You should stick with this new policy. You might send a brief memo to each of them explaining that when a clocked out employee performs any work whatsoever, whether or not the employer is aware of it, and the employee is not paid for that time perio…

At the conclusion of your interview with the alleged perpetrator, if it is evident that he made the comment about 'The Holloway girl', I would immediately suspend him without pay while the rest of the investigation plays out. If he made that threat,…

I support termination, but ONLY IF: fully and carefully document or organize the prior documentation of every bit of minutia related to the events that occured following the PIP. Being especially careful to show in glaring detail how the infractions…

It IS interesting, and casts a different light, now that I know his discrimination charge followed a personal improvement plan. It would be more interesting to know what was in it, what his shortcomings were, what was expected, what he was told he h…

I reviewed my posts and don't see anything that could be offensive to you. I asked you in one post how it could be discrimination, and in the last post I cautioned you that they are going to run your butt off. If that's offensive, I don't know what …

I don't see how it could be discrimination. Maybe unenforceable and time wasted, but, discrimination?

Compensated more or have all their expenses paid? I don't understand their logic if they simply feel they should have their pay rate raised when they travel. Tell them they are actually spending less personal funds for food and gas while they are tr…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-06-05 AT 05:43AM (CST)[/font][br][br]The easiest, most practical and most 'audit friendly' method of verifying that you followed OSHA requirements in the training and retraining of PIT operators is to…

There is no OSHA requirement that a forklift operator be issued a card indicating they have been trained. That is entirely optional and up to the employer. Some employers use that system in an attempt to have the driver feel a certain level of compe…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-04-05 AT 04:11PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Yes. First, there is no such thing as OSHA forklift training or OSHA approved forklift training or OSHA certified forklift operators. OSHA requires that the employ…

I think you should go back and read posts number 5,7,8,9&10. They're all serious posts representing quite a few years in the business. Seems to me you should make up your mind which side of the equation you want to represent in employer-employee…

(Aren't you razor sharp on a Friday. Must have had time for an extra cup of coffee in that MD air this morning.)

Well, I've mostly learned to overlook my club foot and my wife says the wart on my nose is no big deal. If you never look me dead in the face, you'd think both my ears were probably the same size. The drool is hardly noticeable. But, they did call m…

Watson; don't misunderstand. I'm not 'offended'. I'm just aware of some of the basic tenets of the Forum, one of which, I think, is that we don't typically support or advocate employee litigation against employers and certainly don't throw up lists …
-
I really don't think the Employers Forum is the proper place to solicit or recommend attorneys who are in the business of suing employers. Only as a very, very last resort do I think we should engage in that, and maybe not even then. My personal opi…

There is actually something the employer can do (or attempt) when one appears to be taking advantage of the system. An example would be an employee who 'manages' to get assigned to repetitive stateside training exercises and courses, beyond the norm…

This is way too much minutia to read through. And I may repeat others. Your policy has no relationship to the government's policy. If yours offers greater benefits, fine. But, you must at least follow the USERRA GUIDELINES, otherwise your company po…

You need Adobe Acrobat to open it: And you need a case of Miller Lite to understand it. If you're in Florida or Arizona, Milwaukee Best Lite will do.

Basically, I agree with Gene. But, I would not 'telegraph' my intentions by putting out a memo calling attention to the situation, announcing an investigation and inviting people to come forward - and driving the perpetrator further underground. I t…

My advice and experience have nothing to do with union officers. It's just sound practice. Maintain control of your meeting. Never let the employee drive the meeting. Don't let the employee's attempts to manipulate the outcome of the meeting succeed…

One of the age-old problems of the workplace, and not related at all to union sites. Although it may seem more prevalent in a union setting, it's everywhere. The advice I have for you is to never, ever chase those rabbits. When counseling with or di…

I'm assuming you had the others well prescreened, determined qualified on paper and have it to a reasonable number, like six or fewer for one opening. I agree that the process MUST unfold and the other candidates should be interviewed, and NOT just…

In over 30 years of management I have never known of a situation where the terminated employee with an office or a desk was not shown enough humanity to allow them to gather their own belongings. I suppose there might always be an exception, but i…

How much further can we run this invisible rabbit? Disclaimer: This message is not intended to offend or attack. It is posted as personal opinion. If you find yourself offended or uncomfortable, email me and let me know why.

That's why I asked you to clarify. It's no doubt universal that a male doctor is not alone with a female patient and vice versa for examinations below the belt or the chest area of females (I know these complex anotomical terms). But, if you are t…

At first I thought you meant a male doctor could not be alone with a female patient, etc. So, the policy is that a male and female staff member cannot be alone in the building without escort or presence of the same sex? I think that's a fairly stick…
