[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-21-03 AT 02:26PM (CST)[/font][p]Scott if I were personally involved in the scenario you gave, I'd get over it. I could care less about rumors of that nature as I'm sure there are worse ones about me f…

I'll chime in here and side more so with Don. A website done outside of work is different than a stalker or verbal assault because a website has to be accessed by the "victim". The victim has to go to the website and see what it says about them, w…

This was a great thread. I just remembered I recently saw a job posting for an HR Generalist on a well known HR website that specified the need to be a "Christian". I thought to myself, wow there's a eeoc claim waiting to happen. I'm a Christian…

That was great Parabeagle. Do you really live in Oregon? I always thought Oregon was more on the PC vibe than other states. That's why they call CA,OR and WA the Left Coast. One of my biggest issues with being in HR is having to deal with all the…

I'll just add that I need as few headaches as possible in this job since I deal with enough already. By adding the religious comment with or without quotes leaves me and my company vulnerable to a possible future conflict- regardless of the validity…

Does anyone recall when "Power Naps" were coming into vogue? It was believed that they increased productivity by giving the person an added boost towards the afternoon. I take naps sometime, but they are during a break or lunch. And that's only i…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-15-03 AT 06:33PM (CST)[/font][p]Actually I already met with the person. He came in and met me. What I did was pay him the call back time to meet with me and I added 2 hours for the drive because I'm …

Thanks for the suggestions. I think that the final wages are due immendiately based on Section 201 of the CA labor code. So, I'm just going to meet them in person. They shouldn't have done what they did to get fired in the first place. Thanks ag…

Let's see, here are my initial thoughts on this. I don't know if I would term for job abandonment since you made initial contact with the spouse and acknowledged her reason given to you for the absences. I think I would term for lying about the re…

What does your company policy say? If it seems like she is in violation of the policy (which she probably is) then question her about it and find out who and why she is emailing the info. Then proceed from there.

I agree with the above. Try to get something documented, good documentation helps a great deal. To the issue of the comment, these are separate issues, but if the ee made a complaint make sure you have all your ducks in a row regarding the tardines…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-12-03 AT 11:56AM (CST)[/font][p]I don't believe you are obligated to give out that info to them, and I wouldn't give them any info they are requesting. That is way too much personal info to be asking…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-09-03 AT 03:32PM (CST)[/font][p]So am I understanding it correctly that the tellers at the other branches are working less transactions (not as busy), working more hours (still not busy hours), and ge…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-09-03 AT 01:49PM (CST)[/font][p]Since they have changed their name legally they should be either receiving or have received a new social security card. The name on the ssc must match the name in your …

I think you need to give more info on the situation. I know of a company that just recently fired someone on military duty for violating the company's harassment policy, but they fired the person without hearing his side of the story since he was s…

Why are they being asked if they have a car? Is it because they need to drive supplies to the site and back in their own vehicle? Or is it to see if they can show up to work? If it is the latter I wouldn't ask it. I'm not sure if I would ask it per…

Valentine, we have the same policy here and it works for us most of the time. And I'm in CA. Only once I had to go to a hearing and explain our policy and show that the ee knew of the policy and we won the hearing.

Don, my fingertips only go to the center of my thigh also. I guess whoever came up with the fingertip policy in my company had some really long arms.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-02-03 AT 01:06PM (CST)[/font][p]We have a policy that states failing to turn in lost articles or money is grounds for disciplinary action including termination. Any unclaimed property gets destroyed o…

No, It's just a California thing.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-01-03 AT 12:05PM (CST)[/font][p]I think that question would even throw me for a loop. I really don't know what someone who doesn't like me would say. I typically don't spend a lot of time with peopl…

The above are good examples. I do a lot of presceening interviews and I always try to probe deeper by asking for examples from them. When I ask what their previous employers would say about them, I always ask for an example of WHY they would say t…

I agree with Ray. Especially if the verbal complaints have been to HR or another supervisor, there is then an obligation on the employer's part to investigate and resolve anyhing if needed. It's not here-say if the person complaining is the one bei…

Pork, (master of the CAP LOCK KEY) do you check your SSN online or through the telephone service? I know that the SSA has started doing number checks online but I thought it was just a pilot program with only a few employers able to do it.

So what happens if a person can provide documents to fulfill the I-9 requirements other than by using the SS Card, but they can't provide their SS Card to fulfill the payroll requirements? I understand that the names must match the government's reco…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-28-03 AT 01:07PM (CST)[/font][p]I haven't had to deal with this yet, but I'm sure I will soon. This issue of "privacy" and ss numbers is growing. I don't believe he has any recourse and he is requir…

Ana, the flag reference was not against you it was referring to another heated post a few months ago. I'm sorry it went over your head since you are new. This forum is filled with a plethora of professional HR people that know what they are talki…
