Anyway, although I haven't ever been faced with exactly your situation, here is what I've done in the past before either committing or hiring people. Right now, not knowing what, if any HR talent you need at that location, just commit your staff as…

We list them all, as you have done. Then there isn't any question.

AnnGee, your best bet might be to get him on performance issues. Bad attitude and not working well with others are definite performance issues. I would start documenting, if you haven't already, and start pushing HIS buttons regarding performance. T…

If you're asking for permission then, sure, go ahead. If you're asking for advice, there are other things to consider. Is he a member of a protected class? Is he alienated by the other employees? Sounds like he is probably a general pain in the *ss …

This is a classic "he said, she said" and needs to be investigated; especially since there seems to be some "smoke" in this past. Investigating hs/ss's requires alot of back and forth as you piece together the picture and gradually expose the truth …

It was bound to happen sooner or later in the history of the world: The French have finally surrendered to themselves.

What does Zut mean?

After you have identified what behaviors constitute her bad attitude you can say, "This behavior is disrupting the cooperative, harmonious teamwork environment that this company is striving to promote and we consider it to be misconduct." There is …

If the COO is displaying this type of judgement right out of the chute, I predict he will self destruct in a short period of time. I would carry out your company policy on this guy and then sit back and watch the self implosion. He's such a short ti…

Like I said, Paul, I am not retiring. I'm having too much fun. I don't think the labor shortage will be that severe. The past decade has seen great improvement in the efficient use of labor. This was borne out in the economy coming to life with a d…

Hey Pork, are they individually packed?

I'm going to do my part by not retiring.

He exposed himself in the middle of your plant. He urinated onto/into plant belongings. Terminate immediately. I think we all work with diabetics and I have yet to see the disease turn anybody into an idiot.

I know it can be frustrating, Mary. I have an applicant who has called me every day for the past week and a half asking if we "have job yet". He comes from Bosnia and his cousin works here. I tell him every day that we will not be hiring until May. …

Whirlwind, what in the sam hell are you doing up at 00:18am? By the way, what is 00:18 am?

I'm with you, njjel. I had never heard of ththis until the other day. At the risk of coming across sappy, I like to think I observe this day everyday. We do send out employee anniversary cards and birthday cards hand-signed by managers, supervisors…
-
Yes, vphr, we do. Knowing that I will find out anyway, employees are rather forthcoming with information. Applicants also become forthcoming with information when I inform them that we do background checks.

I do MVR record tracking. When an employee's driving record experiences some activity, I get an e-mail. All drivers of company vehicles, drivers who use their own cars for ocassional business purposes, forklift drivers and manlift drivers all fall u…

Yes, you certainly can and should.

Good point, James, but I think the fact that the object (employee of his original sexual harassment complaint is employed at that company and the desire of the company not to bring the two principals back together again would weigh pretty well in t…

OK I'll go first. I had a similar circumstance many years ago. I had an "employee B" whom I did not want to lose, piss off, or in any other way, disrespect or show lack of concern. So I called "candidate A" and rescinded the offer. Here's what you s…

Jane, you might check the state of KY drug testing laws. Here in the Land of 10,000 No No's, an employer cannot drug test their own employees using their own lab.

The "work-for-hire" provision of the Copyright Act of 1976 says that if the work was done as a part of the employee's duties, the copyright for that logo belongs to the employer. Is that the case here, Jel? If so, it's a done deal. If she did it o…

We also offer a private office for expressing. Faced with your situation, Linda, I not only would offer the private room, I would require it.

Shelly, I'm going to answer a question that you didn't ask. Your policy states that you don't pay personal/ vacation time upon termination. Here in the Land of 10,000 Pay At Termination Rules, if the employee has accrued vacation but has not used it…
-
Naenae, you're pretty close to an answer already. The regulations say that when trying to figure out what you would do under the military leave, compare to the most generous leave your company already offers.

Sonny raises a good point and the scenerio she proposes happens too frequently. I have employed such people and they worked out great. But we're just speculating at this point, but I would bet she's right. Check it out. Your employees will be more a…

bragaw, did he serve his time? During same, did he receive treatment? Is he receiving treatment? In your estimation, will he present a danger or detriment to coworkers? He did tell the truth, albiet not exactly totally upfront about his past.

G,it sounds like you are'nt really sure whether the employee ever resigned. Was there ever any formal termination of employement? If not, then she was on leave and can resume employment at her last seniority minus the 18 months of leave. Other than…

Cheryl, how did you go about gaining back your freedom?
