[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-18-04 AT 04:14PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Positions like these are, many times, fought out on a case-by-case basis, and are determined by their job responsibilities. My assistant, I believe, would be excl…

Hatchet: In a former life, were you an administrative law judge in WI? You sound like one I had for a case once. You, Don, and Mart, along with others make all the arguments I've had with myself. Yes, she is 'at will', yes we have a progressive …

She was doing a great job, and we're all blown away by this turn of events. My concern about bringing her back is that in WI, aggravation of a pre-existing condition qualifies as a WC injury, and if she's shown a pre-disposition like this, I'm c…
-
Pearce: That's why I posted, to get advice. Remember, she hasn't been here a year yet, so no FMLA. Of course, there's always ADA and the state equivalent, but my first reaction is that the apparent falsification of the injury and subsequent repor…

We're just going through that now, and are requiring the employee to have them updated. We didn't have a policy on it, and it went much too long, but we're addressing it now. I would think that every two years would be reasonable even for 'permane…

Director: Boy, Don hit the nail on the head with his answer. EVEN IF you had performance issues which you could document, you've doomed your case if you've tried to convince a 64 year old woman that it's time to retire. Not to be too pessimistic,…

HRQ and Paul raise valid questions. It would seem that you should get rid of this employee, but, in direct answer to your question, yes, you can lower an employee's salary, generally. It should be in your policy, and you shouldn't do it for an ill…

I don't believe she has provided ANY clear and convincing support for her belief; however, that may not make any difference. You have a duty to reasonably accommodate a sincerely held religious belief if it does not cause you an undue hardship. Ju…

I'm public sector also, and here are my thoughts: One: You should have a drug free workplace policy in place. With/without random or for cause testing, the drug free workplace policy ought to permit termination for posession or sales in the workp…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-19-03 AT 11:49AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Try 'Weingarten rights' Don't know that I'd send someone to a conference which gives an answer like this. Edit: On the other hand, while the employee doesn't hav…

THANK YOU, TN! Good grief, get a grip, people! I understand some of this is in jest, but this paranoia about germs is making me crazy. You're all out to get me! What are you, a bunch of (Forum)maniacs?
-
Don't know the legalities of it, but this is a fairly regular practice in WI. Police send in a minor to purchase cigarettes or beer and cite the owner and/or the cashier.
-
I probably have a little different view on this subject since I am in the public sector and most of my records are open to the public: Under Wisconsin law, as stated above, employees certainly do have a right to inspect their own personnel records.…

The employee can't keep you from calling an ambulance, but on our ambulances, we allow the 'patient' to sign a declination form which says they were offered transport and refused.
-
That is the question! You certainly don't have any liability if she decides not to use the spot you have provided. Without knowing her disability (does it affect her differently on different days, etc?), she may have a valid reason for using it so…
-
Mostly, it would depend on your policies. Now seems like a poor time to switch this employee to 'part time plus', just when they're working 40 hours per week. And, this is a mystery to me: Why would anyone in their right mind agree to work 'at le…
-
Seems to me that you have a pretty good system: employee clocks in and out on your phone system, and that is compared to documentation that is verified by the client. What more could you ask for an employee who works at a remote site(s)? Unless t…

Leslie: I agree with your thoughts on the subject. Didn't your mother have some kind of saying about eating a bushel of dirt by the time you died? I'm of the opinion that our world is too clean today and our kids don't develop the immunities they…

Probably a good request; we usually ask about a candidate's last review, but who keeps copies of their reviews unless they know they're going to be job hunting? They've never been high on my list of collectables.

If I understand your question, the meetings would be between management and union representatives, and would look to an outsider, just like any other union negotiations. The real difference is that the union knows it has no power of compulsion (ca…

There are recognized 'meet and confer' units in the public sector. In some cases, state law requires the employer to meet with these units of employees, but the unions don't have any power of compulsion: no ability to strike or go to binding arbit…

deniseE: Thanks for your input. We do provide loss of time and medical coverage for our volunteers, and there is no question that our liability insurance would respond to losses caused by volunteers. My questions goes more to the FLSA implication…

Unfortunately, IL followed WI in its 'enlightened' approach to public sector bargaining and you now have some form of mediation/arbitration, right? Good Luck! Public employers in WI have been chipping away at health costs for the last several year…

Chari: Don't have the numbers with me at work, but right around $1000/yr; two cars, two drivers, clean driving records : ), collision, comp, liability, towing, uninsured/underinsured, etc. Also carry personal umbrella coverage of $1M which may be …
-
Unless there's a Florida law which would forbid it, I don't see why the employer cannot mandate higher coverage if the employees are driving their cars for business. Perhaps the employer could help make up for the mandate with a higher mileage allo…

Pork: You've been eating too much pork. : ) Unless your general actually did walk around with "porker chips". He must have been prescient. I agree with your thought; 'spot awards' are in favor, and may be a good way to recognize extra effort.
-
I've never heard of one, but just what kind of a retentive management team do you work for? : )
-
Does your guy play guitar, love music, and go around saying: "AAARRR"? (Pirate talk) I didn't know someone could commute to a second job that far. If you figure out how to handle this guy, let me know, we have his twin. Ours apparently has bett…

Since you appear to be a public university system, there are probably state rules/laws on what is public information and what is not. In WI, 'finalists' for a position are public information and cannot be withheld, however; candidates who do not ma…
