Why don't you hire him as a consultant for the first job. Let him know you will hit him with a 1099. If it all works out then you can move forward with hiring him. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

The Beagle is right on. The issue is will an employee discuss things honestly with the employer present. No different that someone asking a son or daughter if they are doing drugs or having sex in front of the parents.........what do you think th…

I would tell him, that one you need advance notice, and two he should have orders for reporting to work/duty. I do not remember what the policy is if he is volunteering for extra duty with them. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

Once a thief, always a thief. They borrowed the money eh? Borrowing something, in my book means asking someone. Not only would I fire, in those cases you should consider prosecuting. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

What we do...........as delays happen if they want another check cut we have them sign a form stating they will pay for the stopped payment charge on the other check. Our pay policy is direct deposit or we mail it to you. We have had delays up to …

We ban anyone who has a DUI/DWI from driving a company vehicle. It comes down to the fact that drivers with very poor records, or DUI/DWI's are specifically excluded by our insurer. I am right at this moment updating our policy and it will includ…

Don't you just love it when a pain in the a$$ employee makes your day be eliminating themselves? Just does not happen often enough. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

If that is the case, and you don't think they believed you I might change the approach. Send them home from the meeting with two assignments. One each to develop a plan as to how they are going to work together without causing office tension. Se…

Maybe you need to let them both know you are considering letting them both go. They are both showing a failure to get along, and a lack of being part of the team. Bet that would shock them into shaping up. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

You might have your payroll person check, if it is direct deposit within so many days you can "withdraw" a mistake like that........at least for the last overpayment. I would be hard pressed to believe that she did not notice such a large amount. …

I think we should drug test Paul for reasonable suspicion! :-) My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

Sit her down and tell her, "Mary we think you are great, but you know per our policy if you are out so long we must terminate your employment. Once you are able to return to work, come back, and if we have an opening you can start the next day, oth…

That is one of the reasons I would never do it.......it would stay in my system for years! This guy has about 8% body fat...........and is a liar to boot. Point was made, I am retesting him in 30 days. :-) My $0.02 worth! DJ The Balloonman

One of my favorite quotes: "Today isn't a good day for a drug test" My reply, while smiling: Every day is a good day for drug tests. He failed, darn near melted the cup! Today my positive admitted he smoked, but stopped a couple 2 or three mont…

True Don, but it goes without saying......follow policy. But lets not all say awwww they have a disease. That is a liberal enabling attitude. My $0.02 worth. DJ THE Balloonman

Doing something illegal is not automatically a disease. If I smoke pot or drive 90 miles an hour I am making a choice in my behaviors. While some people may be addicted, most are not. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

cwh, Welcome to the forum, your top employee is a lying, drug using piece of crap. My condolences. You have a couple of options based on your policy. If you policy calls for termination then terminate. If if gives you the option to let him get t…

Linda, Is the main boss supportive of enforcing the safety policies? If so, have him write up the supervisor, not you, explain again this could if not correct eliminate any hope of an increase at review time. The boss should also point out he bette…

We do not allow personal cell phones on the job sites. We had issues with that. We do not ban them here at the office, it really has not been an issue. We have disciplined one employee for having a cell phone on the job site. My $0.02 worth. D…

There is no reason you cannot begin progressive discipline. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

If her lack of being there is causing major problems, and you have support from above, write up her supervisor. Let it be know that the inability to manage/discipline the employee will negatively impact their performance review. 15 days of sick l…

Hmmmm sounds like they know the dress policy up front. If that is the case maybe someone (you) should point that out to them. Ask him, if he doesn't want to change it tell them to stop their whinning. You can choose how tactful you wish to be....…

It is not illogical to be incapacitated from surgery. i.e. being unable to travel back and forth to work........the actual physical recovery from the surgery itself. But could someone in this state be able to work on a computer say 4hours a day? …

How long was the temporary adjustment for? I only ask because if it was for a long time, and he moved to a different assignment theoretically one could forget. I would look to recover the last year, going back further though you may be able to le…
