What's a diversion? I used to be a cop and I don't know, although I've participated in all kinds of diversions in my life. : ) Most of which I won't admit to.

That's why I can never find anything in our library!!! All of our pages work more than two hours a day. Good grief, hire better people. If a surgeon could only concentrate for two hours, none of us would live through bypass surgery. Sure, you ca…

My initial reacion to your question was: He** yes, you want to go back into HR, but as I thought about it for a little, maybe it's not the line of work for you. I think most of us on this board like what we do, but each of us has had to deal with …

Now don't everyone jump on me, I know that titles don't mean anything as far as classification is concerned, but HR Support Specialist doesn't 'sound'like an exempt position. The AD is correct, you classify positions by duties, not titles, so if …

I like mwild's approach, straighforward and informative. I would tend to disagree with the value of reading cover letters. In most circumstances, the resume has been proofread by five people, polished, sprinkled with key words (multi-tasking being…

Check your state law, in WI, the request must be granted within 7 working days. I always thought that was a long time.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-21-05 AT 11:43AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Larry - How right you are. But, then, we felons have to work somewhere. The pivotal case in WI is one in which a person threw hot grease at his live-in, missed h…

Unfortunately, this is the kind of comment that you let go by at your peril. At a minimum, I'd interview her to see if there's more to the story than just a passing comment. Your investigation in this situation is part of your defense down the roa…

Linda: Two thoughts - Do you have a practice in regard to missed overtime, or this type of situation? Second - try to get language in your contract which specifically states that the only recourse in this type of situation is the next available OT…

Your last sentence sums it up. Remember that two of the biggest mistakes employers make are failure to document, and changing reasons for the termination after the fact, so if you do anything, make sure it is the reason that you'll stick to through…

You can and should check social security numbers with ssa.gov 'business services organization'. Go on the site and they explain what you need to do, then you can check up to five names at a time by toll free number. I'm going to assume that if you…

Sam: As you know, there is a different standard in public sector regarding random testing and privacy interests. Have you made the case that building inspectors are in safety sensitive positions?

There a number of considerations to take into account in deciding whether or not this guy is an independent contractor (do a Google search on the term), and, unless this guy is going to hang up his shingle and provide his services to others as well,…

The truth is always a good place to start. I think you've given her good advice. I'd suggest saying that we've decided to promote from within rather than say 'hire', and if it's true, she could elaborate a little by saying that the internal candid…

The second individual is the injured employee. The third is the witness. The first employee did not have the injured employee's permission. Crout: You are correct, ten years is long enough to let bygones be bygones, BUT, this incident is almost …

I do use a structured interview list of questions; that doesn't mean that I can't stray from the list to follow-up, etc. I'm looking for a fit from both a knowledge/experience standpoint as well as from a personality standpoint. How would this per…

Wow! This is an old post to have dredged up. Joycel: The answer to your question is that there isn't a tactful way to address this person. "She can be a difficult person to talk to.", and, you have already had one discussion with her concerning …
-
Thank you, Julie for the response. I, too, have written things which, in retrospect, I would have written differently. We're all 'experts' when critiquing someone else's work, but when invited to do a submission for one of your publications, I dec…

I disagree with the others. If you are paying these positions correctly in the market, you need to let her go and recruit someone else. Unless your job market is MUCH different than mine, there are others who are looking for jobs. The big problem…

You can also schedule the suspension at your convenience. Certainly it should be reasonably close to the infraction, but, there's absolutely no reason you cannot suspend her for Tuesday, Wed, and Thur of the second week of next month. Gives her so…

Marc: We need to be careful not to give nietra the impression that he/she can do pre-offer physical exams. Don's reasons for doing exams are a good compilation of reasons, and I'd emphasize one of them: If you don't to drug tests, the word will g…

I agree with the Beagle. A flex schedule in this instance is a good thing, but, remember, the needs of the business should come first. Are there good reasons that you need to have him there on a 'regular' schedule, or is it better for him to be ab…

Oh, come on, it might work - if you have no production schedule to keep, no work that has to get done, at least two employees to do each job, etc. Sounds like a new form of 'family friendly' workplace. Go for it!

fondy: Enable your user profile. I assume you're from Fond du Lac with that name. We're public sector from 25 miles south of you if you're in Fond du Lac, and our ethics code is fairly simple: we're allowed to accept gifts up to $10.00 in value,…

I agree with you. In addition to this being a poor selection from a morale standpoint, and seemingly rewarding a poor employee, you stand a good chance of losing this person to discplinary action before she is able to do the training with fellow em…

_ _it happens. Not to bother you too much, but we had an employee do this about two years ago. In the first year her spouse cost our plan just over a quarter million. Thank heaven for HIPAA and coverage portability, no pre-ex, etc. : (

Whatever kind of hit the nail on the head by saying that the PBM and TPA don't care, they just pass along the cost. Since we are self-funded, we are the insurance company. If we paid premiums to a carrier, does anyone think the carrrier would just…

Don: Thanks for the help! : ) SMace: This is exactly the 'head-in-the-sand' approach I don't want to take. I have concerns for my employee's safety and that of their family and the rest of the community. We had another employer in the communit…

Best to get it in writing, but even that may not be ironclad. Your friend should look into both city ordinances and state law, either or both can be controlling. In general, at least in Wisconsin, even one City Council cannot commit another (later…

Gee, I wish I had learned to use those smiley faces!
