We do not pay ees for time spent voting. The polls are open from 6:30 am to 7:30 pm and no one is scheduled to work before 7:30 in the morning. Distance is not an issue either. To me, voting is a privilege and a right not another one of those emp…

'Skirting' the gender issue, why hasn't the manager addressed the performance issues in writing? This would be a decidedly 'careful step' in the termination process. He needs to do his job instead of shuffling the problem off to someone else. Ann…

We don't have a 'retaliatory' policy per se in the handbook, but several of our policies (harassment, filing complaints, investigations) have the following language attached: "Retaliation against any employee for filing a complaint or participatio…

Thanks to all. I called our employment attorney and he also said the speaker was full of hot air. So, we're ignoring it. I passed Larry C's advice on to the payroll administrator who burst into tears and said, "It's not the caffeine - I'm pregnan…

1. Not eligible for rehire if we term for any reason 2. Failure to give proper notice of voluntary term (we would look at the circumstances, actually); only eligible for rehire once. 3. They start out again as a new hire. I'd like to change this…

Good grief, Sam! If you did that all in one day, you are my new HR hero! Anne in Ohio

We still do things the ol' fashioned way - original W-4 in the payroll files. I do have a question. Does anyone require ees to fill out a new W-4 each year? Some of ours have to be 10 or more years old. Thanks, Anne in Ohio

i did precisely what Don D describes. When I was informed that my subscription budget was being cut, I told the director to cancel, at her discretion, anything and/or everything but my MLS subscription - and she did just that! Anne in Ohio

Right on, Larry. A large number of Hmong are also located in the Fresno, CA area. Anne in Ohio

We require two to four weeks notice depending on the position. The only consequence to the EE is that without proper notice they are not considered eligible for rehire. Anne in Ohio

Our personnel manual calls it the Performance Review period. My spiel during orientation makes it clear that this 90 day period is to give both the company and the new ee a period of time to measure the fit of the new hire with our needs. I also m…

Our policy here is about the same as LarryC's. Our organization is 90% female and we generally strongly support these types of situations. I found the following site that shows that Ohio has no formal legislation in place and I've never heard of su…

Elle, Try this link. This was discussed a few months ago and was very helpful to me as I want to go the intranet route this year. [url]http://www.hrhero.com/employersforum/DCForumID14/4355.html[/url] Anne in Ohio

Amen. Well said, JEBtrois. When I first started this job we had a director vs BOD feud raging. I was caught in the middle so many times that I dreaded coming to work for a while. Fortunately, a new director and new board members have turned thi…

Like Gillian3 we have no formal policy, but supervisors can and do send employees home if there is a concern. If the 'illness' is a seasonal allergy thing or something we let it go. But strep, pinkeye, etc., - well, you've got to go home. Anne in…

Nigel, I remember this subject from a few months ago and looked it up again. There were a lot of excellent responses (as usual) and they may be helpful to you now in your situation. Good luck - I would hate to think what outsourcing my responsib…

Sonny, we are a public agency and have the following in our policy: To comply with all applicable local, state and federal civil and criminal laws and avoid the appearance of any criminal offense or professional misconduct. Even with that in place,…

I would love a copy of your form to compare to mine (and improve if I can): [email]ahackman@mail.portsmouth.lib.oh.us[/email] or fax to 740 353-1249. Thanks, Anne in Ohio

I have a form very similar to JM's (in Word format) that I would be happy to email you. Your email address is disabled, so you will need to post it. Or I can fax it to you. Anne in Ohio

We are a public employer in Ohio and are bound by the Ohio Sunshine Laws, not the FOIA. The Attorney General posts an update on the state website annually for state agencies to review. These laws include the areas you are questioning. For example,…

The law doesn't go into effect until April 9 and is not yet incorporated into the revised code. I found this opinion from a Cleveland law firm that outlines some guidelines employers' should consider when creating or updating a "no weapons" policy …

I would very much appreciate a copy of your form. There is a running debate on this issue around here right now. [email]ahackman@mail.portsmouth.lib.oh.us[/email] Thanks! Anne in Ohio

Tonia, our policy includes the statement that "(T)he progressive disciplinary procedures described in Comments (1),(2),and (3), above, may be applied to an employee who is experiencing a series of unrelated problems involving job performance and/or …

You also may have to comply with the EEOC and send in the EEO-1 report on an annual basis. More information at: [url]http://www.eeoc.gov/stats/jobpat/e1instruct.html[/url] Anne in Ohio

We had a similar (but ickier) situation here a few years ago. One of our very senior employees was in the habit of removing her entire upper bridge in the break room, examining it closely, and then rinsing it off in the sink. It took a long time f…

We were forced to close for three days in February due to power outages caused by a ferocious ice storm. This is the policy we used in that case and others. "Employees are expected to report for work during inclement weather conditions if the Dire…

You may want to try Ohio JobNet Online. It's offered through the state's Department of Job and Family Services Department. Their website is: [url]http://www.state.oh.us/odjfs/[/url] Good luck! The unemployment rate in my county is nearing 10% bu…

This sounds like a supervisor who likes to carp but not provide effective input to help her employees. I would not place any of the emails in the personnel file unless they were attached to a written warning. The written warning would have to incl…

I read in December that a $2 million discrimination suit was allowed to proceed to court on the basis of religion. An employee refused to remove facial piercings, stating that it was a sign of her faith in the Church of Body Modification. The cour…
