An employee directory is a great idea, provided that it only contains information relative to positions within the company. You should never include personal information of any sort. It is not a company function to foster personal relationships.

I agree completely. Appropriate action should be taken to correct the supervisor after an investigation determines what happened. However, I still do not think that the EE was harassed. Workplace harassment has to be severe and pervasive, does it…

I agree that you should investigate promptly and take appropriate action based on your findings, but I do not believe that one stupid comment by a supervisor rises to the level of harassment.

Really interesting thread. I hadn't thought of the tax problems, 'course it was all I could do to file mine on time. Man, it seems like every day in this field there's a new problem to solve. I swear, HR is the best job in the world.

If he's the sole owner of the company and will abide by all laws and policies governing employees I don't see why it can't be done. Why does it bother you? She's an employee like you who's assignment is to watch the owner's kid. What's the big de…

You're never going to prevent people from reading between the lines. They are always going to see a difference between someone who leaves on good terms and someone who shows up for work at 8:00, is pulled into a meeting, and suddenly disappears for…

The WC claim has to do with a different company, and as far as weeding out documents, they said they want the entire file, soup to nuts, so that's what I thought I'd send. I just wanted to find out what a reasonable charge would be because it's a r…

At our last contract negotiation (2001), the union wanted "Secretaries Day" inserted into the holiday package, even though we have a relative handful of secretaries, so we tend to avoid these so-called holidays. Yet another reason to resist unioniz…

I'm not sure where you're getting that 21-hour rule. If she is "salaried" as defined by FLSA, and she works ONE hour a week (or shows up but does no work at all) you are obligated to pay her full salary, but that might be a bargain for your company…

It's not "her" signature in the same sense that she could sign her name to a Christmas card and write anything she wants. The entire email.... signature and all...is company property, and so the company (university) can establish and enforce guidel…

Only lawyers are embracing this insanity because they have the most to gain. The UC Board has appealed the decision to the State Supreme Court, which has not yet heard arguments. In addition, the legislature is drafting a law. In the meantime, I'…

Yes, they are mentioned in the new regs, but as an exemption. If you're asking if sole owners are allowed to cross examine witnesses and make closing statements without having to drag along an attorney the answer is yes.

Where is the tangible loss for him to justify a charge of discrimination? It doesn't sound like he was fired. Was he demoted? Did he lose money or status of any kind? If he did not lose anything I don't see how the charge can be sustained.

And even though you do not formally offer other types of leave, allowing her to take an unpaid personal leave of absence for a set period of time may be seen to be a reasonable accommodation for the purposes of ADA.

I guess it really depends on where you went to finishing school.

And if flatulence is an issue, I wouldn't order black beans and rice in Miami.

So what if you would find that out? Would you bar all females from conducting dinner interviews with male candidates? It's just an interview, it's not a date.

Never COULD behave in school, or never WOULD? And where's my "Peace" at the end of your post? I think I've earned it. Hey, if I were a control freak I wouldn't have lasted more than five minutes in my marriage. Not to belabor the point, but I do…

See the first sentence in post #8, which advises doing nothing. Don, you also advised not to "blabber" to the school officials. My opinion is that kids that age don't have to be specifically told not to surf for porn sites while visiting a place o…

As a middle-school teacher in a former life, and the parent of two high-school students, I can tell you that I would absolutely want to know if one of my kids did something that inappropriate. I'm not saying that those kids should have their heads …

I don't agree that demotion is impossible. What is impossible is simply lopping the guy's head off without going through a lengthy, tedious process that demands a lot of supervisory time, patience and of course documentation. I'm sure you have a p…

You mean you wouldn't ask him what the heck he did to land in jail? You think that's irrelevant???? So there's no difference between landing in jail for rape and landing in jail for protesting Apartheid back in 1977?

From an HR perspective I think the whole thing could have been handled with a strongly-worded, directive memo....to yourself from yourself, e.g; "You will have an adequate amount of milk pumed and bottled by (insert timeframe)." "Failure to do so m…

Does your state have a "Megan's Law?" If so, his name and address are going to be registered and published, which could have a tremendous impact on employee morale, along with the standing of your business in the community.

I agree completely. Thanks to you all. I will split my million dollar winnings with you as soon as I collect it from my colleague.

Masks???? You mean gas masks?? Like the troops have in Iraq??
