I'm more of a cold blooded SOB, so I think that if you did right by him while he was in your employ you are not now obligated to "intervene." The thing I would be most concerned about is security at your place of work. Often times the folks who sa…

If he's exempt and he only misses part of the day attending the hearing, but works the rest of the day, you'd have to pay him the full day anyway under FLSA, no?

Very good point. It doesn't apply in this case, (single, no kids) but a good point nevertheless.

Thanks to one and all for your input. I agree that the whole thing is between the employee and the Feds. I just wanted to make sure we were covering all the necessary bases.

How would the employer talking to a lawyer change the employee’s decision to quit? I think the employee has a right to quit if he wants to. The thing I would do additionally is write up a time line while it's still fresh in everyone's memory clear…

The real answer as to why it's okay for them is that Case Managers are a dime a dozen while good IT people are much harder to come by, but I guess you shouldn't share that with them. I don't think they're comparing apples to apples. The IT guy is …

"Kraut" would be disparaging, although since I am of German descent and "in the club" so to speak, I am allowed to be disparaging of my own people. I didn't write that rule, but I've observed it in action many times. "Crout" is part of my last nam…

I think the idea is that there's a difference between referring to an individual as "amigo" and referring to an entire group of people as "amigos." Beyond that, I think it's quite possible that the term itself CAN be used disparagingly, but that's …
-
Perhaps if you used "Hispanic" or "Latino" you might not get weird looks. It's just an idea.
-
I assume your use of "amigos" is intended as a term of respect and not pejorative in any sense, correct? As someone who is married to an "amigo" I'm a little sensitive to those things. Anyway, there is nothing you need to do differently in regard …

When is her next evaluation due, and has her job description been revised?

Too bad you didn't let him go when he refused the additional training, and before he filed the ADEA claim. Well, the thing is, "attitude" IS behavior. What you need to do is sit down and list the all the overt, observable behaviors that communicat…

If it is Federal, try calling the US Attorney's office to find out what he's charged with. The EE should also know who arrested him, and you can try contacting them. I wouldn't go by what's in the newspaper. If they give you any indication that h…

Excellent! Thanks....I remember the thread now. Oh man, I can't wait.

Hey, if Yale and Harvard were good enough for the President they should be good enough for y'all. Don, I need a recommendation from you for a great place for ribs in the New Orleans area, which I will be visiting in the early spring. Any suggestio…

I guess she missed the word "Accreditation" at the bottom of the U of P home page. Turns out they are accredited by the same body (North Central Association) that also accredits Harvard, Princeton and Yale....but perhaps they don't count in Mississ…

Because the US Department of Education sets the standards that the accrediting bodies must adhere to when they, in turn, accredit any given college or university. Yes, there are many, many bogus educational facilities out there that are nothing mor…

Do not confuse them with the fictional universities that offer a degree for "life experience" (and a specific amount of money) and are not recognized by any genuine accrediting body. U of P is a fully accredited University and according to my wife …

Good for you, Elle! EEO and OSHA are no big deal, and if they don't kill you they will make you stronger.

Maybe your crystal ball tells you he won't change, but did you offer him training and if so did he refuse?
-
I don't know you, so it's quite possible that you ARE a weenie, but that doesn't mean you don't have a valid point of view. I don't see anything here that can't be resolved with an apology, ASSUMING that your manager genuinely wants to change his b…

Wow. If the so-called "economic reasons" apply only to the woman over 50 you'll never be able to prove the action wasn't taken because of her age and/or gender. You're really setting yourselves up for some big problems, but maybe that's what your …
-
It's only illegal if she was given the pay cut BECAUSE she's a woman over 50. If she has some serious performance issues you'll be okay PROVIDED you can supply adequate documentation that she was aware of the issues and was given a fair chance to b…

I think your question was if this is compensable time under the FLSA, and I don't think it is. The mandate to maintain a physical every two years comes from the State (by way of a Federal act) and so it is not company business. It is something the…

I have also seen company-sponsored fitness programs require a physical and doctor's certification for participation.

I doubt if a sign saying "use at your own risk" will save your company from any risk.

"After that, we decided it would be best to have him leave." Sounds like you fired him to me. If you asked him to leave it voids any resignation he may have submitted. I don't think you should contest UI, but if you do I agree with the advice to …

Does this person punch a time clock? If not, how are you accounting for the one-minute lateness? Have you ever disciplined/terminated other employees for similar lateness issues in the past?
