I didn't accomodate, because I had no positions open. As luck would have it, another employee asked to be transferred to nights, so I was able to switch them. He would have lost his job had that not happened. I am very careful about setting any p…

I thought the same thing. I have some experience with diabetes, and I know if it is uncontrolled, it doesn't matter what time you start work. I don't have anything available, and I know that I don't have to create a position for him. So, we will …

Thanks so much. Every time I think I have this subject down, some new twist comes up. I will ask for a medical certification and take it from there.

The letter said that they will schedule an inspection as soon as possible. The employee said that when he called to tell them that he didn't file a complaint, that it was about smoke in the factory. I don't think there is a problem, I'm not partic…

My company implemented a "Honey-Do List" for issues, ideas, problems that need fixing, etc. I try to check it every week. So far, the only suggestions I have found are from the owners. But, since I report on this list, and e-mail it to the owners…

I've had that type of thing happen too. I believe that some of them think that flirting will help them get a job. One guy told the person next to me that Satan runs the Internet and he wouldn't apply for a job through the Internet. I think we sho…

Great, thanks for the information. I thought I might be ok doing that, but I wanted to be sure. I was very disappointed with the candidates at this job fair. Have a great weekend!

My thinking seems to be on the same path as all of you. I am not so concerned about sharing a death in the family. I did have one employee that requested I not tell anyone about his daughter's death. He is an unusual person, but he really didn't w…
-
Thank you very much for the insight. I told the owner that if I am at liberty to share information, I will do it. I don't think she will like what I think I can share and what she thinks I should share. If you (or anyone) has a policy that will h…

But then I wouldn't have any place to go.

I just got a note from this guy's doctor stating that he is diabetic and suffers from frequent urination, but he is going to get better. It is dated the day he got fired. I suppose now he should get his job back because he just HAD to pee in the s…

As far as I know, it has never happened. The supervisor in that department is wonderful (and tough) and I am sure would have addressed the issue had he known about it, no matter who was doing it. This EE has no prior problems, he wasn't a great em…

Thanks so much for all of your help! I did terminate. I try to stay up-to-date with the law, and I learn as much as I can. Sometimes, you just need someone to have your back. You guys definitely have my back. We are a fairly small company, s…

Well, I have never had to address an issue quite like this one. But defacing company property has always been an immediate termination. He can't have much respect for the company or his coworkers to do what he did. He admitted what he did, and sa…

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing. I would accomodate by giving him more bathroom breaks, but he never mentioned needing them, and doing what he did, I believe is unforgivable.
-
Well, I am putting a hold on confronting anyone right now. The supervisors are basing their claims on timing. This employee leaves, they go in right after, and find a mess. However, after my first investigation, the mess was a leaky toilet. So, …

Thanks everyone. After looking at the law, it seems to me that he has a right to copy the files. There are no specifics on medical, but I checked with SHRM and their opinion is that since it is not specifically stated that it is an exception, they…

Hi Don. It is all the same plan. My boss isn't here to get the news yet, I'm sure he will be surprised with my answer. He was thinking of being a nice guy and letting the managers put some money into 401k. Not only is he required to contribute, …
-
Thanks to you too Dutch. I did check my plan documents and you are correct. I should have done that first, but you guys are the first place I thought to look.
-
I didn't even think of it the other way around. We have to contribute to the 401k for everyone. The ees can elect not to contribute, but the company can't make that determination for them. Thanks very much. This forum always makes me look good a…

Thanks for the input. I will wait and see what the bosses are going to do.
-
Thanks, Pork. His resume alone is enough not to call him. I was concerned that even having that information might get me into trouble. I will file it with the rest of my applications. Have a great holiday!
-
Thanks for your perspective Steve. After reading your post, I re-read the review form and the spirit of the form is exactly what you are talking about. The ranking is asking whether the employee works well with others, motivates others, and how muc…
-
Thanks, Pork. I tried to stay out of it, but was not successful. I ended up speaking to the employee. I informed him that even if he does not accept the raise, he will still be accountable for everything stated in the review. He can either do th…

My Plant Manager does not want to process the raise. I'm not sure who is winning this contest at this point. I just know it is not me. So, I am just going to note the specifics of the review meeting to his file and advise the supervisor that the …
-
Thanks for the input. This employee has a bit of an entitlement mentality. 10 years ago raises were much more generous. Now, he just thinks he is worth more money and he does not want to do what the supervisor told him he would have to do to get …
-
Thanks Christine, that is a great idea too. I will speak with my IT guys and see if I can set up something like that.
-
Thank you both for the response. You just saved me about three hours of responding to customer service people that want to be a tool designer. Whew!!

My company pays vacation time on the ee's anniversary. They can take time or not, as they wish. If they leave in the middle of the year, they get paid whatever was accrued during that part of the year. Many of our employees take the vacation mone…

Thank you. Should I send him to my doctor or his own?
