Cali, we have oft discussed changing the time of year we do these, but it gets hung up in the discussion of proximity to salary review and whether there is any other less busy time (there sort of isn't, except for summer, which has its own difficult…
-
Thanks Popeye and Cali for your responses. One thing I'm wondering is about the penalties. My current approach is that the evaluated employee's salary increase doesn't go through, hoping people will get moving if they realize their staff are affe…

I agree with interpretation of policy as laid out in HrCalico's example. This is the way we implement travel pay.
-
Ahh, the old "lack of dress code policy" issue... No, we don't, and as we're a rather casual and smallish company, i don't see we'll have one any time soon. My working relationship with the pres is not one where i would be cagey about where the co…

Whirl, a couple of times during the course of this I had to stop myself from saying something like "Mr., what in the world are you thinking? Has no one ever talked to you about burning bridges? D'ya think maybe I might at some time in the future hav…

Balloonman, tempting thought, but I think the world is better off with Caroliso sans firepower! Waterpistol maybe.....

I had the same thought, Larry, but i think it wise to keep my eyes open and not assume anything. I read too much mystery and thriller fiction (not to mention newspapers) to feel comforted by my own amateur psychology :-S
-
Pork, that's good to know. There have been no further contacts so I think I'll hold this in my back pocket.
-
Yes, I have saved the voicemail and will take your suggestion to transcribe it or see if it can be downloaded in some was, as or system purges voicemail messages after 30 days.
-
A follow-up: I did send the letter as described above and I got a rude follow-up voicemail message that left me a little unnerved. His last sentence was "*(&(D you all." I'm sure others of you have heard worse, and as the days go by i'm le…

You're right, Parabeagle, it's just been awhile since I've encountered someone who was so unsuccessful at hiding it... or wasn't trying to. I would have thought someone with his job history would know that was the kiss of death. Maybe he conclude…

Good comments, all. Thanks. Regarding required court appearances, I feel for people who didn't choose the course of action but I think we will proceed with requiring folks to use their paid time off available. I don't want to get into making the…

You'd think if consultants designed this they would have thought through all the pieces. We've done something like this at my company for 12 years. It's called Feedback to Supervisor, and everyone who wants to can provide it. When we first …
-
Pork, have only so far done what is required to receive an H1-B visa, which is as you probably know is a matter of posting, not of conducting a full scale search. You raise a good point about the search process. I am aware that there are several …

Thanks, Gene, I am interested in what others do so I can set our policy.

My apologies to Old Fogeys everywhere! x:D

You're right, of course. He has mentioned it to two people as far as I know, we are close work colleagues, so I think it's his way of trying out the idea in advance of floating it more broadly. We are an organization that describes itself as mak…

Christy, when I tried this link i got a "specified server could not be found" error message. x:-(

How many people in HR and how large is your company? Does your company have a paid time off pool or separate accounts for vacation, personal, sick? What is your contribution formula for health plan for individual, family, part time and full time? …
-
Thanks, you all have given me some food for thought. It's interesting to hear that some feel as though the specific issue presented is not necessarily requiring HR direct action. If the principals were different I would take the approach of invol…

Your responses prompt another question. If person A calls and asks the receptionist "Does Caroliso work there?" it's simple to say "I'm sorry, we do not verify employment by phone." But Person A could as easily call and say "I'd like to speak with…

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks. Good to know if I sue a working deadbeat and win, I have recourse to get my cash if s/he is less than thrilled about paying me. I thought it was harder to get a court order to collect from an employer.
-
Okay, Gene, so I'm now showing my ignorance. Is being "served" with a garnishment order what a court would do to ensure that, say, a court-ordered garnishment for child support is received? Can others (besides the obvious... IRS, federal student l…
