HR Bartender
JUNE 3, 2016
The reason I named this blog HR Bartender was because, as an HR professional, I always thought people wanted me to act like a bartender – listen, support and offer a suggestion when appropriate. One of the other things bartenders do is mix drinks – meaning they take a variety of ingredients and put them together to create something tasty. HR professionals do the same thing with strategy.

By Derek Irvine. Recognize This! – Companies can create cultures that encourage meaningfulness through the impact that social recognition can have. One of the more powerful ways to make the workplace more human is through establishing meaning and purpose. For many HR and business leaders, that task can seem abstract and challenging to achieve.

To see what happens when people don’t work together, look no further than Washington, D.C. Instead of pooling their talents for a common goal and the common good, Congress is mired in gridlock, recrimination and petty squabbles. And nothing is getting done. Sound like your workplace? I hope not, because if your company is as dysfunctional as D.C., Chapter 11 can’t be far behind.

Many managers dread having those “difficult conversations” with employees because, well, they’re difficult. Here’s some advice that could help them navigate these unfamiliar waters. Of course, every situation is different, and every conversation will be a little bit different. Still, by sticking with some do’s and don’ts, managers can control the conversation and achieve their objective — a substantial change in an employee’s performance or behavior.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

That means that when you manage a team, you are responsible for the lives of your employees.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recently released a new rule that requires anyone who makes less than $47,476 annually to receive overtime pay.

We have many people much more qualified than I to discuss the impact of the new rule.

The common law principle governing unclaimed property is called “escheat.” Under English common law, it was a rule that returned or surrendered property to a lord or to the Crown if no lawful heir could inherit it. The concept of escheatment and abandoned property doesn’t naturally come to mind when dealing with payroll operations. By definition, though, payroll can have unclaimed and abandoned property. .
