Do you have a drug and alcohol policy? Is he violating it? You know he has a drinking problem, and you send him out of town for work. Do you allow him to rent a car for the purpose of conducting company business or as part of the travel? If so, …

Dental limits typical are $1,000 a year. Sounds like most of her's would be cosmetic, so little if any coverage. Sounds like 5-10K worth of work. If she is all that and a bag of chips, and you have no other comperable candidate, then much like th…

How old are you kids Anne? Cause if you give a mouse a cookie, he is going to want some milk.x:D Good point Anne, if the teeth are enough of an issue don't even go there. "Fit" is a safer issue. Reality is, others are going to judge her, and …

Perception is reality, and it sounds like her first impression would be a bad one. We had a candidate that had similar issues........was a former employee...... he ended up having an attitude which between that and the teeth convinced us not to hi…

I appreciate that you all feel I have been a valuable contributor. I feel the same way about many of you........ while I may give my $0.02....without hesitation, there has been more than a few times I need everyone else's $0.02, and for that I hav…

SMace, I am very much aware of the challenges of working for a friend. I will not be working directly for him, though he is part owner of the company.... we have already had a discussion work is work, friendship is friendship. Small growing com…

We have a no fault safety bonus too. Last year one individual lost it when someone else dropped a hammer on his face. No fault is no fault. My $0.02 worth, DJ The Balloonman

Do what we do. Do not mandate it, just recommend it, and make it clear if you do not choose it your check will be mailed, and at the mercy of the US Post Office. For those who do not sign up, they usually do after the first check is lost. My $0.02…

If it is FMLA no points are assigned........ I have on two occassions gone back and deleted points that were FMLA this was done within a week or so of the original occurrence. Typically it has not been an issue...... fortunate enough that it eithe…

The no-fault system is based on points and assigns points as follows: Absent full day – 1 point Late, leave early, half-day off – ½ point No call no show – 2 points Points drop off after one year. The following occurs with the accumulation of po…

You just reminded me of something...... [url]http://www.toolboxtopics.com/Construction/index.htm[/url] This will be a big help. My $0.02 worth, DJ The Balloonman

AGC is the Union folks though........ABC Associatied Builders & Contractors is the non-union version. ABC has all the items you would need to get started from a safety standpoint. Send me your email address and I will email you my company hand…

That is why when you give notice, if you are smart you have already made copies of anything you need! x:D When I left the meat plant.......long story but it was a nightmare....they were even regularly scheduling training on Saturdays so we could n…

Our handbook states that if an employee damages tool or equipment through negligence that they may be held financially responsible. About 6 weeks ago, we had an individual, who has been disciplined on some other things destroy a $450 hot saw. Hey …

How much does it cost to train the trainer? If she is close to being terminated I would be hesitant. I do not allow employees who have been suspended for attendance to go to training opportunities that are both for training and a reward for good …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-11-04 AT 01:23PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Just spoke with the superintendent. He did report it to him, and was instructed to fill out the accident report, and turn it into me. He was a foreman at the tim…

I do not want to compromise my random drug testing. Truely random, have it witnessed, I do not want to compromise it. We have a no fault attendance system, and he is at 8.5 out of 10. He will not last long. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

UPDATE Okay, just as follow up...........went and rolled this out to the first of the two companies....100% for it.....employees paying $5.25 a week for the clothes and their laundering. Started laying the ground work for second group. As for the…

S moll, yes we will have some cost too. But we thing the improved professional appearance alone is worth it. I estimate 98% would be thrilled with it. It actually will save the employees quite a bit of money in the long run. My $0.02 worth, DJ …

Interesting points. Lets be clear, good employees are not late on a regular basis. Late is late, kinda like a little bit pregnant you either are or you are not. The only reason someone notices a person being a minute late, is because they have a…

Ask him if being terminated would cause him more or less stress? x:D My $0.02 worth, DJ The Balloonman

Just because they know why they are being fired does not prevent them from being in shock when it happens S Moll. I think that is where the comment was coming from. Other than layoffs, terminations are, and you are should never be a surprise. Bu…

Don brings up an excellent point. This is not a debate, or time to rehash items. A decision has already been made, and WE need to maintain control of the conversation, not the former employee. While some may see this as being rude, allowing them…

Bring her in now, and terminate her......... do not delay. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman PS Besides, your day will get better, as will you week once you are done.

What type of attendance policy do you have? Is she close to terminating? I see two options, one is I would sit her down on Monday and give her a last chance agreement, outlining the issues you have discussed, along with the expected behavior. I…

I just hired one. They are required to have 2 days a month that they are at the station so it is manned. They get the schedule at the end of each month. So in this case they do not get called during the day. I can live with 2 days a month. My $0…

Hmmm, sounds like there is probably more to the story....... The manager should not be yelling at employees, you have to deal with that issue. I have found in the past when people are acting inappropriately like this manager in the past, if you re…
