We've only offered severance to one employee and that was b/c she turned in a 3 month notice and we really didn't need her to stay. So, we accepted immediately, paid out two weeks, remaining vacation and sent her on her way. We have 45 ee's in 6 s…

With $500 off, how much are they now? I suppose I can just jump over and take a look, huh? One of my assigned goals for 2004 is to put together an all inclusive management training program. I'm looking for ways to help teach managers how to coa…

Thank you. Every bit helps.

She's been drug tested. Clean. And she wasn't exactly someone I wanted to hire either, but the warehouse mngr. thought it would be a good idea since she is familiar with how things work back there. She could be kept from ever using the forklift…

I am your typical germ-aphobe. Why did I read this thread? Now I will be sure to carry extra wet-ones and purell in my purse. I avoid germs at all costs. I don't touch hand-rails, gas pumps, door handles, etc. with my bare hands. If I do, it'…

Well, I would look at it this way. I receive a basket. COOL! If I don't like the cheese, I can throw it out or offer it to someone else. If I don't like the jam, I can throw it out or offer it to someone else. If I don't like the beer, I can th…

Do not pass around applications without the applicants permission. You are sharing confidential information such as address, ssn, phone number that the applicant did not give you permission to share. No-no!

Do you have a nepotism policy? Or an anti-fraternization policy? By federal standards, no it is not illegal to hire spouses or not hire them, but depending on what your policies state, you may open yourself up to liability. For anyone to answ…

Thankfully that employee WAS caught. And will receive any due punishment. Selling cigarettes to minors is a serious offense in my book. I am all for these agencies who set up cashiers for breaking the law, b/c it's a good law. If just one kid is…

Well we have two sides to a very sensitive subject here. Some say get involved make the call, other's say it's none of your business and you shouldn't get involved. This is not an easy decsion to make. You have several different factors you need …

I personally have never gone to one, but I have sent my employees to them for various topics. They all say great things about the presenter and the material they provide is comprehensive. I have also ordered some of their materials and have found …

It almost did until you called me a schmuck and a "he" all in one sentence. Is this what they call tough love?

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-03-03 AT 01:28PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Well... he's gone. I didn't even mention the video tape. I didn't see a need to add fuel to the fire when the background was sufficient enough. I feel horribl…
-
Oh it's clearly stated in his offer letter that employment is contingent upon a background check. However, he told me about ONE of the incidents listed, explained what happened, we discussed it, and it really wasn't a reason NOT to hire him. W…

Well whatever, NY, you should consider yourself very fortunate that you have always encountered exempliary behavior from your staff at all times. I however have been in the hospitality profession before and have encountered less than "professional"…

Although those seminars are great for teaching your receptionist how to deal with difficult callers, front desk safety and disolving the large groups of people who hover at the front desk, they are not going to teach her how to put a call on hold. …

I don't want to seem disrepectful by saying this, but my Dog is an ordained Minister. Yes, I said Dog. Long story, but it was bought over the internet for a TV News bit. However, I only call him Charlie, because that is his name. Sometimes I call…

I just wanted to comment on having payroll send HR the final paycheck for pick-up, not to start a debate or detailed discussion. In some states, such as New York, NY law says that the final paycheck must be delivered as the employee instructed all …

We had an employee give notice of "When she found another job". We accepted her resignation the day it was given, paid out two weeks. She then tried to file for UI. I told the DOL this was voluntary and she received wages in lieu of notice and we…

Well I guess we are a small enough office/company that we have the luxury to do the same in both situations for all employees. For birthday's everyone gets a card signed by the office, a lunch, and a cake. For funeral's everyone gets a card signed…

I have the book and it covers hiring thoroughly. I recommend it for anyone who likes checklists. I, for one, love checklists. I even bought a book called 104 Checklists for everyday life. Or something like that. I guess I am such a scatter brain…

There are a lot of sample surveys on line that you can use to come up with our own. That is what I did rather than paying a few $K to have a "survey company" put one together for me. I was able to pull over 100 sample questions from the internet.

Although the "sickness" may not qualify for WC, he fell down b/c of it. Which in turn means he could have been injured at work due to a fall. Now, it is my understanding that WC doesn't bear fault. So regardless if the fall was the workers fault …
-
It may not necessarily be WC, but what about ADA? This person has a major life impairment, so if the employer fires them, isn't it possible that they could file and ADA suit? I mean, there is nothing that could stop him per se, but do you see a le…
-
My concern is that this wasn't filed as WC. My next concern is that the ee has been out for six weeks. This is obviously impairing on a life activity, so wouldn't his illness be covered by the ADA? Also the company is a start up and does not have…

I will have to look at the one I got for my dog and let you know. Yup, that's right, I said my dog. I have a friend who is a news producer for CBS in ATL and they were doing a story on how easy it was to get a degree over the internet. So, they w…

Well, it certainly sounds thorough. My LOA form is 6 pages long, but I am a private employer with less than 50 ee's. So since we don't have to comply with FMLA, I had created a form as if we did. I certainly hope that they offer employees assis…
-
Well, it sounds like regardless, you will not be able to change this... so, what I would do is speak with the manager who lets one do it and not the other, that this could be looked at as discrimination from an ee's perspective. Go on to explain th…

All she has requested at this time is a certain mouse. I'm not sure how a different mouse will make all the difference in her needs, but then again, I am not 100% sure of her condition. This is a reasonable request and the people at her office loca…

You can not garnish an employee's wages without his or her consent. And even if they give consent you can not garnish the wages to an amount less than minimum wage.
