Here I thought, cool............this will be one heck of a thread! 50 employees, yes we do. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

Great advice, prepare like heck, expect to lose and maybe you get pleasantly surprised. I only challenge them when they are for cause, and have a pretty good track record. I find on the initial paperwork, many of them lie...........that is where g…

I would let the investigation run it's course. If he makes a statement admitting guilt, then you can term him for theft. However just being charged does not mean he is guilty. Not knowing more of the details I do not know what else to tell you. …

She works half time but schedules her doctor's appointments during that time. I hope you are counting those additonal hours missed as FMLA, because they are. When she runs out of FMLA terminate her. Make sure you document the need for full time. …

No DOn, we don't allow the OT when they are on restricted duty. I just make it my practice wherever I have been. You woud be surprised, none of the good employees ever complain, they understand the logic. Those that are your problem employees are…

Hunter, A restriction of 9 hours a day is not much of a restriction, or problem to accomodate. That is an easy one to accomodate. What if he work Tues-Sat., or Sun.-Thur. and you had a restriction of no working on Saturday and Sunday. Would you f…

Quite easy Don. When I work with a doctor/clinic regularly we have had the discussion and they are usually of the same mindset. If a person is injured, they should not be working extra hours, that does not help them heal. I have even had one doct…

First off, I will say like I always do, do not let people work with non work related restrictions. Second on any restrictions like that, I would send the doctor a job description for the tasks the employee is required to do, along with a fob capabi…

Deez you are part of the in crowd! x;-) DJ The Balloonman

Yes deez, You missed my joke, went right over your head. Good thing you aren't taller it might have hit you in the head. x:D Ahhhh humor gets lost on the board sometimes. Everyone, have a great weekend...............I am off..........to Iowa t…

Deez, Immediately go back and delete your original post so that you cannot be accused be accussed of considering him disabled!!! Then you have to answer the question, can he perform the essential tasks of the job. On the surface it would be easy t…

Wow gone part of a day and this one almost doubled! Crout, he was being the unreasonable one in my book. As for the judge, I love it. Someone is at least taking a stand. I did see that he ran for office as the 10 Commandments Judge, so it is not…

Leslie, Ironically there is more prayer in your place of employment then any other. "Dear God let me get that Ace" (mutter by an athiest no doubt) "God d*%n you haven't dealt me crap all night", "Please God let me win this hand". As for the teac…

Paul, I can't believe you are HR, you should know better than have that verse on your computer, shame on you. (Just kidding folks!) Okay, here is a link to the story of the judge who is refusing an order from the federal court to remove the 10 com…

Parabeagle I am offended by your remark! ROFL..........no not really... x:D ....Don is right must compensate the time, but I would not work for a company that did not compensate for milage. My $0.02 worth.

I don't know if you are "required", but good luck to you if you take away the company cars and don't pay the IRS rate of $0.365 a mile!!!!! My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

I just hired someone who was a convicted felon and recently got out of jail. My HR mentor used to do the same some years ago, he said when you interviewed them you could tell the ones that wanted to change their lives. I believe he is correct. I…

Some thoughts, just playing x}> advocate. I could not tell from your post what role the manager had in the interview process? Do you screen candidates then present them to him to interview. Is there minimum requirements for the job? I ask, be…

Talk to you MRO about what a low creatine reading means. I cannot recall myself, but it may not be as much of an issue. Of course you get those taking supplements with high creatine readings........... My only concern would be is it considered and…

Yes. A clean/acceptable driving record is required to be insurable by our liability carrier. I require immediate notification of a DWI/DUI. Anyone receiving a DWI is banned from driving company vehicles for 5 years. I also run the mvr's once a y…

Some good points. Fortunately Linda you were able to address the situation. I was getting ready to ask the question what happens if you do not act on this information, and then the employee has a serious injury with machinery while you knew he sho…

First thing I would do is inform the WC carrier that this was not present as WC originally, and that you want them to thoroughly investigate it and if at all possible deny it. Second I would bring the employee in question in, and the union steward,…

No right no wrong, but Don nailed it, time on the floor so they get to know you and vice versa is essential. When working in manufacturing, I was on the plant floor every day and like Don made it a point to be seen on all 3 shifts. Now in construc…
-
I would not accomodate non-work related restrictions, and aggravation can make the situation a compensable WC claim. As for employee 1, do the current restrictions allow her to do the physical aspects of the job? If so it is not a choice because s…

I think some folks might be getting to hung up on email addresses. With palm pilots in lieu of day timers the addresses of personal and home are on the computer though seperated on the palm by categories. Now people should be synching their palm …

HEAR YE, HEAR YE, This horse has been beaten to death. Let this be the last post on this thread and may it mercifully drop quickly from the first page of the forum. Yes many good points were made................ Good discussion was had..........…

April pull your mind up out of the gutter! I was just going to see if Don should be worried that the picture would offend a typical male. x}> Of course one might debate how typical I am............ lol My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

Don, Can you send me a your daughter's prom picture? DJ The Balloonman

Wow, go away for the afternoon, and all hell breaks loose! Oh wait, I don't want to offend, all heck breaks loose. x:D Interesting issues and points, and as usual none are wrong, none are right depending on your personal stance/beliefs. Couple o…

Discipline the action, not the outcome. New truck, old truck does not matter. However something you may consider is sending those with a chargable accident to a defensive driving course. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman
