  • We are self-insured also. We do include smoking cessation and drug/alcohol rehab, but limit these to 2 complete programs; i.e. if the employee or dependent goes through a program twice, that's it. Because we have our insurance administered by a thi…

    in Safety Committee Meeting Format and/or Outlines Comment by Holly March 2002

  • I'm with Don D. The DD-214 is a valuable tool, and in many cases with retired military the only true reference you're able to get (without waiting 6 months for verification from the DOD). And you definitely want to know what their status was on sep…
    in Interview Question (Military) Comment by Holly November 2002
  • Where did this supervisor do his/her residency? And when did the supervisor get the lab results showing that the employee had Strep??? Why would you punish an employee who wants to work? Maybe the supervisor has other "issues" with this employee?

  • Don, Thank you, I believe that's what I'll find; but it always seems there is some obscure overlooked regulation that we miss. So I thought I'd check with you all first.

  • If there is "chew spit" in the trash that one of your employees empties, you may be exposing them to "Blood Borne Pathogens". Hoo, Boy! Now it's an OSHA issue. I just love to read these forums.

  • So the English speaking employees don't laugh and gossip about co-workers? Perhaps what you really have is a diversity issue. How long have the bi-lingual employees been at work in the unit? Can you assign them to rotate working with other members…

  • Having worked both as a teller and as a manager...are you positive it wasn't the customer's employee, or an error on the customer's part? Does any other employee cover the window?

    in Plant Closing??? Comment by Holly January 2002
