[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-08-05 AT 04:30PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I agree that a private place to pump is a good accommodation. My wife and I have two children, one five years old the other six months old. Both have been nursed…

I agree with G3 and Marc. You cannot control lunches, or who they socialize with at lunch, unless the lunch room is on-site, and you can tell the former ee that cannot enter the premises because it creates a disruption to business. Discipline is n…

If you want to drop smokers from your health insurance, why not include drinkers? Like smokers, drinking can lead to serious health conditions that will cost the company a fortune. Those folks cited in The Don's scientific survey would likely deve…

I agree with the previous two posters. Additionally, the consent to test form that the ee probably filled out before going to the clinic is normally only valid for that day. Don't allow the ee to get out of it, as stated before, it sets a preceden…

We pay for full-time ees, but not part-time ees. FL pays only after someone has served at least three days, then it is retroed to the date they began jury duty. Paying for jury duty is a business decision here, check with your state/county to see …

So basically, you told him that you were tired of his crap and that if he did not straighten up, the sh** would hit the fan?

We keep them in a separate medical file. We also place FMLA paperwork, FNOII forms, Dr. notes, etc. in the medical file. These are kept for each ee, separate from the personnel file.
-
I agree with PORK that you need to compete an incident report and document that the injury is not work related. I also recommend that if you decide to give the ee the time off to recover, that you get the release prior to allowing him to return to …

This is definitely an interesting scenario. You state that she has not started work, and use the term candidate to describe her. Yet, you have had her measured for uniformed and completed the necessary pre-employment paperwork. I know that she h…

If we know what type of facility you are, it would help. For instance, if manufacturing, I would recommend covering things like lock out/tag out, GMPs, etc. Some more information will get you responses that are applicable to your industry.

I am interested to hear the full story and what argument(s) can be made to block the transfer. I agree that there is no reason for HR to get involved in the resolution of this, unless there are issues related to the HR function. You need to trust …

HRCalico, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am truly sorry for your loss. My grandfather passed away twelve years ago. I passed on a trip to WV to visit him before he passed away. He had not been ill and I took it for granted that there woul…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-08-05 AT 11:03AM (CST)[/font][br][br]We are a large employer that conducts random drug sreens. This could be for a variety of reasons, new hire, reasonable suspicion, someone participating in our EAP…

I can't understand why you would want to incur the additional cost of a temp service to do something that everyone has to do at home. I mean, come on, is it that "beneath" someone to take care of this temporarily? At home, I take out the trash, cl…

Down-the-Middle is right. As an employer, you can ask someone to take on these responsibilities, like it or not. The request is not illegal, unethical, etc., so it is the ees responsibility to do the work assigned to them. We have had this proble…

Ed: I agree with Don, I would not head down that road if it is not necessary. I think if you want some language to identify that you do not use race, religion, national origin, etc. in employment decisions (such as hiring), I would put a blurb in …

I agree with Don. Looking at the stance the Post Office is taking, I am not sure that filing an ULP with the union would be productive. It has been awhile since I reviewed the FLSA, but I believe that the statute of limitations for a FLSA claim is…
-
I agree with Don that it would not be wise to allow different departments to set different standards for absenteeism. This would be especially difficult if the department manager does not have the authority to discharge ees. If there is only one p…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-01-05 AT 09:07AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Constructive discharge is actionable, but it not championing someone's cause. That could be Protected Legal Activity (PLA), opposing an unlawful employment practi…

I personally believe that a workplace violence policy should be proactive as well as reactive. Sometimes once a situation has arisen, it is too late to protect an ee from sustaining an injury. Our policy not only addresses acts of violence, but th…

Gene is exactly right! I do not believe that you can necessary end all attempts at raising money to send the band on a trip, but you need to have a clearly defined policy on solicitation. No personal want ads/fliers, etc., on company bulletin boar…

We have both a handbook and a more formal/step-by-step guide for management. However, the handbook the ee receives contains the company's policies and procedures in it. In my experience, it has been very helpful to show that the ee received the ha…

I agree with Gene. You made the decision to discharge - carry it through. In a situation of "gross misconduct," I think you create a liability if you do not follow your established precedent. I think every ee would rather resign than be discharge…

No, that's grammy's biscuits. A whomp biscuit is a canned biscuit. They are called whomp biscuits because you "whomp" them on the side of the counter to open the cannister!

Is a cathead biscuit the same thing as a whomp biscuit?

Does the spv keep a log or have any documentation (written statements, emails, memos, etc.) that supports the company's argument? Anything that you have in writing is an added benefit. It is more convincing if it is signed and dated the night the …

I agree that you need to follow your established procedures, if you have them. I do not know your situation, but we have a well defined policy. If an ee is within the probationary period and fails a random, they are discharged. After the probatio…

Is this the same ee from your earlier resignation or not post?

First, it appears that she did not say this directly to her manager, albeit that there is no question that the comment was about her manager. Did the manager hear it or did another ee tell you/manager what was said. While it is not an excuse for h…

We have different lengths of vacation depending on the number of years an ee has been with the company. However, the formula is the same. After the ee has been full-time for one year, they receive hours toward their vacation allottment. Take the …
