OMG! I got out of town for a few days and people start leaving as soon as my back is turned!!! Seriously, I hope your new employer sends you back to us. We will miss your insights until you return.

I am not sure I agree with rweaver. If you are a child care facility and the employee has been arrested in a high profile child abuse case, then you have reason to, at a minimum, suspend them. Having the news report that this employee works for yo…

When our owner company wanted it initiate a no smoking on the property policy they did it in several steps. First, they communicated that the change was coming, but gave employees plenty of time (months) to prepare. Next, they offerred a free Stop…

Complaining about working conditions is a protected activity. It really comes down to what they actually said. Was it just saying the boss was a so and so, or did they say they needed help or were working too many hours? As far as the profanity g…

I guess it really depends on how strict your policy is regarding language, complaining and being overheard. Have these employees been spoken to before about language or the way they complain? The supervisor needs to take a deep breath and not go o…

[QUOTE=joannie;723366]Way to go, Nae! Quite an achievement. Don't they give those out at the Leadership Conference? Did you get to go?[/QUOTE] Yes, they gave out the award last week at Leadership. Our committee chair was there and accepted the…

You can set your benefit plans up pretty much any way you want to, though there are limits for some highly comped employees and you cannot do any kind of illegal discrimination. What you are talking about is a 'class' of employee. You can certainl…

Two bad weeks in a row. I hope I am not doomed to be un-funny the rest of the year.

Good one! =D>

Good job! Congrats!

Our owner hospital makes a flu shot mandatory for employees working with patients. It makes exceptions (religion, allergies, etc), but those employees are required to wear a mask when in patient areas.

I don't think you should have a companywide policy for this unless you have a CBA or some specific reason to have one. Each department should set their own 'practice' due the nature of the work, though you might have company guidelines. I recommen…

Agree with Coffee, check with your administrator and your plan doc. Ours states that insurance premiums will automatically be covered unless we receive an opt out letter, and that employees must make an election for medical reimbursement or depende…

[QUOTE=joannie;723291]I have to agree with the analysis. Several years ago, I had an employee file a workers comp claim for an alleged back injury. At the same time, he filed for divorce and reported his pickup stolen. The pickup was found in his…

Do you have an EAP? We have required an employee to visit with our EAP and follow their recommendations or be terminated. I called the EAP first and described our situation. The employee met with them, and then was required to follow a short trea…

Update: Phase I lasted 6 weeks. We started with 2 teams (luck of the draw), one with 7 members and one with 6. We used a handicap for the 2nd team (daily average of all members), and when it lost a member, we used the member's daily average for …

The drunk pumpkins was an easy win. First, I stole the idea from a FB friend, then I was the only entry. I love it when a plan comes together. :angel:

If this works right, here I am as a Deviled Egg, and here is my winning entry for our pumpkin decorating contest - humor.

We had about half dress here. I put on white sweats, attached a yellow oval piece of paper to my front and then added horns to my head and carried a pitchfork. I am supposed to be a deviled egg, but most people can't figure it out. I think it is …

That's a great story. I agree, sometimes what the older ones come up with are a hoot.

LOL! I love the things little ones say. We took 5 grandchildren (and their mom) to Boo at the Zoo Saturday, including the barely 3 year old twins. They have recently been potty trained and have learned lots of new terms and new rules. On the way…

cnghr You ARE a strong person and a wonderful role model for those of us in the HR field, and for those who don't know how to go on after a tremendous loss. Thank you for your first-hand contribution. You are much better able to judge the situati…

[QUOTE=joannie;723248]I agree, Frank. OMG! Twice in the same thread . Are you my long lost brother?:p[/QUOTE] Don't demean yourself Joannie. It's one thing to agree with someone, it's another to claim you are related.

I don't know that I am for extending this or not. How can you put a time limit on it? 12 weeks is not enough, but what would be? I worked for a place that had so many employees lose children that it became a scary place to work as you never knew …

If this person gets in an accident, even if they are not using a company vehicle, you are liable. Now that you are aware that they don't have a valid license, you are even more liable. You need to either prohibit this person from driving for you…

Assuming your job application is generic for all your jobs (you don't have a specific one for this job): You should make the requirement clear when you advertise for the job, and the application itself (and any signs you have in your organization r…

If you have a legitimate sick leave/personal leave policy and the employee is taking personal leave it is possible to take a day off without pay. It is dicey though, so we don't do it here. If an employee is out of leave time and needs a day, they…

You can ask for a second opinion from anyone, as long as you pay for it. If the second opinion differs from the employee's doc, you cannot just go with the second opinion. You will then need to get a third (which you pay for). Good luck!

I can't imagine not asking about convictions (not arrests) on an employment application. That said, each conviction needs to be taken on a case by case basis. Someone might be convicted of statutory rape because they were 18 and their partner was …
