Thank you for replying. That helps me a lot.

I find it difficult to believe that gambling would be considered a serious health condition as defined by FMLA. Also, since he had already received a final warning on absenteeism, and I'm assuming never mentioned the need for FMLA leave during prio…

We also provide a telephone in the break room. In addition, we have one if the women's restroom/locker room. Our policy allows the use of cell phones during breaks and lunch. She just doesn't manage the calls. Thanks.

Thanks to all of you. I will keep you informed of the outcome.

Her first husband is trying get custody of their child. There is a restraining order against him due to some violence a couple of years ago, so they don't converse directly, but through the child. The child is getting of an age where he is playing…

We had a similar situation about a year ago. Most of the problem was due to poor/no leadership and management. The Team Leader, who had a lot of personal problems, was not able to improve her performance and eventually resigned. At that time we h…

Thanks Don.

No, we are paying the warehouse hourly rate. Under the collective bargaining agreement, when a Sales Delivery associate is off (ex. a personal day) they are paid the equivalent of 12 hours at the warehouse hourly rate. So, that is the rate we use …

Don, Thanks for the quick response. I was afraid that would be the case. I'd like to delve into this further. All of our Sales Delivery personnel are 100% commission and qualify under the outside sales exemption. When one of them changes a route…

I agree with the other posts. There isn't any sense in having a policy if you don't apply it consistently. We don't hire anyone who fails a pre-employment drug screen. If one of our current associates fail a random, they are referred to a Subst…

Thanks JM

Thanks to all of you for your input. This is a great forum.

Thanks for the quick response. There is no reporting relationship between the two individuals.

I have one. If you provide me with your e-mail address or fax number, I'll be glad to send it to you.

I don't think you should give your employees a gift and then ask them to give it away. Put your food collection box up, but leave it to each individual to chose what they want to do. Don't even make the suggestion. I support various charity/goodw…

If I were this employee, I would welcome the suspension with pay so that I would have time to meet with an attorney. The only way to protect the business is to get rid of Mom. I also work for a family business and I assure you that if one of the o…

We budgeted 5% for 2002. Increases are based on merit, with 5% being the maximum they can earn. We are still working on 2003. I will post when it's decided. We're in Ohio.

We are a beer wholesaler. Over the years we have gone from an open bar throughout the whole evening to two free drink tickets for each attendee, to last year when we offered cash bar only. Our party is also when we recognize service so we generall…

I've read that Europeans work to live, and Americans live to work. Based on the responses I've read in the forum, that is probably a true statement. I have cousins who are french. Their average workweek is 35 hours. Any hours worked over 35 are …

To add to HS response. If she has stated she is suicidal, I would notify her therapist immediately. I had this happen one time, the employee shared with another employee that she was going to shoot herself. I wanted to talk to her, but was concer…

I agree with Roberta and Rockie. Management jumped the gun. Put yourself in this employee's place. If she is innocent, she not only lost her job for no reason, but she will have a termination on her employment record which very well could prevent…

Hi Keith, I have a policy I can share. Just provide me with your e-mail address or fax number.

I think a lot depends on the circumstances of the offense. Was it a stupid prank or something more serious? Are there other factors that make you feel your other employees are at risk?
