While I agree with the others not to do it, I come at this from a different angle. I worked for a large office furniture manufacturer, about 40% of the 400+ employees did not speak or write English. They would bring their apartment rental forms, l…

So sorry to hear of your father's passing. You did the right thing and had no regrets and your dad's final days were not spent in pain. I have not experienced the loss of a parent, but when that time comes I will remember your ability to set the p…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-07-04 AT 10:52AM (CST)[/font][br][br]As it has been said in many previous posts, a positive is a positive. I could not determine from your post if you deal directly with the lab or have a medical rev…

We have 9 full day holidays and 2 half day holidays. We have 5 personal days per year you can take for any reason. No sick days and vacation is earned a week a year for years of service 1-3, two weeks for 4-9 and three weeks for 10 and over. You …

I wouldn't do it. However, if you feel strongly that the employee should be allowed to work at home, I would have a doctor's release for working at home before allowing it. I would go the extra step and provide a job description to the doctor and …

I have indicated on the state disability form that 'employee continues to work'. That always generates a call from SDI/EDD and then I would state just what you stated in your post. Let SDI/EDD figure this out and advise you how to proceed.

I am not in the same industry, but HR has always does the prescreen, check references and do all but the interview anywhere I've worked. That way we control the information, and if candidates do not meet the standards, they are not hired. This i…

Ditto!

Yes, you can demand a Social Security card for payroll reasons as long as you ask all employees for the card as company policy. As far as I-9 are concerned, no you may not indicate what you will receive.

What does your company do? Is the retention problem company wide or department(s) specific? What % of the new hires leaving are leaving on their own? What is your local employment situation? Is it a employee or employer market?
-
Wow, what an interesting question. I do not believe you are under any obligation to pay this cost. There are pet care services who would charge her a fraction of that cost to come in daily.

It depends on your state's law about employees and their access to their personnel files. California law dicates we allow former employees to inspect their file for a reasonable length of time after termination. However the loophole California h…

We have a policy that states employees MVR will be reviewed yearly and our insurance carrier will inform us if employees are not allowed to drive for our company. If you are interested in seeing it, please give me your e-mail address. Beckie

Yes, we do ask for a copy of the orders. Because it provides starting and ending dates (subject to change) it makes it easier to plan for the absenses which since early 2002 have incresed significantly in the length of time the employee will be awa…

LABOR CODE SECTION 200-243 201. (a) If an employer discharges an employee, the wages earned and unpaid at the time of discharge are due and payable immediately. An employer who lays off a group of employees by reason of the termination of season…

Carey Could you send me a copy too? [email]beckie_caskey@questsys.com[/email] Thanks, you sure got a bunch of requests! Thanks again!

What memories this post brings back. I previously worked for a very large company, Fortune 500. This company gave out corporate credit cards way too much. I have two stories to share: The first employee allowed his spouse to use the corporate ca…

If you don't have a policy on this specific issue to reference, what have you done for employees on unpaid leaves in the past? Our policy states employees on unpaid leaves will not be paid for holidays until their status changes back to active. …

Don't you hate when those who know better, still violate the rules. The law states you have pay them, but with your policy in place DISCPLINE!
-
Pay him for 8 hours according to California labor law. Does your policy address not working from home without prior authorization? I know mine doesn't. I would discpline the employee or at a minimum create a policy if there is not one in place.

Is the percieved drinking problem happening during work hours? If so, what does your policy say? Here is the portion of our policy that addresses it: "In cases where management has reasonable suspicion to believe that an employee possesses or is …

Yes, I would conduct the investigation no differently than if the employee was still with your company.

We had the same problem. It was not just poop but every body fluid! And it was not just on the seat, but the handle, the stall walls, on top of the tank, etc. It was such a mess we could not even begin to figure out how the female could position …

Do you have any other estimators? If not, there should not be an issue changing to hourly from exempt. However our attorney always cautions us to be prepared for the employee to submit an accounting of all the overtime 'worked' since the employee …

Legally prescribed medications, prescribed to the employee are permitted only when the use of such medications does not adversely affect the employee’s ability to perform the duties of the job, or compromise the safety of the individual or others. …

Sorry, Pork California is where I began and will end my HR career. My experiences include small attorney, a Fortune 500 office furniture manufacturer based in Michigan and a technology firm. All were included in holiday celebrations. Now do manag…
-
No wonder you have disgruntled employees. I would never think to exclude any group from a company sponsored holiday celebration. Afterall if not for the production by the production workers would there be much for the company to celebrate? I have…

In California, what you have described could be considered a hostile work environment (the co-workers shunning her, harasser making her life difficult). Does the 'harasser' have to speak with the 'victim' to conduct business? If not what would she…

I too believe you should proceed with extreme caution. My spouse was given an agility test last year for a warehouse position in a food distribution facility. He failed, the reason given was his heart rate exceeded the limits during a 5 minute sta…

Ckeck the law in your state. In California, the way your question is worded we would have to pay out the floaters. But again California may be different than your state.
