If it happens again I would immediately removing the stall doors. If you want to be proactive you can sniff test their fingers when they leave, but you probably have other things to do. Finally port-o-poties are a wonderful way to deal with this, …

I am not sure if it is a bargaining issue, I do know it is up to the company to decide this. I prefer the rolling 12 month calendar that starts when leave is first taken. This prevents abuse of the system. What does your FMLA policy say? If noth…

Careful Don, if you are not nice I will take my ball and go home! DJ

What type of company hires children and then promotes them to managers! I would guess manager B took it again as a joke, then A got a little to upset and ruined the fun. Either way, they should both get over it. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman …

I have run into this before with WC. I sit them down and present them with a letter letting them know that they are responsible for paying their regular portion of the premium while out on WC. I have had the last two fall behind, one due to wife g…

Those shops have the special "Cathie Lee" exemption Don! They actually don't mind the abuse as long as Cathie Lee promises not to visit them. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

I have no better answers for the the problem that have been given but have a suggestion to some things you can do for the staff. In a past life I worked in a 9 story manufacturing building that did not have a/c on the production floors. The equipm…

Fire the employee and don't worry about it. If he want's ttd for comp have the carrier deny it. Had restricted duty available, he never showed up and was termed for no call no show. Was termed for other reasons..........usually in most normal sta…

A nice polo shirt with company logo and Safety Committe below it would go over well I am sure. You might also think about having management cook them lunch. Always nice to see the hire ups doing this. Where I was in a past life, whenever we had a…

If you have someone you know that is skilled in interviewing/interrogating you can get a signed statement and restitution agreement. You can probably get that through a general conversation with her. How well it holds up will depend on a few thing…

She may or may not have assets (a house) that you could place a lien on. I would let her know her employment is terminated, and if the full amount is not repaid within 10 days that you will proceed with criminal charges. MY $0.02 worth. DJ The Ba…

A ball gag might help. My $0.02 worth x:D DJ The Balloonman

The issue usually is that they omit information from the application. Upon offering them a job, we have them fill out a conditional job offer medical review form. It ask if they have had any previous injuries, work and non work related and info on…

I have been burned on the 3 occassions that I started people before all the background checks come back. Never do I make an exception now, Popeye is right. When I make the offer, it is contingent, and I tell them it takes about 2 weeks for all the…

Don I would have been disappointed if you did not notice! You made some good points also. There is always 1 that you should be able to identify as a good one who is not insecure and will value the new person (my I am getting politically correct) …

Well I have not ever been in Paige's situation but up until my last job I was always on an island as the safety manger/director or whatever I was called. No peer group, really sucked at times. However, back to Paige's question and my suggestion. …

Missed this post originally, the one where I used to work was: "Don't Get Caught" Former Enron Accountant.

Sounds like the supervisor should work the job for a day or two........bet they could come up with some standards then. Who knows they might even come up with the standards before working the job a day or two. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

Mentel has some excellent advice about making a set of copies to take home. I have done this before and while I ended up not using them, I had the comfort of knowing that items would not just disappear from the file. That is the other good thing …

You are correct that finding a job is difficult nowadays. It is even harder if you have a perjury convition you have to list on your application. When under oath you swear to tell the whole truth to the question that was asked. Never lie. Never…

When we went to direct deposit, we made it clear, it was optional, but those who did not sign up for it would have their checks mailed to their home. We have had 3 or 4 people get checks lost or delayed in the mail, and almost the next day they all…

Let me throw one more wrench into the thought process. Whenever there is a chance of severe weather shutting things down. When I leave the night before a storm, I take work home with me. I have also done this with a sick child when it was my turn…

I would love to see management try and force me to take a sick or vacation day to cover the plant being closed. As an exempt employee who has been considered a good employee and a member of the management team, I would not stand for it regardless o…

Yes you have to pay your exempt employees, they were able to work, you closed. You cannot dock them partial week pay. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

"Don't make rules that effect all to try and correct few." My words of wisdom for the day. Heck I might as well go home now! x:-) You are on the right path with approaching this as a performance/discipline issue, and address it with them individu…

Do you pay for any speeding tickets that they get? No, it is their responsibility, just like damage to the vehicle. Really not much different, they just see damage to the vehicle as something they did not plan on/ bargain for so someone else shoul…

Rockie don't go blaming God for this one! It is completely Mother Natures fault. She is responsible, not God. It is always funny in situations like these, how people who live on the same street have different outcomes. Some will make it in, and …

Linda, The new hire safety orientation is your chance to set the expectations and get them started on the right foot. You are covering the PPE (personal protective equipment) are you having a hearing test done? If you have a hearing conservation …

Ahhh a quandry we all face.......finding the right person. (Actually I have just been looking to use the word quandry!) Well here are a few thoughts. First look at the position and what behavioral traits does this position/person need to have to b…
