[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-19-05 AT 06:14AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I don't think the word 'legal' even enters the equation. An employee's use of medical leave should never be a consideration in an annual review. This is more than …

Is there an irony that your email address indicates you work for Lighthouse Credit and you are advancing credit to employees? Or am I off the mark. If my assumption is correct, I would also assume that you guys see hundreds of people who are in cred…

This is really not about diversity training needs or misuse of the company email system. It's all about the misguided and inappropriate actions, comments and attitudes of an employee. It's no different from a white woman standing up in the middle of…

Isn't the Department of Labor's Dictionary of Occupational Titles online somewhere? I have a good job description for Materials Manager. You could pick and choose some of the duties, delegate them to the Materials Clerk, and use those duties to com…

Although some say it should not be kept in the personnel file (assuming the employee might have rightful access to that file), I too think it should never be disposed of until the file itself is purged and destroyed according to your policy and fede…

Since the law requires that we view original documents, not copies, the alternative that comes to mind is a notorized statement, requiring that a notary witness signatures and view documents. It would be much too expensive to 'employ' someone else t…

I think the law in most states mentions that they are allowed where an employee does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy, i.e. restrooms, dressing rooms. Employers are generally able to put cameras most everywhere else they wish to for what…

Another oddity is severing 'key employees' without any severance package. I recommend that the less you say in a letter, the better off you are. If your management group is requiring you to do it, I would try to get away with saying, "As we discusse…

Ann Gee, Oregon: I don't work there now, but my last job had one of these no faults where you can reload your points. Simply: In 1999 the policy was implemented and everybody had 7 points front-loaded into their points bank. You burn them 1/2 or 1 p…

It varies from state to state. Contact your chancery clerk's office for a schedule.

Sounds like an excellent concept. We have the 5-S program in place but haven't tied it specifically to compensation. We do, however, tie employee increases to their participation (or non-participation) in our Cost Reduction Suggestion program. For…

In all my years, this is the only place I've ever worked that totally ignores exempt sick days. It baffled my mind when I got here.

I'm seriously considering being offended.

I must have waked/woken, got up in a dream, finding that the gentleman from California is being humorous. I like that. The question was asked (loosely quoting), "How could somebody think they would make the same money for 30 vs 40 hours per week?"…

I agree with the gentleman from Minnesota. The payroll department has no business adjusting the pay of an exempt employee, unless they've got way more authority than they ought to have. The salary is the salary that was quoted upon hire or whatever …

Our facility pays double-time and a half for work on designated holidays. The policy reads that the employee will receive time and a half for all hours worked plus holiday pay. That's 2.5 times regular hourly rate. Quite a plum payroll day. Waaaaaay…

You're not out in left field. You're in the bleachers. You are the one allowing this practice. Breaks of that duration are required to be paid. They are taking two breaks and just happen to be getting away with coupling them with the lunch period wh…

Good question. Our state also allows mandatory DD and we are going to that on January 1 of next year. About 50% of the hourly troops do not currently DD. I've had a number of banks try to get their toe in the door to position a table in the building…

I'm not sure, but I would think so. I would start by carefully reading the statute or whatever requires that you grant annual COLAs. As with anything that is 'owed' to an employee, it belongs to them and I would think you would owe it to them retroa…

With the exception of that which falls under de minimis definitions, if it can be used as cash or exchanged for something of value, it is taxable. I agree that both the theatre ticket and popcorn voucher are taxable. And, I'm surprised you are rew…

If your system is not programmed to do these tasks I would think it wise to have a competent admin or accounting clerk do it. It's either that or you have various supervisors applying their 'understanding of the day' and somebody in admin having to …

You're in a pickle! It's a bad enough situation to have people paid below the start step of a position, but posting the grades and steps only makes it glaringly apparent and targets, who else, the person in HR. You will be called on, ethically, to s…

I agree with Larry. And you should also review your state policy regarding the enforcement of garnishments originating across state lines. But, basically, an employer cannot honor a garnishment when the individual is an independent contractor. …

It's not technically direct deposit at all unless the deposit is made to a banking institution. I've also known of auto loans, Christmas Club, savings accounts and even auto insurance deductions to be transacted through payroll, but only when there …

I doubt it's illegal, but highly improper for the company's employee to be handling the business transactions of another employee while on your clock. Does the accounting manager and business owner or executive know about this? There's your answer. …

Can you elaborate on that? Which student visas allow the student to avoid the payment of federal income taxes? Disclaimer: This message is not intended to offend or attack. It is posted as personal opinion. If you find yourself offended or uncom…

I know of no legal issues this presents. Thgis is actually a very fair system whereby the employer is staggering/rotating the weeks. It may even result in some limited overtime potential which is a good thing.

Calling the state DOL, if you have one, is probably the best advice. In the meantime, I recommend she pay a lawyer $75 to write a letter advising the employer they have no authority to do what they propose. Otherwise, her next check will reflect the…
