  • Thanks TXHRGuy. We have done that and we are waiting for an answer. I was hoping that others already had some questions they use to get information.  
  • What kind of information was the mother looking for? I personally don't think you should be giving out any information. I have a 17 year old son. I called his work one day to see if he was working and they said that they could not give out that info…
  • You are concerned that maintaining the laborers on "temporary" status for 1 full year before benefits eligibility while everyone else is eligible after 6 months is unethical? In the state of Washington Microsoft was sued years ago for keeping employ…
  • Does your company have a written policy about employees who admit to drug use? Ours states: "the driver admits to use but requests assistance, the alcohol and drug program administrator will supply the employee with information regarding an appropr…
  • I agree with IT HR. Talk to your employees. you need to know what is going on and why your employees are posting their resumes. Some may just be doing it to find out they are still wanted by other companies and have no real desire to leave. maybe th…

  • My ? is why do DOT applications ask for age. Is there something in DOT regulations that require us to ask?
  • Thanks, I went back to the original post and saw that she was asked pre-hire. I need new glasses I guess.
  • I don't think there is anything illegal with asking an employee about their birth date. Companies ask for it when we fill out I-9's, benefit packages (some are age banded), for payroll etc. It is only illegal to use that information to discriminate …
  • One of my employees has been sick for several days. He went to the MD. The MD told him to call us and have us hold a meeting with all employees to tell them that the employee had (I think) type A influenza but no firm diagnosis of N1H1. We held the …

  • I have always used a form that needs to be signed by the doctor for "return to work". This has been to make sure the employee is not returning to work before they should for their protection.
