My personal favorite is: Is the person eligible for re-hire? That says a lot. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

Lunacy, sounds like someone forgot to take their medicine. LOL. Don't sweat it Don. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

Kari, Just think about what a great learning experience this has been, and will continue to be. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

I have used cameras in the past, and as we already had cameras at all entrances and exits we had no issues and did not notify anyone as it was already posted. Hidden cameras can be the most effective although I have caught thieves with cameras that…

NOw I know I may sound stupid asking this, but HIPPA will do that to you. What about an employer like myself who is a construction company. But we have a self-funded health insurance plan? I am looking for about $0.50 worth of info. DJ The Balloo…

I disagree with Crout, she may deserve another bite, but should have to wait. Showed poor judgement or a lack of intelligence, or both. I would bring her in rescind the offer and tell her why. Let her know maybe in the future she will be consider…

Not to sound mean spirited and heartless, but if he had insurance, crappy or not why would anyone go through hoops to put a significantly ill individual that typically should not be on your health insurance on your policy? If it is not a typical dep…

Isn't the number on the posters that we have up in our workplaces? Also the employee could look it up in the phone book, but maybe he cannot spell EEOC! (Sorry could not resist) My suggestion is since this is public information, meet briefly with…

With the exception of the ED, I see no reason for anyone to have a key to your office. I would remind him of the past issues and see if you can get him to change his thinking on the key system. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

That would be Iron Chef Morimoto's Resturant, named not suprisingly, Morimoto's Restuarant. Some of the items served, like one of the particular tuna, can only be caught during a 30 time of the year, so it is extremely expensive. You can eat somew…

Man, am I glad I don't have to deal with this. Of course my employees would not be understanding. We are a construction company.......lol When I first read it I had 3 or 4 smart replies I started typing and stopped. But it does not surprise me th…

I am a day late on this one but here is my $0.02. First off you are in a tough spot as the director and the manager are in conflict and you are in the middle. Something to look at, first where are you located, and where is she moving to? The reas…

My prediction is you are going to have a lot of heartburn over this. Probably some legal issues too. Remember what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. So figure this will be a memorable, and most likely expensive learining experience. If you wa…

So a manager was okay with them receiving the horns that did not work, yet they were terminated? That sounds not to cool. What is the issue between the manager and these employees that they were fired. I sense there is more to the story here. I …

Let her know that you do not have a need for a "fill in position" and that you will begin looking for her replacement. Get a good bottle of wine, some nice salmon filets and a salad to go with it and enjoy your weekend away from it all. Slap a quic…

Glad to hear it Moria!!!!!! And let that be a lesson to everyone..........about the power of a glass or wine or two, or a relaxing ice tea. Many of these problems due seem to clear up once we fail to cave to the unreasonable demands of the employe…

I am not feeling overly kind today. So first, does her job description indicate this would be part of her responsibilities? I find it odd that she can work 2 nights a week but not more....hhmmmmmm Assign her just two nights a week and all of the …
-
Me personally I would tell her and the EEOC that if it were a negative test you would be more oppen to "suggestions". Since she failed, she is terminated. End of discussion. If you typically would pay people when they go to test, pay her for the …

Well with any luck her unexcused absence will do her in. No reason not to hold her to the regular policy. With any luck she will get canned, your problem is solved. No reason to treat her any different than anyone else. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Ba…

Does this city in Ohio have investigative reporters like we have in Kansas City? I would go lawyer, file paperwork, then investigative reporter, as then the termination would be for retaliation of filing claim/lawsuit. Also puts the franchise on t…

Wow miss a day and miss all the fun. First off, brush up your resume, as it sounds like the place you are working at has so many problems that you need to get the hell out of there asap. Your upper management does not value HR, and not to br rude …

Fire her. Why did she not work on back up daycare? It is not easy but it is needed. Don't sweat it, you informed her what would happen if she missed again. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

Slow down HRjen. You got what you asked for, and without everyone knowing....."the rest of the story".....you cannot blame the folks for the responses that you got, even if they seem a little harsh. At the place AS-E that I referred to that active…

I had an employer that went out of their way to prevent us from interviewing. It was a plant start up for Armour Swift Eckrich, and they would work us partial days on Saturday, and schedule training for then. It took a lot of extra work on my part…

Sounds like you handled it well. Either I missed it or you did not say that you were paying him. Have a good one, hope he is cool with it all. DJ The Balloonman

Question Anne, We are doing all of this based on assumptions. First off what would you do if there is not a test? Or if there is a test and it takes 4 days to get the results back? Are you willing to pay for this person to sit home based on irrat…
-
Well, all good discussion after my post. But the one big reason that I have seen the suspension for missing work be effective is that then the spouse finds out about the discipline. Often the being sent home (without pay) gets the spouse to help c…

Do not waste time and resources on EAP. The person has been warned before. Continue the process and make it clear that termination is the end result. Often after a 3 day unpaid suspension, on Tues., Wed., & Thurs. of course, they realize the …

You best hope with attendance that I have found is for no call no show. That will get the UI denied, but just missing/being absent will not. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman
