It's called "360-degree feedback" and when applied properly, it is typically only one element of the manager's evaluation process. In other words, while subordinates get to, from their perspective, weigh-in on their supervisor's performance, their …

Question: "Can we legally ask her to......" Answer: You can legally ask her to do a lot of things including to clean out her desk/locker and depart the premises. The question is, what do you want to do with her? Geno

njjel, Some employers do practice a form of “compensatory time-off” to exempt employees in recognition that certain employees may deserve special consideration after putting in extra time on the job. However, as previously noted, this type of com…

I think that you will find that for issues such as at-will employment, the laws in the state in which the employee resides and works will trump the laws in the state in which the company is headquartered. Geno, SPHR

1099's notwithstanding, "Joe" and the "2 other guys" are employees for worker comp and tax purposes. If Joe brings his own bulldozer to work with him, the answer might be different. When the payer has control over what is to be done and how it is …

I clearly did not infer that Weingarten was applicable to the referenced set of circumstances. My point was that there are Board decisions out there that are counter to so-called conventional wisdom on matters of labor relations. While the Wagner …

"....just got word through the grapevine that one of our department heads...." I'm going to weigh in on the side that thinks some caution is in order here. You might want to consult legal council (experienced in NLRB case law) before you just ter…

Karen, I can’t add much to the previous posters’ observations concerning the certification’s importance and value. For whatever its worth, more and more employers seem to be making it a required/preferred qualification for the HR professionals the…

Kathy, The situation you have described sounds more like first-aid than meddling/trafficking in an employee's protected health information. It would be tempting to ask the overzealous supervisor what he would do if one of his employees had stopped…

catherine, You are correct; he was obligated at the time to give you advanced written or verbal notice. If the employee in question did not leave your employ for the stated purpose of military service, than I would think you have nothing to worry …

nietra, We use the state's (Maryland) point system. Potential drivers cannot have more than two (2) points on their driving records. Veteran drivers can accumulate up to three (3). Any DUI's or DWI's in the past five years instantly disqualifie…

HCA, A lot depends on the language of the contract itself. If the effective date of the entire contract has expired (or is due to expire) and proper notice of intent to re-negotiate has been served, absent contract language to the contrary, every…

njjel, In our case, just two -- myself and the director of finance who was chosen for her working knowledge of the agency’s policies and procedures and her uncanny ability to recall minute details. Obviously, one is not enough, but who and how man…

My understanding is that the DOL has stated that a timely first class mailing of the Qualifying Event (QE) Notice should be sent to the Qualified Beneficiaries (QB’s) last known address -- and that furthermore, (and this is the important part) emplo…

lhill, We have an established "Clean Driver" definition that we use to determine an employee or potential employee's suitability to drive for us. Employees with driving duties understand from the beginning that “discipline up to and including term…

Separate. We err on the side of caution and “red file” (separate medical file) anything and everything that is even remotely medically related to the employee. That means that in practice, in addition to all of the obvious documents such as drug s…

njjel, The physician’s note aside, the better question is, what are you hearing from the employee as far as when he/she plans to return. You are entitled to (and should press for) a little more succinct information. Unless the employee in question…

donieck, An employer's obligation to pay (or not pay) accrued leaves at departure is typically governed by the state law. I had a chart (which I can't put my hands on this morning that gave a brief overview of each state’s regulations). Predictab…

njjel, ??????????????? "...as if she works less than 21 hours per week will are obligated to pay her for the full 21 hours." If I understand your question, the answer is yes. geno

njjel, My initial thought may sound harsh, but since I’m sure that you have not discriminated against this applicant, simply ignore him. Think about the absurdity of having to justify all of your interview yes/interview no decisions? If you attem…

lhill, We use a check-off type form (including, of course the obligatory and ubiquitous space for "other") at application time. I believe that you will find that the concept of self-declaration is the key to your dilemma. You could (if you haven’…

Don, Form.-- what form? I would never profess to be a source of information or give advice for any state other than the one I reside in. As such, I certainly cannot speak for Massachusetts, but the state of Maryland does collect Affirmative Acti…
