As another respondent said: "seniority is but one quiver" in determining any illegalities of a decision. Your statement/question doesn't state how many total years experience both the newly named manager and assistant managers have, nor does it st…

None that I'm aware of, as long as the FLSA standards are upheld, flex-schedules are fine. Governmental or emergency (fire, police, hospital) organizations may have some, however, so if you fall under those categories, you may want to check with …

Sounds as though someone's trying to get you to do something you shouldn't! Whether or not your company offers flex-time, overtime is supposed to be figured the same way in any non-governmental company: anything over 40 hours in a workweek as desc…

You have to pay, and if the people go into overtime for their workweek, you'll have to pay the upcharge. The meeting's mandatory, so it's considered work even though nothing tangible may be produced. Don't forget that FLSA also requires break pe…

My understanding is that only the classifications were being updated, not the comp-time issues. Check the dol.gov site.

Hi Rockie - I've read through a few of the responses, and wanted to let you know that while there is actually a restriction on how you pay exempt vs. non-exempt positions. Using the short or long tests available through the federal Dpt. of Labor, y…

Unless you can come up with a reason that would show how open-toed shoes, with or without stockings, would put the employees or patients at risk for injury or some health issue, I'd recommend revising the policy. Medical "clogs" are available, an…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-29-02 AT 09:36AM (CST)[/font][p]While it may be true that the AH Dictionary uses an "S", the department name is a descriptor, as in "For what type of resource is this department responsible?". Those …

Depends on the position and the person, as well as the type(s) of skills testing you've given and how well the people scored. There's a great myth about the value of experience. Twenty-something years ago, one of my college professors told me th…

LORD GOD, NEVER have HR report to a CFO! This rarely, if ever, works, because the CFO is hard result, hard dollar, black & white oriented. If your company wants to hold up any and all improvements in performance management, employee/managemen…

Actually, within the first 90 days of employment an employer doesn't have to give a reason to terminate someone. This may vary state to state, but the best source to find your answer is your state's Unemployment Compensation office.

The laws are tricky here: the employees being harassed & harassing do not work for you, but they are tenants in your building. Since you have been contacted by one who is being harassed, you now need to contact the HRD or owner of the fitness…

Thank heavens I'm not the only old schooler.

As a consultant who teaches effective communication techniques, I am APPALLED at these types of retreats. As a former human resource executive in the corporate world, my board members were constantly suggesting such "bonding" retreats. I don't b…

LOL!

Do you think this type of problem is becoming more pervasive now that more business is done over the phone?

Thank you for the link, and I agree about contacting counsel.

What do you do with a manager who refuses to hire qualified candidates of a certain ethnic group, e.g. asian or african-american, but is overtly discreet about it?
-
Thank you for responding so quickly!
-
Thanks for the clarification!
-
Thank you for your quick feedback. When you say "tester", are you talking about a tester for EEOC, AAP or unions?

I hope this doesn't reach you too late. I have been in your exact position with an engineering firm. My first month, I was sent around the state to terminate employees. 1. Warn all parties involved in the termination abouth the possible ramificat…
