The FMLA act was put into effect in Aug 1993. State Farm had company policies in place since that date, up until June of 1999. These policies for both the employees and the management guide were found to favor the company in many ways and were out of compliance with both Federal and State Law. If you were an employee during this time, your rights were also effected by this violation. I know this because I am the one who asked off to be with my newborn and had my rights violated by management and human resources. You have a company directory, ask Kevin Reeves, Martin McNair, James Wright, Curtis Martin, Nancy Mitchell, or even Max Stallings. Hey, look in the comapany manual. The written (1996) has the bad info, the on-line version has the info that was changed after my complaints to the US Department Of Labor.

Accident Proofing Farms and Stables Marjorie R. Margentino , and Karyn Malinowski, Ph.D. Rutgers Cooperative Extension Accident-proofing your farm is one of the most important tasks you will ever do. It takes a lot of time, effort and planning to ensure that family, employees and visitors will be less likely to be injured or killed because of the safety measures practiced. Orientate visitors on what to expect on the farm, and do not leave visitors unsupervised. Unfortunately, no matter how well you and all those directly involved in farm operations prepare, train and follow safe farm operation procedures, the farm owner or manager always runs the risk of unwanted visitors. There are numerous reasons, legal and illegal, as to why people wander onto farmland. Most people trespass for recreational or non-farming purposes such as; hunting, fishing, swimming and picnicking; all of which usually take place without permission of farm management. It is in the best interest of farm management to dissuade unwanted visitors. Unwanted visitors are a liability. This fact sheet will provide farm owners and managers with information and ideas that will help management identify and eliminate attractive nuisances and also help lessen the chance of unwanted visitors becoming injured on your farm.

Allow employees to finish some tasks from the beginning to the end major changes, such as buying a neighboring farm or new equipment; http://www.farmcreditusa.com/firstpioneer/notebook/L3/eecommunications.htm

Avoiding common management mistakes Improving communication can turn employee problems around If you think you are doing a lot right as an employer, but you just can’t seem to keep your employees happy, look to see if you’re making one or more common communication mistakes. Correcting them just might turn your employee problems around. Research tells us that 95 percent of the time lack of communication is the top reason why businesses have high employee turnover or other employee problems, such as low productivity. That’s 95 percent of the time! As in all facets of life, effective communication in business — including agricultural businesses — is a key ingredient of success. Good communication can help you relate to your employees, integrate them as members of a cohesive team and help you effectively define job responsibilities. In short, it can help you build a productive work environment, where good employees are more likely to stay long term. This article offers helpful tips to get employers and employees talking regularly and effectively. We think that if you try these ideas, you’ll find that nothing is as effective as face-to-face communication.

ARCHIVES PROFIT TIPS Employee Management Taken from Pork Employment Management June 05, 2002 Four Steps to Improve the Hiring Process Who couldn't use help in the area of hiring employees? Here are four steps that Howard Hill, veterinarian and chief operating officer with Iowa Select Farms, says can help you hire and retain quality employees. STEP 1 Take actions to improve the efficiency of your human resources department. If that's you, then take note. STEP 2 Utilize employees with pork production experience in the human resources department and /or the hiring process. These individuals have a better understanding of the skills and talents needed to work in the operation. Such persons are often very adept at sorting through applicants. STEP 3 Implement a program that requires those involved in the hiring process to observe a different farm, production stage and /or job each week. This should allow them to better match the skills and talents of an applicant with a particular unit or job. Hill also advises giving job candidates a tour of the area where they may work. This allows the manager and other workers an opportunity to meet and evaluate the candidate's potential fit.
