  • Was the previous incident 4 months ago similar in nature to the fight? Unless the threatening letter from the spouse offered new information (like she was being harassed) I wouldn't be concerned about it. She quit with a witness present. She chos…
  • I would review the terms of both your 401(k) and health insurance. When my last company closed, we continued the health insurance through the severance payments, but discontinued the 401(k) per the plan. Also if your company has accrued vacation, …

  • I don't think they should be reimbursed. Our policy states: Neither the company, nor its insurance carrier can take any liability for an employee’s personal belongings. Employees should secure their belongings to the best of their ability. Quest…

  • Again, I must state, California treats it's employees better than it's employers! Bottom line is employees are not held accoutable for much in the arens of wage and hour laws. I used to work for an office manufacturer (big red) that was based in W…
  • KMR, Welcome to the Forum! As a California employer, you know employees are more valued than employers. Below I pasted from California Wage Order # 9, which I assume you fall under. However if you don't this verbage is in the several wage orders …
  • In California once same sex partners register with the state they are entitled to benefits as are different sex domestic partners if one of the partners is Medicare eligible. Go figure!
  • Ethel There are software packages as well as consultants who do this. This is not one of those projects you would want to do yourself and learn as you go. The software is probably cheaper than a consultant. Do an Internet search and start your r…
  • My current company doesn't do them. However the company I worked for before did them every six months. Copies were given to the employees after the employee and the supervisor signed off of the review. No horror stories to report. However, we su…
  • If this were my manager I would file a claim of hostile work environment! Does the affected employee receive any sort of discpline for not turning in the budget on time or providing information to the corporate office late? While you can't make …
  • For the 4th of July we will have the following Monday off. Our policy states if the holiday is on Saturday, the holiday will be observed the day before on the Friday and if the holiday falls on Sunday we observe it the next day on Monday. Yes, we …
  • SSJ I lived through this 2.75 years ago. We closed an entire manufacturing facility of 400. In order to process everyone out and still maintain a decent attitude, a bonus of my salary was given for every week I remained on. Esstentially I was ma…
  • Gillian is on the 'money' in her response. The only way to make them feel better about this is to give them a bonus to stay to the end and maintain a somewhat positive attitude. If you are expecting employees act like everything is fine, that won'…
  • I have been late returning rental cars, and never been charged with a crime. Granted I called to inform them of the need to keep the car longer about the time I had scheduled to return the car, and never had a problem. Afterall the rental car comp…
  • psrcello What did happen? Please update us! Thanks
  • This long term, minority supervisor made a decision to not only drink, but to get behind the wheel of a company car. You are very fortunate that he did not injure himself or someone else. If your zero tolerance policy is to be effective, exception…
  • Here is the definition I have: Defined as veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Military, ground, naval or air service during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized, other than special disabled …
  • Pork, I agree with you! Our Worker's Compensation carrier however, would not decide one way or the other (to remove him from th job or not) Once we learned of the usage, I immediately contacted the carrier for help. What a waste of time. In the…
  • While it may have appeared that I was hung up on the drug, it's rare that an employee would come to you with a release from a doctor stating the employee is being treated for a health issue and would benefit from the use of Morphine as needed for a …
  • Thank you all for your responses. I needed clear minds to chime in, mine was certainly clouded. You all make very valid points. However in the days of HIPAA everyone seems to be shying away from asking the important questions!
  • The doctor who issued the employee the prescription for the drug. Send along with your request a detailed job description and ask the doctor for a WRITTEN opinion based on the job description and the amount of drug the person has been prescribed. …
  • Singing in the rain. Everyone can wear yellow rain slickers.
  • We were instucted to have the employees sign a copy of our DMV records checking. If you want a copy of it, send me your e-mail address.
  • Your employee wants you to provide a letter stating the reasons were medical in nature? Isn't it the employees doctor who would provide this information to EDD? I am glad to hear that EDD won't pay for these types of absences. I do not believe th…
  • I have dealt with this before, but not with the reasons you stated in your post. The employee was restricted to working 3 hours per day by his doctor and he received SDI benefits, less his 3 hours per day. Maybe a call to EDD would be beneficial t…
  • Linda If you have treated them as you would any other employee, I do not see this as an issue to be overly concerned about. I assume you have documentation leading up to the disciplinary actions. This might be the time to tighten up the loopholes…
  • I just e-mailed you our policies. I hope they help. Beckie
  • Are you saying that you will be expected to protest this person's unemployment? Without any details? Good luck! If it were me, I simply would not respond, then when EDD calls tell them you were not involved with the termination. Then you can d…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-12-04 AT 12:08PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Mwild is right. Document the need in writing to the employee and include the statement that she will be terminated if the documents are not provided by a set date…

  • It's my understanding that there must be a legit business reason for implementing an English Only policy.
