Please do treat them like you would everyone else. I would ask him to remove the painted face when at work (whether there is a dress policy or not). It is not appropriate. If he claims a religious accommodation, have him provide verification and …

We do when we can, but some of our carriers have their own rules. For instance we offer part timers medical insurance at a prorated cost; but they are not eligible for the life and disability insurances as the carriers require a minimum number of w…

Wow - your form is a discrimination lawsuit waiting to happen! What in the world would birthdate/age and race have to do with qualifying for the position?

You are welcome. Legally, I know of no reason to not put the ss# on an application, but possibly because of the identity theft you would not wish to have it on. This is a fairly recent issue but an important one. More and more companies are using…

I suppose you could, but why would you? You have to pay for background checks, and until you at least see if the person is suitable, why get one. Additionally, you may be required to submit the report to a person you do not hire based on an unsatis…

Well I for one think Don can remain MR. HR ADVISOR (IMHO) for the forum. His advice is solid. While HR does not do the actual evaluations at my company, I do review each and every one (we are under 50 employees) to check for rating consistency an…

I think JEBtrois' posting is right on the money. Sounds like your Board may need training on their responsibilities. They do not have a "right" to view personnel records of individual employees and I can not imagine why they would be asking to do …

Lee2 makes a lot of sense to me. We revamped our appraisal system three years ago and it gets better every year -- because of the additional training we provide to the evaluators. Also, we include two oversights -- HR review looks for inconsistenc…

Well I am going to jump right in here -- the responses so far have been right on target. Objecting to braided hairstyles can be detrimental to your company and can lead to discrimination claims (some have already been won). That's the HR point of …

I agree wholeheartedly with s moll on this one. It is so important to not have last minute drama in these instances. We sometimes do not allow employees to complete their employment terms when they resign and for various reasons (including possib…

Absolutely great link. Thanks for sharing it.

This post warms my heart and confirms what your forum friends related -- if we do the right thing, there are no regrets. It is so wonderful that you gave your dad a most precious gift -- time together. It is easy to hear the relaxation in your ton…

Careful here. You can not dock her pay if she is exempt. If she no longer has paid leave time, you still must pay her her weekly salary. Whether she worked four hours or eight is not relevant. (I imagine that some companies may have a way of ta…

Yes, this is a difficult one. I would request that the CEO make the determination, however, would advise to have the wife get legal authority to have the checks given to her. She will have other matters to handle and will need a Power of Attorney …

We always transport when it is a "reasonable suspicion" test. It is best to use a company vehicle which is insured by the company policy. At times, however, I do use my personal vehicle and should something happen am prepared to have my insuranace…

Don, are you off probation yet? Want to hear what you advise. (BTW, I think I would stay out of it at this point).
-
Yes, ours is like Don's and faxed -- I want to see the report but the original can be mailed to me later. We suspend pending further investigation (most employees drive our vehicles). We have worked with a couple of cases, depending on the substan…

NO, NO -- NOT YET! I have something to say. I am an ISTJ (well, perhaps an ESTJ, according to the results -- because the I and the E were about equal). I took that to mean I can go either way, which is about right to tell you the truth. Good thr…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-16-03 AT 09:46AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Well, here comes a naysayer to photos of applicants or in personnel files. I do a newsletter which highlights employees and like Parabeagle always ask permissio…

Hey, JM -- please forget about it. How in the world can a "nice" guy lie, steal and have a bad memory for major events in his life? Good thing you found out sooner than later when the entire pallet of materials may have gone missing. Yes, we HR p…

Wow, sorry I am so late reading this thread. As a diversity trainer, you know I want a say. HRSage and Don hit it on the head -- respect and understanding is so much better than ridicule and exclusion. During this wonderful time of the year, let …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-18-03 AT 09:33AM (CST)[/font][br][br]When our building was renovated two years ago, we had to move in different parts of the building (and trailers). One of the more helpful packing hints was to have…

I would put a well-worded letter inside the bathroom(s) reminding all of the unsanitary nature and health risks involved in not cleaning up after an "accident" of this type (please, please be an accident). The only other time I have heard of this k…

I am impressed with the logic of the above response and applaud you. This forum is often awesome!

Good for you Miriam! That's sounds like progress.

If it is billed as a Company Holiday Party -- the entire company staff should be able to enjoy it. What a low blow to have the haves attend and the have-nots not only excluded but considered "disgruntled" when they object. Wow, sounds like they su…

Sometimes we all feel like going Uggggghhhhh!!!! So you prepared a wonderful presentation and now you can't give it! Turn that lemon into lemonade. You have information and that is always power. Go to the meeting prepared for anything. (Maybe o…

During the screening interview, I ALWAYS show the applicant a job description which contains the physical requirements for the job. I ALWAYS ask the applicant if they see any requirements which they are unable to fulfill or would require reasonable…

"Right or wrong, we all tend to gravitate toward those we feel comfortable with or who most resemble us. Someone considered radical will not fit in with the suits and ties of a conservative organization and vice versa." There is a wonderful fil…

And what about the guy who just yesterday told me that the reason he entered (speeding) through the exit only gate, was because he did not want his supervisor (whose office overlooks the building entrance) to see him arriving 15 minutes late! Is it…
