Hello everyone ! Is earned leave encashment a standard policy or a case to case basis in your company? There is a proposal from the founder of my company to only do it if they are serving full notice n they would want to adjust the leave balance. In case they are serving less notice, we should not do. I am in delimma and confused.

Wanted to connect with a few HRBPs of product based companies. Please DM

set the channel topic: Community-wide announcements from your moderators. Only admins can post in this channel

Hello everyone! Here are all the current channels on this Slack community. Always check channel descriptions, pinned messages before posting. Never post the same thing in multiple channels. Use Slack search to find previous conversation threads 🙌 🙏 #announcements - This is the one channel that will always include everyone. You’ll see Community-wide announcements here and only admins can post in this channel #introduce-yourself - For member intros, if you haven’t introduced yourself yet, go ahead and do it in this sample structure: - Intro - What brings me to The Shape of Work community - What can I help with - What I need help on - Here’s a fun thing about me #general-qna-forum - If you have any questions/asks/requests, post them in the #general-qna-forum channel. That’s also a great time to engage in another discussion thread and share your knowledge with other members. Here’s How to ask good Questions #employee-experience - Discuss everything and anything employee employer branding and candidate experience in this channel #hr-job-listings - just as the name suggests, BUT only for HR-focused job listings. Everything else goes to #random Check the format of job postings in pinned message on the channel before posting #compensation-and-benefits - to discuss salaries, perks, and other employee benefits #tsow-anonymous - here you can send your messages (rants, issues or whatever) without revealing your name. To use the anonymous mode, check the pinned post in the channel #shameless-plug - ONLY and ONLY channel for self-promotions. Any self-promotional post will be deleted if posted in any other channel #random - This channel is for... well, everything else. It’s a place for team jokes, spur-of-the-moment ideas and funny GIFs AND anything that doesn’t fit elsewhere in other channels (except self-promotional posts) <!channel>

The Shape of Work (TSOW) Community Rules - Please read before posting

TSOW is a collaborative community, intended to provide a resourceful and friendly forum to Human Resources (HR) and People Operations (People Ops) professionals. It is therefore imperative that you, as a member, observe the following rules to uphold the mission/vision of this community. 1. A decent communication protocol must be adhered to. Foul language and use of abusive words/photographs in posts/profiles are STRICTLY prohibited. 2. It’s every member’s responsibility to go through the #announcements channel and the pinned messages on each channel before posting to see the policies for posting/subject topics/formats etc for each of the channels. 3. Do make sure that you provide the relevant references / original sources for every piece of material that has been reproduced from any other website / publication. 4. Strictly NO marketing on any channels (except #shameless-plug) for your products/services. Also, no third parties are permitted to make any commercial offers to members, via Direct Messaging (DM). Any sort of self-promotional post can ONLY be posted in #shameless-plug. Also, if we see a certain member only/frequently/consistently using the TSOW community to promote their wares, and not participating in conversations, adding any value - we’ll permanently ban them from the community. 5a. Spamming is considered as a very serious offense on TSOW. It includes one-line replies which have no relevance or do not contribute to the thread in any way. Posting the same post in multiple channels is also considered spam. It’s the member’s prerogative to go through the list of channels and find the right/most relevant channel to post their query in. If you can’t find a relevant channel/or you have a non-HR-related query, use the #random channel. 5b. Back-to-Back Whatsapp-style (one line at a time, multiple hard enter↵) posting is a nuisance and should be avoided. To add more content to your post, click the EDIT button using the 3 dots on right-hand corner of the post. Making use of the ‘Reply in thread’ functionality is mandatory when replying to a post/query. 6. No personal attacks on any member will be entertained. This includes any direct / indirect attempt at trolling. Any discriminating or derogatory comment will be dealt with severely. 7. Please use the Slack search feature before posting on topics that have already been discussed extensively before. Repeat threads are discouraged. 8. Sensitive discussions involving politics or religion are to be avoided, due to their highly subjective nature, which can lead to volatile and inconclusive debates. The community exists for the benefit of Human Resources and People Operations professionals. Nonobservance of the above-mentioned rules will lead to an immediate deletion of the concerned post with/without any notification to the concerned member. Repeated offenses will lead to the member being permanently banned from TSOW. We, the TSOW mods, work very hard in maintaining the quality of this community and would respect the same from your end. Thanks for your co-operation 🙏🏽

Please note: You don’t need to notify everyone for your Albus use. You can use Albus in a Direct Message as well. That way we can avoid notifying everyone in the community for all individual queries to Albus Watch this short video on how you can use Albus in a DM - https://www.loom.com/share/f24ab98a9b44427f8401f515849f8385

We have started removing the member accounts that use this community only for their own benefit by repeatedly flouting community policy and spamming the community for their own benefit. The community is a give-and-take, so anyone found repeatedly using it only for their own benefit and NOT participating in conversations will be removed. Please request everyone to go through the community guidelines, posted earlier: https://theshapeofwork.slack.com/archives/C02U3M4GE4W/p1684397109042559?thread_ts=1684397109.042559&amp;cid=C02U3M4GE4W It takes a lot of effort for us at Springworks (and all the active, helpful members) to make this community valuable. Freeloaders make a mockery of our efforts and it'd be unjustified to let them continue to have access to the community for these reasons. Of course, we take member inactivations very seriously and only after repeated violations take this action 🙏🏽

Please note: You don’t need to notify everyone for your Albus use. You can use Albus in a Direct Message as well. That way we can avoid notifying everyone in the community for all individual queries to Albus Watch this short video on how you can use Albus in a DM - https://www.loom.com/share/f24ab98a9b44427f8401f515849f8385 <!channel> We can only remind/announce this so many times.

We'll start deactivating accounts that use the company name/org name/brand name as (or even in part of) their profile name in Slack. This is a community where we encourage transparency and knowing each other's names is a basic hygiene. Plus, using anything other than your name constitutes as self-promotion, hence against the community guidelines and policy. We'll start deactivating the accounts using any kind of brand name from June 8th. We're allowing 8 days for these particular accounts to make the change, post which our community admins will start booting them out of the group 🙏🏽 Cc: @priya bhatt @[TSOW] Nisha Kumari
