It's not hard. I started when I was over 50 years old. Immersion programs are wonderful - where else can you go for a whole week of instruction for around $200 plus $16 a day room and board with a family who won't speak English even if they know h…

Well, that's certainly the predominant point of view, at least judging from this thread. Perhaps the bank is prostituting. Maybe the Dallas School Board is, and the requirement that HR people some places in Pennsylvania speak Spanish is prostituti…

No, the bank isn't requiring that you conform to Spanish speakers. It is just taking care of business and their Spanish speaking customers.
-
In my opinion, the school board thinks that the requirement/preferance will help the principals deal with the practicalities of running a school. The "they must learn our language, assimilate into our culture etc. etc" is not realistic. Every imm…

That means "I kiss the donkey".

Nope, a couple of points for you.

Your Spanish needs some brushing up.

I would have taken an extra step or two as well,especially given 16 years of employment. I would be unhappy though if there was warning ahead of time. Failure to turn in paper on time happens all the time, whether it is enrollment forms, performanc…

The employer gets to state what the job requirements are and you have enhanced that with the job description statement. It is always a good idea, though, to make a final attempt to resolve the issue. As stated in another reply, making a statement …

The preceding post is it in a nutshell. It is the Board's job to fix the problem. All you can do is bring it to their attention.

My suggestion is that you go to Barnes and Noble and buy any, or many, of the books that provide the "best" questions as part of the "how to get a job" set of books. Not only will you get the questions, but the answers as well. I'm not trying to b…

There's nothing much to do, other than walk the supervisor to the car if the supervisor thinks that the actions are threatening and advise the employees to ignore the E-Mails. Usually, the lack of attention from the employer will cause the problem …

No, the probationary period is not a time free of all the protections available to those in a protected class.

Herd 'em up and move 'em out. Working with disfunctional groups is effective only when the people in the group see some benefit to getting along.
-
This is Ca. and ALL recruiting and selection records are to be maintained for two years.
-
The retention period is two years in California. The rest is to decide what is best for you and do it the easiest way that you can. If you have a bunch of off-site managers doing this, expect that there won't be the degree of completeness that you…
-
No, but it gave me my first clue about people who aren't test specialists making assumptions about what test scores mean.
-
I once worked for an employer who used the Wonderlic. My boss thought that if you scored 15 you could qualify for assembly, 20 or more machine shop trainee, less than 15 nowhere. To test his theory he gave it to the supervisors - the lowest score …

It really isn't an investigation situation. There would certainly be a problem if the relationship was one which could create a conflict of interest. If so, it is one of dealing with the possible violation of company ethics policy and that means a…

There is nothing to do other than to talk to the supervisor first - is what we have been told true?Is this consensual? If so, you do understand the problems that can be caused by supervisor/employee relationships, don't you? You do understand the c…

They may have the legal obligation to audit the drug test program of subcontractors and perhaps be held liable for their performance. While it is the Federal Transit Authority, instead of DOT, the Transit District where I hang out part time has tha…

Of course. Performance re. safety is the same as performance in any other area of their job. In Ca. required Injury and Illness Prevention programs state that the plan MUST include disciplinary action for safety violations.
-
Between the time you started researching and actually publishing, the book became out of date. There is a new law somewhere.
-
Yep, unless you have a company policy which provides a greater leave of absence for some reason. Some organizations have LOA policies for illness that provide for more than 16 weeks leave.
-
Some of these might as well be finished by the time west-coasters show up, but agree with every one else.
-
Maybe deal with it like you would an employee who is being asked to leave. Take him to the managers office and ask him not to come back because his behaviors are not appropriate. This happened recently to my daughter who works in a bookstore. She…
-
No to this, although it doesn't violate any law that I know about. I do know of a situation where information contained in such a directory, led to the stalking of an employee when the information got outside of the company to the employee's ex. T…

Not change the job to a higher level because the job is what it is with the qualifications that you have determined are appropriate. If it important to reward people for higher education levels or to increase chances of retention, you might want to…

HR should also inform managers that gossip about a terminated employee, especially when the termination is one of the juicy ones that encourage gossip (did you know John was let go because he was caught in the closet with Susy), sometimes leads to d…
