Hmmmm. I'm going to take a contrary view of this subject: While reviewing the resume, I'm certainly going to wonder about the two year gap, and I'd prefer have an explanation in front of me.

Since this appears to be your first run-in with this employee, I'd take a reasoned approach for the time being. I do think it is necessary for you to have another meeting with her, and calmly inform her about what you expect of her. It IS one of h…

I think we all deal with some similar type of law. In WI, the latest things the Attorney General and District Attorneys are going after are 'negative quorums' (enough individuals to keep an action from being passed) and 'walking quorums' (telephone…

Jaybird: Having worked in the public sector for 23 years now, I say: Good Luck. I would suggest this: Do as Cinderella suggests and work to keep the central personnel file in HR with I-9s, W-4s, benefits info, medical, etc. The departments, esp…

Sorry, I don't really know, and it's hard to research. It's part of a very comprehensive law on deceptive advertising. I once had these possible explanations given to me: 1) You are an at will employer. Mary works for you and has skills which w…

Also, depending which state you're in, misleading the public in this way is called deceptive advertising, and IS against the law. In WI, it is against the law to place an advertisement for positions which you have no intent to fill.

I would be very honest with him. I'd tell him up-front that you know about his past employment and that he falsified his application. Why give him an excuse to believe that there's a chance it's discrimination? He would know the reason you're not…

I continue to share some of Don's early skepticism. You make $40K and there are a group of young male employees who make between $80K and $120K just getting into the sales field? Maybe I'm out of touch with reality, or your company must be one pro…

It is a new buzz word, and if the economy ever heats up, we may all be dealing with it. Remember a few years ago when there was going to be this huge shortage of available employees as the boomers retired? So far, the economy has taken care of the…

While I think you need to deal with the face paint, I'd tread lightly: employees like this are ingenious as you know. Would you make an employee after a Good Friday service take the ashes off their forehead? He'll come up with some religious sign…

Yes, I see a problem: I don't think you can do this legally. Unless these individuals have a painting business on the side, and would, therefore, qualify as independent contractors, at least she is not an IC. I don't think either one of them is b…

We did photo ID badges about a year and a half ago, didn't cause so much as a ripple. I don't know about the releases. What would employees be releasing their photos for? I think a general release which gives the company approval to use the pictu…

Linda: It's not a question of what may or may not be accomplished on a Friday night. The employee has put himself in the position of receiving a suspension based on his TOTAL attendance record. If he had been a good employee, he wouldn't find him…

Dragonlady: For the moment, you're still the company representative, being paid to do what's best for your employer. It's not best to put on the form that the employee was fired without cause or previous warnings. Since you don't know what happen…

I wouldn't be quite as laid back as some others. She's been taken out by ambulance 3 times, other times she recovers on her own. You don't have to worry about whether or not someone might think that you might know she has a medical condition that …

I like the idea of the consultant concept, but question its legality. Aren't you really saying you have an independent contractor situation? I doubt the person would qualify as an independent contractor. Does he/she have other clients, is there a…

mbeam: Wisconsin does have a statute (111.31) regarding discrimination based on the use or non-use of lawful products during nonworking hours. (Smokers' Rights) I don't recall any cases about lingering odors, but if a person was just 'using' on n…

I agree with Shadow's point, but am somewhat surprised by the remainder of the answers. While I've only 'broken up' a suspension like this on one occasion, what's the problem with enforcing the suspension on terms which are best for the business? …

Yes, you can require (unless state law prohibits it) employees to do errands with their own vehicles. As long as you pay them for their time and its part of their job responsibilities. Ever see an ad for a paper route or pizza delivery person: 'm…

Yes, at a 'blended' rate, in other words a weighted average of the rates earned during the first 40 hours.

Patti: You may not want to hear this, but here's my take on the situation: Your mother's employer has been good to her. They handled her 'retirement' very poorly, but: She worked there forever. They gave her four months off to take care of your…

There are a couple of strange things about your post: As far as I know, there is no cut-off age for a work comp claim. The carrier or the company is just wrong on denial of her claim if it did happen at work. Decent of the company to pay the clai…

The issue may very well be controlled by state law. In WI, an employee has a statutory right to view their file, and 'employee' is defined as including former employee as I recall it.

Why is payroll opening checks? They should have reports which give them the info they need.

What's a fellow woodbutcher doing on an HR site? I agree with the others. He's a bad hire, and during your trial period he's already shown himself to be so. Would you keep him if he didn't have a possible medical problem? Then don't keep him bec…

I didn't read into your post that you're not either paying or willing to pay for the lunch breaks when the employees are required to stay at their desks. If Nevada has a law requiring employees to have a lunch break, research the law and point out …

Ugly? I say carve a "V" in their foreheads for 'Violator', or , maybe, an "A" for 'Absent safety equipment' : ) Not a good idea. Allow your progressive warning system to work.
