  • I'm assuming that in those documents there was PHI? Meaning, did it list her name (or other personal info) as well as her condition? If so, then yes, you do need to get all copies of that back immediately. Unfortunately it won't end there though.…

  • Bravo Trinity!! xclap This is how we handle it. It also gives the present supervisor the chance to either 'tell of a current performance issue' or 'sing the praises of' their employees. There is no greater kudos for a manager than knowing they'v…
  • Jane, His own personal website that has nothing to do with work? I don't think there's anything you can do, unless he's abusing company time to update his personal website. Your employees could consult an attorney regarding their rights against d…

  • >It's phrased this way on our applications, "If hired, can you furnish >proof you are eligible to work in the United States?" Ditto here...the response is a yes/no with a line underneath for if no, please explain.
  • I agree with those who have responded, you can't require a note 'certifying' that someone has seen a doctor for something that 'appears' to be an illness. If an employee is out however for a certain length of time, you can require a note that indic…

  • This is the text as it appears at the site...I too had to look it up recently:§ 805. Communication in connection with debt collection [15 USC 1692c] (a) COMMUNICATION WITH THE CONSUMER GENERALLY. Without the prior consent of the consumer give…
  • One sure way to find the culprit...run a DNA test...bring in the CSI crowd! x:D

  • Thank-you all for responding. This is not a safety issue Pork...and I agree with you Gillian in that the supervisor should learn the language enough to get by and communicate if need be with the employees.
  • If you are a newsletter subscriber and have access to the searchable >database, log into the system and click on the "HR Search Engine." Tony, Unfortunately we are not a subscriber. I can't seem to convince anyone of the worthiness of this s…
  • Ditto here... First question is an absolute yes, second question is most definitely!!
  • Yikes indeed!!!!! I would consider this employee to (at the least!) have very poor judgement skills and term them immediately. I agree with the previous posters to this thread that it could be considered stealing. I'd check with an attorney to be…
  • In this case, I'd say go with your gut and not hire him. If it wasn't for a teller position, maybe you give him the benefit of the doubt (embarassment or whatever he felt) and say something to the effect of, "I'm about to verify your employment (ev…
  • I have refrained up until now from posting on this thread. Seeing all of the comments posted and the uproar it has seemingly created, has spurred me to post. It is truly sad that in today's world, one has to be so careful about what they say or wh…
  • mady, I agree with all who've posted so far. Regardless of what the clients needs are, you have employee's concerns and feelings to consider. Maybe it's not a vanity issue or a self esteem issue...maybe underlying she's concerned with a potential…

  • We converted recently to PTO as well. Basically, we set a date for the conversion to be in effect, then we converted their current time into a grandfathered bank that they could use up until a certain date (I believe after 1 year it's frozen) until…
  • First thing I would do if I were you TES is to hire a company who does credit checks. We do credit histories on all positions requiring travel as well as higher level management positions. Within our application process we have a form, with a disc…

  • Actually, today is a veritable heat wave...It's going to make it into the 30's!! It's the first day I can actually feel my fingers while typing in my office in 2 weeks!
  • Come on now, quit hogging all the warm air and ship it to the east coast! I can't take another day of this artic air...and sub zero wind chills!
  • One question: Do your employees accrue sick time, or do you just allow a certain number (or unlimited number) of days to use for being "out sick"? If it's their time, then they can use it however they feel if it's being deducted from a 'bank'. Gr…

  • That all managers were always perfect in their dealings with employees, from hire to fire. i.e, no discriminatory remarks, giving the benefit of the doubt, training where necessary, encouragement when needed, etc. It's not too much to ask, is it?
  • We use an agency called Lee Hecht Harrison. We provide different levels of outplacement, depending on the level of the employee. I.E. A VP would get more services because it is usually harder to find a comparable job at that level. Hope this help…
  • I've since seen another good quote: "The happiest people do not have the best of everything; they make the best out of what they have."
  • Don't know how religious you all are...but these can get you through some tough times... 1} Learn to let go and let God. 2} Lord, remind me that nothing is going to happen to me today that you and I can't handle together. 3} If God brings you to…
