The last time I crossed over to Windsor the border guard asked me the nature of my visit. I told him I had a craving for Canadian food. He was far less amused than I was.

When I first heard this, I thought it was related to April Fool's Day. Unfortunately, I think the country is numb to these shenanigans.

Hurting. The best advice career coaches can give about interviewing involves how to: 1. Get the interview 2. Prepare for the interview (from grooming to researching the company) 3. Feel relaxed and appear confident 4. Listen 5. Avoid saying somethi…

This might be one of the few regs (or even the only one) that by its nature separates the "asking" from the "acting". It's generally regarded as dangerous to ask how old someone is because you might be accused of acting on it, for example. But how…

I was afraid if you kept it up much longer I'd have to buy a bigger bumper. **==

Great observation, Paul.

I'm normally not a big Jack Welch fan, but I finally read this blog post and it may be the best thing he's ever written.

What's funny is that the mandate was the part pushed by Republicans. In fact, it was at the center of their opposition to "Hillarycare" in the '90s. Another issue is the lack of substantial tort reform. On that point, I agree with the Republicans.…

I ran across a resume the other day, and sent the person an e-mail asking her to complete our online application. Then I looked at her Facebook page. I'm glad she didn't apply. It would have been awkward, because after seeing the Facebook page …

I relate this to the claim that lots of employers get sued by ex-employees for responding to reference checks with more than name, position, and date of hire. It ranks somewhere between isolated and urban legend.

The level of incompetence our elected officials share when it comes to technology should not be surprising. However, I expect their paid staffers and interns to be savvy enough to help prevent this stuff from wasting everyone's time.

Pay them for that time. It's the right thing to do, it might keep you out of court, and it establishes a code of fairness and trust with your new employee.

All our apps are through an on-line aggregator, so I have the digital versions for years.

One of the most awkward things you can ever do is try to "retro" an FMLA because things didn't proceed the way you expected. The employee may have plenty of sick time, or they may tell you they don't want or need FMLA, or you may expect the absence…

Ours would be B and D as well.

I didn't see my choice listed... "We prohibit betting pools at work and I participate."

I haven't had any in several years, but I went through a stretch where I had one helicopter parent incident every few months for about two years. The youngest of the 'children' was 19-20, the oldest was 36.

I just go to DOL's website and use their fillable forms. They're easy to use, and they're always the most current.

Sharon, dancing at work is NEVER the worst option.

I've worked with both, and for the most part they work equally as well. What doesn't work as well are published salary ranges that are frequently ignored, subject to mass exception, etc. This also creates a secondary problem - a system that gets a…

Dumbest "accommodation" ever. EVER.

I would assume [url]www.spankpeople.com[/url] is already in use.

As I tell our absolutely over-the-top feline fancier here... I love cats - but I can't eat a whole one.

Tricia - If you are at a credit union, you can get a good starter JD from CUNA or CUES. If you are at a bank, move to a credit union and you can get a good starter JD from CUNA or CUES.

Playing devil's advocate... If you were paying her $19.80 an hour then, why wouldn't she at least be making $19.80 an hour for those CNA stints now? What kind of pay cuts are your other CNAs taking?
-
I dunno... they seem pretty okay with calling her stupid too.
-
Cheryl - Leaving your current job is no excuse for leaving us. We can expect to see you here even more often now, because you have extra time, right?
-
Has the arrest resulted in attendance issues? That might be one approach. One other thing to think about, though... What would you do if the employee was fired and subsequently acquitted?
-
I remember the good ol' days when I didn't have to hire smokers. Well, I guess technically I still don't have to, but I can't get caught now.

Do you currently partner with an EAP? If so, your EAP probably has some good ideas on how you can effectively and legally influence your employees' health and lifestyle choices. If you don't have an EAP, your insurance renewal might provide the im…
