Yes, their walk out affected so many. They came back bright and early the next day. He was none too happy, and simply asked they notify him next time. I then told him that kinda defeats the purpose. The walk out was supposed to have an effect (o…

In Augusta, GA a lot of the Hispanic contractors walked off jobs yesterday. My spouse works in the construction industry and all the contractors were calling each other to find out if their crew had left as well. They were all blind-sided and not v…

AMEN!

Considering what I have been going through this week (see my earlier post), this nowhere near rises to the level of hostile environment. Did he speak bluntly with her? Yes Did it piss her off? Yes Does she have a case of hostile environment? I w…

There was some personal information about the accuser that was shared among a group of 4. When you get that personal, stuff happens. I think they all crossed the line of professionalism. Specifically, the accuser and accused. Whether or not these…

hooo boy! Did this thing take a 180 turn!! I wish I could divulge the details, but I can't. I will say all is not what it seems. The waters were so muddy by the time we finished that it was hard to tell truth from fiction. They all lost credibilit…

Exactly, I am stuck in a "he-said-she-said" scenario. What I meant by "management has checked out" is that I think they've already made their decision in their head. My only saving grace is the current EE who states he bothered her, too. Althoug…

Inappropriate touching included him putting his hand down her shirt among other things. She told us she was not leaving because of him, but for a better opportunity. We've called her twice to follow up on a few things and she won't return our call…

Cranial Aerobics??? what's that? I'm looking for something unique to do this year.

We found out the hard way that your "scheduled" day for shredding never happens when it's scheduled. I am guessing this is a really small operation, otherwise, who is going to inspect what is being shredded? You mentioned that you didn't want empl…

what does light duty mean? working FT but eliminating some tasks or reducing to a PT schedule? As the other poster stated: if this was a broken leg, what would you do? Personally, I would work with this employee, but again, that depends what "li…

well, now that she will be changing jobs and work areas, I would say the level of accomodations changes, too. You're gonna have to have the discussion about the lights. I would think everyone could agree that turning off the lights in the lobby is …

I'm not that familiar w/migraine headaches, but I'll take a stab at this. I would get the certification from the doctor stating she needs this accomodation. I assume she wants this position? (not wanting to retire). You know you'll have a talk wi…

I agree. Most companies, mine included, pay what is in their budget. You can't get sucked into this game or everyone else will think they deserve more b/c of experience or expertise. The incentive plan may work, but be wary of that as well. You …

We have a six month waiting period and pretty much stick to it.

something else to consider, is how the temp agency pays the temps for vacation and holidays. The agency I was using observed holidays that we didn't, and paid the temps for it even though they worked for us. (i.e. paid them for 8 hrs holiday pay on…

All good recommendations! Be wary of posting on boards like Monster, etc. You will get a hundred resumes from people with no skill set to match your job. And don't put any type of email address out there either. You will forever regret it!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-30-05 AT 09:29AM (CST)[/font][br][br]no pay. In GA, there is a 7 day waiting period before WC benefits kick in. Employees use their PTO time, if available. Otherwise, it's an unpaid day.. edit: w…

I would make a good faith effort to pay the hours worked. I had a former employee contact me via certified letter that we owed him wages from hours worked, but not reported on his timecard. All he has to say is that he was discouraged from repor…

I finally got my president on board. Every month I send out a notice of late evaluations to every department head. Everyone sees how late everyone else is. It ruffled a few feathers at first, but my two worst departments are now my best. Nobody …

I would also assume this person needs to change clothes and shower! If this is the 3rd time, follow Genes's advice. EE needs help and should see a physician. You cannot allow this to go on, for the safety and sanity of other employees.

well, at least she is requesting the leave in advance. I guess you could tackle the part about her being gone from 1 hr to 4 hrs. Maybe she could schedule her appts when your least busy? ie first thing in the morning/late in the day. Most doctors…

hmmm. In the past, when I've had an employee out excessively for sick leave, I started asking for a doctor's excuse. I told her that we hired her b/c we needed her here to work, and right now she's not. I then went into the FMLA spill. but that d…
-
how much notice does she give when leaving for these appointments? I would ask for a doctor's note proving she was there due to the excessive absences. When you say "no FMLA" is it because she's not eligible or your company? Anyone who needs to se…

I agree with LarryC. Hey, that rhymes! Anyway, you can't single out smokers and you can't control what they do on their own time. Make your campus no-smoking and move on. This will be a nightmare to keep control over not to mention any legal rami…

That was the crux of my argument. My first question to him was "what will you do with someone who simply refuses?" You can't force it. I know he thinks employees should support the company they work for, but there are other ways. I have a friend…

Point taken, BUT I still don't see how some of the responses really helped out in any way. Calling him a dumb-a$$ really doesn't offer anything substantial. So I asked for folks to go drink their coffee and I ended up with some useful comments. …
