Curious as to what companies give as gifts to retiring employees? How much do you spend?

Human Resources Ethics Code

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 04:56:03 -0400

I have to write a separate ethics policy for the HR function in our organization. If any of you have an ethics or conduct code specifically for HR, would you be willing to share it with me?

Your welcome. You just need to establish a good system for tracking the mentoring hours vs other work hours. Also need the department supervisors to keep up with when the bonuses are due to be paid.

We pay our mentors an additional 25 cents an hours while they are actively mentoring a new employee. In addition, upon the new employee's completions of his/her introductory perios (90 days), the mentor gets a bonus of $100; at the new employee's 6-month anniversary, the mentor receives an additional $200.

Do any of you pay a subsidy to employees who are selected to be mentors/trainers to new hires? If so what have you found to be an appropriate amount? B) :unsure:

We only go back 7 years and attempt to get 3 references.

We check three to four references and they are whomever the candidate gives us. We generally prefer getting references from more recent employers rather than from someone the person worked with 10 years ago.

Whenn checking references, how far back in a candidate's work hsitory do you go? I have heard 10 years but don't know if employers are still going back that far.
