  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-08-03 AT 01:39PM (CST)[/font][p]San Fran, I think you work for a large retailer as do I. I just counted the pages to my LOA policy, and it's 25, but some pages are short. I think the bigger the compa…
  • Yes, it's required if you received consent for the check and you received the info via 3rd party, like cthr stated above. Good Luck.
  • Yes can do it, just base it on your policies and not on anything else. And you don't need to hire for the second scenario either, but you do need to follow FCRA rules if they apply.
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-07-03 AT 02:20PM (CST)[/font][p]What logical reason is the supervisor using to allow one ee to bring in their child and not another ee? And I gather from your post that the one allowed to bring in the…
  • Ouch Don, quit rubbing it in. We're working on correcting that mistake, believe me.
  • I've dealt with quite a few questionable documents. I'm the only person who does all the newhire paperwork and I've learned a few tips on spotting false documents. The signature line on the SS Card does say social security on it. If you have real…
  • I'm sorry, but spitting on another person just crosses the line for me. Our policy gives leeway for any act of rudeness towards someone else can be grounds for dismissal and spitting is just foul. If it were me, and he has other issues with the co…
  • I would definately recommend going to the hearing, especially since it's your first one. It's a good experience. All the advice mentioned before is great. Documentation is key. I think your best bet is the violation of the email policies. Show …
  • I'm far from a constitutional lawyer, but I have read most of the constitution and I can't for the life of me find the verbage "separation of church and state". But yet the media always says," The separation of church and state in the constitution …
  • We ask ourselves What is the nature of the job compared with what the felony was? Are they going to work in a bank and they were a convicted robber? That's an easy example but you get the idea. Most of the time I see DUI's on the info. We don't ca…
  • In CA the employer pays for it also. A lot of people confuse UI with the state DI (disability) which is what the ee's pay into. And like you said, not a lot of managers know the difference either. And next year CA will have PAID family leave begin…
  • Do you have a policy on granting personal leave? Like does he have to be in good standing to be granted a leave? My first thought would be not to grant the leave, and if he still goes then there's your chance to get rid of him. He's telling you it'…
  • In CA they would get UI in most cases. But then in CA ee's get just about anything. I get UI claims all the time from part-timers. It's probably state specific though.
  • Tell her that her written notice of resignation is proof that she didn't abandon her post, and that it will remain in your records. She doesn't need anything else. But it might depend on your state law. Just my thoughts. Also, I'd only pay her for…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-29-03 AT 05:34PM (CST)[/font][p]The ee should be able to provide you with either an updated card or a form from the INS stating that they are processing his new status. I wouldn't change his status o…
    in alien status Comment by HRsage July 2003
  • I saw this as someone who is getting a little too paranoid about releasing her SSN for risk of idenity theft. She's gotta at least give you her SS Number, it's a requirement for employment. Actually viewing the card is dependent upon your policy a…
  • This just smells like one thing to me. A big steaming pile of something that you don't want to step in. The others are right, don't term, document your suggestion to cover yourself should your ignorant boss decide otherwise. Good luck.

  • How do you hold your ee's accountable to your policies if they don't have access to them? How do they learn about your policies in order to follow them? We give every new hire a policy handbook that they keep. It's nothing major, but they sign off o…
  • I agree with Whatever. I would suspend him for this violation. I would do a final write up for violating this and other policies and use the same verbage that Ray suggested- up to and including termination. He's been doing this for a long time and…
  • I think this has been discussed before in a previous thread, but am I the only one that thinks there is something wrong with requiring to see the SSC for payroll purposes?? Where is it written that it is legal to require to see the SSC? When a pers…
  • I have a relative that works for our local police dept and he says the majority of his cases involve some type of identity theft. Many times it involves thieves trolling the neighborhoods around the first and fifteenth of each month and opening up …
  • There is a distinction between a perm resident alien card ("green card" also known as a I-551 card), and a temp work authorization card (also known as I-688). The perm resident green cards do not need to and SHOULD NOT be reverified after expiratio…

  • I don't really like the idea that much either. It could lead to other issues later on. Also, what if someone wants to bring in their infant, toddler, or young child in for a month or so also. You might end up with a regular day care center. Just m…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-04-03 AT 02:29PM (CST)[/font][p][font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-04-03 AT 02:29 PM (CST)[/font] It's my understanding that Skelly only applies to public ee's in CA. Someone correct me…
  • > She did not follow the firm's risk management >procedures and did not leaving cover memos detailing each file's >status as requested. > "She did not follow the firm's risk management procedures"- that's clear enough. "She didn't d…
  • I'd tell her to take a lot more time away and give her the pink slip. What type of documents is she emailing? Could she do anything with these documents while she is gone next week? Whoever makes the decision needs to do it today and be done with it…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-23-03 AT 02:50PM (CST)[/font][p]I agree with CTHR. TERM HER. You say you have all your documents in order so you're fine. Anyone can do a claim about anything. You have warned her and she is still …
  • It is my understanding that holiday pay is a benefit determined by the company. The laws may vary by state or unless you have a bargaining agreement, time and half pay or any holiday pay is up to the employer. We only pay holiday pay to ee's who ar…
  • CAL is right Don. You'd probably be better off using a thumbs up sign. Although I think in some parts that might mean something else too.
  • Not yet that I know of. But it's a good idea to have some forms and policies in other languages depending on your demographics. I'm in CA too and I'm sure it's just a matter of time before it becomes a law. If you provide policies in a language oth…
