What would you do, Paul? [SIZE="4"]Paul?[/SIZE] [SIZE="5"]Paul?[/SIZE] [SIZE="7"][B]PAUL! [/B][/SIZE]

Memo to Ritaanz... DO NOT order Crying Game from NetFlix!

I didn't see it (I'm sure my wife did), but I would speculate thusly: There might be grounds for a sexual harassment suit, but not necessarily a wrongful termination, since the wrongful termination would hinge on Amanda's protected status. Amanda …

I'm a proponent of eliminating conditions or guidelines that do not have any positive purpose. Can anyone provide an example of one positive purpose of an introductory or probationary period that isn't already provided by your state's At Will doctr…

When I think of the best sales people I ever employed, they all probably made more than their managers.
-
In many (most?) states you would still owe them.

We use ADP. It's the most cost-effective source I've seen, with the quickest turnaround. You can pre-configure options, and still add ala carte items on an individual basis if you want. I still have the department or branch manager check employmen…
-
Please clarify... Verification of previous employment?
-
Probationary periods are a relic, especially if you are in an "At Will" state. I've argued for years that they do more harm than good by establishing an arbitrary timeline with no basis in law, and providing a perception that within 90 days, you don…

It's not a big deal, Sharon. Oh, maybe it was until K-State lost, but it's no longer a big deal.

Existence of a chain of command policy, [B]or[/B] the need to develop one, are both symptoms of cultural issues.

You'll have to log into Facebook to read about my bracket... I don't use that kind of language in the Forum. In fact, I don't use that kind of language on Facebook often... I usually reserve Twitter for that sort of !&%$# talk. ::angryface::

I'll admit, it took a 6 a.m. reminder from my wife, but I was fully St. Paddyfied.

I thought you guys did a great job of updating frequently while providing substance. I'm curious - did you have to sell anyone on the idea of using Facebook, or is your culture already there?

Title IX has a lot more in it than just parity for school athletics, but it tends to get blamed a lot by lazy or disingenuous school administrators who can't look kids in the eyes and tell them the truth about why they're cutting teams or budgets. …

Joke of the day, Dutch! I've retold it several times already!

We just had a freak snowstorm dump 4 inches of snow immediately before and during the morning rush hour today. Thursday it's supposed to be 70+ degrees. I blame Paul's tsunami for all this.
-
Most of us would require that IF the leave was for the employee's health condition. But most employers who do not allow employees to use sick time for family members would NOT allow an employee to burn sick time while on FML for a family member. I…

Working for Paul is probably a lot like being in a Dan Brown novel. Without the hot chick scientists, of course.

Does stretching across the table for another donut count?

You know it's a classic when it has its own Wikipedia entry. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slowly_I_Turned[/url]

I consider it an involuntary termination unless the person follows up by telling me they intended to quit. To be honest, it just looks better in my turnover stats.

I didn't even bother to apply. Charlie wouldn't dare hire someone with more tigerblood than he has. That drug he's on? Charlie Sheen? That's just a gateway drug to ACU Frank.

I was just hoping Tony isn't the "Half".

I did explain that no employer could ever legally hire her without a SSN or taxpayer ID, but she insisted it was her right to refuse. I'm guessing she provided that info to the unemployment office when she picked up her check, though.
-
To clarify, Sonny... You allow use of sick time to care for family members?
-
We would NOT allow the employee to use sick time in this situation. We only allow sick time to be used if the employee is sick. We would require the employee to use all accrued vacation during the leave.
-
Is there someone on second shift that would want to trade with her? I've never had a problem with that - it's always been when the person on second or third wanted to be on first shift.
-
I wish I had some good suggestions for you, because that would mean we've figured it out here!
-
I've had plenty of employees who fell asleep at work, but the key factor here is Criddle's comment "Besides this problem, job performance is fine." Anyone I've had who couldn't stay awake had other performance issues as well, which was probably a b…
