  • Wow! HRManager with just two employees? Where do I get a job like that? Seriously, I assume two part time employees. Since most jurisdictions (US) don't mandate vacations and holidays, you get to set the rules.
    in Part time vs Half Time Emplpoyee Comment by Hunter1 January 2003
  • It seems to me that the difference between part time and half time would generally be a differentiation that you might make as an employer. For instance, you might prorate some benefits for employees who work half time, but not below that level. T…
    in Part time vs Half Time Emplpoyee Comment by Hunter1 January 2003
  • Wow, this is a minefield. Accepting the facts as stated, I believe you're going in the right direction, but you have to have a lot of confidence in the CEO and the information you've received. This could turn into an investigatory meeting at the d…
    in EE acused of serious wrongdoing Comment by Hunter1 January 2003
  • Well, I haven't planned as well as Don, and have missed a few of those opportunities, but not very many. The best thing I'd say is that I've had a very positive attitude about my job for the 21 years I've been in my present position. I like my emp…
    in regrets?, none here! Comment by Hunter1 December 2002
  • Thanks, Don! I had composed an answer to this post, and deleted it, but it went along these lines: I'd like to hear the other side of this story, AND, maybe, just maybe, Ramirez could have noted that this is an employER forum, and while I don't li…
    in fired ,and is the reason legal? Comment by Hunter1 December 2002

    in Union Decertificiation Procedures Comment by Hunter1 December 2002
  • You have a union contract; it should either have a re-val process, or a new rate should be determined at contract time (if warranted). As you know, one time does not create a practice, so changing one employee's rate mid-term should not be a proble…
    in Union Job Evolves - More $ Comment by Hunter1 December 2002
  • One of my favorite questions for reaction is: "Think about this for a minute before you answer...Tell me about the most important compliment you have received on your work." Some blurt out the first thing that comes to mind in spite of the admonit…
    in offbeat but effective interview questions Comment by Hunter1 December 2002
  • Have to agree with the 'banker' on this one. Unless there's something dangerous about your workplace, I see nothing wrong with managers working alone. I've had employees who think that there's a law (or should be) that they don't have to work alon…
    in Working alone in the workplace Comment by Hunter1 November 2002
  • Kudos to you Cindy. If your policy works, and is legal, stick to it. If most of the messages were correct, an employer could never reduce an employee's pay. Increase, OK, decrease, never. In Wisconsin, police officers have that protection, (not …

  • Hello, all: OOPS Need some advice along these same lines: We are a public entity, and just spent a substantial amount of money to install a fairly sophisticated security system throughout our Water Utility, including intrusion alarms for facili…
