  • I agree with hr410 -- you can't force employees to be friends, but you can expect professionalism and respect at work.  I don't know if it's possible in your situation, but sometimes creating teams to work on projects and making sure the team member…
  • We've had a version of flextime for several years.  We have core hours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. when employees are expected to be here so that we can schedule meetings, etc., but otherwise people can adjust the time when they come in and when they lea…
  • We have a policy that's pretty basic, but it does address the subject: Dating or becoming romantically involved with a co-worker or supervisor is discouraged. If such a relationship develops between a supervisor and an employee, the supervisor must …
  • I agree that the focus is on the applicant's ability to communicate effectively with customers.  If customers won't be able to understand her and if that kind of communication is a big part of the job, it's not discriminatory if you don't hire her. 
  • Hi - There's a good analysis in this opinion letter from the DOL.  It compares job duties of executive assistant and administrative assistant. http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/opinion/FLSANA/2006/2006_10_26_23NA_FLSA.pdf  
  • Our credit cards are for travel only also, so I don't know if this is what you need... Allowable Expenses   Air, rail, and other travel - Used passenger coupons or ticket stubs must be attached to expense report forms. Charges for changes in flights…
  • I think using deliberate violations is too risky.  And I think employees might feel like the company's trying to trick them.  I'll bet incentives for safety suggestions would be more effective in getting employees' attention -- with a lot less risk …
  • In our exit interviews we usually ask employees to rate their satisfaction with their employment at our company, including compensation, benefits, training, work environment, opportunities for advancement, etc.  If they have accepted other employmen…
  • We haven't faced this issue, but I think it's reasonable to let employees use their break time to pray if that's what they want to do.  I think it's harder for some companies when many employees need to pray at the same time each day, but I've read …
  • Our policy is similar for employees.  Here's the part that covers employees accessing their info: Any employee may access all documents in his or her personnel and medical files as long as it is done in an appropriate time, place, and manner as dete…
  • We've used the training center for safety training, but not for anything else yet.  It works well for us, keeps track of who's been trained, etc.  Big improvement over trying to get employees together for group training sessions.
  • Maybe some combination of peer review and manager evaluation would work. At the beginning of the review year, employees on the team can provide their team members with a list of development and work goals so that all team members can provide an eval…
  • Most of our employees can work from home because they have access to the company network online, so that helps a lot.  It's hard to keep those "warriors" home even with the telecommuting option, but I think some of that comes from some of the manage…
  • I think if she's an employee of the staffing agency (she gets her paycheck from them and not from your company) you can extend her time and she's still their employee.  But if she's paid by your company as a contract worker I think the IRS might say…
