  • My comment to her would be ¿no contando mañana, desde cuándo ha trabajado usted aquí?
  • Wayyyyyyy too much discussion on this one. Fire the employee immediately. Don't look back and don't second guess yourself. Too many good people out there looking for work to put up with someone like this.
  • Don, that last call may have been from my ex-wife...
  • Don, just remember that New Orleans is just like Vegas. Like the saying goes: "What happens in New Orleans........usually haunts you for the rest of your life".

  • Call me overly cautious but there's a chance you may hear from this person again. She could be interested in filing some form of charge and the call was her attempting to set the stage. Suggest you document to the best of your memory, every word she…
  • I've always allowed access but looked for ways to do it in a less embarrassing manner. One way is to provide the officer information on the employees start time, vehicle desciption etc. and have them intercept him/her in the parking lot. I know th…
  • Don...thanks for the welcome, I've enjoyed the debate. I find it an interesting fact that two who have a combined 65 years of experience can have a completely different approach to this basic issue. Perhaps that's why for many, this field is the mos…
  • Carrie, there are clearly lots of different views on this issue and I guess that's no surprise to me. Policies reflect the culture of the company and like people, each company is different. I support the right of each company to adopt the culture …
  • U.S. Steel Corp.,41 LA 469 - Arbiter determines that an employees otherwise spotless 37 years of service is reason to reinstate employee after being absent due to incarceration. I could cite a few hundred, thousand, etc other cases where arbiters h…
  • Usually I try to stay out of these arguments but what the hell, it's Friday. I recognize the value of Don's position regarding potential litigation risk by treating people different. But frankly, there is a risk of litigation every time we walk in t…
  • Hi Don. No ramifications whatsoever, simply cover annual tests through the benefits plan. As for your second thought, sky diving probably doesn't occur in most work places but if one breaks their leg over the weekend doing it, I suspect the medical …
  • Carrie...how many employees are there in the workplace? If you can bear the cost, one way to address this situation would be to offer to pay for HIV tests for all employees and simply be silent as to the reason.
  • I think it's a mistake to focus only on smoke breaks, it's really an issue of whether or not employees are spending the right amount of productive time while at work. Those that take too many coffee breaks are just as nonproductive as those that ta…
  • Your post indicates that the CEO has "done all sorts of illegal things" , "against HR policies". I would suggest you write down everything that has happened. Then go through an analysis of whether it's truely illegal or just boorish behavior. If it'…
  • Don is correct. However the real solution to this issue is called an RD Petition.
  • I'd fire him immediately since his comment has resulted in so much nonproductive time across this nation
  • Irrespective of whether or not it is legal in your state, FORCING employees to utilize vacation during an employer mandated shutdown is a horrible employee relations decision. How do you explain it to a production worker who has saved for 2 years to…
  • Under normal circumstances you have the right to deny access to your facility to union organizers. However...... if you have a practice of opening up you facility to other types of solicitations (tool venders, banks, local organizations etc.etc.etc.…
