  • "what's the worst that could happen?"????? You've got to be kidding me! and this guy is SECURITY??? Ouch! I almost went over, but my husband was too worried about security problems. Now I see why!
  • Margaret: May I have a copy too. Thanks. fax: 406-265-3638.
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-18-08 AT 03:22PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Thanks Joannie. I reviewed 29CFR 553.30. I guess my real question is: do you think a detention officer and a law enforcement officer (deputy sheriff) are "a dif…
  • Yes. I was basically asking about opinions on the across the board RIF. It's only going to be about 25-30 employees, but she believes it will be enough of a savings to make the difference. And it is a slow time so it makes sense on many levels.…
  • You hit the nail on the head with the moral issue. I anticipate everyone will quit, but apparently the department head doesn't. I guess that's her call. It looks like it will permanent. Unless things miraculously change but we're govt and I don'…
  • I just advised my bosses to pay him. Everything I have read is clear. In the meantime, I requested a Unit Clarification petition from our state personnel office. Thanks for all your help.
  • This is the only exempt employee under the contract. All others are specifically excluded as supervisors. We have never paid him overtime before, but then I don't believe he has ever made a claim for overtime before. The mgmt clause says that we …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-28-04 AT 07:13PM (CST)[/font][br][br]What is there is no recognition clause or anything else that differentiates between positions? I just found the recognition clause and it says that he is included…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-25-03 AT 12:47PM (CST)[/font][p]So I get the pay, but what about meals? Our statute says that an employee is eligible for an evening meal allowance if the employee is in travel status for more than 3…
  • He's been on meds and hopes to get it worked out, but my dept head is growing impatient. He really needs someone in the field. I think it pisses him off that the guy is driving around on weekends too.(private vehicles)
  • Thank you very much.
  • Thanks for all of your input. We just can't determine whether it is a disability with what we have. So I have decided to write a letter to the employee about it not being ADA at this time but that we need more info. I have a letter for the treati…
  • Update: Thank you for all who replied. The doctor said last week that he is permanently disabled and cannot perform the essential functions of his job. He quit that day. I think I may avoided the triangle just by stumbling through. ARGH! [xpray]
  • There was recently a federal court case (9th circuit) where the employer required nurses to receive flu shots, and they found that was an issue that affected their conditions of employment and had to be bargained for; so for all other reading this, …
  • Lots of great ideas to think about. Thanks everybody. Basically, our leaders want the policy b/c we want to encourage retention and reward the people who are willing to stick it out with us over the years. When an employee starts out, we aren't a…
  • What if your company gave credit on your pay scale for years with your company and you have two current employees who want the same job - both are equally qualified. But you would have to pay one $7 hr (b/c of his years with the co), and the other …
  • But what about not hiring someone b/c you would have to pay them $10/hr, and instead choosing the person who you only have to pay $6/hr (assuming based on all other factors that the 1st person ($10) would have been the hiring committee's first pick)…
  • I agree. I have advised a meeting and to immediately terminate if he is involved in any way, shape or form.
  • I have since learned that he is on some state board that is going to be looking at whether to create a union for this particular type of workers across the state. However, I am also informed that he has been very vocal in being pro-union and is one…
  • Believe me, I want to. I just don't know if I'm walking a fine line. Technically, I suppose he could form his own labor unit since he's an employee, or so I've been told. So I think I need to get more clarification in terms of why he's heading to …
  • DOT policies are very state specific. I would send you ours, but it's pointless because it isn't based on your state law. You need to find one from your state (is that Tennessee). Contact your state DOT department (or look on their website) becau…
  • Shoot. Oh well. Thanks for the info. I wonder why people are always so concerned about putting that catch-all at the bottom of the list (reserve the right to open other topics as necessary)?
  • Thank you for the advise. I'll look into the "permanent" issue as well.
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-14-04 AT 02:31PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I could not agree with ALL of you more on the crappy language. AND letting THEM set it! SHEESH! Needless to say, it was WAY before my time. Here's the exact la…
  • I was hoping to rely on the mgmt clause too. But the language give us all the rights to direct, transfer, schedule, etc. And then at the bottom says, "Such rights are retained by the Employer unless such rights are specifically relinquished in thi…
  • Our policy, like yours, says the best way to address harassment is to tell the person that the conduct is offensive.
  • It was substantiated, and handled, but it was "handled" by a "sincere apology" to her from him. Which is apparently all she wanted. It is a small group with a 12-13 year history which aggravates the situation. We are having a "meeting" with her o…
  • Our laws just saw that we have to bargain in good faith. But we have always deemed our negotiations confidential UNTIL a contract is signed. Then the contract itself would be available for public review (upon request). But our city (we are county…
  • Wow, I am so naive! We are in the public sector. I just can't believe the union can represent both parties! How is that ethical? How can the same company/unit be true to both sides of a dispute?!! That has been my whole argument that when it co…
  • Thanks for all the help everybody. You're lifesavers! [xclap]
