Band, welcome to the forum. First, I believe you have received some good advice here. Don't make any changes while the employee is on a PIP. It will probably come back to bite you. Second, as soon as the PIP has been completed do a market survey…

I think it is all in what you see and expect in that 90 day period. If we hire someone to process paperwork on the computer, we expect a certain level of competence on the computer before we start. However, we don't expect that level of competence…

Seriously? Am I the only one with a great boss story? When has your boss gone above and beyond?

I stole your joke Dutch, and put it on FB. It got a few chuckles. Thanks for sharing!

Dutch: Don't blame us, we are as surprised as you! Hubby and I went out golfing Saturday. It was beautiful, and he even wore shorts (hi in the 70's). Last we heard, the weather was going to be slightly cooler, but stay beautiful all week. It sn…

Start a Tai Chi class before each work shift. That should help.

Kudos to Paul for Most Creative Hiring Process. He won the award fair and square. We'll send him the Geocashing coordinates of his prize via secret code.

It would have been less an issue in my mind if it wasn't a case of him [I]continually expecting [/I] (and receiving) special treatment because he was top salesperson. Everyone has trouble making deadlines or completing expense reports on time once …

In the situation I referred to the 'star' felt he should have allowances made because of the business he brought in. He didn't like to submit expense reports, so he didn't do them until the day he wanted to be reimbursed. Then, if he could not be …

I don't know, Paul. It can be very annoying to have everyone held accountable for being on time with reports and turning in receipts except for the star. I have been the clerk who processed those and knew the star was getting away with it. I lost…

And here I figured Frank was good for the job.

Some state laws might require it, but it is not a federal requirement. For instance, here in Kansas we do not hav eto allow sick leave for even someone in the immediate family, such as spouse or child. We have to allow FMLA of course, but if we ch…

It depends. What does your employee manual say? Does it clearly states that no call/no show for 3 days will be considered voluntary termination? Is this covered in employee training? Most companies consider this voluntary termination, and only m…

I think we may have all seen 'stars' who believe they are the reason for the company's success, and I have seen some employees get away with a LOT. However, times have changed and it is too easy to sue. In any case, I have never seen anyone out th…

My experiences with Career Track and Fred Pryor seminars is that they are geared towards entry level employees. If that is where your clients are starting, they are a good beginners choice. Perhaps it is the seminar itself, as cnghr has had a bett…

I live in a much smaller city, and I know of at least 2 consultants right of the top of my head who live and work locally. I am sure Seattle has the same. I met my local consultants through the local SHRM chapter. I recommend you contact your loc…

I think I heard them talking about Tony that way. Is Tony a Charlie, Celeste?
-
I bet you can find the skit on youtube somewhere. I saw a description in wikipedia. It is a changable skit that can fit a lot of circumstances, and very funny when done right.
-
It's from a skit from vaudeville days. I think the Three Stooges did it too. I am sure if you google 'slowly I turn' you will find plenty on it.
-
You are right in that the leave has to be approved whether it is paid or not. However, paid leave is determined by the organization's policies. If they do not allow sick pay to be used for family members, then FMLA will not change that.
-
The situation you descriibe in #1 does qualify for a 1099 (non-employee compensation.) However, you only need to issue one if the annual total paid (commissions) is $600 or more. In addition, you should be including the 'commission' amount as reve…

They were 2 in September. They are still adorale and came to the office just last week. They are not identical, but like the Olson twins, are hard to tell apart. If it wasn't for a birthmark on one of them, I would have serious trouble knowing wh…
-
You have a tricky situation. The way I understand it, the bonding leave doesn't have to be immediately after the birth. So, for instance, mom could take 12 weeks and then dad (working somewhere else) could take 12 weeks. Was any of the 4 weeks ta…
-
Frank, you're killing me. I mean it! I had some food in my mouth when I read your response and about choked to death.
-
Looks like it is just a case of nothing to say.
-
Why would a company do that? What benefit could they possibly get that would out weigh the liability? I have not had to complete a job application for some time, but I do remember we were asked for this kind of information alot in the old days. I…

...outsourced? (You would have to use the full name though and not just the abbreviation HR)
-
Don't your employees have to have the leave approved, even if it is available? In your situation, we would revoke the approval. It is understood here that employees are given leave whenever possible, unless it interferes with business needs. If a…

Yesterday I attended my local SHRM chapter's monthly luncheon. The speaker yesterday comes every year to give us a quick employment law update. One of the things he brought up was this program. He is a lawyer, and said it would be great for lawye…
