OP - what state are you in?
-
No big deal!! [:)] Sometimes we can all use some humor inserted where possible because of some of the situations we deal with!
-
Actually it is Ma'am! [:)] There is nothing wrong with bowling! That was just the example that I was laughing at. I always like to read your postings because you like to throw examples in there and they are usually humorous to me!
-
TXHRGuy - I always get a laugh out of your examples (bowling team member)!! I agree that this is taking things too far - regarding the fraternization outside of the office. It seems like the company is afraid that if people hang out together outsid…

HR Mouse - you mentioned that you were looking at revising your disciplinary policy. Here is a small piece of advice on that. Really look at your state law and/or consult your attorney before you do this. Here in the state of MD a progressive disc…
-
There is no doubt that this employee has many, many strikes against him! After rereading HR Mouse's last response, one other thing comes to mind. HR Mouse - you mentioned that this employee has a pattern of this behavior. Do you have any other do…
-
Despite the fact that this employee continues to display bad behavior, I do have one comment. In my opinion, before a meeting with all of the people you mentioned, I think this employee's manager and HR should have sat down with him to get his side…

The document I have about this topic gives this Labor Code as the place to look: CA Labor Code 1198.5, 1776; 8 CCR 3204 If you have a subscription to HR.BLR.com you should be able to look info up on that or ask a question to one of the experts on t…

NO! Please don't toss away I-9s for active employees. You must keep all I-9s for active employees!!! What TXHRGuy was saying is that if you terminate someone then you can toss the I-9 after one year or 3 years from the hire date, whichever is longe…

Try this: Va. Code Ann. tit. 40.1, 40.1-29(A)(1). I also found this website: http://www.doli.virginia.gov/whatwedo/labor_law/powp1_faq.html If you still can't find the answer then I would consult an attorney. I have used McCandlish Holton out of Ri…

Are you talking their commute to a jobsite from home and back or between different jobs sites during the workday? Here is the wording for the MD Division of Labor and Industry Website: "Time spent traveling or "commuting" to work is non-compensable …

Here are some things to consider: What are going to be reimbursable expenses? What will not be reimbursed? How often do you want the employee to turn them in (weekly, biweekly, monthly)? How long after the expense has occurred will you reimburse -…
-
Also it will help if you can show that you have had this issue in the past and you have taken the same course of action you are taking with this individual. You are being consistent in your disciplinary process, no matter if the person has a WC iss…

How old are the two individuals? Is the one you let go over the age of 40? Is the other one under the age of 40? That would be my only concern. I would give severence in this case and I would not fight the unemployment. The money the severence a…

Yes I have done this before. We did this to cover absences because we had gaps and no one to fill the role when someone was out. Basically we sat down with some of our more senior people and talked to them about being cross trained on every job on…
-
Not knowing your business and industry here are a couple of things that come to mind: 1. Take one of your more tenured employees and make him and her a floater. This way they will be able to cover different machines, stations to cover for absences …
-
Just a thought off the top of my head - if you have that much OT that needs to be filled, wouldn't it make sense to look at hiring a couple more people? I agree with the poster that said the more OT people work then productivity goes down, mistakes…
-
HRforMe - sorry to hear that you are going through all of this. It does sound like you planned ahead to make sure you were able to take care of your employees (which many companies don't plan like this). Let us know if you need anything. It may t…

Thinking about all of you in Texas. I hope none of you were in the middle of this mess. If so, let us know if you need anything.

Are any of you in the path of this next storm? It seems like TX is going to bear the brunt of the hurricane season this year!
-
Some of your questions are going to depend on your state law. What state are you located in? To answer some of your questions, I would not put the person on disability. That would just increase your lost work days for your OSHA log. You want as f…

Right, there is no federal law that says that private employers even have to give their employees vacation or sick benefits. This law is a state specific law for MD.
-
In the state of MD there has been a lot going on with this issue. Based on unpublished court decision in 2007 in MD, the MD Wage and Hour changed the rules to say that even if you had a policy in effect saying you did not have to pay out unused vac…

I put all of that stuff in the medical folder. That way it is all together, away from the personnel file.
-
Anything medical related (including enrollment forms) should be in a separate file away from the personnel file.

Consider him mgr - 15+ years Thought resume was cocky mgr - 5 years
-
He is located in MD. I actually did consider him for a position I am trying to fill but he didn't have all the technical knowledge that we want. I showed the resume to two different managers. One said consider him and the other said way too cocky…

I agree that talking to a an attorney is a good option. Here are a couple things for you to consider outside of the legal requirement (other than the good question that BarbieW brought up): Who will have access to retreive and see this document? …

Anytime you make a change there is likely to be drama, but when it comes to money there always seems to be drama!! I have done reviews both ways - on anniversary date and all together annually. I think there are pros and cons to both. Anniversary …

I don't think that these increases in the minimum wage are really going to help the situation. There will be some people that get an increase but I don't think a lot will. I live and work in a very high cost of living area. Most of the hourly sta…
