How and Why to Create an Employee Grievance Policy
Regardless of size or industry, every company will eventually have its share of disputes and disagreements among its employees. These conflicts tend to lead to problems for your business – from unmotivated workers all the way to negative publicity or even employee lawsuits.

2019 Report: People Management, Perception vs. Reality
Paycor surveyed more than 700 CEOs, CFOs and HR leaders about employee engagement, turnover and compliance practices. Download our latest report to see what they said. What you’ll learn: C-Suite Perceptions Metrics that human resources can leverage to impact the bottom line. Most organizations don’t believe they effectively engage their employees. Turnover Most organizations don’t know how much it costs to hire a new employee. (And the true cost is more than they think.) What causes turnover? It depends on if you ask upper management or the employees who are actually leaving. Only 50% of organizations surveyed track turnover metrics. Compliance One-third of organizations don’t know how frequently they audit their compliance practices....HR
Is Holiday Pay Mandatory In Your State?
The FLSA Only Requires Employers to Pay for Time Worked Unlike most of the European Union, the United States has no federal law requiring private companies to pay for national holiday time off (by law, all employees in the EU also get a minimum of 28 paid vacation days). The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires an employer to pay its employees only for time worked. This means that if an employee takes the day off for Christmas, you don’t have to pay them for time not worked. But Most Employers Offer Paid Holidays In practice, though, most private sector employers in the US give their employees the day off for national holidays, or they pay them time-and-a-half for working on the day. Some companies also offer a floating holiday,...HR
The Different Types of Turnover
Voluntary vs. Involuntary Turnover Regardless of business type there are two main types of employee turnover: voluntary and involuntary. Within each of those categories, however, you’ll find various reasons for why a company might have employee turnover. While the term “turnover” sometimes has a negative connotation, not all turnover is bad. For example, when a poorly performing employee is let go and replaced with someone who is motivated and excels at their job, productivity can soar. This new worker can bring bottom-line benefits, as well as provide an overall boost to team morale. What is involuntary turnover? Involuntary turnover includes layoffs or reductions in force and terminating poorly performing employees. The first type of...

Employees’ Rights for Jury Duty Leave
Jury duty is foundational to our country’s judicial system. So, whether you’re in the, “Oh, no, I’ve got jury duty!” or the, “Awesome, I’ve got jury duty!” camp, as an employer, it’s important to understand the law. Your Responsibilities as an Employer Seem Clear Federal law does not require you to provide your employees leave for jury duty service nor does it provide for a specified period of leave, compensation or benefits. But it Gets Complicated Many states and municipalities prohibit employers from docking pay or paid time off when an employee is serving on a jury. Most of them also prohibit employers from firing or penalizing an employee for serving jury duty. And some states require you to pay an employee for time not worked as a...

How to Create a Shift Swapping Policy
When Life Happens, Employees Swap Shifts In a survey of retail managers conducted by scheduling technology company WorkJam, 62% said they had sales associates quit due to ongoing scheduling conflicts. It’s important to your company’s retention efforts that, if you have shift workers, you fully understand that sometimes “life happens” and your employees will occasionally need to switch up their schedules. Shift Swapping Needs to be Strategic Of course, companies need consistency and dependability when scheduling staff, and employees also need the flexibility to adapt to the demands of life with doctor’s visits, kids, spouses and aging parents. But these requirements don’t necessarily have to work against each other. A well-thought-out...

Franchise Payroll: Answering Tough Questions
It’s no secret that payroll for franchisees and franchisors can be a hodgepodge of confusion. Who’s responsible for payroll? Often, it’s a toss-up. With so much confusion it’s easy to fall victim to major fines and penalties. That’s why it’s so important to get payroll right. If you’re one of the lucky few (a franchise with a built-in payroll provider as part of the franchise agreement), great! But if not, you may be left with tedious HR tasks that take your focus away from your customers. Before we dive deeper, let’s identify the players in the game. “Employer” “Franchisor” and “Franchisee” Who’s Who? Owning a franchise is similar in many ways to running an independent small business, such as a restaurant or dry cleaners. One of the...

Get ExpertisePeople Management is the Foundation of HR
Did you know that, according to Gallup, 70% of an employee’s motivation is influenced by their manager? People management isn’t easy and takes a certain finesse to be successful. You have to be consistent in policy and procedure from the top down. Strong leadership can make all the difference.
A good leader has the ability to interact with different personality types while maintaining fair and impartial judgment. Leaders look out for their teams, from making sure each team member has the right tools and technology to get the job done to making sure there’s a mutually understood common goal, a north star. A good leader wants to see employees succeed and gives constructive feedback to help with business development, personal and professional growth.
A recent Paycor study revealed “bad bosses” is one of the top reasons employees quit. This just reiterates the importance of developing quality managers who are invested in giving their teams a purpose. Check out our People Management content to see how you can transform your people process.
