Atrimble, you post a rather difficult situation. The last time I ever heard of someone being exempt from a drug policy was the 1972 olympics when one participant was excused from the drug policy. That's because Princess Anne, entered in the equestri…

I would say at this point in your process, you don't owe anybody any explanation yet. You're still advertising, your still interviewing, and your still collecting resumes. Any phone calls can be answered by saying, "We are still processing resumes …

Canuck, judging by the responses so far, it appears that the effectiveness of such a hot line depends on the size of the organization. It may make sense for your organization if your HR department is "corporate". If you have an "interactive" HR depa…

We also pay for the two weeks. Good points raised by the Mushroom.

I would ask the people whose religious beliefs apparently prevent them from attending an Employee Appreciation Dinner to explain why. I don't buy it.

We also certainly invite them.

Pork, my man, who's being grey? We follow our company policy fairly and consistently. As pertaining to DUI's, the consequences are different for our DOT employees vs. our non-DOT employees, and rightfully so. As pertaining to "drugs and alcohol are …

WT, if you are describing this "poorest employee" accurately, I wouldn't need a DUI in order to get rid of him.
-
Rainbow, what we have done is pull the truck from the employee and reassign the employee to a different job. That "different job" will have a different job description and a different pay scale. If need be, the employee's pay is reduced. The employe…

First of all, what is the official reason for the suspension? The set-up book is obviously very valuable to the company and I would suspect you can put a dollar figure on that. Based on that it would seem that you have reasonable suspicion of theft…

To add to what Gillian says: And only if the conference could lead to discipline.

From what you are saying, "doctor's slip" would be considered medical certification for purposes of FMLA. Therefore the company must allow the employee 15 days to provide these "doctor's slips". Tell the "HR person" to just ask for recertification e…

You have the right to ask for a statement from the doctor that he is fit for duty and can carry out the essential job functions of his job while on the medication. If he can, there is really nothing you have to accommodate. If he can't, then you can…

Hi Sheila, I'll send you ours also.

The fact that he left a voicemail rather than talk to you directly tells me that the guy is a coward and probably doesn't need to be worried about. BUT ya' never know, I guess. You did right on being proactive.

Here in the Land of 10,000 Ways to Allow Employees to Flee the Building, jury duty and subpoened appearances in court as a witness or victim have to be excused. As a company, we will pay employees there regular wage minus any stipend they get from …

If it rises to the level of harassment, I would assume you have a policy that would then be in effect. Doesn't sound like it yet though; just some politician acting like an a**hole.

Thanks, Gillian. I'm not into Depends yet and don't ever plaqn on it. How they handled it, 2284103, was to send the affected ones home to change. Lots of embarrassment involved.

Not to scare the world or anything, but this happened to two different people at my wife's work just recently. Is there something going around? Christ! I hope I don't get THAT!!! I feel like showering just from reading this thing.

Here in the Land of 10,000 Effete, Over-educated, Bleeding Heart Snobs, 200 of which run our state government, zero tolerance drug policies are not allowed. Therefore, we send for treatment after 1st offense; automatic termination at 2nd offense.

It seems as if this would be a difficult policy to uphold, given that current employees can still smoke. If your intent is to keep smoking out of the work premises, I think you have succeeded and need not extend the policy to ban smoking applicants.…

I would make sure that the test directly reflects what the job description sets down as expectations. I have used math tests before and found that, with today's high school graduates, a 4th grade level math test will produce about a 20% fallout. Sad…

SSD, the smell of alcohol is reasonable cause to send employee for a breathalyzer. At that point you are not accusing him of anything; you just smell alcohol and have to test. If he's positive, he has the choice of completing an assessment and treat…

At our company, the smell of alcohol is reason enough to escort the employee to the clinic for a breath alcohol test.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-22-05 AT 09:46AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I will bring your attention to a court case in Wisconsin a few years back. It seems that an employee of Miller Brewing Company was spotted in a newspaper picture h…

I think Montana is the only state that isn't an "at-will" state. Other than that, go with the advice given.

Somehow, personality and Controller don't seem to go together.
-
I would think that the reliability and validity of such tests would be determined by the extent to which personality traits directly apply to job functions. Such as being outgoing and gregerious rather than introverted and withdrawn if one is lookin…

Hey, at least he is using the bathroom. I once had a maintenance guy who stood in front of a female operator, dropped his trousers, and proceeded to polish his helmet. We had him out of the building before he could even get to the good part.

Thanks for your input, Gene. We would probably look at entering a heterogeneous group of a range of industries. Also they would book all the insurances that we presently carry: property, liability, commercial auto, and work comp. We would have to ge…
