Nietra, I don't know what to say about the laughing, have never seen that. The rest is in the range of expected responses, although it is curious that you didn't have anyone who was shocked that they were the ones being let go. If you're looking f…

Thanks, everybody. Good feedback. If anything interesting develops (on my end or theirs) I'll report back.
-
What you say makes perfect sense and is in fact what I did, now that I think about it. I was having trouble imagining why you wouldn't just say so the EE has passed away up front. But now that you mention it, if the person is calling because they …

Right and right, AJ. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thanks.

You know how it goes, PORK, sometimes it doesn't seem to be enough no matter what it is!!!

Very helpful to hear, thanks Don. I wouldn't have even thought about visits from the FBI.. yikes! Your comments remind me of an earlier comment that anything that is mandatory under penalty of something or other clearly says so on the document and…

Pork, yes, that's exactly what it was, the beginning of a background check for security clearance. it came by regular mail, and an identical form was mailed to the supervisor. There was a return envelope to the Office of Personnel or whatever I sai…

Each time, I sent the form back >with a request to see the signed release before >I completed the evaluative items, and never have >I received the release or any other follow-up. Interesting point, Whirlwind. I'll remember that next …

Good point, Moll. It's from theU.S. Office of Personnel Management and it's Form OMB # 3206-1665. It says "you are not required to respond, unless this number is displayed." Which it is, but nowhere is there a paragraph that describes what regula…

This best describes my situation as well. We are about 130 strong and recently had a complete reorg of our administrative structure. I used to report directly to President but he wanted to devote more time to development and less to operations so …

Shame on me but I laughed out loud at the last sentence of your post, Don. I bet if there were a thread called "unwelcome info included in cover letters" we all would come up with some doozies.

Beave, could you forward me a copy of your policy at [email]Caroliso@aol.com[/email]? Thanks
-
thanks, all, and Yikes, Margaret! I hadn't even thought of that. I think our rare instances of doing that would hold up, but nobody wants an all out audit!
-
I agree with the majority of the opinions above. It is a difficult position to be in, particularly if you have a reluctant manager, but the right thing to do is honor your hire offer to the recalled employee. I heard a similar story from a former …

Doesn't the EEOC require tracking of race and gender of applicants for the Affirmative Action Plan?
-
Thanks for answering, Pork. We are looking for descriptive conclusions we can draw from existing data, but you've presented some interesting ideas for survey data that would be of use down the line.

Our leave is called Family Care and Crisis Leave. Our policy predates and is more generous than FMLA. The "crisis" part includes paid time off for non medical emergencies, such as time someone might need to take off to wrap up issues related to s…

Oops, I posted the above before I saw that others had commented on the issue of dollar amount. Thanks for those, and other comments still welcome!
-
thanks, Hunter and Trinity. Any thought on level of increase? The job isn't a grade up from the existing, more likely a lateral position. 5 or 10%?

You guys have simply got to stop. My CFO walked in and caught me cackling over these posts, and I just didn't know where to begin to explain to her what I was laughing at. Who knew professional development could be so much fun.
-
Thanks for all replies so far. We have no no-solicitation policy, and this doesn't make me want to create one yet, so i didn't have that to stand on. I did a little third party investigating and found out that the tickets had been distribute…

I had a similar experience with sad results. An elderly friend of ours ("ours" meaning two close friends) was admited to a major area hospital for shoulder replacement surgery right after 4/16. She has had a love/hate relationship with her famil…

This example reminds me of a question I have as I am considering putting together a policy at my company. Normally one doesn't ask age in an interview, and our internship wouldn't have an age restriction except where the Mass. state laws dictate D…

Thanks, everyone. From your responses it's clear that even we, diligent HR staff that we are, have been a little loose with the information in a company that is fairly small and in which employees discuss their own health conditions freely, e-mails…

Thanks for the replies so far. I must say I'm surprised that almost everyone has proposed a solution I hadn't considered, letter vs. phone. I always feel like I owe folks a "live" response, whether it's to a potential consultant/contractor or a p…
-
Thanks for the feedback everybody. We do indeed have documented sick and FMLA policies, and I decided with you that this should not be assumed to be a WC issue but should be handled under the sick policy. Sarah returned today and seems to be doi…

Thanks, all. The only reason I could think of was that our our insurers require censuses (is that the right plural?) identifying zip code or state when we go out to bid. In this case presumably his zip code for both post office and for street are…

Thanks for your helpful answers. I will look at the web site mentioned and may contact the fire station a block away.
