Why would you want to accomodate this employee? She's handed you the means to remove her for performance. Of course you can and should continue to accomodate her while you waltz her out the door.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-20-03 AT 11:38AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Can't be very much help with the holiday thing. I remember reading about an Islamic celebration that is dependent on the 1st sighting (world wide)of the full moon…

In your original post you mentioned that the GM was aware of the bad blood between the ee and the guest. He could be aware that if it was an illegal harrassment situation and he did nothing he could be liable. x0:) He's conscience stricken and is…

Ok, I just have to say something here. What is the purpose of the list of rules? If Joe is going to indulge in inappropriate behavior (however that might be classified) is he going to stop.....smack himself in the head and say "#-o Shoot! I just r…

Sounds like the 1st scene out of a stalker story. I can hear the scary music in the background. Maybe it was just a momentary lapse of judgement. Having the supervisors be on the look out for more weird behavior is about all you could/should do a…

Just recognition that the perfect world still eludes us x0:)

I'm not going to be much help on the legal aspects of docking pay. The company is implementing a blanket policy in response to an issue with one employee. That's just a bad idea, its a way to avoid addressing the issue with the appropriate person a…

I'll go with the poster who mentioned the no solicitation policy and a reminder to everyone on the staff that it exists and what it prohibits. Don't really see the hostile work environment thing. I'm sure you still have to be a member of a protect…

Are you sure you want to confront these ees? Is this the 1st conversation about leaving? do you want to lose them? do you want to keep them? I'd be prone to consider more than appropriate use of the company's e-mail in this situation.....

Small town medical center, we have moms, dads, aunts, uncles, kids, nephews, even grandparents. We do have a policy regarding relatives and reporting relationships. Even so it can be problematic, confidentiality issues etc....

I'll go with lunacy but lunacy of the type that infects a lot of companies. Mountains from molehills; act first, think later; screw you before you screw me....I'm sure you all know the drill..... oops, I think my cynicism is showing x:-(

My thought process is that in HR we tend to create cumbersome, time-consuming systems to eliminate anomalies. Not necessarily a good return on time invested. I think they call it managing to the exception instead of the rule. The interaction with…

We too have eliminated any reference to a probationary period, in response to guidance from our attorney. I do have a question though, how much time is used in doing 30 day (or 60 day, or 90 day) evals on all the new hires, and what is the return o…

If only it were just Girl Scout cookies. How about Band Candy, soccer wrapping paper, the Spanish Club is going to Spain for the summer, there's fundraising for Model UN, for Boy Scouts, it just goes on and on. I say write a no solicitation policy…

Now I think I should've posted my "Whatever Happened to Class" comment on this thread....../:)

Theresa, I can only hope the line about the company "police" is a typo. or perhaps a Freudian slip? x;-)

Your risk is very low at this point. This is the time to terminate before more problems arise. Just a suggestion, we have moved away from requiring a HS education (could be discriminatory depending on the population). What most managers are after…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-27-03 AT 11:10AM (CST)[/font][p]It seems to me that you are terminating for performance rather than insubordination. And you have the performance review listing the areas requiring improvement. Did …

Time and distance may have colored my recollections of the military life, but it seems to me that there were the same turf wars, runaway egos and self-serving strategists in the units I was in as there have been in the companies I have worked for. …

Why are your supervisors frustrated? Because their ostensibly ill employee is out spreading germs and not getting proper rest?x:o Or are they frustrated because they feel taken advantage of? If you have a supervisor who is frequently taken advant…

That is an excellent question.....:-?

Maybe we should all wish for Demerol. If I recall correctly, it still hurt but I didn't really care x;-)

Depending on the circumstances, the change in shift could be considered an adverse employment action. Not a guarantee, unless her duties changed substantially at the same time.......

Just a few notes of caution...... I think your sister has an excellent case to bring against her current employer. But.....its a good thing to remember who her employer is and how deep their pockets are, and how long they could fight this thing. …

This is the wording we use in our dress code policy. Gives leeway both to the employee and the manager. "Employees will be conservative in the wearing of make-up, jewelry, scented products and hairstyles."

I'm not sure that FL would be different than another state. If the state requires a certification to hold a certain position it is not the employer's obligation to provide the means to obtain the certification. On the other hand, how many people d…

I'd sit with the manager and talk thru the scenario, even to the point of scripting if you feel it's necessary. Maybe play devil's advocate, what if she says "this"? What would your response be? etc. Should take just 20-30 minutes and will pay o…

I'm with Don on this one. If you have a policy and have not followed it at this point, the credibility of HR and management will suffer for a long time. Once you are through this issue you must be absolutely consistent in administering your attend…

I agree with Don. I'm continually amazed at the "fire their a##" mentality. I can only think it escalates situations that could be solved with 5 minutes of thought. Good thing these managers have HR people around. The situation should be handled…
