There are a lot of people, in the face of disciplinary action, will try to shift the blame from themselves to others to try to get out of trouble. If you have asked for specific information and he is unwilling to give it to you, then I don't think …

Remember that exempt status means that you don't get paid overtime. If the job takes you longer than your "normal" work schedule to complete, then you still get the same set amount of pay as you always do. For example, if someone normally works M-…

Our payroll is outsourced, although my CFO is considering bringing it in-house. I am in the process of trying to convince her to not do that. We pay our employees biweekly. I also am not a fan of off-cycle payrolls. It is a rare occasion when I w…

Cappy - Hope you were out of the office for vacation or a meeting and not because something was wrong. I would like a copy of the plan as well, please. infotechnologyhr @ gmail.com Thanks!

[quote user="Anne Edwards"]I am not sure I agree with the reply below regarding the employer's "right" to require you to provide a doctor's certification for birth of a child. The law specifies that the "birth of a child" is a qualified reason. "Se…

Are you talking internally or externally? Most corporate policies I have seen for internal job postings required at least 5 business days. I have also seen some that required the posting internally to remain up as long as the posting was out there…

I am really surprised by some of the doctors answers as the situation could potentially be worse after the procedure is done and they find out what is really going on. I would think the doctor would want to leave some room in case other treatment …

I agree with TX. Paying a salaried person "overtime" can lead to questions like, "Why don't I get overtime every time I work extra hours on a project?" If you feel that someone has gone above and beyond the call of duty to help your organization t…

I don't have this in writting, but I was on a webinar yesterday with an attorney who gave the recommendation that any and all things related to benefits should be kept in a seperate folder from the personnel files.

Good question TX! I have seen many times lawyers will give companies advice on changing a position from exempt to non-exempt, but they forget to talk about the ramifications if one of these employees decides "Oh, well then all those weeks I worked …

If you are a member of SHRM, they are hosting a webcast about workplace drug testing tomorrow (April 29th) at 2pm EST. They are supposed to talk about legal requirements and pitfalls to avoid. It may be worth your while to attend.

What is the rationale behind this? If you are ok with other prescription drugs, then why not this one? Have you asked your MRO about this?
-
I think you have an ADA issue on your hands and you need to start the interactive process with this employee. Many of these medications say not to operate machinery and/or heavy equipment.

Are you a member of this website - HR.BLR.com? They may have a sample letter for you to use based on the requirements for MO.

I agree that this seems to have quieted down a bit, but I don't think it is dead in the water. Just about every publication/newsletter that I receive from national and local law firms are still talking about this and what to do if it comes to pass. …

As you said there are so many factors that are involved, but the last I heard the average was about 8-10% increase. In my opinion on the issue of the broker, I wouldn't give up my broker and go straight to the insurance company. There have been m…

I think it is attorney time on this one. The fitness cert suggestion given by TXHRGuy is a good one, but this is a situation that you will need to tread very lightly. There are multiple issues here and I would consult an attorney before you make a…

I think TXHRGuy is right - cut and paste sounds like your friend. You could ask them if they would accept the documents as a .pdf if they won't accept a word document.

Since others have talked about the legality issue, I will go in a different direction. How about writing a policy that talks about appropriate computer usage, internet usage (including sites only for business purposes, as many of the viruses that a…

LauLan - any luck finding some software for the AAP? I have only ever used lawyers to help with this.

Here is why I like to keep work and personal stuff completely seperate. This is like a bank giving an employee a mortgage or loan and then trying to pull the money out of the persons paycheck to pay an outstanding amount. The raise has nothing to …

No matter what you choose to put on this automated response, make sure you follow through with those things. If you decide to put that you will get back to all candidates then make sure that you do. Otherwise you will have candidates calling you s…

[quote user="TXHRGuy"] Pay them more? [:O] [/quote] Come on TXHRGuy, haven't you said before that paying someone more isn't always going to make them happier or improve morale??!!!??? Depending on the culture of your organization there are lots o…

When the person said he was unable to return from leave, did you have him sign a resignation letter?

I can understand where Chicago1 is coming at based on the info given, but I have to agree with TXHRGuy that it is better to not allow anything. After having worked for a company that was under attack by a union to get into our organization, we foun…

I don't ever give out specifics. The moment you start to do that you will have a candidate begin to argue with you about what skills they do have and why you should have picked them. Also candidates may try to use some of that information to build…

What does your handbook or polices say about your disciplinary (PIP process)? Does it just state the process or does it give the company some leverage to change the process based on the circumstances/severity of the infraction? One thing I have se…

I have seen companies that put it on the intranet and also companies that pass it out. It really is going to depend on your environment. If you have a lot of employees that don't use a computer for their daily work duties and may not use one at ho…

You can deduct from a person's vacation bank, but if he/she does not have the time in the bank then you can not deduct from a salary exempt person's pay for the snow day, even if he/she did not work any part of that day.

I think you are going to see her move quickly on these pro-union issues and I don't think it will be pretty. I think some employers are really going to suffer from this. Take it from someone who has been through a union attack before. It was an all…
