You could remove them, or allow her to compose rebuttals and attach them to the documents. But as Don said, their value is dubious anyway.
-
You could always ban the use of all tobacco products on company property. Then the smokers would have to get away from the parking lot.
-
This is a question, though it may look more like a statement.....but doesn't it seem odd that you go through that whole procedure, then end up terminating the guy for "attendance?" Are you not allowed to terminate him for failing to produce the leg…

Yeah, but that situation could have occurred if the folks from that department met for a few beers every Friday night after work. Would you advocate establishing a policy that would not allow employees to interact with each other on or off the job? …

When they say "dancing" is that code for something more intimate? Anyway, If I were you guys I'd sever ALL connections with the company in regard to these activities just to get them off your back. Find another venue for your fund raising. Would …

What do their job descriptions state? What are the essential functions of the job? Unless, as Don suggested, you can slot them into a lower grade reflecting the less strenuous work, I would hold them to the jd's.

I believe the OSHA regs mention restrooms, but that's just off the top of my head. There are other folks here on the Forum much more well versed in OSHA than I am.
-
You said you re-checked the memo that went out and that employees were "highly encouraged" to attend. Was that the phrase used, or are you paraphrasing? To me "highly encouraged" means it's a mandatory meeting, but that's just my interpretation. …

>How do we confront the male employee while still honoring her wishes? The answer is you don't honor her wishes. Honoring her wishes is NOT the point of investigating the charge. Once a complaint is made the ball starts rolling down hil…

If the owner has not given you clear-cut parameters I suggest you submit your comprehensive report on time along with the bill for your services. Be brutally honest, make your best recommendations, then let the owner sink or swim and move on to you…

We do it 110% of the time.

Usually where there's smoke there's fire, but in this case it looks to me like you're inventing the smoke. And applying the patient policies to your employees doesn't make a lot of sense.
-
I hope those aren't real HR people. In any event, at the very least it's really dumb, and at the worst could set your company up for some legal trouble, depending on which state the office is located in.
-
Ah, didn't notice lakeperson was really Cal lakeperson. There you have it. I have NOT resurfaced. I have been here the whole time. I'm a man, NOT an envelope.

No, as you noted marc, unless it's protected activity under the NLRB, a private employer has no obligation whatsoever to protect or respect the first amendment rights of any employee...on the clock or off. According to our handbook, I can be fired …
-
There is no such thing as a "first amendment right of free speech" for individuals who work for a private employer. That concept applies to people who work for a government entity. Certain speech is protected under the NLRA, but that is limited to…
-
You're right, it's not fair, but unfortunately as far as the FLSA is concerned it's also perfectly legal. Your state may have additional laws governing this, but under the FLSA you can tell your workers that they will be working 168 hours a week, e…

Suppose a Board member speaks to an employee on a day off and that little meeting takes 15 to 30 minutes. Are you saying you won't compensate the EE for that time?
-
Are these employees non-exempt? When they're being ordered about by the Nazis....I mean Board members on their days off are they being compensated?
-
Are they being fired because they lack morals and ethics, or are they leaving on their own accord, and you feel the fact that they quit is clear evidence of a lack of morals and ethics? Rather confusing post, I must say.
-
If the charge was indeed dismissed, she answered your application question truthfully.
-
>Am I naive, or is loyality only limited to money these days? Additionally, are companies kissing off salary standards and making exceptions for the "star players"? If by "loyalty" you mean the willingness of your employees to maintain thei…

Isn't this what "due diligence" is all about? Once you have prior knowledge of an event or condition you are then liable for the consequences of that condition.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-22-05 AT 01:45PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Check your state law. In PA, for example, you cannot go below minimum. These posts come up all the time, and it's always a headache for the company to collect on…
-
It depends on State law. She may have to give them explicit permission to make that deduction, which would mean that she could refuse, and again, depending on State law, they might....I say might...not be able to retaliate. But you must check the …

The sense I get from reading various posts over the last year or two is that while men do order take-out (how elase could we survive?) we are less likely to have an episode like this, where the smell of something drives us to seek emergency medical …
-
Yeah, but you actually ATE the food, correct? That's concrete cause and effect. This business of the "smells" is just too nebulous. It reminds me of the Salem Witch Trials, where the judges relied on "spectral evidence," meaning demons ONLY the a…
-
What a minute. According to marc, all the experts on migraines have very little information as to what triggers an event. If that's true, then how can you establish a logical cause and effect for the purposes of discipline? It sounds to me that t…

Maybe she's allergic to working for a living. The answer to your question is no, it will NEVER stop. But, seriously, when she called you on the way to the hospital what was she looking for you to do? Did she request an accommodation? Has she sub…

We have quite a few people who work full time, yet qualify for assistance. A 40-hour work week at 8 bucks an hour is $320 a week. Try living on that in a major city, even without kids.
