really thought that most people, especially hr people, knew better than to express them. Thanks…
