I would do a general search under "Strategic Management." You could look in the HR Hero web site or SHRM site. Sounds like an interesting project. Good luck.

The short answer is "no". You started off your post by stating the EE had a history of poor performance and attendance, then went on to say that there's "very little" documentation. You need to understand that if there's no documentation there's n…

To answer your question, you'd have to check state law. Here in PA, only cash payments are considered when the UC office determines the level of benefit. Continuation of medical coverage is not.

Don is correct about the imaginative lawyers out there and the EEOC who may frown on pictures in the files. Our folks must have photo ID's, but we got rid of our old Polaroid and now use a digital camera. After issuing the ID's we store the images…

I can see their point. Suppose your city was noted for firearms or tobacco products? I think a good compromise would be to ship the samples to me, and I will ship the empty bottles back to you for inclusion in the baskets. Hey, which breweries ar…

I think that this situation will be a very valuable learning tool for you in your professional development. Don't beat yourself up about it, but it would be a good idea to learn from it. 1. Don't procrastinate on the termination. Often what …

I'd follow SMace's advice.

I would never allow an EE to go through ALL of their own file....only what is mandated by our State law. As far as compliance goes, that's an HR function. The new Principal has got a lot to learn.

You bet there is. It's the Personnel File Act of 1978 and you can find it at this site [url]http://www.dli.state.pa.us/landi/lib/landi/laws-regulations/llc/pfa.pdf[/url]

As a practice we never mix exempts with non-exempts. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I would not recommend it. It's confusing to our already far too confused fiscal office, and we certainly don't need any possible DOL problems. In regard to t…

What's a "prayer?" Now let's see, I used to know what a prayer was.....hmmmmm.

We've simplified things by never having any company event associated with any holiday. Our "Staff Appreciation Dinner" is held in October and out "Staff Picnic" is held in May or June. It's all kind of sad, isn't it?
-
I agree with Linda. If your State law is anything like PA you cannot take any adverse action because of the garnishment order.
-
Don is correct that you guys need to tighten up your system to prevent fraud, however, in this case if the EE can prove that he worked (as you admitted) then you should pay him for the time and then issue a discipline for not using the proper proced…

First I would let the GM resign. If you give in to nonsense like that he will co-opt the HR function as he sees fit. It's better to let him go now than create a monster. Second, your original plan with the EE was sound. A strong, professional re…
-
If you write that a promise was made, then you will have proved the EE's case. I would not acknowledge in any way, shape or form that ANY promise was EVER made unless I knew that to be factual. I don't even think that I would write him a letter ta…

We might consider such a policy if we weren't so certain that the union would go absolutely crazy. In the past, in a non-union setting, I have handled this informally by insisting that co-workers who have romances cannot be linked in the chain-of-c…

Who are providing access for? Employees or clients?

Tell your husband ixnay on the nionuay, unless he wants to get an earful. You're not gonna find a whole lot of pro-union folks at a SHRM function. I personally wouldn't marry a union member, but that's just me. Heck, a non-exempt status might nix…

I suspect that there are no regulations that would prohibit her rehire, but I'm with mwild on this one. Just the fact that she NCNS (that's the first time I've seen that used....I love it) would stop me from rehiring her, unless she had a compellin…

THEY FIRED YOU FOR THIS?!?! Holy cow. That really stinks. I'm very sorry. Find a good labor attorney right now and tell your story. The State might be a little bit disorganized, but there's GOT to be a licensing body at the State level that gov…

You need to check the State regs that govern your facility. I'm sure that your agency is licensed by the State. Call their regional office and request a copy of their regs. They should give you the guidelines for hiring and retaining people with …

It's a bad practice for precisely the reason you mentioned. A one-time event like your roof repair is very different than an on-going employment relationship.

What are the "other issues" with John Doe?
-
Interesting. If I hear you correctly, your IT people want to do random credit checks simply because they can. If it's on the table you really need to do your homework on the Fair Credit Reporting Act before recommending any course of action.
-
Why the heck would back dating be an option? Do you always fudge paperwork to cover up mistakes? Ask your employees for the correct information.
-
> Crout: When you get worked up, you sound just like me.< Hmmmmm. For a compliment like that I will risk the critical feedback.

Tardiness, schmardiness, now I'm reeling from E Wart's assertion that being late is part of the Hispanic culture. Are you kidding? What kind of a statement is that? As I alluded to earlier, I think that tolerance for the occasional late arrival i…
