  • Also [url]www.careerbuilder.com[/url] is a good site. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman
  • The phrase damned if you do, damned if you don't comes to mind. x:D I am not going to say if you should or should not reprimand. First does you company handbook discuss behavior away from work, and representing the company in a positive way? A …
  • Send the letter you were preparing to send..........if she has legitimate reasons she can bring them to you. If she does not and demands special treatment let her know that the COMPANY not her sets the hours. If she is unhappy with them she can al…
  • Fact is these environmentalist wackos are killing trees to preach their message. Shame on them. If the activity were to continue, depending on what other personal messages were written I could see this creating a "hostile work environment". Remem…
  • As others have said, you must have program and train. Also with Bloodborne Pathogen programs those who may come in contact with blood, or opim must be offered the hepatitis b vaccine. You can't force them to get it but have them sign a declination…
  • I agree forcing them to take vacation while on jury duty? That will go over like a lead balloon. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman
  • Julia if it is clearly written in the company policy my understanding that you can withhold for items as long as you do not bring the individuals pay down below minimum wage. My $0.02 worth. Welcome. DJ The Balloonman
  • I see nothing wrong or unreasonable with that! My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman
  • The work could always be done after hours or on the weekend. Sounds like management does not value their employees very much. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman
  • Since I have a pocketful of change......here goes :-) First, when you have issues like this just terminate the employee. It really does not matter what discipline you issue an employee like this will have the union file a grievance. Second, when y…
  • You are employees, based on every standard that I can think of. He is breaking a number of laws also. As construction he may also be breaking some workers' compensation laws. I would contact the Workers' comp fraud unit also as it sounds like he …
  • If the holiday falls on a Saturday we celebrated it the Friday before, if it falls on a Sunday we celebrate it on Monday. If they work on the holiday, we pay them the holiday pay on top of their regular pay. I also ask in lieu of do they want the …
  • If everything is documented, terminate her. Have a check in hand for 30 days pay. If you don't do this you are stuck with her for another 90 days, you would be better suited to use this time looking for an appropriate replacement. My $0.02 worth. …
  • You still require them to be tested. If they are driving on company business once their insurance limits are exhausted (as primary coverage) then the company's insurance would kick in. You need to look at it as a work related incident, the issue o…
  • I would still make him pee in a cup, a week after the fact means coke and meth would not be picked up, but if he is a pot smoker, well you would still catch that. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman
  • How long ago did this occur? Do you have a post accident drug testing policy? I would have him tested. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman
  • Sounds like by terminating this person you have the opoportunity to significantly increase morale! My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman
  • Theresa, while the employer can assign "other duties as required/assigned" the driving someone to work is as I see it outside of the employment relationship. First off, it is bad practice, second, no-one, not even my employer can "force me" to driv…
  • Hmmmmm I would say no at least not in a private vehicle, you might be able to force the issue with a company car. Just because a person is on restricted duty, even if they can't drive it is still their responsibility to get themselves to work. THE…
  • Would you and have you terminated people before for similar issues with the files? That question will come up. Myself, if I had all of my documentation squared away, I would proceed with termination. That being said there are those far wiser than…
  • I agree with Linda, however, since this is a recent change, you could work around this one for any leaves your were already aware of. As it stands now, look at your FMLA policy, this individual is entitled to 12 weeks leave with that. My $0.02 wo…
  • Just make it policy that interns are not eligible for insurance benefits. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman
  • It is not always a bad thing. I had a friend in the Army become my supervisor, it sucked. I did not want to damage the friendship, so I ended up busting my butt more at work because of the value I placed on the friendship. My $0.02 worth. DJ The…
  • The internship looks good on the resume, college credits cost money. Obviously they want the experience but not the cost. Since they appear willing to work without pay, while I don't know if it is legal, oh well. You could give them a one time st…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-22-03 AT 08:16AM (CST)[/font][p]Lawyers are many times very helpful, and like in this case, you wonder why they even get paid. This lawyer harmed you! You had the perfect opportunity to get rid of a…
  • Marilyn, Be careful with these 360 degree performance reviews, I did a bunch of them one morning and got so dizzy I had to lie down for a while! x:D They are very paper intensive also. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman
  • Think about the information that is on some applications. It would tell you what illnesses an individual has had. I personally think you could learn as much about their health from a health or disability insurance app than anything else. Medical f…
  • I disagree with LFernandes, I would call the police and see what if any criminal statutes might apply. Do that first, call the lawyer after you see what the police can do. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman
  • Don I was refering to the original post when MNJane said they do not believe they are viewing the website at work.................everyone from work has probably looked at it while at work by now. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman
  • Do you honestly think people are not viewing this website while at work? 8-| My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman
