I agree with the respondents . . . theft is theft. You have proven he did commit the offense, and he has confessed. That he paid back the money does not alter the fact that he violated the trust and confidence of your employer by stealing from …

Once burned, twice shy for us!! Linda is correct--the complexities are enormous, and you need to be sure you've covered ALL the bases. If we even consider hiring a non-citizen, we consult with our immigration attorney. He is our "devil's advocate…

Your posting raises other questions: Do you have specific disciplinary procedures set forth in a policy manual or employee handbook? Have those "problem employees/employees that are not producers" been disciplined in the past(with appropriate docu…

Unfortunately, corporate attorneys most often are not conversant in either HR or benefits issues. Your FSA provider could be correct. The IRS suspended some filing requirements for specified fringe benefits plans (cafeteria plans, education assis…

Oh, for a "dry spell" . . . I'd give you one of my vacations days--or better yet, a vacation week--for one!! Ditto the other respondents' comments, but how about reviewing the communications pieces that you use for employees, as well?

We operate 24/7 and have 1,200 employees. We ask for a number where employees can be reached or where a message can be left. For those employees who share in designated on-call duty, their phone number is verified by their Manager at the time the …

We also do not charge for W-2's; typical request is fulfilled within five working days (sooner if it is more recent, say the past three years or so).

We also can count on one hand those who forfeit vacation. The majority of forfeitures are hours that the employee "forgot" they had left (even though it appears on their paycheck stub each week). Our cutoff for taking vacation accrued in the previ…

We also would not reimburse; however, before simply bringing in the candidate, we would do an extensive telephone interview to be certain he/she(and sometimes us after contacting a candidate this way) would want a face-to-face. We've found this ca…

Yes, we do . . . 1,200 employees (not all bare naked ladies--we'd never get ANYTHING done!)

"EAP" is an Employee Assistance Program.

We must be "meanies", too! Once the professional employee terminates, all is handled about the same as Cinderella's organization. HR notifies IT--the e-mails, etc. end the day of the termination. We also have a genereic message to re-route e-mai…

No one wanted to get heavy-handed about this problem, which had been a contnuing one like yours. A new VP of Finance finally resolved it once and for all by enlisting the support of the other VPs. Our payroll deadline has always been 2 PM on Monday…

If you'll send me your e-mail address, we have a couple of policies that may be of help to you.

We placed a management employee on "administrative leave" with pay pending the outcome of the investigation. It would seem this should apply here. You obviously are working with your labor attorney; just be sure that what you say to this manager w…

How right you are! We are into the controversy about defining what "Cropped" pants are and what "Capris" are! I've always maintained that all you have to do is look in the mirror, but some people just don't get it--and they are the ones the public…

Don: Boy, am I glad I'm not the only one who has had such thoughts about some State employees! It's not only happening in the State of Arizona! I know it's not ALL employees and a lot of people I know work for this Commonwealth. But--unfortunat…

Everyone is right on . . . and State laws and, if applicable, a collective bargaining agreement could give employees even greater protection against lie detector tests than the Federal law and would be valid and enforceable. They are not preempted…

We use an adjusted hire date (length of time on layoff deducted from total service as of layoff date). Health and dental benefits would be reinstated the first of the month following the recall if they had such benefits. If they had not completed…

Moneyman: We have been using telecommuting in two of our departments, and except for a little difficulty (minor) at the start-up, it has worked well for us. The majority of our telecommuters are part-time employees, with a few per diems. I have …

I agree with Shadowfax--it's now or later! Even if you suspect the employee is attemptng to build a case against your employer, let him have the copy of his file. We have a procedure that if it is a current employee who makes a request, they can…
-
I agree with the other respondents . . . don't take the "employment at Will" language out! You didn't indicate in your posting whether this "consultant" was a labor attorney--just curious.

It's definitely a scam! Over the years, I have been contacted, as have many other colleagues of mine in this area, by "official-sounding" agencies, etc. with the same spiel or variations thereof. Every time I asked to have a copy of the ad or not…
