Somehow my message posted before I was finished. Let's try this again... Ok couple of questions for you. If you are not being notified of the accidents/injuries, who is completing the OSHA log? Who is taking the employee to the doctor and monitor…

Ok couple of questions for you. If you are not being notified of the accidents/injuries, who is completing the OSHA log? Who is taking the employee to the doctor and monitoring the WC cases to ensure that the employee is following doctors orders a…

TXHRGuy raises a good point. If the number of preventable accidents keeps rising, then maybe you need to document, discipline, and possibly even terminate some people if they are not following the safety rules. Depends on the message you want to s…

In the past, when I worked in the manufacturing industry, we would do things like buy lunch for the shift that had 0 accidents/near misses each quarter, give something to the person that reported a potentially unsafe condition, etc. One thing to con…

I don't think she has ever won an Oscar.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this system giving you similar information to what you would receive in a SS Mismatch letter? You are just being proactive in using the system, rather then waiting to receive the letter? I would follow the guide…

I haven't seen this mailing but in my opinion recruiting needs to be a combination of many things in order to be successful. Recruiting from within is a good thing as long as the person is put in the right job and given the tools to succeed. If it…

I agree with Pammcconnell that you can't possibly put every situation in a policy. I also think that you need to take these unusal sitations on a case by case basis. For example, say you have the husband of one of your office employees pass away u…

My policy currently allows for up to 5 days of leave for the death of an immediate family member. Immediate family member is defined as a spouse, child, parent, brother, sister, grandparent, great-grandparent, grandchild, step parent, step sibling,…

I agree with HRforMe. I have spoken with a couple of attorneys and tax professionals who say that most of these contracts will not hold up in court. One of these individuals suggested a way to word the contract similar to what HRforMe was talking …

HRforMe - I can understand why you would have a jaded view of soliciation after having to deal with a situation like that. We do a lot of community service projects here (food to a local shelter, helping out a family at Christmas time with presents …

RuthG hit the nail on the head. If the employee worked the time, even when you have told them they are not allowed to work overtime, you must pay them. If you are an HR professional I would do some training on this to make sure that all your manager…

I agree with the other posters. If this employee is going to another office, in addition to her normal office, then she deserves to get reimbursed for her expenses. The current IRS Mileage Reimbursement rate is 50.5 cents per mile. If you choose n…

I understand your concern about retaliation but I think you still need to discipline for this issue. Getting 1099's done on time is not just a company policy but it also a federal law. This employee has caused you to violate this law. He needs to …

This website, HR.BLR.com, has a state by state comparison chart that gives the laws about direct deposit. You can find it by clicking on the State Comparison Charts link under Quick Links. The name of the document is Wage Payment Laws, by State. h…

I agree with the other two postings that this is a very tricky thing. For succession planning reasons I have asked key executives and high level managers about future career goals (I have never phrased the question in regards to retirement). I hav…

It is hard to discipline an attitude, as that is very subjective. If his attitude is affecting his performance then you can discipline him for not doing his job. There was another posting not too long ago that talked about an issue like this. ht…

Here's another point - what if the person leaves his/her job and then tries to go get another job? Would you hire someone who has admitted on national TV that they have stolen money at another job? Something tells me that this issue is going to be…

I use the email reminder approach and it seems to help for a little while. My emails are entitled "Playing nice in the Sandbox." The one thing that has also helped is that a couple of people have been caught in the act and have been confronted by …

I agree with the other posters that you have just cause to terminate this employee. I also agree that suspensions usually don't work either. I have used them in the past to conduct an investigation to make sure we had all the facts correct prior to…

I have alwasys said there are certain things that should not be discussed at work and politics is one of them. Invariably it leads to a pretty heated debate. If this is happening I would try to shut it down. I have seen situations where discussio…

I just read that the Dept of Labor is supposed to release the new proposed rules for FMLA today, February 11th.
-
I just read another article on SHRM's website that says some of the proposed changes would be modest changes to include things like medical certification for leave requests, waivers and notification of FMLA rights and guidelines for when approved le…

The only thing I have heard is that the DOL is supposedly going to propose revisions that would restrict an employee's ability to request FMLA leave after-the-fact.

Pam - I have never sought to recover benefits. Even when I worked for a Fortune 500 company we didn't do this. As you mentioned it was an image thing and also someone else mentioned the small claims issue. It would have cost us more money to go a…

I agree with TXHRguy, but I would add this. If you have a resignation form then I would have them sign the form. My form has a place for the employee to put his/her last day of work and then sign their name (then there is no concern or guessing whe…

TXHRGuy - I have had similiar situations. One that comes to mind is when the wife of one of my employees called asking specific questions about her husbands' compensation plan, benefits, etc. I don't give out information to non-employees, in fact …

One of the managers in my office this morning was talking about a speech she had heard that discussed the progression through life and how adults sometimes revert back to acting like children. Reading all of these makes me believe that is so true. …

1. Go around yelling F you to all your coworkers in the middle of the production floor. 2. After a workplace harassment investigation finds there is no evidence you did anything wrong, and you have been through retraining related to workplace hara…

Does the employee have to log in securely using a username and password to give this authorization or is there just a website they can go to and fill out a form? Many of the HR Info Systems have a log in for each employee where they can view payrol…
