This is a great testimonial from JM and every word is true. It's all about rewards, or rather 'feeling rewarded'. Reward people by ensuring they feel they are part of your success, reward them by paying them or giving out kudos or putting their name…

All I know of your experience is that you were a union president and now work in HR. I have lived in Mississippi all my life, most of it in the Mississippi Delta. for many years I participated with government entities to recruit industrial prospects…

Gillian3, you are doing a bit of exaggerating. What I have read and am told by heads of businesses is that unions have been (and I assume still are) the single largest factor. Wages are where they are in this country due in large part to union effor…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-26-05 AT 03:46PM (CST)[/font][br][br]And I am certain, based on your experience, that you also know that union demands for wage increases, additional and improved benefits and restricting an employer'…

Whatcha reckon is the chance you'd find a 'decent consultant' who would accept a 3-5 hour job? Disclaimer: This message is not intended to offend or attack. It is posted as personal opinion. If you find yourself offended or uncomfortable, email …

'Loyalty' to one's employer is an illusion now that in times past could have been reality. It was reality then only due to uncertainty, and general uneasiness caused by lack of transportation, lack of opportunity, limited training and the fear of re…

You can call your state department or labor or Employment Security Commission, whatever it's called. They have a staff member (I suppose) who coordinates job fairs all across your state for veterans and those about to get out of the service. Typical…

If your budget will not allow for air conditioning, at minimum you should purchase large, oscillating, blower fans and mount them preferrable up off the floor so as to maximize effect. Simple wind movement will do wonders in the heat. Even though ou…

Sounds like to me you're simply trying to manualize an orientation video. Why reinvent the wheel. Stick with what works....a 20 minute video for new employees. What you describe is NOT a Policy & Procedure Manual.

If you're talking about a standard 'Policy & Procedures' Manual, the way I've done them is the opposite. Organizing the table of contents comes after writing/outlining the procedures that we felt were relevant and should be in the hands of depar…

I can tell you from experience, if your grandson is changing planes in Atlanta, not only can he not predict within three hours when he will be able to eat a meal there, he won't even know with any degree of certainly whether or not he will depart on…

I have to disagree once more and then I'll shut up. Fatigue is sorta like high blood pressure. You (nor the sharpest of supervisors) cannot spot it usually and often the person who has it isn't even aware of it. The point is not that I don't know wh…

or: (D) As a best practice, It was our decision to view this from the standpoint of performance. We knew he was working both jobs, burning the old candle at both ends, had bills to pay and other financial stuff going on, new rims to pay for, diamond…
-
I'm really surprised at your approach to what is obviously a safety concern. This is not at all about performance. And to dismiss it by saying 'well, if you wouldn't have known about this you wouldn't have done anything about it,' is further concern…
-
Crawfod, you're living in a dream world. You don't reason with people who are burning the candle at both ends, trying to make ends meet, disregarding their personal safety to make a buck. It just does not work that way. Surely you know that. You exp…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-25-05 AT 09:04AM (CST)[/font][br][br]You seem to have answered the question in your post by saying 'as long as the second job does not conflict'. Two driving jobs crammed into one day DO conflict. The…

Can you post what kind of truck he drives for you and what kind he bought for his moonlighting driving? That will make a difference in whether or not he is violating regulations. I hope this guy's name is not Bobby Owens. Disclaimer: This messag…

Then I would tell him that the company is not willing to have the potential safety risks associated with him driving a truck more than eight hours a day. He will eventually nod off on one job or the other. Don't let it be yours. If he's a delivery d…
-
The first one that comes to mind is fire him. He must not be DOT regulated or he would be violating service hours regulations. I think this is a case of 'safety first'. It is not safe to do what he is doing. In the interest of safety I would replace…

I agree with dchr. What are you wanting to accomplish? Would this be your company's method of advising them of flight schedules and pilot assignments, etc? If so, email is probably not the best way to go. Disclaimer: This message is not intende…

Just for the sake of the discussion, here's the answer I gave you on the Wage/Hour site. 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…

I think I said I don't 'think' it is illegal. I really am not concerned enough about it to research whether it is legal or not, since I would never do that to begin with. But, until someone cites a law prohibiting it, I will assume it is legal. Than…

I wasn't advocating the practice nor making a moral judgement about it, so there was no logic utilized, other than to say I do not think it is illegal. Lots of things are wrong that are not illegal. Disclaimer: This message is not intended to o…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-21-05 AT 09:29AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I don't equate withholding from one's paycheck and requiring them to pay the company money. If they were viewed the same, the law would state that. I would imagine…

Literally, I am sure you can do that. In your at-will relationship, if your state observes that, you may fire an employee for any reason or no reason at all (except an illegally discriminatory one). Disclaimer: This message is not intended to o…
