I took it many many years ago, but my three kids have all taken it lately (college psych and just for fun). It's making me wonder if there are specific personality types that tend to gravitate towards HR. I am a ENTJ .....anyone else?

I went back and looked on mid-2012, the OP states they have assumed a "larger role" at their employer. It seems like this poster had moved up with little to no education/knowledge and has little support outside that board. It seems like they are a go getter wanting to learn, which is...

I know I am late to this party, but I seem to remember that poster stating they don't actually work in HR/payroll, but are a line manager (?) and is trying to gain perspective/knowledge etc. about the field. That said, I do wonder how they passed the PHR (or can you skip it and go directly to...

Google is one of my closest friends, unfortunately QC can stand for many things : questionable content, quality control, queens college, queens counsel, queen city (charlotte NC), etc. Of course context does help so the #4 choice it is. So yes, I could have probably googled it, but decided to...

Curious...what is a QC designation? Glad you can be of help!

I dont' think there are any Australian lawyers or HR professionals on this forum. Most of us are American and know US laws. All I can suggest is getting an appointment with a local attorney and go over the timing with him/her.

i'd be honest about it prior to any background check. I've not hired because of something on a BG check but have hired when the applicant told me about it first. And offered a reasonable explanation like you have here. But your mileage may vary.

Even without a claim of sexual harrassment, I wouldn't expect you to be able to keep your job. Dating students is definitely a large conflict of interest--even if they never claim SH. I am surprised there is no formal policy regarding it. As a mom of two 18 yo girls, it doesn't matter if...

You might want to rethink your policy in light of the NLRA. Employees under that law have the right to discuss their wages with co-workers. A company policy can not override that. And negative statements/attitudes can be dealt with although you must be careful. It might well depend on...

It might also depend on who holds the insurance contract and what their rules are along with any state insurance rules/laws. Generally I agree with cbg on the fact that it is best to move them to COBRA immediately and just have the employer pay the premium during the severance time. However...

I've been through it twice -- once with my elderly employer (owner of most of the company) and once with my parents. It's crazy honestly and it is a big part of what worries me about the ACA and the government being so involved in health coverage for so many more people. And yes, my parents...

Has anyone else been getting these from TPAs/insurance brokers that deal with health insurance? I've gotten the bum's rush to sign these agreements quickly or am being told that as an employer we would be liable if we don't sign them. Neither TPA has done a great job explaining what it is or...

I had one employee (a housekeeper at a fitness gym) refuse to sign that she had RECEIVED the PPACA notice, not even that she read or agreed with it...just that she got it! At the time, she had requested that HR fill out a form for welfare benefits since she has been out on FMLA and...

I'm dealing with an FMLA situation right now too.... Our group of companies is large enough to be eligible but each location is small. So one person being out inconsistently (both block and intermittent) stinks. We're not big enough to get any kind of software to help with the tracking, so...

I would reissue the policy without that wording. It's just too relative and doesn't really add anything. And it would avoid any issues in the future. However, you can (and should) hold her to that standard especially since it was already explained to her once that she was supposed to call...

Many companies have policies with short term contractors and/or newly hired employees that no timeoff is allowed within the first x days. This is legal if the company applies it to all situations and doesn't just single out specific instances. Many short term contracts are just that. Short...

No. While I have to admire his ingenuity, just because there is an opening doesn't mean he automatically gets it. I would probably either not respond or respond with the fact that the company is reviewing the position and will review his resume along with the rest of the applicants. While I...
