Salary Verification Requirements
Let me get this straight : You expect me to trust that you will provide a great work environment and the training I need and generally live up to what you promised me at the interview, but you don't trust me to faithfully report what I earned last year? Employees who demand proof of past earnings (in the form of last year's W-2) should hire the second-rate employees they
deserve, not folks like you.
'Stitch-level' Dress Code Policies
Every employee should be made aware that your company expects professional attire in the workplace. No argument there. But overly detailed dress-code policies that delve into fashion terms (peplums and flounces)are an insult to intelligent adults. HR people should stay out of our closets and hire
only people who wouldn't dream of dressing inappropriately for work.
Outsourced Employee Relations
Outsourcing saves money, so I can't get too worked up when a company outsources dental plan administration, for example. But too many employers have outsourced employee relations so that when you have a problem with your manager, you have to call 1-800-I-Have-A-Problem-With-My-Manager.
Employee relations is an on-site function, whether it's a part-time assignment of the boss's assistant (properly trained) or the responsibility of a roving HR rep. Nothing good can come of doing otherwise.
