See not all judges and arbitrators are morons!!!!! What a relief. Congrats. Now if the arbitrator in the Terell Owens case will tell him tough you play for Baltimore this weekend and you are not a free agent I will have even more faith in the syste…

I would relax.............if you have documentations showing he was in jail.........and the fact that he lied about jail, did not show or call in etc. The employee may want to fight the issue, the union may back them, but I would like to think tha…

As this is a temporary condition, that will be corrected with surgery, then she is not disabled, nor would I consider her that. I would consider her unable to perform the essential functions of the job, and release her for that reason. My $0.02 wor…

It is not his option. Get the note stating his hearing loss is due to other activities. Then explain to him that you are required by law to require him to wear the hearing protection. Offer a variety of hearing protection then begin progressive d…

chec, Do not disclose it to anyone, it really is not needed. Universal precautions should always be used by 1st aid responders. Emphasize in the training to treat everyone like they have a infectious disease. If you violate their privacy, pre hi…

I would caution you that there are a couple of medical conditions that could make and individuals breath smell like alcohol. Observe behaviors...........don't assume or make personnel decisions on an assumption. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

Damn Parabeagle, that does suck. Couple of thoughts.......the couple of tumblers of Jack Daniels ain't a bad idea. Sounds like your friend is not currently in the office..... I think I would see about a lunch meeting, somewhere where you can have s…

The only way for toes to be sheared off would be for something of TREMENDOUS weight to fall on the foot. It can happen but usually does not. Steel toed shoes (or plastic toe caps) are designed to protect the foot against crush type injuries associ…

Chari, Get off your high horse..........while we do not like the anonymous call........he is a sex offender. End of discussion. I have hired people out of prison, would I hire someone convicted of theft to be in a position to handle money or be i…

I would suspend immediately pending investigation, have him turn in keys. Pay him while he is suspended. Review the application, if he in fact falsified it, immediately terminate for that reason. End of discussion, nice and simple. If he did no…

Okay, interesting situation. My first question would be, did you before sending out an intent to term letter bring in the individual and set them down inform him of the complaint and discuss the issue? I would wonder if it could be covered with a …

Judy, The question that needs to be asked is if this review was done on time, would it have impacted who was let go and who was retained in the downsizing? If there would have been no change, then in my mind it should not matter. My $0.02 worth. D…

Today is the first time I have seen this thread. Do what he has directed. After it backfires and you do not term some folks, because a supervisor screwed up, he may come around some........ If not after the first lawsuit he will.....ROFL. Every co…

I don't disagree with comments made, but I looked at this from a different perpective. You have an obviously negative and in my opinion stupid employee. You can specifically address the negative behavior as Margaret said........ As for the stupidi…

While I can't speak to leadership training itself, when I do training I work on making it interactive from the start. In addition I warn the group, how akward it is for me and them for me to ask a question, and for there to be silence, me staring a…

In a previous life, my boss had anyone caught stealing taken out in cuffs. HR did not like it but it sent a strong message without having to say they were a thief. It is a catch 22............... usually there are others around who know the real …

Margaret you bit*h! People who have a genuine loss understand.......and will provide the proof.....as you and I know. :-) Have a great weekend. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

Damage is done, and will only be made worse if she stays. Remember for the future, once a decision to terminate is made, do what it takes to carry it out swiftly.........if they are a bad apple they will only continue to rot, and may damage other g…

Ahhhh same way the check that you are proofing for underage liquor purchases. It is the responsibility of the person who is ringing them up to verify they are of age, does not matter if it is cigarettes or alcohol. It is not entrapment, it is an e…

Call you state division of W.C., they might be able to give you guidance. Also your insurance carrier can. If they can return to another job, with same pay it will help reduce the value of the claim. TN is a bad state when it comes to WC.....good…

An intersting thread............obviously one we all have strong opinions. Let me see we all agree, no tolerance for child abusers. Easy enough. None of us likes relying on 2nd & 3rd hand info, we all seem to agree......... Remember with di…

Coberg, Welcome to the forum! Margaret is right on the money. One thing to keep in mind, you should have seperate medical files, and those are not to be seen by anyone except whoever is responsible for them. Medical files have tons of personnal in…

It is a sign, that she and her husband are meant to be DINKs. Yes Double Income No Kids. I told my wife if we had these types of issues I would not do the fertility stuff, but might consider adoption. To me it was a sign that I should have a Pors…

I can only hope the individual did not die. As someone who has been in charge of the first responders, and often dealing with injured employees I am used to being second guessed. I tell all my first responders to do what they believe is correct ba…
