Fabulous article, Wendi. I hope everyone gets a chance to read it.

This really goes back to how your policies are worded and how you have handled things in the past. Before we changed to a PTO system, we let employees use sick pay to see a doctor even if it was just a check up and they weren't really sick. In our…

I don't know what state you are in, but in Kansas the answer is no. Benefits are voluntary, and not required by law. Our benefit plans state the employee must be scheduled to work half time or better. PRN's don't have a regular schedule. If I ha…

It's in the spirit of 'anything that will grab your attention.' I think it's effective. It certainly got your friend's attention, and resulted in a conversation about the campaign. Yep. I think it's working.

Yes, it was hilarious. He often was. Unfortunately, since the censors didn't have the same sense of humor he was taken off the air. Makes no sense to me.

I posted "I like it on the couch" and felt in no danger of harassing anyone. It is not a work setting, and those who read my postings are my 'friends.' By the way, my husband agrees with me (that I like it on the couch.)

Hey! I am tired and ready for the weekend. My dog Buddy was in a LOT of pain last night and had to be squeezed into the vet this morning, but I need to be chipper and sweet tonight when hubby takes me out for our 33rd anniversary. Don't mess with…

Hmmmm. Stares poignantly. Is that what you are supposed to be doing in your profile picture?

Frank, when are you going to start your own blog? Even though you are a crazy liberal, I would read it...religiously. I read the article and found the lengths she suggested a little too much. I suppose if we were a large company who had been hit …

Ours is not electronic, so we hand out forms every year. Employees wishing to make a change on their health plan, or any employee who wants to participate in the FSA plan complete and submt the form. Those making not changes or not participating i…

It depends. The law allows for several methods, but you much choose one and stick to it. You can have calendar year periods, or your FMLA can use look forward or backward rolling year methods. You just need to be consistant. If you had a calenda…

I have been surprised by some of the places we show up (mostly blogs I have never heard of), but there was nothing that made me think we needed to take action. I also watch my name and user names. The only user name I ever have had show up is the …

[QUOTE=joannie;720754]My DIL was just hired at a national chain Mexican restaurant. Part of her paperwork included signing a statement that she would not "badmouth" the restaurant on any social networking site while or after being employed. I'm ha…

[QUOTE=Paul in Cannon Beach;720745]Yes, I think to some degree, location and circumstances should be considered when evaluating behavior. A professional "exotic dancer", for example, can't complain that her customers are leering at her. I am not …

Insurance coverage is not a qualifying factor for FMLA. Though you might not consider 'elective' surgery as a serious health condition, I believe, like Frank, that recovering from any major surgery qualifies as a serious health condition. Coming b…

FMLA is for a serious health condition, a family member's serious health condition, or for the birth or adoption of a child. I don't think your scenario qualifies.

Paul: Are you saying location makes a difference on whether or not is ok to be sexually harrassed? I think if someone puts themselves out there as 'hot' they can expect to be treated that way. Whether or not it crosses the line is subjective. I …

I used to work for a company that did things a little different. You were not given a raise over your salary range, but if you would have otherwise qualified, you were given a 'Lump Sum Payment.' So, for example, if you made $10/hr and were at the…

I don't think you can without identifying the slacker. We handle it two ways. In one we communicate to the entire office (or dept) that certain actions should be avoided so the person doesn't feel singled out but the warning is out there. In a ca…

But wait! There's more! If you don't fill a position immediately (especially in this climate) then it means the company is in trouble and about to go down the tubes. If you don't work your employees the maximum hours it means they will not be abl…

I seem to remember a case where FMLA was granted to help a pregnant daughter because the spouse could not be there. We would approve such leave here, but I am not sure if it would actually count against their total FMLA. This one might require a l…

I can't imagine actually spending a lot of time on fb unless you are playing games or actually talking to someone. I occassionally spend some time talking with one of our girls in California (she is a step-daughter actually, but after 33 years...)…

CNGR: If all your family is close by and you can keep in contact with them all the time then you have no need for fb. My family (as well as many of my friends) is spread out around the country. I hear from nieces and nephews (and great-neices and …

[QUOTE=ACU Frank;720626]Writing race-based (for example) comments on the app is completely different than accepting a photo. Can anyone provide me of an example of a verdict against an employer for allowing an applicant to submit a photo with his…

We do not have a policy other than our normal 'don't embarrass the company' policy. I have only had one awkward situation with it so far. A new employee friended me, and since she was already friends with several other employees I agreed. She the…

The type of business you are in sometimes determines how strict you must be. For instance, we are owned by a hospital and use their criteria. Essentially that means employees must be present for scheduled hours 95% of the time. Anyone exceeding 5…

I think it's like making a note on your paperwork that the person was a 'soft-spoken woman' or 'tall hispanic man.' You may mean well, but having color, sex, national origin, etc, glare at you gives support to a lawsuit claiming discrimination.

Big hair doesn't make you look like a woman. I saw lots of women with big hair in the 80's who looked like men. Big hair just makes you look like you have big hair, and if you have big hair these days, like you have issues.

Churches have volunteers. Volunteers are, by definition, unpaid. That doesn't mean that they can't learn something while they are there, but they are still volunteers. Interns are there to learn. If they are there to support the business, rather…

Sawnia: I don't have a LOT of experience in this area, but we went through a downsizing in 2001 and this is what I learned: Communicate, communicate, communicate. Let the employees know what you are doing and why, every step the of the way. Help…
