  • We are currently piloting an alternate schedule in our company and are starting in our production area. Employees will work four ten hour shifts. Some will work Monday through Thursday and some will work Tuesday through Friday. Overtime won't kick…
    in Alternate schedules Comment by Missy June 2001
  • Are we crossing the line if we tell her she can't be at work until she gets her issues resolved? That's the part I'm having trouble with- just how direct & insistent can we be? BTW, she is already utilizing our EAP. That's where she found he…

    in Austin, Texas Comment by Missy July 2002
  • I have been in HR for about 4 years. Before that , I was an assistant principal in a middle school (I haven't found a lot of difference between that & being an HR manager x:P) I have a BS and an MS in Education & received my SPHR last year.
    in HR Poll Comment by Missy July 2002
  • Well, we all survived! The employee was angry, but under control. He chose the voluntary resignation and let us know he had plans to talk to his lawyer today, anyway. I'm glad that's over and hope we've seen the last of him. Thanks again for all…

  • Thank you for the many good suggestions. We are planning on meeting with him late in the day, in a private conference room and giving him the option to resign, effective immediately. We also plan to tell him that we will not contest his unemployme…

  • Gillian, That sounds like my world. We are owned by a Taiwanese company and all of our executives are Taiwanese. Holding side conversations in Chinese during meetings is a frequent occurance. None of the rest of us have the slightest idea what …

  • Thanks to everyone for your responses to my question. I'd also like to thank HR Forum for making this their poll of the week. I've printed it out and am going to use it to support putting us directly under the president. Wish me luck!!
    in Who Does HR Report To? Comment by Missy March 2002
  • I have a copy of The Complete Guide to Human Resources and the Law by Dana Shilling that stays on my desk. Prentice Hall also puts out an annual supplement to this book that's full of good information. Good luck in your new role!
    in What are you reading (Part II) Comment by Missy February 2002
  • I had a former employee that was contacting our current employees in an effort to recruit them. She was calling and emailing them at work. I called the HR Director at her new company and let him know that she was using her work hours to contact ou…
    in Prior employee trying to Comment by Missy January 2002
  • Your IT Manager should have list of all his/her employees' passwords and log-ons. Once the person has been notified of his termination, the IT Manager should reset all of those passwords while the employee is going through the exit process with HR…
    in Layoff-IT Person Comment by Missy November 2001
  • I took the SHRM study course through the Continuing Education Department at my local university. The class was intense, but well worth it!! I received my SPHR in December 2000. Based on the amount of information in the HR body of knowledge, I woul…

  • Thanks to everyone for their advice. It's been very helpful! Our investigation has been inconclusive, so far, and our recommendation is to have a private investigator look into it.
    in Investigation Advice Comment by Missy June 2001
  • Thanks for the suggestions. The article and the websites look very helpful. I appreciate the assistance. Mr. Labovitz, perhaps I came across as insensitive. That was not my intention. We have conferred with the employee & intend to confer with…
