I would also suggest you find a replacement trainer. Nobody wants to be treated like an idiot at their job when they don't know what they are doing in the first place. Recommend that another employee be trained to be the trainer and get that guy a…

I agree with Don. However, top managers usually don't do anything about it either. Unless he/she starts getting the complaints directly and in volume. I would suggest that you bring this to the attention of her boss along with an action plan an…

I found it once just by doing a search on the net. Also, I think the HR Qicklist publication that HR Hero sells has it too.

I had an ee test positive for drugs. Made it a condition of employment that she see the EAP for assistance. She agreed, but always came up with an excuse why she couldn't make her appointments. She was separated. Now you CAN'T make it mandatory …

Coming in late on this one, but OH MY GAH! What in the world was going through both the employee and supervisors mind that this person could LEAVE work to go home and feed the child! Total insanity!!! Good grief!!!

Ah, Ohio. If I ever have the opportunity to do business in Ohio again, I will politely decline. Then I will run in the other direction as fast as possible screaming. Ohio is one of THE MOST non employER friendly states. Yes, I can truely believe…

To put everyone's curiosity to rest... The decision was not mine to make. It was the owner's and his wifes (the co-owner). The employee was with the company for about 8 months. She was a receptionist who was not qualified to be a receptionist, bu…

Dam*! Not what I wanted to hear. I guess I will just have to play dumb and give a lot of non specific answers. Why did you terminate? Performance. What was wrong with performance? Not what I wanted and I wasn't willing to train. GA is a h…

If the broken bone limits a major life activity such as driving to work and working, it will qualify for FMLA.

This is a really hard question for anyone to answer when they don't know what kind of business you are - how many ee's you have - what kind of systems you use or need. I just don't think this can be answered for you... maybe a little more info migh…

Make a points system. For every missed punch they get a point. Reach a certain number of points and they lose a vacation day. I think that is worse than suspension unpaid. It's like a day off, sure, they aren't getting paid, but some people just…

The $.40 is what you can write off on taxes. The limit the IRS will allow you or the company to take. You can reimburse your ee's any $ you would like. You can also charge whatever you want for personal use milage. As long as it is applied consi…

Like Marc said - you can charge what you want if they use the vehicle for personal use. I would definitely not recommend that, but it's obviously something the company doesn't have a problem with. Maybe if you want to reduce the useage, you char…

Whether or not he is covered by FMLA, ask for a certificate of health from his physician. If he can email from a hospital - it can't be that serious that he has his laptop with him. But that is just speculation. If he doesn't provide you the cert…

s moll - The article was in HR Magazine. If you have a SHRM membership you can research their past issues. I remember reading it too, but I don't remember which month it was. I'll see what I can find, I never throw away an issue. JM

Thanks Ann - I've looked into those before and while I would love to have them, it's just now within our budget right now. I'm looking for something a little more "take home", where employees can watch a video or CD-Rom and then follow a booklet.…

Hi Jewel- I'm so sorry to hear about you father and you will be in my thoughts. Sorry to hear about this difficult situation at work too! I would recommend that you speak to the HR person at the new company to find out where you stand with the ne…

Hi Kiwi - Just a quick question... the day that the ee was fired, was that the same day he was caught drininking? And if so, who let him drive home legally intoxicated? I know it doesn't relate to the term or not to term question posed, but pleas…

Any drug test failure requires mandatory EAP counseling and random drug tests a minimum of six months. If ee refuses to either or - they are terminated immediately. Any random test failed is term immediately. Any EAP counseling missed/no show res…

Hi Cynthia! Welcome to the forum! Another great place to find sample policies and procedurs is on the SHRM.org website. However, that does require memebership, but some of their documents are for public use. Also here are a few other "HR" websit…

It's true, people bring their personal grooming habits into work, mostly unconscious of the fact. While it may gross people out, or offend some, I think HR has enough to deal with than peoples habits and ticks. Some habits are funny, some strang…

I think she used to work for me too. I had this employee who was from Portugal (I want to say) and spoke spanish, english and intermmediate french. We had a lot of hispanic employees, very few who could speak or read english. When I would send ou…

Ah, to pray or not to pray... that is the question. To say that you are going to pray for someone going through a difficult time is by all means not offensive. In fact, like many have said, is most likely comforting to those going though difficult…

I worked with a fabulous EAP company. It is EAP Consultants, Inc. their website is [url]www.eapconsultants.com[/url] They are very reasonably priced, have a great staff and would be able to help you in this type of situation. In my experienc…

In today's tight job market, I would be grateful if my employer offered me that opportunity. Especially if I were happy at the company. Who knows, he may be feeling the same way. At least spell out the two options and let him choose. If he acc…

When in doubt, take the high road. NY does require it, not too sure about NJ. It is usually good employment practices to pay out unused PTO, otherwise you get people turning in a two week notice, but they will take vacation for those two weeks. …

We just looked into a company that can do onsite testing for you and choose the employees randomly. We are located in GA, and I don't know if they would be able to do it in 9 states, I am not sure if they are local or not. If you are interested in…

My opinion is that she has been doing things that have been agravating a lot of people for a long time, but every one has just ignored it, but now that everyone is at the breaking point something has to be done now and it has to be harsh!!!! Huh? …
-
Well, if you never fired him, then I would have to say yes. Although you meant to fire him, he never recevied a termination/separation letter or any other indicator that his employment was at terminated for his outside actions. Of course if you ar…

We usually don't have ee's work out notice due to the nature of the business and we have yet to lose a UI claim on anyone who tried to collect in the interim. But, GA is a very employer friendly state, so don't try this in a state like OH. X:)
