  • Thanks Coffee and Paul, your comments are very helpful.
  • thanks all. that is what we did. we are a small-ish company and don't see these a lot, it's amazing how "official looking" these demands can be, and how assertive companies can be in their approach. they tried to talk us into checking with the EE…
  • Hi Dutch, My question was not so much how to determine if the work falls under the visa requirements as it is does the fact that she is not getting paid make the visa status irrelevant.
  • We reimburse for job enhancing courses (my term, not the policy's), tuition only, up to $500. A person can apply for a second award if money remains in the budget. Only require proof that the person has enrolled in and paid for the course. Do not…
  • You are so right, Frank, it's a great example. I can happily say that mostly we are on top of these situations, but this is one of those instances where we started notification well in advance of the event, but ran up against an employee who dragge…
  • Well, a new development. The employee in question just gave his notice. He is leaving to move to a job where his hours are flexible. It is not the same position, but one there is less interaction with other employees as part of his responsibili…

  • Sharon, thanks for the suggestion. I did just that and came up with a ton of information.
  • Nae, you are a Superstar! Good job.
  • i'm sorry I didn't see this any sooner, and I assume your Employee Appreciation Day has been planned and perhaps even executed. So, Nae, what did you choose? [QUOTE=NaeNae55;719489]It seems like every year I end up asking my fellow forumites for i…
  • Nae, let's hope few listeners were stupid enough to take the DJ's word as fact. Otherwise, they're in for a rude awakening. If I even suggested to my managers that flipping off was behavior "up with which they had to put" I'd be joining those list…
  • [QUOTE=ACU Frank;719561]Are there any jobs there that could be performed by someone who is blind, or mute?[/QUOTE] That's a great question. My immediate answer is no, but upon more reflection each job would require an analysis of alternatives to …
  • [QUOTE=NaeNae55;718250] In your situation with a more recent hire, I would treat as if she has only been there 2 months at merit time. How would you normally handle if the employee was hired in October? Would you give them an increase at 6 months …
