Well, Dasher, I would treat this the same as cell phones, personal computer use, personal phone calls and personal visitors. They all can be lumped under the heading of "outside people distractions to the employee" or something more clever than that…

1. Never take life seriously. It's too important. 2. Be honest to a fault. 3. Stretch. 4. Sacrifice. 5. Always replace the divot and never drop the flag.

That's always been my understanding too.

Maria, it sounds like you are an educational institution? We are a manufacturing facility and quite a bit different setting than yours. However, faced with the same predicament, I would follow the same documented procedure that I do for other job mo…

OK, Lenetta, just for you, hon. Here in the Land of 10,000 Ways to Combine Rice, Meat, and Campbells Cream of Whatever Soup Into a Hotdish the hot topic amongst our Elected Elite is also how to regulate the sale of canned pickles and jams at farmer'…

Dresendes, you'll probably find that a majority of employers go with the 30 hour threshold. It is up to the employers unless state law dictates otherwise. Our state is shockingly silent on this issue. I suspect they're all too busy writing the regul…

I'm dense. What is CP?

Beags, you had to pick Leisure Suit Larry, didn't you. Couldn't have gone with Turtleneck Tommy or Bell Bottom Bobby. Noooooooo!!! Let's go with Leisure Suit Larry. Thank you, Beags. Disclaimer: I completely disassociate myself from the name Leisur…

aliciac, cutting his hours can easily be seen as an adverse employment action. This, along with other excellent advice offered here, I would say is a compelling case to accommodate.

I remember the Hatchetman. He offerred excellent advice and proved to be a formidable opponent during political debates. Near the end of one heated thread we agreed to meet somewhere in Middle America for a beer. I think LeslieC form New Jersey was …

I agree with Linda. No can do.

Hey Pork, you mean to tell me you can't put a cork in those sows just for one day? I can wait one day for my pork roast, but not much longer than that.

We will be off Jan.1, 2007.

Since he has at least one instance of threatening violence on the job, I would refuse to write him a letter of recommendation. I say this because there is no way I could recommend him to anybody else. Plus if he attacked someone on his new job, I wo…

I wouldn't even call it an agreement. Call it a Last Chance Memo and end the memo with "any further occurrance will result in your immediate termination". I wouldn't care if the employee agreed to it or with it or not.

Hey Rockie, can you run something past your labor attorney? Or if there are any of those listening in here, please respond. According to the FLSA you can make deductions for full day absences if the employee will be compensated through a sick pay o…

FLSA doesn't limit hours worked, but sometimes states will. Here in the Land of 10,000 Legislative Committees To Look Into Things, there are restrictions on kids under the age of 18, locomotive engineers, fire tenders (can't forget these fine folks)…

If they're faxing these things to you, there is no reason NOT to have an actual signature. I wouldn't accept them without the actual signature.

Plus Vandy will get a pretty good paycheck for the day's work.

Hey James, Vandy opens at Michigan this fall. Welcome to the Big House.
-
Don't feel too bad, Julie. I'm a true Blue Michigan fan.
-
Julie, you wouldn't be an Auburn Tiger fan by any wild chance, would you be? Anyway, I agree with Whirlwind. You didn't "re-open" a RIFed job, plus the job AND the person doing it moved into A/R for whatever reason. Unless you have some pretext lay…

Good to hear from you again, Pork. Thanks for the update.
-
Cheryl, you hit the nail on the head! Depending on which "2" or which "18" you get to supervise, the ideal number depends on the people that make up those numbers and their required maintenance.
-
Whether a clinic or manufacturing setting, in my experience, the ideal number is 7, if that's worth anything. Here in the field service and manufacturing industry, we vary between 5 and 15.
-
Hi Pork. To answer your question, the BLS gets their information from willing employers who supply the requested data to them. We participate in this program.

Back when I was in school HR was known as Industrial Relations or Personnel. I have a BS in mechanical engineering, an MBA, and an SPHR certification. This means I can design the widget, cost it out, and hire the people to make it. Then fire them wh…

Thanks, jitrbug, but your private contact info is all disabled. Can you enable it for me?

jitrbug, or anybody else out there that has one, may I have a copy of the policy regarding the expectation of EE's bahavior when representing the company at any function? Thanks.

Hey Gillian, is that why you got divorced?x:D
