This case was decided on the Commonwealth Court level. Believe it or not, those idiots said that employees still retain the right to cross-examine while employers do not, UNLESS the employer is represented by an attorney. The big problem for me is…

You don't have to be an attorney to attend a UC hearing for your company, but ONLY an attorney retained by the employer has the right to cross-examine witnesses or make a closing statement. The ruling is based on the argument that engaging in cross…

That's the absurdity in all of this. If the employee refuses to answer the question we are empowered to answer for them because the Feds have said that every employee WILL be slotted into a Gov't approved category...even Tiger, if he were so inclin…

What is this "Other" category and where does it appear on the EEO-1 report? We are not permitted to write in "other" when reporting the race, gender and/or ethnicity of our employees. EVERY employee must be reported, and must appear in ONE of the …

If you're tracking it for EEOC reporting you ARE allowed to guess, based on your best eyewitness assessment. However, I agree with the folks above who simply ask the applicant whom they identify with. There's absolutely nothing insensitive in your…

When you say "filled out paperwork" what does that mean? For our folks, their official date of hire is when they go through Orientation and fill out paperwork. In your scenario, at my company that person would be a new employee, and so would have …

Yeah, and since he's a geek you'd better change his passcodes now and lock him out of your systems until the matter is resolved.

Don't be misled. Since you're a public employer, your Probationary policy will NOT shield you from liability no matter how carefully it is worded. If you fire someone in week 2 of their employment for exercising their First Amendment rights you ca…

Check 29 CFR 825.308 to make sure your request is legal.

Ah, jeez that's okay, I understand. No harm done...'cept my bruised ego, which I'm sure can be cleaned up with the right therapy.

But why was MY post deleted? All I said was that Pork was anti-Beef, which seems pretty self-evident when you think about it. Sheesh.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-17-05 AT 08:29AM (CST)[/font][br][br]In order to stay within my company's policy, I simply write "Mr./Ms. (blank) resigned in good standing on (date)". I only do that because of the policy we have. …

Check your state regs in regard to Worker's Comp as well.

Unless they outrank the decision-maker at the corporate office, no. However, they can always utilize their chain-of-command and plead their case. Why would the HR manager be involved with blocking a transfer?
-
I assume you're a private school and not affiliated with MPS. Even so, you must have a WC carrier. Was the initial injury reported to WC?

THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO DO!! And everyone thought I was nuts!

AND she can collect Unemployment, depending on whether or not the severance offsets UI. Every little bit helps when you're struggling to get by.

[url]www.eeoc.gov[/url] is an excellent source of statistics.

Oh, I agree with you, Don, but I still think she should have sought legal advice before resigining. It wasn't against the law, but it's obviously NOT a very bright idea to retaliate against an HR person for reporting suspected discrimination. Hey,…
-
It's a darn shame that you pulled the trigger way too soon. You should have immediately sought legal advice before quitting, just to fully understand your options. Good luck in your search. Hey, WalMart needs HR folks too.
-
Yeah, I understand, but my point was that this kind of personal information could be damaging, and so the poster is quite correct to give a lot of thought in how to explain the gap.

I lost out on a job a few years ago when I casually and stupidly mentioned in the interview that I was essentially a single parent to two kids. As soon as those words escaped my lips the entire tone of the interview changed, and I was ushered out o…

Way to go, Larry.

This would be a great one to look up, but off the top of my head I would say that you still have a requirement to OFFER the benefit, which of course the former EE can turn down at her discretion as her situation dictates. I see that as a separate i…

I agree with Gene, and would add that even if you let him resign he could still claim to the UI office that you coerced the resignation, and could win benefits based on that. Stick with the truth of the matter.
-
Don, if your state no longer issues the little blue markers, but just the license plates, doesn't that mean that it's issued to the vehicle rather than the person? The blue markers are portable, which makes sense if the designation applies to an in…

Let me guess: does PFL means Persoanl Family Leave, or something like that? I swear, SHRM should just go ahead and offer a specialized curriculum and certificate for California. But hey, more jobs for Jersey is fine by me.

I don't see how the little party is an issue of fairness. If she was given certain benefits that others were not while pursuing her degree THAT would be unfair, but even so, how is she accountable for the decisions of the people above her? It seem…
-
If she had picked up a chair and thrown it across the room in front of 20 witnesses she could still run down to the EEOC and file a charge....so don't let that be your guide. Instead, weigh your respose against the offense committed, the soundness …

I found myself nodding my head in agreement until it struck me that your definition of "senior" might be a couple of decades shy of mine. So just what age do you consider "senior?" If you consider the advent of the video game "Pong" the dark ages …
