I included info on this during a training developed on generations in the workplace. This is called "helicopter parenting" and occurs because some parents just can not let the little darlings grow and/or go, and they must hover over them, even in…

Paul, you did a great job with the review. I am going to read the books. Thanks a lot.

Both should be advised that the conversations are not "off the record" as it pertains to a serious workplace issue. I often advocate conflict resolution techniques in these instances in which case there is a face to face meeting with the two and a…

I know you have finished with this and am sure your solution is just fine for you. However, our practice (rather than policy) is different. When we receive a proper termination of employment notice we do not "fire" the employee. This is done to pr…

But David, we have had people trip over purse straps, their own feet, and other things. Are you sure you want to ban pets because of that incident. The trainer should have watched where he/she was going, for goodness sake. LOL.

Stealing in the workplace is one of my pet peeves, Rocky. Still, I would not set up surveillance cameras in small places/companies because morale is sure to take a negative hit. I love peer pressure in situations like you describe -- small amoun…

OH, NO! It was better the way you did it. That way, the cleaning woman won't have to clean up the blood on the floor. Good job. LOL

Yes, specific determination is made state by state. To avoid confusion, here is the guidance for Michigan: "Employee shall not deposit employee's wages in bank, credit union, or savings and loan association without employee's written consent, obta…

The bank is correct. You may strongly encourage your staff and even offer incentives, however, if you have an employee who wants a paper check -- gotta do it.

What are the employer rights regarding transvestites in the work >place? You are allowed to hire them. Is it discriminatory to require men to wear men's clothes only, >including no make up, jewrely, etc? Yes The above is sort of to…

I know of no legal requirement to provide language (other than sign because this could address a disability) interpretation for a job interview. Should a Chinese speaking applicant come to apply, would you ask the same question? Now, if your lab…

We have had lots of fun activities here. One of the most enjoyable was having milk and freshly baked cookies for an afternoon snack. The smells (those slice and bake kind) and coziness was a treat for all. We have lots of tradesmen on staff and …

It is tempting to want to make the process more convenient, however, I would always use a certified lab for the drug testing, especially of minors. The suggestion of using a clinic with early/late hours and weekend availability is a good one. The …

What do you do when there is nothing to do? Give me some examples of how you see your role in the company? What kind of people do you find difficult to work with? What would your previous employer tell me about your work ethic? How do you like being…

You really have to play the hand you have been given. If the supervisor will not and has not properly documented performance, do not terminate based on performance. Listen to your legal advice. You do not sound like you are ready to terminate thi…

Well, an applicant would really feel welcomed with that kind of greeting! As HR professionals, we can lead the way in maintaining a diverse workforce. Although we are a small not-for-profit organization, we have other religions represented within …
-
You can not require a worker to work on a Saturday if their religion does not allow it. To do so would be discrimination based on religion. To not hire based on that reason would be the same discrimination. If the job description clearly states…

Don't even try to deny the claim! File the necessary reports and let the "claim" go forward. Additionally, I would certainly find some light duty assignments (almost anything) for this employee. It is much better to get them back to work and in y…

We are a small (46 employees) not for profit. Several years back we started having "Employee Appreciation Day" rather than the former Secretary's Day/Admin Asst. Day. It works better for us and is an acknowledgement of all. Usually manager's prep…

Thanks for the great responses. Yeah, I took a small break from the Forum for a bit -- it got really intense in here after the hurricanes. Sure missed everyone, so I am back, and have even visited the other site. You all have given me some good p…

I give our manager's copies of the resume and application when they interview, but like to have them back for shredding. If hired, the originals go into the personnel file which the manager would have access to. I can not imagine why it would pres…

There are so many good tools out there. Just plug in diversity and hit search and you will get more than you want. I have used a Kantola Productions video, Valuing Divesity at the Interpersonal Level ([url]www.kantola.com[/url]) 415-381-9363. Do…

The certifications are nice to have, and can make the difference to some employers. My best friend has her Masters and wanted to teach HR, but the college she applied to wanted a PhD. When they found out she was an SPHR, they accepted her based on…

Hey -- both kinds. Life Life Life

Everytime I leave you guys for a bit I come back to this kind of thread! Seems only a year ago I went out for surgery and came back to a whole new forum with new rules and procedures. Oh, yes -- that was a year ago. Well -- this has been an inter…

What a lovely goodbye post, Jill. Remember, when one door closes, another one opens. My very best wishes to you. We will hear from you later -- for sure.

If this matter has not impacted your workplace I would do nothing except to caution "my friend in law enforcement" about relaying information gained during the course of his/her work when charges have not been filed.

. . . and if the letter contained threats you can also get the postal inspectors involved.

Ditto, Gillian's response to you.
