We had a similar situation and we handled it the same HR in CA handled it. It went smoothly.

I guess I have it pretty good here. The finance people report to me along with the administrative folks. But I'm a rather unique (substitute the word, "odd" if you must) person with unique talents. And they all love me!

Welcome, Terry. Allow me to offer up a different perspective. Shana has informed you of an important meeting. It appears that this meeting is already set up. You direct her to consult your "admin" for "calendaring" your attendance. The admin inform…

Welcome, KMR. I see you are in CA, so I can assume that you'll be coming to the forum for help rather often. (I should talk; I'm in MN.) You can deduct from the employee's paycheck only with a written authorization from the employee. You can, howev…

Why did you receive the game? Do you have to do anything with it? Is that part of your process where you receive games and then evaluate them or what? If this is a "Product" that you have to "process" somehow, someway; I would be upfront and direct …

I learned from an employment law seminar I attended a few years ago that you certainly can discipline disruptive behavior, offensive behavior, and, yes, even bad attitudes. On your warning notice, write or state, "You are engaging in misconduct that…

Cinderella, I love the way you put it. WITCH and STUPID pretty much sums up this management. If they end up following Paul's advice and engage in concerted activity and draw some retaliation, the NLRB would be very interested. Boy, I think this i…

Your mother sounds like a sweet person who likes to give a good days work for a deserving pay and in a decent atmosphere. Plus she doesn't want to end up looking like Alice Cooper when the place heats up. But the workplace you describe does not seem…

Having not listed his previous employer would leave a "gap" on his application, which you can surely ask him about.

We shipped all the cheese farms to Wisconsin. Didn't like the smell of the dairy air (pun intended). So now we're down to 10,000 lakes, laws, taxes, hockey rinks, and, yeah, come to think of it, wrestling rings. Gotta love Vern Gagne, pink boas, fo…

Thanks for not asking about Minnesota. I'd have to write a book for you. Someone from Florida will be right with you, I'm sure. Good luck. Larry from the Land of 10,000 Termination Pay Rules.

Peyton, To further distinguish medical information, I believe that work comp and employment related medical information (drug screens, pre-employment physical) are not covered under HIPAA. Am I correct?

Wow, I don't think even Michael Jackson was ever out for 6 weeks.

You have too much information, thanks to an employee who is forward enough and not aware of the privacy paranoia sweeping the nation. If an employee comes to you and says they need 6 weeks of leave for medical reasons AND it is verified by her doct…

Mary Poppins Day. For the little gifts, hand out Bert, the chimney sweep, bobblehead dolls. Sorry, couldn't resist.

THIS state defines a transitory employee as (I am not making this up) "employees working on roads and sewers or similar jobs that require them to change their place of residence". For the record THEY must GENERALLY (whatever that means) be paid in 2…

This state has a few oddities and not just in employment law. When it comes to voluntary terminations, we get to wait until the next scheduled pay period, UNLESS (remembering we're in the land of 10,000 employment laws), 1. the next payday is less…

In Minnesota, when an employer discharges an employee, any unpaid wages and commissions at the time of discharge are immediately due upon demand, and must be paid within 24 hours of such demand. This demand must be in writing. Failure to do this cou…

That's a mighty lively imagination you have there, Balloonman.

Minnesota has a law requiring all public and private employers to provide unpaid break and a private space (NOT a bathroom stall) to let nursing mothers express milk. Don't know if other states have similar laws or not. Minus the law, I certainly w…

The deceased do retain their privacy rights, which dispells the old adage that "you can't take it with you."

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-07-04 AT 01:34PM (CST)[/font][br][br]What's even more perplexing is that I do believe he had a degree in nuceular engineering. (I don't think we've reached the bottom yet.)

You mean Jimmy Carter is now a eunuch?!?!

Actually, it was Joe Crites, 1971. I was a young engineer, fresh out of college, wet behind the ears, and had just been in a verbal scrap with a grizzled old mine captain. Joe Crites, the mine superintendent, got wind of it and gave me those immorta…

May I say something? And to nobody in particular, but to several in particular: "Never get in a pissing contest with a skunk. Because, even if you win, you'll smell like you lost."

Along with your witnesses, be very well documented. Dates, names, what was said, what was done, etc. Nothing verbose, but good documentation. Your company will be well documented, unless your HR people are total incompetents. Don't count on it. Prep…

Don, when we read your disclaimer are we supposed to read it really fast like the guys at the end of car commercials do?

Pork, I like what you say and how you say it....all except for the Bulldawg part. My dealings with G-people have been similar to yours. Showing "reasonableness, good faith, and good effort" goes a long way. I haven't tried the pork thing, but it sou…

My company hired me 2 years ago to come in and create an HR department where none existed before. Up until then, all HR was outsourced for a period of about 5 years. The owners of our company are extremely pleased with what they have now for the fol…
