Number one - HR isn't the retention department. We can aid retention with good recruiting, selection, new employee orientation practice and fair compensation, but those are far less important than the management and communication style of direct su…

Then there is nothing you can other than protect yourself. Write a memo to your management to formalize your concerns and keep a copy in case you ever need it.

True, but it is only the HR person in the company that can determine whether it is "petty" or not, and a good one will know what to do when that determination is made.

There are a couple of threads going which illustrate differing philosophies of HR. One is that HR doesn't get involved in this stuff and the other that it does. Both are right - it depends on how the company views the role of HR in facilitating th…

Whether HR gets involved or refers to the supervisor is largely dependent on the role that HR has played. What is described is poor supervisor skills, though. Maybe you could plan some supervisor skills sessions and talk about privacy in that neut…

No, use severance only when the company makes the separation decision and if there is a consistent policy. Most organizations restrict severance to lay off situations.

Can't change your mind - likewise.

Yep, I know all that, and the reason I am in the other camp is that I see no reason to be adversarial - attorneys do enough of that - and most of the time the file doesn't have much in it anyway, and the guaranteed subpoena (because we have signaled…

With the same spirit, the least you could do is get my name in the right order. Hugh is my last name. But, it's OK.

To summarize the earlier responses, they fall into two camps. Give whatever the employee wants, they'll get it at some point anyway and the other group who says give nothing and make it hard for the opposing attorney. I am in the former group, esp…

Sounds like this person is setting up gravy train. If some weeks she can only work 1-4 and be paid for 21, who is the beneficiary and who is being taken advantage of? Maybe you need a new employee.

If you hire him, please ask him to stay off I-15 south of the Riverside/San Diego County line and State Hwy 76. That would be appreciated greatly. There isn't much to consider other than is the decision not to hire him job related and the decision…

After reading the posts, here's my bottom line. 1. Marc's policy which states that employees should first talk to the harasser and tell 'em to knock it off is a good policy. It does not get the company off the hook, though, because there are many …

Ditto.

If you want to get involved in this from a control point of view, you will be stretched even thinner. Perhaps a better way is to convince the COO that you have something to offer that will result in better hires and then train the managers in inter…

It isn't a protected classification based on federal regulations, but check your state regs.

Yes, and use the example, with date and time, to demonstrate the words that you use.

No, it isn't. It is an additional requirement. The work force analysis stuff is the same, the salary (in the form that it requests) and tenure information is new. You should check out their website.

Here's a new wrinkle in the AAP world. A few years ago the OFCCP announced that they would be sending AAP surveys to the contractors and subcontractors. The last time I looked at their website there was a lot of information about the surveys, but …

Just one thing to add, and it applies to employers where both parents are employed for the same employer. The leave is provided to the parent who first requests the leave. It is the employers option whether or not to extend the leave to the second…

Hello, Gillian, it's been a couple of days since you posted, so welcome. From Gillian3. For the rest of you, here is a riddle. Gillian is my daughter. Gillian is alive. Gillian posts on a forum. Is Gjack my daughter?

ASTD. I think that stands for the American Society of Training and Development.

No, I don't think that you are overreacting. Sorry, but I don't have anything positive in terms of fixing the problem. Unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done about family relationships, especially when the GM is part of the relationship…

Well, out here where we have been exposed to another type of cuisine, it is quite alright to sop up stuff with a tortilla. A folded up tortilla does wonders with remaining salsa and mole (pronounced mole-a)- that's the spicy, slightly chocolaty fla…

Maybe times were different in the past. As Parabeagle said this was decades and decades ago.

Either one, it's just the concept that's important.

Sorry to be late, but out doing other things. Does wearing a bib have any impact on any of the above?

Going along with Gene, I think that kids learn by telling them that what they did was not acceptable and next time (fill in the blank). This is what we do in progressive discipline and it works the vast majority of the time. If the school expects …
