The DOL could not care less. During Katrina, our decision was to forgive any time missed due to necessity caused by the storm, for exempts.

Or a spouse who refused to let them in the house and they had to come to work without brushing their teeth or changing shirts/blouses.

Just out of curiosity PoRk, how does one provide a sample 'breath of air for testing'? Unless I misread your policy statement, I infer from it that if you confront an employee and are in the process of escorting him to the clinic, he can ask for amn…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-26-05 AT 09:04AM (CST)[/font][br][br]It's also a question of who in the organization has the authority to view what screens. I'm sure you guys have looked at that angle. Hopefully it was restricted to…

Some employers terminate employees who 'impede an ongoing company investigation'. In a union setting you could not, but, otherwise, I've known it to happen a few times. I'd give her one more chance to 'cooperate in the investigation' and tell her th…

Another wrinkle is that they might be under the supervision of the landscaper who might also expect you to pay for his/her services while on your site. This is a bucket of worms. Or should I say a bucket of illegals. When you package this whole sc…

When I encounter a man who professes to be that ignorant of proper bahavior, at some point in the conversation I will tell him "You treat women here like you would expect your mother or your sister to be treated". It's amazing that people grow to be…

They all know that I am the only one you take to task. But as soon as you let me out of the woodshed, just like with my daddy, I do it all over again. x:-)

I was referring to post number 8 in which I sensed the poster felt that she might be called to task for not having reported earlier.

All the good answers are in the first five posts. But, let me go ahead and fast forward about 15 posts where I would normally say something about an appropriate assembly of uncles and brothers. The guy knows perfectly well what he's doing. Sometimes…

If I understand correctly, he was staring at you before you got the HR job. You had no absolute obligation to do anything, although you had a right and an avenue I presume. It is typical for persons treated like you were to not come forward and ther…

Arbitrators are notorious for overturning disciplinary action that has resulted, in part or in whole, from extreme vulgarity/profanity directed at supervisors and managers by union members. It's to the point that you best not even consider terminati…

Having a disagreement during which profanity is used does not necessarily equate to insubordination. To determine insubordination I would have to know the content of the discussion, whether the executive issued a command that the subordinate refused…

Marc commented that such discussions should occur behind closed doors. Since it was on the telephone, I think it was a fairly private exchange. Salespeople and the culture can generate some steam and heat, thank goodness. Without knowing the players…

Me too! We machine and assemble high dollar bronze and brass solonoid valves and similar products that go in everything from coffee dispensers to soda fountains to space shuttles to airliners. None of our employees run on valves. But more than a few…

I think that's a bit much. Why not just put out a stack of them in the lobby or break area? If people want one, they can take one. If the company has to rely (even to a minute degree) on employee's purchasing its product, it's not very viable. I thi…

I would think the reason people in one bank choose to do their business elsewhere is because of the gossip factor in banks. Am I close?

I have seen G3's photo on his website and that image will never fly. Can you come up with a respectable, Buddy Holly concept? Pocket protector, pompadour and pin-stripes?
-
You obviously choose to totally ignore the perks and spinoff benefits that go along with membership. They're too numerous to list here, but, where else, for $300, can you interract with the likes of mE and pOrK and have the free, storied wisdom of t…

Begging the lady's pardon; but, you DID ask 'what is your take on this'. So, you opened yourself up for whatever might come your way.

I think it's been clarified as Montana.

I'm sure if you search dilligently enough you will find wording codified regarding the at-will employment relationship. Please report back after you have spent at least 50 hours researching. Hint: Look in contracts first.

Maybe S.A.V.E. would be appropriate here.

I suspect it's Homeland Security. They have a bigger bat that both of the others.

What did the company do between Monday, when she verbally resigned, and today, when she tried to retract? Hopefully a termination document was cut and submitted to payroll. Even if not, there is no requirement that you allow her to retract, no matte…

I don't see that as relevant. Unless this person is actually so dense as to think you would pay to board her animal. Did she also contract with a watchman to guard the house? Perhaps someone to collect the papers while she was gone?

"What do other companies do in such a case?" But, windy one, to answer your question, would "muffled laughter" be an appropriate response?

This is a trick question, right? If she lives with her dog, she does not live alone. What if she lived with her mother? Would you pay for boarding her mother?
