I think it’s pretty safe to call it a trend. Pass rates on the HR certification exams have continued to decline, with both the PHR and SPHR exams hitting all-time lows in 2009. Here is what the results look like since 2005: I’m not sure what to make of it. I don’t think human resource professionals are getting dumber. Or studying less. So, why the lower pass rates?

As an educator and advisor to a SHRM student chapter, I am always looking for excellent resources that will help my students prepare for the workplace and their career. With that in mind, "Rock the PHR HR Certification Handbook" is a welcome addition to that pool of resources. Compiled by Ben Eubanks ( UpstartHR.com ) with able assistance from April Dowling ( psuedohr.com ), "Rock the PHR" outlines a 10-week guide to taking the PHR exam, starting with tips to get you started, going through each of the areas the PHR exam covers, and closing with game day suggestions. Author accessibility.

I recently saw the movie "Julie/Julia," and was so inspired I made Julia Child's roast chicken the next day. While I won't go into details, suffice it to say that it was a hit at my house and my family wants me to now make all my meals

I have been working at my place of employment for about a year and half. As of 7/06/09 I was moved to a different department and promoted to supervisor. At the time I was supervising 4 employees. I had to lay one of them off around 7/15 due to being overstaffed. The employee (employee A) was supposed to be let go by my predecessor, but he never carried it out. laid off the employee and needless to say that employee was shocked. found out later that the former employee was going around saying that I fired him because I didn't like him. recently had a day off on 8/5 and returned to work on 8/6.

My problem is more of a math problem, I think. have an employee on salary that has exceeded the number of vacation days he is allowed. How do I deduct his pay for this unpaid vacation time? just can't grasp how to figure this out. He is paid bi-weekly, gets 2 weeks (80 hours/10 days, at least that is how it would be for an hourly employee) paid vacation, is required to work 6 days a week (10-12 hours per day). It's a good thing I took calculus in high school, because it's been extremely helpful in payroll problems. Okay, this is simple division. Multiple ways to go about it.

Today my blog is 3! would make a cake to celebrate but it's supposed to be in the low 30s (see, I've already adjusted to centigrade!) and we have no air conditioning. Therefore, I have no desire to turn on my oven. In honor of the big celebration, I did get a present of a brand new computer. Hopefully this will mean that I can do a better job of deleting the Chinese spam posts, unless of course, you all like those because they are helpful in managing your life.
