If you had this happen before and this is how you addressed it, fine. The main thing is to be consistent. I do not think your proprosal is too harsh, but you want to make sure there are no bad comparables.
-
I agree with JM. You need to address it in your handbook, you need to make sure your try to discourage it. Problems will arise otherwise. Other ees will know, no matter how discreet they are/think they are. Then you here why so-in-so is getting …

Glad to see you back Don!

Duct tape! x:D

Best movie ever made! Maybe if they brought a shrubbery to the interview, you wouldn't need to ask any questions. It is always good to befriend the knights that say "nee."

We pay three days for immediate family (spouse, kids), for the ee's parents, siblings, grandparents, the mother/father-in-law, nothing else. Salaried exempt must show the time to attend a funeral as personal time (even though it does not change the…

The Don must have seen it growing in the state park during a dove hunt.

Would you give larger bonuses to ees that recommended a new ee that just so happened to play a brass instrument, say for example, a trombone?
-
You may want to check, but most states have clauses that disqualify an ee from gettig UI if they took a pension when they left. However, when you rehired her, that is probably not going to get you "off the hook" for the time she was back part-time.…

We are not union, so I am not speaking from a lot of experience, although we have been targeted in the past. We have clearly defined our property line around the facility with a bright yellow line. Picketers are told they can picket/handbill as l…

Adding to The Don and Marc's list, releasing confidential or proprietary innformation without the proper authorization, substantiation of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, etc., and forgetting my birthday! x:D

You already have reached the threshold for Title VII, USC Section 1981, the ADEA, Equal Pay Act, the ADA, and once you reach 50, the FMLA. Check with a labor attorney in your area to determine if there are any state laws that you will qualify for w…

I agree with LarryC. We have a 3rd party administer our testing procedures. That way, it eliminates any perception that we graded the tests unfairly, or had any influence over the test results. When the results are resturned, it has the applicant…

But not nearly as cool!

I had an office, with a door. But alas, with the new building came a different environment. I have a cubicle, with a door, flimsy as it is. The walls are approximately six feet high, so there is some privacy. The door is there to supposedly help…
-
We have a cubicle environment and remind ees to make sure they observe proper work place etiquette (be mindful of other while on the phone, keep voice level low so you do not disrupt others, no speakerphone usage, etc.). We do not allow candles to …
-
I agree with The Don and Gene. I would also look at whether there are any other positions in your facility the ee could perform with or without a reasonable accommodation. Document your review of positions and whether the ees restrictions would cr…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-25-05 AT 05:05PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I agree with TN HR. We have six paid holidays per year, until this year it was five. Our ees always wanted to know why we did not give more paid holidays. It is…

Your recent trend of posting 20 - 30 times a day is messing up the scientific research I conducted in order to pick a date for you to reach the 10k post mark. Please cut back your posts accordingly, I still have May 16th in the pool.

He was suspended pending discharge until the results came back. Then he was quickly escorted from the prenises. I agree it takes someone a few cards short of a deck to gargle with bleach, but at least he was not walking around with a friend's urin…

We have been using this for the past 6-8 months. It is not a test that can detect illegal substances in someone's system for as long a period of time as the urine or blood tests. But is not meant for that. It is meant to catch someone that has re…

You had made the decision to terminate, I believe once that decision is made, you need to follow through. I never agree to let someone resign if the discharge decision has been made. I agree with the others, this was a lapse in good judgement. …

Honesty, I wrote it down. I wanted to make sure that I passed on the right info, and with my memory, that means taking a pad of paper and pen with me! x:)
-
Okay, this is what the "guy down the hall" said. Most likely the er's CBA will have a statement saying that a picket line will not be recognized until the corrent contract expires. So, basically, the ee that refuses to cross the picket line could …

Gee Don! A bit testy, huh? Our Labor Relations department is two doors down. I have lunch with them every day. We have several meetings throughout the year to discuss developments involving unions. These are great times of fellowship and I alwa…
-
Good to know. For the sake of argument, if the Union B member said that they refused to "cross the picket line" and report to work since Union A was in the midst of a strike during renegotiation, would that have any bearing? Since I do not have to…

PLA is Protected Legal Activity. It is normally associated with retaliation (Title VII), but I am curious if the NLRA has a similar provision. PLA does cover "concerted activity," thus my curiousity.
-
We are not a unionized company, so I am not an expert, but would there be any PLA protection for the ee in Union B supporting Union A? I am not sure if there is even a provision for this under the NLRA, but would like to know.
-
I never used the word harassment to describe what happened. I said that the comment was egregious and that it was actionable. I personally do not wait until someone has gotten to the point that they are "harassing" another ee before I take appropr…

First, I would have the person the comment was said to write a statement outlining the conversation. Also, see if there were any other ees standing there that may have overheard the comment. Speak to them as well, if they heard the comment, have t…
