Obviously, some of you have not had your morning coffee. I would like to hear a constructive response. I did not ask if you thought he was a dumb-a$$, or to equate the request with some type of concentration camp. (now go drink your coffee) I perso…

Thanks for all your comments. I plan to print this out and show him the risks. Strength in numbers I always say. Well, not always, but most of the time...:)

That's what I thought. The comment made by the owner was if "Joe" hurts himself, he'll put me out of business. That's part of the risk of doing business I guess. What about the truck drivers? these guys are firefighters and work for him on their …

ours is 1 yr. Anyone who returns within 1 yr can count previous service. Anything longer than 1yr and you start from scratch.

Employees currently accrue their vacation time, so they kept that time. We converted the "sick" time into PTO and gave everyone an extra 7 days to use in addition to vacation. The only difference being the 7 days were "awarded" and not paid out up…

This is one of the reasons why we ditched sick-leave, vacation, etc. and went to a simple Paid Time Off policy. Employee has "x" amount of days to use for whatever they want. Sick, mental health, doctor's appts, vacation, etc. If Suzie Q needs to…

woohoo! Thanks. We did use an outside source for initial training a couple years ago. Some ee's were given the card you spoke of as a "trainer". Someone questioned me yesterday about it, b/c we haven't had "OSHA" certified forklift training in a…

We usually try to plan the meeting when the workforce is low, so they can box up and leave without a lot of notice. However, the last few, we boxed up for them as we did not want them back in the department (due to various reasons). I now have som…

ours is the same as well. HR sends the flowers, etc. But my company is a little bigger than yours and my President only sends cards to senior management during Christmas. But still, he gets those addresses from us (HR).

I am fresh from an appeal hearing where the employee quit. His response was the supervisor was out to get him and that's why he left. huh? In GA, the appeal notice lists the issues to be decided. One of those being "whether the claimant left their …

Thanks for the info. I did find out we can garnish our IC in GA. Although a lengthy discussion went on (b/t mgr and me) about whether or not I could do it. (Like I make these things up as I go) It seems to vary state to state. So, as the early pos…

we have "timekeepers" who manually enter missed punches. If it becomes a problem, we start the disciplinary process. I find that employees usually "forget" to clock in b/c they are late.

1) What common misperception do people have about you? When they tell you what it is, like too quiet or a pushover, then you can ask why people have that view about them. 2) Tell me about a decision you made but would have done differently, and why…

I'm sorry to hear he's back. I was hoping he would get a life since he found another job. In my opinion, you have to involve your attorney and/or the police. Taking the time to address a letter to the wife is freaky. Who knows what he may do nex…

Which leads me to my next question. If your results are negative, do you still send to the lab for confirmation and review by the MRO? If positive, our plan is to then send to the emergency room for a second test and review. Fortunately, I've o…

I realize it is not rocket science, thank you. Just checking if there was any other steps needed before we term. I did not realize the PO would be so forthcoming with the nature of crime, so thanks for the info MARC. And yes, application states fa…

An editor directs the work of the reporter. i.e. helps them with story ideas, gives them direction on how to move on a story, reviews their progress along the way, etc. They usually are the manager of a division, like the Metro Editor or Features E…

I work in the newspaper industry and we pay all graphic artists OT. There is a book published by NAA titled "An Overview of Wage and Hour Laws as They Apply to Newspapers". I highly recommend it! It's made my life a lot easier.

We converted to a PTO plan a couple years ago. The main complaint from my managers was that employees could now call in whenever they wanted b/c they knew they could take a PTO day and get paid. My response was that it is an unscheduled absence an…

We have an Employee of the Month celebration (each month obviously). Anyone can nominate a coworker for this award and the department heads (about 15 of us) vote for the winner. The winner receives $50, an additional day off and a cool jacket. We s…

no documentation. Just a clash of personalities. The job duties will be somewhat reclassified and absorbed by fellow office assistants. He is not really replacing her per say. Anyway, thanks for the feedback. She will apply for unemployment...and …

ok, to put this one to rest. The letter came from the president and basically stated what was in Don's post, give or take a few words. We felt it best to respond in some form, although some of you said to ignore it. All a matter of opinion. Thank…

the guy was here for 23 years. Obviously there are positive contributions he's made over the years. Just lately they've been more negative than positive, but the response doesn't acknowledge positive or not, just "contributions". I would think th…

Thx Don. That's pretty much what I had, but you made it sound a little smoother.

the email was addressed to our president and he has asked me to draft a response, which will be 3 sentences at most. The employee started off the letter by saying "I don't know if you know about this but I was fired today." We had another employee …

I've experienced this before and we found out that limiting ours to 3-4 hrs for our office personnel works best. If someone needs 1/2 day or full day, then they should take a PTO day. For example, in my office, we work 8-5. When would they have ti…

We pay non-exempt employees on jury service the difference b/t their regular pay and the $$ they receive for serving as jurors. They must bring a copy of their summons and they must call in after duty to check in w/supervisor and answer any question…

I've had this before...where a suspension really doesn't work b/c we need the employee here. We've used a final written in lieu of suspension, with the next step being termination. Although I can count on one hand the times we've used it, it has w…

Although we encourage our employees to sign up for direct deposit, it is not mandated. However, for those who decline, we do mail their actual paycheck to their home address on file. That is a big incentive to sign up! Especially when the check do…

He defintely came from the "old school" management. I just can't see allowing this type of culture to continue to exist. He has been told exactly what type of behavior will not be tolerated. Included his cursing, yelling and throwing things around t…
