Fair Labor Practice means you're fair and consistent with employees. You must ensure you are not giving preferential treatment to any employees, however, after reading your message, it seems to me as though you are similar to a staffing agency. Yo…

Have you considered a time clock system? We currently do a sign in/sign out method, but have had employees fudge times, and it's hard to manage, so we're contemplating establishing time clocks.

Actually, that's the idea that we're currently tossing around. The only potential problem with that idea is the new federal regulations that require the bus routes with pre-school children to be one hour or less. The fear is that if we had 2 extra…

We couldn't afford to have bus drivers as well. The government keeps cutting back on the funding, and the only way the program works is to have the TAs drive.

Well, for one we're unionized, and to change job descriptions it would be a hassle with the union. Secondly, it's the design of the program based on our federal regulations and what has worked best by past practice. All Head Start facilities na…

Thank you for the feedback. My fear is also of the worst case scenario, "What if we put her back to work, and to prove her point that she has pain and numbness, she runs a stop sign and seriously hurts or injures someone." That puts us financially…

Apparently he came up with one accommodation, I haven't heard what you came up with as a potential accommodation for the employee. You do not have to transport him from his vehicle to the office, but there must be some other type of accommodation t…

To all: I have been in Human Resources for over 5 years now, but have never worked before in a company that has annual lay-offs. They had never before had an HR person prior to hiring me about 4 months ago - so this company has always treated thes…

I work with in HR for an agency that has Head Start Teachers and Teacher Assistants, and we strongly discourage any socialization outside of work time with the parents of the program. Our fear is that they would get too close to the parents and the…

Our attorney has told us repeatedly, that while we'd like to adhere strictly to the deadlines, most arbitrators don't care about missing the deadline, especially if it's over a couple of days. Our attorney told us always to have a strong enough cas…

Glad you posted that. I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree and the PHR. I was considering as my next step a J.D. I get sooo frustrated when my boss won't take my word on how we should proceed on certain issues. It's as if my education and ye…

I would love to take the survey as well as receive a copy of the results. What do I need to do to take part in this survey and get the results? Melanie Rittenour HR Director Northwestern Ohio Community Action [email]hrdirect@nocac.org[/email]

Yes, our exempt employees are required to clock in and out. I just don't think that if they happen to miss one punch in the day, they should be required to fill out another form. We know that we are required to pay them 8 hours anyway, and they fi…

I started my career straight out of college as a Recruiter for a Staffing Firm. After spending a couple years there, I entered a new company and started as an HR Assistant. I spent a year in that position and then moved up into the HR Coordinator …

I worked for a company about two years ago, and we got audited by the DOL, Wage and Hour Division, because some employees had anonymously sent in letters to the DOL stating they had gotten an automatic 1/2 hr deducted and they said they hadn't taken…

My previous company had the six month transfer policy as well, but I would recommend only a 90 day transfer policy. It was very hard telling an employee they couldn't have a job you knew they were perfect for, just because six months from their dat…

Why did the unemployment office approve her UC? Anytime an employee voluntarily quits, they forfeit their eligibility for UC benefits. I would find out the specifics of what the unemployment office lists as reasons for approving the claim. Find o…

My experience with I.T./I.S. having access to confidential computer files has not created much of a burden, no leaked confidentiality with my experience. No, we did not have the IT department sign confidentiality agreements, but in their job descri…
