  • Probably no one.
  • That said, Irie, I believe though that retention of internet applications and resumes is the same for regular applications and resumes, i.e. one year.
  • mbeam, could you fill me on who OFCCP is what information they want? You don't have to take all day, just a summary?
  • I used the ML Smith Sexual Harassment Training for Supervisors and found it to be an excellent help. I added some things from my own experience and it was very well received. I highly recommend it. OK, Jim, you have my address for sending me my cu…
  • What you're talking about here, Reyna, is a courtesy thing and shouldn't jeopardize any employment arrangement you have with the temp agency. Out of courtesy, your supervisors should be informed by the temp that he/she will not be there that day. Th…
  • Evan, I tried to send you a private message but I don't know if it went through or not. So my e-mail is [email]larrycarr@idcdoors.com[/email]. Thanks.
  • Evan, I would like a copy of the draft policy. I especially like the website you present and the part about employers partnering with local domestic abuse organizations. Sadly, this is far to common a problem and it hurts alot of people. Employers…
  • I've dealt with this situation several times. I have the phone number of the local support group that I give out to those who are seeking help. I've tried the EAP route without much success. Putting them in touch with people in the same boat seems t…
  • First I would have all of her calls forwarded to me as soon as the answerer recognizes that it's her. If I couldn't talk sense into her I would file a police complaint against her and finally a restraining order. Out of courtesy to the EE I would le…
  • Well Linda, I'll give this a shot. Anytime someone is "bleeding through his shirt", he should be removed from the game. Bleeders, no matter what age, do not belong at the workplace. Tell him your concern is for himself and the other employees. You …
  • I would try the placement offices at available colleges and universities. My next stop would probably be in law trade magazines or other media. I've always had good luck at the state workforce centers for recruiting, but I can't say as I've ever re…
  • My experience has been that the state laws where the facility is located will govern unless, of course, the federal laws covering the same thing are more lenient. I speaking striclty of employment laws and not corporation laws.
  • Kymm, to further add to your pain that the other posters here have inflicted, the uniforms and boots you mention just may be considered safety items and cannot be deducted for that reason. I think your stuck.
  • I go along with thew concensus so far here. I will answer employee's questions and encourage them to come and see me or request that I go see them any time during the day and/ or after hours. When an employee has a question or an issue, it's best fo…
  • Actually,needahero, sexual harassment is a form of gender discrimination, but I like your idea of keeping them seperate. That way you can emphasize both and by giving it special attention, sends a message that you take these subjects very seriously.…
  • Linda, I don't know what you have documented so far , but I would certainly hold him to the essential job functions of the job. Plus he contradicted himself regarding his electrical knowledge, or was it lying. It's been years since I've worked in a …
  • I know I'm using a broad brush here, but a supervisor supervises people who have no direct reports. A manager manages supervisors.
  • So far, Potato, all you have is a phone call. I would guess that the IRS made a clerical error. On the other hand, there may be something to his story. Or it might be a scam. Wait for the requested information from this other person. As an after th…
  • Governor Huckabee?!?!?! Sounds like something from Minnesota, The Land of 10,000 Goofy Governor Wanabees.
  • Contact your local American Lung Association. They have excellent resources for employers that are doing exactly what you're doing.
  • We not only request driving records of our employees, but we moitor the records on an ongoing basis. I have signed releases from all employees for this. If there is any activity on anyone's record, I get an e-mail from our "service" notifying me. T…
  • Kent, are your leave policies spelled out in your company policy book? Does EE have a copy of this policy book and do you a have a signed acknowledgement that he received it? If all your answers are "yes" and taking a strictly clinical approach here…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-11-06 AT 04:26AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Open1, I certainly didn't mean mouth hardware except for tongue and lip piercings. Didn't mean any offense. Paul, ask Ray to define "astute" for you.
  • 1. Remove any hardware from your face before the interview. 2. Don't wear any shirts with slogans on them. 3. Speak in complete sentences. 4. Do not say, "you know", "you know what I mean", "like", or any swear words. 5. Dress slightly better th…
  • We will only have the 4th off. As another poster said, the productivity on the 3rd won't be real swell. My guess is that it will be even worse on the 5th.

  • swynia, here is a site to go to for MN drug and alcoholtestinglaws: [url]http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/hrd/pubs/dgaltest.pdf[/url] We wrote our policy with the intent of D&A testing to the full extent of MN law. If you would like a copy, let…
  • Actually, Paul, it's 60. But who's counting!
  • I agree with Nae and vphr. Focus on the essential job functions, performance and attendance. Age is not an excuse. I'm 58 years old and I don't plan on using that excuse for at least another 30 years. Even though my job doesn't require being physica…
  • swynia, you're on the right track. Minnesota requires employers to give the employee a chance to rehab on the first offense. You can terminate on the second offense. On your second point, you can require post-positive drug tests for up to two years…
  • Unless you are in ther transportation industryor are a federal contractor, there are no federal laws to cover drug screening for private employers. Your state, however, probably will. Good luck.
