  • I would have a much harder time trying to explain to my child why it would be alright for a man to rip a woman’s clothing exposing and violating her personal space and privacy than what a naked breast is. Breasts are not dirty, they are not disgusti…
  • Don, your dedication to this forum is above and beyond the call of duty! x:D Johnette
  • ... someone mentions they are going to the doctor because they are not feeling well and you immediately starting thinking, "FMLA, ADA..." Johnette
  • May I please have a copy as well? [email]johnette@deangelospizzeria.com[/email] or fax at 225-756-0094. Thank you!!!

  • Thank you, Don! That was what I thought but I just couldn't find anything to back me up! Johnette [link:www.hrhero.com/cgi-bin/employersforum/employersforum.cgi?az=email_user&userid=Squishypig|"I'm in the weeds!" E-mail me if you are in the re…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-08-02 AT 10:45AM (CST)[/font][p]Well we do not have a policy that specifies that if you are any type of leave, that it will not count for service. I was basing my decision on the following found in th…
  • We did what mwild suggested except our job line voice box doesn't have the option to leave a message. I change the message every Friday and it has really saved me a lot of time because now, people can check what we have open and how they need to app…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-28-04 AT 02:31PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Hi Turbo, We had an incident not too long ago that the employee demanded to have a copy of her termination paper. In Louisiana, a terminated employee does not hav…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-05-04 AT 08:51AM (CST)[/font][br][br]At our company parties, we card at the door and give disposable Tyvek bracelets to people 21 and over (of course we place them on their wrists). We then tell the b…
  • Our hourly employees get a $10.00 meal at our restaurants at the location they work for. For our managers and corporate staff, a birthday card is sent around the office and they get a $50.00 check. We also have a montly birthday party. Funny you sh…
  • Pork, Believe it or not I agree with your position. HR should be there to help the employees. I bend over backwards for my employees all the time, and lord knows that is why I am so far behind on my work. And also because I bend over backwards all…
  • Oh, I absolutely agree. I generally tell the parents that their children have to make the request and I try to deal with the children as much as possible. But since my workforce is young (average age is 19), parents call quite often and I take the b…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-03-03 AT 11:04AM (CST)[/font][p]So what is your typical turnaround on fulfilling these requests? The employees get so mad when I say 48 hours which I think is very reasonable. Johnette [link:www.hrhe…
  • Original poster here with some more info. First off, the drugs were found in one of our restaurants. While the manager is pretty confident that it might have belonged to an employee, he is not 100% sure although our general managers have an idea wh…
  • The manager on duty flushed the pot. On one hand, I might have turned it in (we have off duty deputies who moonlight with us every night) but then on the other hand, it was probably one of our young employees who made a stupid decision to bring it i…
  • You know Rockie, I did that about 5 months ago. I asked for the supervisor and asked him (nicely) to stop calling because it was disrupting our work. The supervisor said that it didn't matter since it didn't concern me. When I told him that it did c…
  • Thank you for all the kind ideas and empathy! My week is getting much better, when I posted this I think it was just a combination of personal life and work stresses colliding into one another. So I was not in the best place when I vented here, to c…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-21-03 AT 10:40AM (CST)[/font][p]First off, I don't think I would necessarily utlilize the progressive discipline right off the bat. Is she really doing anything "wrong" besides being an an ineffective…

  • I'll be honest with you, we have never dealt with this before and the new franchise is in Alabama (corporate is in Louisiana) so the owners have been doing things on their own. I finally got in touch with my contact over there and she said that sh…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-04-02 AT 10:27AM (CST)[/font][p]This is my all time favorite quote and I apply it not only to my personal life but my professional one as well. "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intell…

  • Well, I work for the corporate office of a local restaurant chain and when I posed the question to our back of house general manager, he responded by putting up his own arms which are scar free. And he has been in the industry for years, the last 4 …
  • Valid concerns, Don. I have a genuine interest in improving this company, leaving it better than when I came here. They have been wonderful to me and have given me a wonderful opportunity. The only reason why I say that I am leaving in a few months…
  • We are a chain of restaraunts with about 250 hourly employees. Our evaluation schedule is a little weird. Unless you have a handle on it (no one bothered to tell me the schedule and it took me 3 months to get it straightened out) it can be extremely…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-28-02 AT 08:47AM (CST)[/font][p]Keep in mind that even though you may employ minors at 16, there are certain occupations that they are not allowed to have, mostly with machinery and whatnot. Also, if …
  • Thanks Don! Actually he makes the food and produce deliveries from our commissary to the resturants. I appreciate the time for you to answer, I am a newbie and sometimes I question myself on if I said or did the right thing when it comes to HR. Jo…
  • Does he *have* to administer it during work hours? Could he do it before or after work? I guess I would speak with the employee and find out more information about it. Has he admistered the drugs to himself before? What safety precautions will he …
  • I file my resumes and applications in a folder by month and then in subfolders by position. Using my system I am able to purge at the end of every month keeping only 12 months worth on file, yet I am still able to retrieve resumes and applications b…
