Ditto, focus on policy violations. This means that the person hurt, may or may not have violated a policy. Just because there is an accident does not mean there is a write up. My $0.02 worth! DJ The Balloonman

You can buy dispensers, $0.05 or $0.25 per packet.....Conney Safety Products carried them........ I have been on both sides of the fence............ it really does not matter. I believe there may have been a lawsuit in the past......but where I wa…

Tough spot......... I am with a similar sized company, new position almost 3 years ago that was handled half-assed by others in the organization. They had other responsibilities that made it a lower priority. I made it a point to develop a relation…

SOunds like by your policy there is no vacation due. As for her putting the PT on hold, contact the carrier as she is probably being paid 2/3rds of her salary for the half day and have them stop payment until she is compliant with the treatment pla…

I would have a come to Jesus meeting with him, and explain that if that is verified and continues, he will be terminated. My $0.02 worth! DJ The Balloonman

Our policies state if they damage equipment and such we can take it out of their check. Typically I sit down with someone we need to get money from, have them sign and agreement that includes legal fees and such if they leave for any reason, that g…

You could go either way with this. Comes down to it is a new boss, and you have not established the type of relationship with them where you feel comfortable going in there and having this conversation. If the employee who he made the remark to is…

We have an employee with a similar situation.....will not work Saturdays due to religious beliefs. We work Saturdays in construction, but no biggie. Also he will work on Sundays when needed toward the end of a job when it is crunch time, so as I s…

What type of facility are you? Industry? Building lay out? I have evolved my disaster plans into a format I call the Rainbow Flip Chart. I will take a picture of it and send it to you if you give me your email. The issue is that during an emerge…

I guess I must dissagree. When I suspend people for attendence (I know, oxymoron) I specifically make it midweek, so as to not reward the employee with a long weekend, and consult with the job site as to which days work best for them. I also tell …

Geez folks I have not had to do this in a long long time............... I declare this dead horse beaten enough~~!!!!! Let this thread die and drop from the front page quickly folks...........no more posts. I did not have the joy of chiming in, as…

70 people, if holiday falls on a Saturday we have the Friday before off, if it falls on a Sunday, we have the Monday off. We do not have the day after Thanksgiving off ...........yet, I am working on that one. My $0.02 worth! DJ The Balloonman

Tell this executive that the request is so bizzare, and ludicris that you are contemplating having him go for a reasonable suspicion drug test. WHat does you policy call for? My $0.02 worth! DJ The Balloonman

Sleeping on the job should always be against the rules...........though many would think it is a statement of the obvious. My $0.02 worth! DJ The Balloonman

Of course the other thing that may be happening.....is it is possible, the Controller is using the new person to push forth change that needs to happen.....letting them be the bad guy. Sounds like it is probably not the case, however, it could be. …

As I am not always known for my tact I would sit down with the controller and revisit the issue. WHen they say they have no problem I would say, while you may not see a problem, I and a number of other managers do. I would point out specific issue…

The only parameter would be how stupid the employer is in rehiring someone who was a poor performer! Not to sound harsh..............but why even consider them. "Based on their past work experience, we have selected individuals better qualified f…

Parabeagle is correct, that service time and past record can be factored into why individual discplinary discretion can be applied to what apprears to be similar circumstances. If this were not such a severe case of misconduct I might argue against …

I disagree with LFernandes, well her very last sentence. Sit her down have the chat etc. Make it clear, if this happens again, there will be no progressive discipline, she will be terminated for insubordination. No third chance to act like this t…

I am cool with most of your arguement James, except that off duty drug use can and does cause impairment. Smoking pot on Sunday still affects your optical nerves and impairs depth perception on Monday morning. Do we want someone using powered equi…

Just curious, any of the individuals previously fired black, hispanic, or any other race than the employee the owner wants to make an exception for? $$$$ Fire the druggie and don't feel bad. My $0.02 worth! DJ The Balloonman

Interesting post. I have been dealing with something similar this past week. We offer a last chance agreement for employees if they have been with us for a while. Typically 2-3 years or more. Calls for follow up testing at 30 day s and random te…
