  • We do ask if they are married or single when discussing and offering benefits. Also, some of our plans require spousal signature if they are not the primary beneficiary.
  • document, document, document then pray that it doesn't happen again on your watch!
  • Update: So far so good. No more reported random attacks on flowers. Maybe it was the full moon after all. Thank God it's Friday! LFernandes
  • I don't THINK this will turn into a hostile work environment. But I was thinking it was more along the lines of jealousy..... you fill in the blanks. Funny over the weekend I noticed it was a full moon (along with the lumar eclipse) and figured …
  • Update: Lisa has apologized to Mary and is still claiming it was "only a joke". I'm going to continue to keep an eye on the situation but hopefully we don't have any more issues with her eating someone else's flowers. L

  • When I first heard it - I asked if she was vitamin deficient!
  • Lisa would't explain the "calling card" but just kept saying that she did it as a joke. I explained to her that while she may have thought it was funny, her co-worker didn't. The fact that she used the words "calling card" set the bells and red …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-28-03 AT 09:02AM (CST)[/font][p]Here is the link but I don't think WARN would apply in this situation based on the definition of a mass layoff. I think I read the original post correctly that only 5 …
  • Most definately - I love my job. But I would have gotten my advanced degree first (I'm still working on it 20 years later) in employment law.
  • Could I get a copy of that as well? Thanks! LFernandes
  • Welcome to the Forum! Ask for training. If you were up front with them about your lack of Visio and they keep giving you projects, stand up to them and say "Look, I'll be more than happy to do the projects, but I could really use some training" an…
  • I agree with Marc. I've worked in both big and small employers and have dealt with "real situations" from workplace violence to sexual harassment. We aren't provided with whole story in the original post but based on the facts presented to the For…
  • >>her temporary supervisor is having a difficult time keeping her in the office >>to work... Where is she going? If she is just wandering around, that would be a performance issue and should be addressed. Also, you could also check wi…
  • Do you have a security position available right now that she has the qualifications for? If not, do you have any other positions available within the company that she could transfer into? I would hesitate in transferring her over to her ex-husba…
  • Welcome to the Forum! If I were you I would make sure that the harassed employee did NOT report to the Supervisor who harassed her. Is there any way she can report to someone else other than the Supervisor and his buddy manager? I would be VERY c…
  • Apply for unemployment but also request a copy of your personnel file. You may have to pay for the file, but at least you'll know what is "officially" in it. Good luck in your job search. By the way, was the offer in writing? LFernandes
  • I agree with Ray. Immediate termination. My question to you now would be, "Is this the first time he's stolen funds from you". LFernandes
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-03-03 AT 12:52PM (CST)[/font][p]Sorry Pork - your gong is going to bong again... I would get a second attorney's opinion. If this person's visa is about to expire that means 1) (s)he needs to get it…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-26-03 AT 03:19PM (CST)[/font][p]One more note - H1B1's are expensive when going through an attorney. Be prepared to fork out at least 5K in expenses. I don't like doing them which is why I have glad…
  • What type of Visa is this person on? Student, H1B1? There are many different types and each one of them has their own set of forms. You may want to look up the forms on the INS website. But, because of the complexity of it all, I would suggest g…
  • Not too long ago, we had this issue come up. According to the DOL, you should't change the punches unless you have a good reason to i.e, missed punch, legitimate absence, etc. The reason being you need to pay for all the hours worked but if you ha…
  • I agree with everyone above. It sounds like there not a lot of trust where you work. In every HR department I've ever worked in during the last 20 years (no age jokes here please!!), HR knows EVERYTHING! Payroll, employee relations problems, revi…
  • We use the E-Time Heavy (there is E-time light but that is really for employers with less hourly people) timecard system with a handpunch (no more lost or cards that don't work) with ADP Payroll software. We have a split shift and I have it set to …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-25-03 AT 07:14AM (CST)[/font][p]Lara, Consider yourself lucky that you got out when you did. Things could have been worse, they could have fired you and then you would feel even worse. As it stands…
  • I don't think it is a male female thing just employees working the system. Unfortunately I'm the attendance police and in charge of tracking all the time used, accruing vacation and personal time and sending out unexcused absence reports to manager…
  • My boss comes in between 10:30 and 11:00 and usually takes a lunch hour or 2 and normally leaves at 6:00 except on the days that he has something to do - then he leaves early.
  • Thanks everyone for your support. I have kept the e-mail telling me not to charge the day and his attendance controller (that he submitted) but have marked the day as "out". Let him explain it should it ever come to light. Thanks again! L PS - …
  • I guess what goes around comes around and everything will end up in the wash. Thanks for letting me vent and for lending a sympathic ear. L
  • But if it was a comp day, wouldn't you mark it down as such?
