Deb, you can have separate dress codes for men and women. Kathy's problem is determining which one is he/she/it. I say that when the operation to change "equipment" takes place, he becomes a she, and she will now use the women's restroom. Now you a…

Let us know when the "use of which restroom" becomes an issue so we can all have a go at that one too. That should be a fun one.

Asking about types of discharges is akin to asking about why someone left a previous employer. With evidence of military service on an application or resume, I will inquire about what type of discharge he /she received. In light of AND in spite of…

Paige, armed with advice already given, merely tell the employee that the law will not allow granting her wish to have her pay be "stretched out".

If the only language you folks have to worry about is Spanish, I envy you. Here in the Land of 10,000 Sorts of Immigrants, there are two languages spoken: English and Other. The folks that speak Other usually have their english speaking kids interpr…

Carol, most states have OSHA consultants available too. When you invite them in and while they are there, you are immune from OSHA inspections. But, the consultant will make recommendations and if her/his recommendations are not followed, you face e…

Welome to the forum, Bev. We run into similar situations here too. We have a fleet of trucks and drivers for which we have to monitor driving records. A DUI is definitely a disqualifier for the same insurance reasons you stated. Since driving is an …

In order to satisfy ERISA requirements that the health plan is being offered to all eligible employees, we make sure the employee signs a waiver if they DO NOT want the health insurance. Usually, the waiver section is part of the enrollment form. So…

Going strictly off the information presented, you have insubordination and are handling it just fine. We are also a private company and we ALL help out as needed ANYWHERE.

But that's not THEIR policy. My answer to the original question was based on THEIR policy, not YOURS.
-
Yes, I think it is unnecessary because your going to leave them alone anyway. When harassment or favoritism issues arise, you have the policies to deal with them. Being burdened with prior knowledge of a relationship won't help you, even though I su…

You already have a policy, needahero. It's the last sentences in your 1st and 3rd paragraphs. Hopefully you also have a harassment policy to cover the situation marc brought up. Requiring supervisors to report relationships won't be too effective. …

-
Deb, I think you are taking the right approach. Keep documenting and keep hammering away at the board until it forces them into taking action. That's what I did at a previous employ and, after much perseverance, the CEO was ousted and it was my duty…

Chris, what the hell is this? Have you been following Dr. Phil's advice?

1. Why us? 2. Why are you HERE? 3. What is it about us that attracted you to come here? 4. We do background checks here. Tell us what your previous employers are going to tell us about you. 5. What will your previous employers tell us about your sa…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-06-05 AT 06:23AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Fair question, marc. Today there seems to be too much reliance on calculators and software to the point where it's very humorous watching a tech junkie try to do s…

First of all, Don, I'm surprised too that she has tolerated me for this long. God Bless her young, good looking heart. Second of all, I really do think that a sitdown with the supervisor is a good idea and necessary as a first step in the "employer…

I'm going to give you my perspective from personal experience. I was that "supervisor" in a previous life. Actually I was the plant manager and I was dating a machine operator who was in my direct line of report two levels below. In the end, I was f…

Judging from your post, HRH, it seems that oil and water are professional people and must have brains and therefore, reasoning power. That's a good start and following the given advise thus far should provide some result in the right direction. Ofte…

And that's all you really have to do.

Applicant testing can be very useful, but dangerous if the tests aren't reliable and valid. As far as being reliable, does the test reveal what you want it to reveal? For being valid, (and this is the important one), does the test provide a good and…

Welcome to the forum, Gemini. Enjoy!! A good rule of thumb for COBRA is that anything you offer to your current employees, you have to offer to COBRA people. In your case you have to offer the new plan to the COBRA people. If they don't reply, you …

My experience in production management has taught me that to keep good people, you must have well trained , responsive supervisors who emulate a positive company culture. People don't leave a job. They leave a supervisor.

Hey, you're welcome. Sorry I misread things. Stll though, don't let the Minnesota lawmakers see this.

Am I reading this right? Texas requires a formal document for an informal agreement? Gawd, please don't let the Minnesota lawmakers see this!

About a year and half ago, the HR Magazine put out by SHRM showcased a story about a truck driver from, I believe, Louisiana. He was a cross dresser on his own time, but the company fired him anyway. He sued, but didn't get anywhere. The company, as…

Actually, Marc and Don, you're both correct. The DOL uses 6 factors in determining a contractor relationship. The IRS uses 20 factors. There is no pass, fail, or clear, spelled out procedure as to how the factors are weighted or applied by either d…
