AS Gillian said, it CAN be done, but it so fraught with complications that we've found the best and safest thing is to just say no. She can get an extra job on the weekends if she needs extra cash. If she were non-exempt and wanted to pick up a fe…

Oh, she will, and I guarantee you that after all that work there will still be no twenty-somethings admiring my you-know-what, as they do for DJ.

I made the classic mistake and sent my wife that stupid bike link. Now I'm signed up for a bike rally on June 19th in Philly. So instead of kickin' back in the shade after a game of golf with a few cold ones I'm going to be riding around with my t…

I can't...I work in the city and come in from Jersey. The Blue Route (495) runs around the city on the Pennsy side. Thanks, though.

DJ, what's amazing to me is that my 42 mile car ride to work often takes about as long as your 27 mile bike ride to work. Man, I'd love to be able to do that. Hmmm, I wonder how far I'd get on I-95 before a truck would launch me into orbit?
-
27 MILES?!?! One way?!? Sweet Jesus and General Jackson. You're a better man than I am. I'd consider 27 blocks, maybe.

Bah, humbug. To me it's all part of the wimping of America. The next thing you know we'll lose even more of our porno industry to off-shore interests. Goofing aside, I do think that it would be quite a stretch to extrapolate individual or collect…

They CAN'T be forced to work on it. They have the freedom to walk right out the door and never look back the instant they feel uncomfortable. But that's NOT what people will do...they will want it BOTH ways. They want their paycheck, but will als…

I'm not sure what a signed release is going to do for you since we're talking about an emotional response, which could change five minutes after the release is signed. I think there's a big difference between hard core x-rated material and stuff th…

COBRA is a Federal statute, however if I were you I would go to this site... [url]http://janus.state.me.us/legis/statutes/26/title26ch0sec0.html[/url] Turns out there's lots of interesting labor law in Maine.

I also work for a non-profit. The big problem in the non-profit world is that credentials are everything, and ability is nothing. The only thing you need to run a Mental Health division is a Master's or Ph.D. in counseling or clinical psychology..…

The answer to your question is that you haven't done anything wrong. The problem is that you want to run a HR office and your management sees HR as clerks rather than business partners. You have to either live with that, and hope you can change so…

Well, I for one do NOT use GNeil. Of course, we're horribly out of compliance, so I am going to contact them today and get the situation squared away. Thanks.

It sounds like she violated rule #1 at any health care facility: she was negligent and caused the death of a patient in her care. So don't worry about the lack of documentation. Progressive discipline need not be followed if the offense is egregio…

Your poor Mom. I feel bad for her, and for you. All the choices will be hard ones for her, and the reality is that she may very well feel that the path of least resistance will be to do nothing.

>Poeple will only get help when they are ready, >not when others want them to get it. And some people will NEVER get help until it's too late. A sad fact of life.
-
Oh, there's no need to apologize. I understand completely how stressed you must be right now. I guess your question sounded a little odd to me because I work in a union environment, and coupled with our State law means that our files are probably…

So do you have a State reg that allows them to see their med file?

If you end up allowing it as sick leave (and I agree with the poster who said that if she has documentation from her doctor stating that she needs 6 weeks to recover you should allow it, but only in the absence of a clear policy) don't forget to cou…

Even if you are completely neutral....functioning as a passive witness only...you will still be seen as the Angel of Death. The very fact of your presence generally means bad things will happen. As one of our EE's put it when she saw me walk in th…

If you are terminating for misconduct you would write "terminated for misconduct" on the notice.

God, I hate stuff like this. It's like when there's a company function and all the HR people have to dess up in stupid costumes in order to "get people excited." Why is it our job to look like idiots? How about just circulating a directive memo o…
-
First you have to verify that the EE is allergic to the animals, which means that he/she needs to get tested, unless the symptoms are so severe that there's no question. Are there animals in EVERY residence? It would be great if you could offer a …

Yup, nothing expedites the healing process like filing endless piles of paperwork. It's miraculous, really.
-
That is not insubordination. Insubordination occurs when you give a reasonable....I say reasonable...directive and the EE says "no" and then does not carry out the directive. If the EE said "no," BUT still carried out the directive, that would als…

Actually, in PA all wages are due on the next regular payday after termination.

See, I'm one of those cynics (or am I a realist?)who thinks that since we don't live in Soviet Russia, pretty much everything everyone does is for personal gain. My best friend is scheduled to come home this week from Iraq having just spent his SEC…

I have to agree with Popeye in that I don't see how Rockie's person is "abusing" the system. There are always extra duty assignments for the purposes of training, (you want them to be good at their jobs, right?) and keep in mind that it takes about…

Yes, you do need to accommodate a request for time off to observe a religious holiday, or be in violation of Title VII. The only way around that is if the accommodation would pose an undue hardship on your business.
