As in any profession, HR people like to trade stories of the crazy things they've seen. This week I heard one that's immediately gone to my top 10 list.
An employee turned in a request to add his newborn son to his insurance at work. Shortly thereafter, the benefits administrator received another request to add the child, but the birth date was slightly different. She requested documentation to see which date was correct. It turned out both were. The man had sons born to two different women less than a month apart, and both kids were given the same name.
HR is seldom a boring gig, and it certainly has its entertaining moments.
