Recruiters who work in-house -- as opposed to companies that provide recruiting and staffing services -- play a key role in developing the employer's workforce. They advertise job postings, source candidates, screen applicants, conduct preliminary interviews and coordinate hiring efforts with managers responsible for making the final selection of candidates. Safety Workplace safety is an important factor. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers have an obligation to provide a safe working environment for employees. One of the main functions of HR is to support workplace safety training and maintain federally mandated logs for workplace injury and fatality reporting.

...analytical ability and employee benefit administration. A HRIS system is packaged as a data base and hundreds of companies like ADP, People Soft, Oracle and SAP sell HRIS systems; however, let’s keep in mind each HRIS system has different capabilities. Therefore, when selecting the appropriate HRIS system for your organization, be sure to base your selection on the capabilities need within your organization. An effective HRIS system can provide data on just about anything the organization needs. Additionally, during the selection process, ensure the HRIS system has the ability for customization programming. Your business needs may be different than other organizations and/or industry; therefore, having the ability to produce an ad-hoc a report is very important. Just recently, I had the opportunity to research and suggest a new HRIS operation system. When I took on this assignment I was sure this would be an easy task as I have worked on several different HRIS systems and thought I would just recommend one that I was very knowledgeable and proficient. However, I couldn’t just think about myself; I had to consider the HR department and the impact this operational system would have on the entire organization. However, this was a very gruesome and labor intensive assignment; as it involved numerous testing scenarios and implementation. Although I don’t have an IT background it was very educational to work with the IT Personnel discussing HR operational needs in laymen’s...

...resource practice, pertains to “the systematic process of determining the skills, duties, and knowledge required for performing jobs in an organization.” (Mondy, 2012). In similar manner, Dr. Roque (2005) defined job analysis as “the process of determining and reporting pertinent information relating to the nature of a specific job” (Roque and Edralin, 2005). As such, job analysis is an activity that sets in detail the tasks necessary in performing one‟s duties in an organization. It so to speak acts as the employees‟ „bible‟ that would set the standards and needed qualifications in successfully performing one‟s functions in the organization. In any organization, this function is the starting point of human resources management. Clearly, other HR functions such as, but not limited to, hiring, performance appraisal, training needs analysis, compensation management, cast dependence on it.

...Construct a project charter to revamp the compensation and benefits package. Project name: Compensation & Benefits Date: January 25, 2011 As an HR manager, I have to come up with a plan to revamp the compensation and benefits package. I have to essentially come up with what is expected from a team so that there is no miscommunication about what is required. First, a compensation plan has to be written for the company should provide the managers with an important tool to get the most out of those who report to them. Second, the plan should include every form of the compensation that is available, such as, salary, bonuses, merit increases, wages and overtime, paid time off, 401(k), and other profit sharing plans. Third, we should have a policy regarding the number of hours worked, overtime, compensatory time, and paid time off (i.e. vacation, sick leave, or personal days). Lastly, the minimum or base salary grades should be based on the job title, description of the job, qualifications, and education should be established to see what will be paid to the employees. A compensation package should be what encourages long term employees that they will be rewarded without tying their hands or creating a sense of entitlement. As the HR manager, I have to present this material to the stakeholders as well as to upper management for approval of this project. We want to see where the dollars you (as the employee) spend on after tax dollars by showing what you...

The case discusses the organization and provides details of the human resource department. Also presented are e-mails from various staff members. The e-mails identify specific problems that need to be addressed by the HR department and provides a look at King’s overall culture. You may find the tone of some e-mails to be unprofessional. This is a good lesson for us all--As much as we enjoy informality in the workplace, all documents and correspondence— including e-mails—can be retained and are discoverable in litigation.

...of the employee, employer, physician, and insurance carrier and what are the implications of unrestricted access to a patient’s medical records. When you are injured on the job, you need to apply for workers’ compensation. These settlements are to help provide you with money for medical bills and missed pay. The purpose or design for workers’ compensation is to support you while you can’t work, because of a work related injury. “In most states, workers compensation state laws contain exclusive remedy provisions. This means that your only remedy is to file workmen’s comp settlements. You may not sue your employer for injuries. Therefore, it is essential to understand how to file a workers compensation report to protect your ability to recover for job related injuries (ExpertHub.com, 2011, p. 1)”. The responsibility of reporting an on work site accident or injury should be reported by the employee within 24 hrs. If the injury does not have a specific start date, such as carpal tunnel then the statute of limitations begins running from the time when you should have reasonably known about the injury. The responsibility of the employer would be to make sure that he or she gives you the correct forms to fill out then present them to the proper insurance companies. “These forms and claim documents may require you to submit proof of injury in the form of medical records and other expert statements. The physicians are responsible for the treatment of the patient. To determine the extent...

...different systems of compensation as well as the benefits and disadvantages of each. It will define comparable worth and how companies can compensate their employees based on this and not break any federal legislation. Billy’s Bar-B-Q What are the different types of compensation systems? What are the benefits and disadvantages of each type of compensation? Companies have to compensate their employees for the work that they do. What is Comparable Worth? How do companies attempt to compensate their employees based on the Comparable Worth concept without violating the federal legislation? Companies have many laws they have to follow and by basing the compensation on comparable worth, the companies are letting the employees know they matter to the company. Compensation is “something given as an equivalent for services (Compensation, 2012).” Compensation is given in different types such as base pay, commissions, overtime pay, bonuses, travel, stock options, and benefits (HR Guide, 2012). The benefits of base pay are that the employee is sure to always have a pay check and paying bills will not be an issue. The disadvantage of base pay is making sure it is equivalent to the amount of work the worker is doing. The benefit of commission is that the pay for a commission job is almost always more than just base pay. The disadvantage is that a pay check is not always guaranteed if you do not sale product (Rumbauskas, 2010). The benefits of overtime pay are having a more flexible workforce...
