Did I miss something? Yrunvus are you referring to post 26?
-
I recall that thread, back in January right? Interesting reading.
-
LV if your intent is to keep the rookies from being misled, then why not say "I disagree. In my experience xyz..."? No big whoop if you disagree, but, like some other posters have mentioned, jumping in with gun's blazing over someone else's post i…

Don - I want to encourage you to not delete your responses. If what you say is unpopular/offensive/whatever to someone then SO BE IT. No one and nothing ever grows, learns, changes or is enlightened by sitting in a room full of people that pat eac…

What is AAF? Asian American Female? African American Female? I've never seen that acronym before (but I'm an HR newbie still so that doesn't mean anything).

I didn't think he was attacking the person making the complaint, not even when I took your advice and reread the post. I felt he was taking a straight forward and direct approach. He mentions he's leary of the posting since it's an ee posting on a…

LV, Of course Don can speak for himself, but I interpretted his words in this way: When a complaint rolls in, an investigation needs to be done. An HR person needs to investigate to see if something really occurred or not...not just believe the co…

AND less carbs to boot! x:D

80-120K does seem pretty steep...I wonder if we are talking about a base + comission position? That might throw a monkey into the wrench.

Butt in and kick some butt...I'm writing that one down for future use! x:)
-
Lorrie, I don't know if it will help, or if you have already tried this...but perhaps you could pull together some information on workplace stress, workplace violence even, burnout, work/life balance and have it at the ready when you speak to the ow…

Unless the nonexempt ee's are under 18, at least in WA and OR. x:)
-
I still wouldn't write the letter unless I stated he was paid for a vacation day.
-
I agree. Sounds like the guy is trying to get someone to pay him "lost wages". You can't really claim "lost vacation day" can you? x:)

Just found this site: [url]http://www.rmis.rmfamily.com/sites/securviole.php[/url] Looks like you have to have a subscription to it, but you didn't expect any of this to be free, right? x:) The NIOSH website suggested contacting the American Psychol…

This isn't playing psychologist. I said "Of course, it's not like it would be major rocket science or anything but it might help if you're just trying to get an idea of where your ee's stand on these issues."
-
I googled it but can't find any actual templates or anything. Perhaps you could make a list of the warning signs of ee violence or signs of stress and make up your own questions around those. Then you could "score" the survey depending on the answ…
-
Many questions: 1. Could you please turn off the caps lock? 2. Before the ee was discharged where were they working? (as in, what type of business are you in) 3. As I understand from your post, she was fired and then wrote the company a letter stati…

Problem statement: Laws change fast. Our handbook hasn't been updated in 9 years. If we hire and fire per the policies and procedures within the handbook, we are putting ourselves at legal risk if it is outdated. If we expect our employees to abi…

Lots of advice here on this tough issue. My only two cents is, if you document the whole "war paint" thing, don't refer to it in your documentation as "war paint". x:)
-
What is it with ee's who want to complain to HR but then not have us do anything? We're not two friends sitting down to gossip at lunch - we're an HR professional and an ee with a complaint that could be evidence of some serious legal issues. Hell…
-
Anything you do, I would recommend doing it company wide so that there are no discrimination issues. I would recommend (to any company really, for all positions) a thorough background check process and adding a tag line to your ads such as "All emp…

Hold the phone. JM, good for you for giving the heart to heart and offering help and good for this ee who wanted and tried to change. That being said, it is perfectly fine to want to change in December and not have the hang of it by March. If s…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-25-04 AT 11:48AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Don - "Background check" at my last company meant criminal check, credit check (depending on position), and SSN verification. It did not mean reference check (whi…
-
Sounds like you need a faster background checking company. Many out there to choose from. I used a local one when I worked in Vancouver, WA and they had it back to us sometimes the same day. Usually took 24 hrs though. You can ask for SSN's on a…

$36 per day at one company, $50 per day at another

Howabout "Operator with Pizzaz", or "Supreme Being Operator", or "The Operator Who Needs No Introduction"? OR you could even go with "The Artist Formerly Known As Operator". x0:)
-
Is that what it's called, "the useless detail disease?" Finally, a name for it! Now if only there was a prescription I could suggest for people who have it to look into.... 8-}
-
DUDE! What is up with the stink-fest? I just don't get people who don't realize or care that they REEK. I mean, I understand if someone has a medical issue and can't help it, but if it's just plain old BO from not washing body or clothes I just d…

I've always wondered that too Lisa. Remember when the guy who played Dr. Green on ER was on Northern Exposure as the guy who never left his bubble house? The comment about organic compound - good to know! I bet you kick butt at Jeopardy. x:-)
