Under CA law an employer CAN dock an exempt employee a full day if the employee is absent for personal reasons. They can also dock a partial day and use sick leave time (or PTO) if the partial day absence is for medical reasons - as it sounds like …

And of course in California, an anti-moonlighting policy is not legal because the employer cannot try to control employees' activity outside of work (as long as it's legal). We only address outside employment in terms of conflict of interest.

My company did this several years ago and we chose to freeze the sick time people had accrued and called it Salary Continuation hours. They cannot ever cash it out, and can only use it for a disability (not regular sick time) or up to five days in …

I agree with Crout - it would be a big mistake to terminate if the CEO gave her the week off. You could discipline her for not complying with your company's harassment policy IF your policy states that employees must cooperate with investigations. …

Maybe it'll make you feel better to know it's happened to others also. I was coordinating a full day of back to back RIF notices and thought I was being so efficient in scheduling Facilities to deliver boxes to the person's cubicle while they were …

We also document our verbal warnings to prove that it was an actual warning as opposed to a discussion or counseling session. We provide the documentation to the employee as well, making sure we use the word "warning" and spell out the consequences…

I agree with Shawn. I used to work for a company that sounds very similar to yours. I was hired as an executive assistant and ended up the HR Manager because somebody had to do it. I started off doing the same things you are doing, but attended a…

Has anyone consulted your company's attorney? I definitely would not contact the police without doing that first. People who work with children (day care, schools, etc.) are mandated reporters (by law) and that's why they have an additional level …

I agree as well. Not an HR issue, not a HIPPA issue by any stretch and I wouldn't worry about it if the Finance Department isn't worried about it.

Now we know where to turn for Affirmative Action questions! I'm with a rather large government contractor and Steve Mac's answer seems to cover it all completely! The advice we have gotten on functional AAP's is don't do it. Why identify yourself…

It will not cover an employee's own illness because state disability already does that. The program will also benefit single employees who may need time to care for elderly parents. I would suspect that a lot of those who harped on "family values"…

I don't know WA law, but I would think that of course you can restrict employees from smoking in a customer area. Is the issue that they can't sit in the alley? Put a couple of plastic chairs out there. I don't think employers are obligated to pr…
