"It is the intent of this policy to maintain a work environment free from the effects of alcohol or other substances that adversely affect employees’ job performance, work environment, safety of employees and the public, and undermines customer conf…

I agree 100% with Ritaanz. Same dilemma exactly. Some have shown significant improvement...some have me considering videotaping myself and running a continual loop of the same message over and over!

I was told during a recent audit that, although the practice of partial-day deductions is not permitted for exempt employees under the FLSA, it's something they rarely go after. The auditor said that even the DOL feels employers should not be requi…

We allow the employee to keep the miles as a perk for tolerating travel related headaches such as weekend travel, delays, evening/early morning arrrivals and departures ,etc. They are not taxed. A recent survey by American Express Travel Related S…

I agree with Gillian, however it appears there is another problem with your current system. We just went through a wage and hour audit & I was made aware that lunch breaks cannot be deducted if they last less than 20 minutes. In other words, yo…

I am not practicing HR in CA (thank goodness!), but having just gone through a wage and hour audit, I think I would play it safe. If the decision is based as you say on abilities, exp, and seniority (i.e. relative experience), I would title one eith…

The only such requirement I am aware of falls under our Drug Free Workplace Program (which is governed by Florida state law). It does require an EAP, however it does not have to be a formal program as generally thought of. It can be as simple as HR…

Does anyone know if there is any type of medical certification form that can be used so that doctors provide the necessary information to determine if the disability falls under ADA (such as the standard physician's certification for FMLA)?

Right to Work in Florida has been incorporated into the state constitution, which says that a person's right to work shall not be denied or abridged because of union membership or non-membership. The effect of this is to ban union contracts calling…

My question is this...How much is too much? If we all agree that occasional use of email for personal reasons is acceptable, at what point do we consider it abuse? Do not tell me that if they are getting there work done, it's okay. Clearly, their w…

The first accident was an improper lane change. Basically, he drove right into the side of another car. The most recent one, he was tailing too closely in the rain and when the car in front stopped he slid right into the rear. He was deemed at faul…

I have a related question. I just read in SHRM's HR Advisor that is is discriminatory to request an applicant's social security number pre-hire. This information may only be obtained post-hire. However, nearly all companies providing references req…

I have found the video series to be very helpful. They are quick, concise and packed with valuable information. They have the desired effect of alerting managers when a situation, request, complaint, etc., should be brought to the attention of huma…

We have sales representatives located throughout the country. Their travel policy states that hotel expenses will be covered for travel outside a radius of 50 miles from their home.
