  • Gene asked you to 'trust him' and 'rest assured'. I don't know if I'd go that far, but, I agree that you should have terminated this supervisor as soon as you learned of his activity. Period. If you do not, you deserve the results you will have. …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-16-05 AT 07:16PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Sorry to disagree HCA, but the federal Department of Transportation regulations are by no means state specific. If this is a federal DOT audit, it will have nothin…
  • I can't believe you don't have one if you have DOT drivers. I don't currently have one either. I can mail you a driver's handbook I authored several years ago that has it in it, but it won't get there in time to save your bacon.
  • A classic 'California-Type' example of the government sticking it's assinine head in business' business and deciding government knows what's best for business. Take a look at the business end of government and you instantly know why business can't b…
  • We're a but more conservative. We don't have any DOT positions and terminate for any positive drug test and would if we required a breat alcohol test that came out positive. We are committed to solving our workers' comp cost problem and terminating …
  • It's a shame it's come to this level of control and scrutiny. But, I'm very much aware of the origin of it all. When I worked in the transportation (trucking) industry, it was common for Freightliner, refrigeration unit manufacturers and trailer com…
  • And if it's a car, you can give it to Ray or donate it to Hillary's campaign fund. x:-) "Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot." Charlie Chaplin
  • ...But, you DO need to tweak the word 'Christmas' out of your policy. Not currently politically correct. "Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot." Charlie Chaplin
  • Good point Crawfo(r)d. If the ee can't accept it, then neither should the city. Sounds like a welder, a gold-leaf toolbox, a flat screen television or a nice smoker on wheels.
  • But, as he said, he likes the prize and he ain't gonna volunteer to sell it. Then what?
  • Since you obviously do not have a policy which clearly establishes what a gratuity is, I think you should treat it the same way you would have treated it had he won the drawing for a fishing rod or a toaster, both worth over $10. Since everybody in…
  • The answer to this dilemma is for the management of the company to hold one or more group meetings to address perhaps a state of the business agenda, including the outlook for increases. You have perfectly described what the NLRB will term 'concerte…
  • Linda: Apparently my last post made no impact. If one or more employees are sitting down with you to lay out employee concerns with a request that management do certain things, and you take those concerns to management and then you invite that group…
  • It's way early for 'an impartial mediator', but I agree it's a good idea to not ignore their request. The mere fact that they asked for 'a mediator' is a serious indicator that they are talking with bargaining unit employees or either know their rig…
  • Mr. or Ms. Brenner: If you are not in HR, no amount of checklist will provide you with enough ideas upon which to base an HR audit. If you have not worked in HR for years, you will not be able to conduct any sort of meaningful audit of HR, with or w…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-12-05 AT 08:24AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I agree with the employer. People who dance will surely go straight to hell. The gyration of bodies will lead to all sorts of unhealthy and unclean activities. The…
  • I suppose, literally, an employer could require this across the board regardless of the duties of the jobs. As long as it cannot be shown that the dismissal of applicants who do not have the license does not result in a disproportionate number of re…
  • Why do you count weekends and non work days?
  • In this case, since the last year's results have already been finalized and the appropriate notice posted on the board, it's my understanding from OSHA that the form for 04 would actually be revised to reflect lost time in 04. Now, moving forward, y…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-12-05 AT 12:20PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Smoll: I agree with your posts. Any of us will get older and not be able to perform manual work sooner or later. Why pretend it won't happen?
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-10-05 AT 02:30PM (CST)[/font][br][br]If they are unionized, you won't have much control of the matter. If not, and you have pay grades and those jobs are structured into a lower pay scale, you could l…
  • If you have one of these huge 1910 OSHA Guides, you'll find this, not under restrooms, but under sanitation at 1910.141. There's a lot of verbage there as well as a table. For example, if you have 81-110 employees, you are required to have five wate…
  • Most reputable recruiting firms nowadays have specialties. I know of no headhunter who successfully recruits 'all engineer' types. Here's the one we use. Lance Solak LSI Manufacturing Solutions [email]Lance@LSIJOBS.com[/email] Ph.330-273-1002 Fax 3…
  • There are probably REASONS that child labor laws are written the way they are. I think what you have is a couple of adults who think they have a way to have free day care at the worksite. I would think differently had you said each child is expected…
  • I'm sorry. I must have misunderstood the original post. Actually the law is not a moot point at all, depending on the understanding the employees had of the notice to attend, the company's intentions and, obviously, the pickle the poster feels they …
  • According to the law, it's not the purpose of the function that makes a difference. It's the fact that it is a company function outside normal business hours and whether or not it is voluntary or mandatory.
  • Would you also advocate paying employees to attend the company picnic? What's the difference, assuming the boss also takes the podium at the picnic for 15 minutes? Disclaimer: This message is not intended to offend or attack. It is posted as per…
  • And would you have also expected to be paid for eating lunch and the social period before and after?
  • You would have gotten entirely different responses if you had simply asked, "Is it legal to not pay them?" Or maybe you should have asked what is the opinion of others on how not paying them might impact morale or good will. I would think a majorit…
