Here's the 'politically correct' answer in my jurisdiction: "When we decide to offer this type of product to our employees, we'll do an RFP, make a determination of which vendor is best, and invite that vendor in to do presentations." If everythin…

I agree with Crout; it's your call depending on the type of relationship you have with your union. Unless it says in the labor agreement that you have to provide, you don't have to. I worked in a place once where if the union president had broken…

Since the numbers are 'fairly accurate', you could sell the positive aspect of this: No need to remember to take your beginning and ending mileage. I always forget to take one or the other this would be great for me!

Never understood the rationale for this policy. Wouldn't do it under any circumstances. Just MHO

You bet! Of course, the other alternatives I either considered or tried were: electrical engineer, police officer, truck loader, butcher, factory worker, electronics technician, panel wireman, retail sales, print shop employee, and accountant. Th…

flaroyale: I think we got sidetracked about your initial question, which is really a tax question. Unless Florida has some regulations, and I can't help you there, you can pay for mileage and per diem whatever rate you want to pay, but if the expe…

Pork, to you and others who answer postings with responses which advise employees "how to own a good chunk of the company". How about some 'professional courtesy'? Why not have these posters attempt to get the problem straightened out with their re…

Well, since you were 60 when you got hired for your present position, you know there are employers out there who will hire employees at least close to your age. As you also know, many times us 'government employees' have somewhat of a stigma attach…

There's nothing in your post that indicates that this supervisor is doing anything illegal, so if the owner has faith in him/her, it seems like you're out of luck. As long as he/she is an equal opportunity jerk, it's just a bad situation. Doesn't …

mwild: aggravation of a pre-existing condition IS work comp under some state WC laws.

We do have labor agreements which have the rule that Margaret suggested, or a variation of it: all weeks but one have to be scheduled in full week increments, one week can be used by the day. It's been in practice for a long time, so it's well acc…

Thanks for the input thus far. Our vacation policy is a use it or lose it plan based on a calendar year. Employees accrue vacation on 1/1 as long as they're 'alive and kickin'. Pork: We will be glad to have this guy back, as I was happy to retur…

Don: Unfortunately, you're wrong. It is a state law "prohibiting an employer from using sound judgment in rejecting persons with conviction histories". In Wisconsin, the COURTS are the final authority in deciding which convictions might associate…
-
In WI, convictions have to be job related to be considered, and, HRQ, this would give you pause for thought: As I remember the case; ee loses job because he's convicted of injury to a child when he threw hot grease at his live-in, missed her and b…

I have been operating under the impression, possibly wrong, that the requirement of a 'general' degree is a pretty difficult requirement to justify. Certainly as gillian says, in engineering, teaching, nursing, etc, the degree relates to specific w…
-
My first reaction is that either a degree is required, or it's not. Can't have it both ways. If the degree is not required for some licensing/certification reason, then, generally, you cannot mandate a degree, and why would you want to pay someone…

You may never know what the adenda was here, but since you didn't even come close to mentioning anything actionable, it does seem like an unfortunate situation that we all get into sometimes. Don't let it stop you. I was fired from one job three t…

Make Work Comp claim. Flattened head must be compensable. : ) Sooner or later administrator will want to get rid of someone and wish action had been taken earlier. Until then, polish up the resume or 'learn to accept those things which you cannot…

mwild31: Don't get too down on George Carlin, as it says at the end of the linked message, he denies writing it. Thanks everyone for your input.

Sorry I can't help you ut with your wording, but you certainly seem to be on the right track as far as pay is concerned. Sounds like she is 'waiting to be engaged' as opposed to 'engaged to be waiting'. In my opinion, you wouldn't even have to pay…

Nope, documentation doesn't make a verbal into a written. Yes, it should be documented, by all means. Document it as a verbal.

We only give credit for continuous service, but do grant service for part-time employment as long as it's continuous. Sometimes, though, it does pain me. My assistant worked for me for seven years, then left for a year and came back. She now has …

It wasn't on this issue, but, rather, on the labor agreement as a whole. Unfortunately, we still haven't gotten any further than my last post. The union is still 'considering' my last offer.
-
Shadow & WT - Thanks for the input. Your two posts delineate my dilemma, whether it is best to leave it die of natural causes, or by doing so, am I only encouraging the behavior. Well, we're having our last negotiating session before mediation…
-
That one would be easy for me: We do have a rule against wearing any clothing with a commercial, vulgar, or obscene message.

It was a good and intuitive thing to do! Now, of course, you may have already read the posts about whether or not you want to allow him to record your meeting, but you certainly don't have to. And, since he was recording two different tapes, I wou…

Police forces do, and there's a reason: We need to worry about our employees exercizing their 'police powers' while they're on their other jobs. As soon as they take action on anything related to police work, they basically put themselves on duty …

Request For Proposals: For health insurance, fairly straight forward: This is the coverage we provide, this is our experience for the last three years, these are the changes we will consider, or you can make suggestions. What is the cost? What s…

National survey stuff that I've read says more like 20%+. If you renew under 15% for the same benefits, I'd say you are fortunate. I budgeted 15% and am having second thoughts.

I vote with the majority. Had a 26 year working foreman with the keys to everything, probably the most trusted employee in the department. We received, anonymously, a picture of him pumping gas into his personal vehicle from a City facility. Had …
