Thank you for your response. Now that I think about it, I believe what I heard was about the ADA. So if it falls under ADA, can a department manager "write-up" either individual for excessive abscences? Or if they're using PTO time will it matter…

I thought my commute was long. Admirable indeed! I could never do it unless work was within a few blocks of my home. Right now I'm about 35 miles from work, take mostly highways and get there in about an hour. There is no way I could get to work…

Other than the Singing in the Rain and the April Showers themes which I instantly thought of as well, you could tie it into other things having to do with Spring. Sports, local state or town tradition, etc. Have a local baseball team thats doing w…

Lola, I have interviewed a hearing impaired applicant before. They actually came with an interpreter to the interview. You will probably want to check with the applicant to see if they will need you to provide one. One key thing to remember, t…

Well said Ritaanz. And congrats on your 1,000 post! xclap

So, what have you decided to do? You've gotten some good advice and I agree that if she is a good employee and the hairstyle is not a direct violation of your policy, then there isn't anything you should do other than to talk to the complaining emp…

Kudos to you for wanting to make sure that you've looked into covering your bases. I know someone who spent the better part of his life feeling as if he should have been a woman. He got married and had children because it was what society called f…

Try adopting a "business casual" environment. In a call center, employees may not make enough to afford professional attire and you said it yourself, they have no contact with the public. Business casual can mean a nice pair of jeans (no rips or c…

I taylor my phone screens to the job I am recruiting for. But basically I want to know what interested them about our company, what interests them about the position and what do they have to offer us. I would steer clear of the personal questions …

Can't help you with the raise part, that hasn't yet been decided. As far as the salary ranges, try: [url]http://www.salary.com/salary/layoutscripts/sall_display.asp[/url] Best of luck!

I hate to say it, but I would fire him. You say you have a "strict" non-solicitation policy, he was warned before and now he's trying to get a subordinate to do it for him. Have you had this scenario before? What did yo do then? If you haven't h…

Thank-you everyone for your response. I did use the time wisely to go through resumes I was screening for another position. It was just frustrating to say the least when each time I said, "Thank-you, I look forward to seeing your resume," would re…

I would say one or two weeks per year of service. You can always put a cap on the number of weeks given. This way you don't have a 20 year employee getting either 20 weeks or 40 weeks. You can also have two different package levels for exempt vs …

Crout, I'm trying to decide if that's a compliment or not. So, being the eternal optimist I am, I will take it as a compliment!

We have it on an intranet and it is infinetly easier to maintain and cost effective. We do an acknowledgement form signed by everyone that they know where it is. We have PC's that employees can use to access the intranet, if they don't already hav…

Beagle, I am so sorry that you have to go through this. The first time is always hard, and unfortunately it doesn't get easier. Compassion is key and hearing it from you is best in my opinion. I have found that people are not naive and are usua…

As I said in post #4, it depends on the exact wording of your policy or contract. Yes, you have answered your own question. Don is right, you should look at updating this policy in the future.
-
I agree Don. Not all decisions are easy ones, but if we follow the policy, consistently every time, there shouldn't be any problems. The toughest decisions that we have made (i.e. terming someone around a holiday), will tug at the proverbial heart…

It's as I said earlier, err on the side of compassion. Put yourself in that employees shoes. You just lost most, if not your entire family in a fire (and you may be the only survivor). Your boss tells you, "sorry, since you lost them all at the s…

In the interest of compassion, I personally would grant the person the six days (and have them request personal time if they needed more). I could not imagine have just 3 days to recover from losing a mother and a brother in so short a time frame, …

We too had an application very similar to yours in wording. We have since updated and ask very simply, "If hired, can you furnish proof that you are eligible to work in the US? __Yes __No" We do not ask the military question on the application, it…

JM, Was she a good employee when she was there? How much of the job requirement would be to drive? You say only when and if needed, is it less than 5% of the time? Do you have a drug and alcohol policy? I know I've asked more questions than ans…

Don't forget the cure to the common cold too! x:P

PORK, there is no reason to 'yell' at JM. Please remember that all caps is signifying 'yelling' and it doesn't help to get a point across better. I for one agree with JM in that I'm not apt to agree with a term immediately, but then I do not know …

I want to know why now? Why one year later? Has something been going on at work between these two to bring this up again? Nevermind that it should have been reported when it first happened.
