The issue is the same, no matter the state. While the notations have no direct impact on the individual who is all of 21 years old, such notations, coupled with an absense of them on the appraisals of those over 40 could be used as evidence of disc…

I would try a private conversation first. If that doesn't work your approach might work, however, I would change the wording to reference controversial subjects in a generic way and add language about the work disruption, which is what you are tryi…

There is no such obligation in California. Say goodby.

There are some old threads on the topic of testing and you should review them. Testing is a problematic area and tests which try to make a logical switch from attributes to performance are especially so. You should research the Uniform Guidelines …

Ditto the above. What is the world is going on in Temecula?

Follow Theresa's advice and talk to your attorney. It is not a big stretch to imagine the first step in any litigation will be over the misclassification issue, a finding that he was really an employee, thus all the protections that we know so well…

You need to follow the sequence. Get the documentation from the employee, ask the employee if there are other witnesses and talk to them if there are, then ask the suspended employee for their side of the story. If the suspended employee denies it…

Wasn't.

New Mexico is a very nice state with lots of wide open spaces in which Copper can get lost, which he/she has apparently done. Contrary to what some people think New Mexico is one of the 50 states, not part of Mexico, although it was at one time. W…

It is hard to say what is going on, but I have a bias against forcing an employee who has been on the receiving end of an issue to sign anything that looks like a legal document. It is worse when the document seems to put some sort of control on th…

So long as you don't make hiring decisions based upon race, sex, national origin, etc. etc. etc. you are OK.
-
Stick with your funny feeling on this one. It may be OK, but on the other hand someone may be behind the scenes throwing rocks at the agreement. If more problems appear after you are telecommuting, find a job in Conn.

Darn good. Obviously the selection process is working so well that you only hire people whose main concern in life is a wage they like and only "to some degree" how they are treated. Just goes to show that people who care a whole lot about how the…

Get Love 'Em or Lose 'Em - Getting Good People to Stay by Beverly Kaye and Sharon Jordan Evans. The publisher is Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc. I bought one for each of our deans, managers and supervisors. The SHRM bookstore has them I believe.…

Yep, wage and hour is complicated in California. In my opinion, even if this were a disability and accomodation issue, there is probably not a valid alternative work week in place because vwindham has not indicated that the proper steps were taken …

I think that the best resource in this area is the California Chamber of Commerce Labor Law Digest. You can order it off their website. If you will give me your fax number I will send a copy of the Labor Code.
-
Actually, being in California is some sort of job security, maybe. Who else but us is going to keep up with all this stuff.
-
Nina 1 - this is a California question and the California labor code which covers this issue does not distinguish between exempt and non-exempt.
-
Yes

Well, this one is a little obscure, but it is covered in Labor Code 230 (g). An employee MAY (my upper case)use vacation, personal leave, -------- that is otherwise available to the employee under the applicable terms of employment -------------. …

Correct, Balloonman.

This is the sequence of events. If the employee files a charge of discrimination, sex for example, an enforcement agency will look and see if there is an "on the face of it" appearance of discrimination. From your post, I could see where sex could …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-13-03 AT 10:13AM (CST)[/font][p]I really don't have anything to add to the responses. The issue here is one of the increasing need that employees have to find some sort of balance with the work and o…

There was a discussion but I don't remember the name of the thread or how long ago. In any event, the data comes from a joint SHRM/BNA study which has been going on annually for over 25 years. the 1 per 100 employees is a national average which ha…

Do a search for "testing". There have been some past lenghty discussions on this topic.
-
We don't have one because it doesn't fit our environment, but what I remember from the past is that the rule should be kept even though the cookies, football pools etc violate the policy. The theory is that you can obtain an injunction against the …

You get to see more people if you have the interview before they leave. Theoretically, mail interviews are more honest, because there must be motivation to respond. Not many will be returned, however. Now, if we could only trust what we hear! I …

The original question was who invented it, and after all this, I must confess that it was me. Some years ago I was bopping in to work when an employee stopped me. The poor soul said that he had asked his supervisor a question and the supervisor wo…

I misread the part about the EAP. Since you don't have one, get a consult from a mental health professional. It will be worth it.
-
You are on the right track. You should call your EAP and ask them how to approach the individual, then follow their suggestion - which will probably be a referral. If your EAP is on site quite often, as ours is, I would try to arrange a meeting be…
