[Busmanagers] HR Policy and Procedure Questions

[Malcolm, Patricia J]

Hi Chris

 

I asked the question of a staff member who booked a holiday and wanted
to take 2 wks LSL - one before the holidays and one after the holidays.
I told her that this would mean the holidays would become LSL as well.
She then asked the question could she take 1 week LSL and 1 week LWOP.
This would mean she was only losing 1 week's pay rather than 2 extra
weeks of her LSL.  I wasn't sure what affect, if any, this would have on
her vacation leave.   I couldn't find anything in HRWeb to cover this
and I know it probably can't deal with all scenarios.

Hi all

 

The primary reason for my request to be part of this mail list was so
that I could gain some insight into the issues, problems and questions
from business managers and SSOs, particularly with concern to
HR/Personnel responsibilities.  One of the things that I have noticed
over time is that questions are asked where the answer/information is
available on HRWeb.  (I also have the feeling that the number of such
questions is increasing, but that might just be me.)  I am very keen to
understand why this might be so.  Is it because?

 

1.	it's too hard to find the answers on HRWeb
2.	the information is not clear enough
3.	need reassurance that your understanding is correct
4.	don't have time to look
5.	don't have the required skills
6.	all the above
7.	some other reason/s

 

Answers to the above is important to me at this time because we are in
the early stages of a review of HRWeb with the aim of improving it to
better meet the requirements of the various user groups
(managers/administrators, employees, potential employees).  Please feel
free to contact me directly (email or phone) with your comments,
complaints or suggestions.  If you have any tips or tricks 

 

I feel that the insight I gain from the exchange of emails is invaluable
in helping me better support all business managers and SSOs as my main
responsibility is for HR communications, which includes being site
manager for HRWeb and the editor of HRM Online.  If I can also
occasionally help out by answering questions, clarifying or (even rarer)
correcting information that is posted, then hopefully that is to the
advantage of us all too.
