There are no federal laws that require you to pay out a notice. Check your state laws for any such thing, and especially if you have to pay out any earned but not used paid time off.

A lot of problems that come up with new hires are products of their previous environment. In their previouse place of employment, this could possibly be what she had to do. Maybe she was the fixer. If something wasn't working or working to her …

I don't do it and I don't think I ever will b/c people post resumes out there and then forget about them. Honestly though, I don't have time to sit there and look through unsolicited resumes. Do you? I don't see the benefit of searching all of …

Don: Although I agree with you, I think it is quite the opposite. We do not exploit their weaknesses, they exploit ours. They know that the fat, lazy, spoiled Americans will not work the jobs that require physical duties. So, they flood our borde…

Don: Please enlighten me. What is governmental ethnic pandering? Definition of Pander: To cater to the lower tastes and desires of others or exploit their weaknesses. Inyour opinion, what weakness is the government exploiting in illegal workers?

Does someone on the third shift with similar duties and responsibilities with similar qualifications and length of employment get paid more?
-
Out of curiosity... what was it that you disagreed about in hiring a new employee, and if she has someone on her team that she doesn't get along with, why is that person still on her team? Are you preventing her from terminating or transferring thi…

OK, seriously, I actually COULD control the tides more than anyone would recognize HR appreciation day. x:)

go to [url]www.natsem.com[/url] They have a large selection of seminars, some focused on women. JM

I too have to agree with everyone else. Your mother is just working for a horrible person. If she isn't allowed to take lunch breaks, then the shop owner can get on to her about not folding towels during what she may treat as a break. And whil…

Just to clarify... they filed an age discrimination claim against the company b/c their illness was not work related and therefore couldn't collect disability or have the company pay for medical treatments??? How are the two connected?

My opinion usually is... when an employee turns in a resignation, and you don't try to move heaven and earth to try to get them to stay, then it really doesn't matter if they go. If they resigned, let the resignation stand.

We will be open, but we are having a pot luck lunch, more so for Easter than Good Friday. I'm in the south and most of the people in these parts don't celebrate Good Friday (well not that I have met anyway). In the last company I worked for the …

Why on earth would the sup. ask such a question?? Is it relevant to the job? There is a lot of literature out there on what question should not be asked, and possible ways to rephrase them that aren't direct or leading. I think your sup gets the…

OK, this may be way out in left field, but if the badge requires a "picture" of her, does it have to be a photo? What I am getting at is could she, at her own expense, have a portrait sketched of her and have that on the badge? And, what does sh…

What plan are you amending and why are you amending it?
-
Actually, I already had this conversation with her in December. She expressed an interest in the position then and I told her that she was standoffish and that she would need to work on that. She said that she understood and actually agreed and sa…

Do you think that $5 will be enough of an incentive? And rather than giving a check through payroll or AP, how about a gift certificate to the movies or the grocery store. That way you can just mail them off as they come in and be done with it. $…

I think you should tell him what you have told us. His attendance is horrible and that he is on his way to a suspension/termination. If he needs time off to deal with family issues then he can request a LOA for whatever you both feel will be enoug…

As long as your policy clearly states your intentions and all employees being tested have signed the policy, you should be OK, if this is something you normally do. If you are doing it b/c of rumors then I hope you also have a statement that you do…

Why is it important to you to know what her diagnosis was? It sounds to me as if she doesn't want you to know what she was being treated for. If she wants to keep that confidential then let her know you have to treat her absence according to the at…

Our ee's would probably love to have something like that since we don't have snack machines. They would be here every week filling it and our office would be about 200 pounds heavier. x:) I wouldn't even consider the peanut allergy. YOu employ a…
-
Coming in a bit late, but I will send mine too. It's nothing fancy, but it get's the info I need. I do include it in the new hire packet, but I also file it separately from the personnel file. Just so it is easy to access and in case of emergency…

Such questions are not allowed during the interview process, of course, but when an employee begins work I have them fill out an entire form, of its own, asking for primary and secondary contact information. It also asks for PCP informtion and to l…

OK- I guess I will be the first to ask the question. What does your dress code policy say? My dress code policy states that when employees are hired it is partly b/c of the professional image they present. To stray from the professional image w…
-
Agreed about the locker room thing. But I do have a question. Does your dress code policy state what is acceptable attire for men and women or is it a blanket statement saying "professional attire"? I specifically addressed this possibility in my…

Yes, welcome to the forum. When I post ads, along with the EOE claimer I also add Drug and Tobacco Free workplace. That there pretty much eliminates the problem up front of if I am hiring a smoker or not. Reason being is b/c they can not smoke wh…

A day late, I know, but I thought I would add something to this... I don't exactly agree with subjecting ALL candidates to the "project". It is part of the interview. If a candidate isn't qualified, or doesn't do well in an interview and you KN…
-
This was just addressed a week or so ago. Pretty much the same senario. I would suggest a search to get some more feedback. But yes, you need to have a business purpose, such as around English speaking patients only English should be spoken so th…

Amongst other areas, I primarily use on-line recruiting. I have filled jobs from warehouse clerks to mid-level management and have found top notch candidates. I only post with monster.com b/c they get the most traffic, but at the same time are m…
