[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-26-07 AT 08:06AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I'm studying for my PHR exam right now and I just covered this info last night. If there is a Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ) or if there is under-rep…

I respect the right for everyone to have different beliefs, reglious or otherwise. I believe it's admirable to stay true to your beliefs. However, I also believe you must learn to adapt to your environment and not expect your environment to adapt …

We have the candidate sign our offer letter, which states employment is contingent on a successful post-offer physical and drug screen. Plus, our application refers to this as well and it must be signed by the applicant. I think this is sufficient…

This sales guy would not cut it at our company. We have a no tolerance policy related to Harassment & Workplace Violence and we take it very seriously. Verbal abuse and bullying is a form of harassment and workplace violence. We value a safe, c…

I would immediately terminate #2 as soon as he returns from his vacation. Turning on a saw while an fellow employee's hand is in or near the saw is gross misconduct, blatant disregard for his co-worker's well-being, and borderline criminal conduct.…

I'm sure he or she meant that generally there is a split specimen taken (two samples kept separately), so a positive test can be reconfirmed with the 2nd sample...just in case an error was made. However, I've yet to see a positive result be reverse…

We only pay for the first day of the injury. WC absences immediately count against FMLA or non-FMLA leave (if under 12 months of employment). We do allow the EE to choose unpaid time, vacaton or PTO. NH WC starts paying on the 4th day unless the …

I also belong to the SHRM and there is a blurp on their website that states this: "The number of Human Resources personnel to total employees depends mainly on the individual company's structure, actual size, and reliance on in-house staff vs. util…

I agree with "ritamcguire"....I follow the same logic.

I don't want to put up a camera and invade anyone's privacy - illegal or not. I'm going to have to rely on a few signs explaining cleaniness, etc, and hopefully, someone sees who is doing it and reports it. Thanks.

No, I don't think it's the same person as the poop incidents. My understanding is that was more of a cultural issue with a few of our employees that are not originally from the US. Once I put up signage (along with diagrams), it stopped. I think w…

I agree this type of background check could get you into trouble. Plus, not only are there demanding and dangerous jobs out there, but there are also unsafe companies, so this info could be misconstrued. I believe as a practice, WC insurance compa…

FACTA is a new federal rule as of 6/1/05 that will require businesses and individuals to take appropriate measures to dispose of sensitive information derived from consumer reports. Any business or individual who uses a consumer report for a busines…

I generally do not investigate anything that is anonymous. I've found that 9 times out of 10 it is based on ulterior motives. It is not fair to our employees to make them go through an investigation initiated by someone who does not have the coura…

We are also a manufacturer with 200+ employees. We generally do some informal counseling before an employee reaches the formal discipline process. This works sometimes. Our formal discipline process consists of: 1st Written Warning, 2nd Written…

I had something similiar recently after we terminated an employee, but luckily not so complicated. I received 10 voice mail messages at work at all times of the night ranging from hysterical to angry to calm, but none of them made any sense. I r…

I absolutely support your termination decision. You can not and should not have to tolerate an employee demonstrating an explosive temperment to anyone in your company. There are other ways to disagree with a warning or any employment decision. …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-11-06 AT 01:45PM (CST)[/font][br][br]When I terminate someone, I keep it short and simple. I would say something like this: "After careful consideration, we have decided to terminate your employment…

We pay 80% of tuition costs up to $5000 per year for undergraduate degrees and up to $7500 per year for graduate degrees. However, the degree must be directly related to their current position or a future foreseeable role within the company. We do…

That attitude is tough to deal with. Maybe a million dollar privacy violation lawsuit would shake them up. You can do a search for privacy violations and lawsuits - probably on HR Hero - to find some more convincing info. As far as I know, there i…

We have CA employees as well - in fact, two pregnant employees at the moment. I would just request her to state in writing that she wants to return early - whether via email or a letter. CA SDI is only a portion of their regular pay, so there is s…

I think your instinct that this might not be a good idea is probably correct. I had my first child 16 weeks ago and I know how awfully difficult those first few weeks are, but Title VII states that a pregnant individual cannot be forced to take a l…

I think it is acceptable to require a prospective employee to complete a job application in English as long as you consistently apply this requirement. You are only being discriminatory if you allow certain applicants to apply in a non-English lang…
