  • [QUOTE=ACU Frank;720153] The point is, none of my employees can view that at work. And that's wrong. Just plain wrong. [/QUOTE] Err.. are you talking about the employees not being able to see it, or the actual clip? O:)
  • We don't have any telecomuters right now, but we have had in the past. We have never compensated anyone for use of their home. The situation was as convenient for them as it was for us (and sometimes more for them). We did pay for a phone line, a…
  • We have something similar to what Sonny suggested. A line, just before 'all other duties as assigned,' that says 'assist xxxx (job title) with all aspects of xxxx (main job duties of that position).' I kind of like the idea of wording it along the…
  • I sometimes feel like I post too much so have been trying to restrain myself. I couldn't get to the first article, and the 2nd one was more scientific than I usually like. The studies' author made some good points, but I am not sure they are real…
  • Address the performance issues as you would any other employee. If the employee brings up the depression as an explanation or defense, then you can offer an EAP and/or FMLA. Many employees feel they just have to tough it out and won't automaticall…

  • Wow! You guys are really making me think about reading some of these books. It is just that I hate to leave a story in the middle so have to set aside a big block of time to read a book unless it is a self-improvement type book. CNGR: I spent so…

  • You are right, I don't read a lot of supernatural kinds of books. I don't even read a lot of popular fiction. I tend to not like anything scary, and just knowing that vampires were involved put me off. However, there was so much hype and my daugh…

  • Here's an interesting article with anther possible take on the situation: [url]http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/25/AR2010062504087.html?hpid=topnews[/url]
  • If the absences have met the minimum requirements for FMLA, and the employee is otherwise qualified, give them the paperwork. Both the employee and the employer need to be protected. The paperwork is the first step.

  • I have not read the article, so am not really in a position to judge. Two things came to mind though, 1) Freedom of speech in particular applies to government employees and 2) how could someone smart enough to become a general be so stupid as to gi…
  • I can only add that you should send the job description too. The physician may not have a clear idea of what the employee will actually be doing. If the physician is clear, and still says June - Sepetmber, then I don't see what else you can do abo…
  • Excellent article! Thanks for the link. We only have 2 men working here, but both are involved with their children. One has worked here for awhile and uses his vacation time as a Scout leader. The other just started, but the way he talks about h…
  • Anything and everything could create an issue in the future. Does your STD cover every employee, or just a certain class of employee? Making every effort and being required are not really the same thing. However, if your STD doesn't cover everyo…
  • Well, you could just show them your posts here, on FB or Twitter. That would show them that you are knowledgable and able to argue your points well. However, I would change the picture first. The one you have up that you took last winter makes yo…
  • Dear Mr./Ms. Frank: Is that better? ::pb&J::
  • You GO Frank! We'll root for you!
  • 500 decisions is a lot. How many of them will be a major problem with most employers?
  • Sharon, Sharon, Sharon. 1) The study was not done on men and women, so there is no telling if it is a 'man' thing or not. 2) Dr. Wade specifically said the number one thing regarding cheating in relationships was "learned behavior." 3) The study …
  • I don't get what the big deal is with this teller. Hmmm. Perhaps if the shirt were in something besides PINK I could look at the situation objectively. As far as I know though, anything in pink is acceptable. Well, I guess I draw the line at pin…
  • Are you kidding or living in the dark ages? Of course they know all about it. Even in the 60's kids were being taught about what happens when you grow up by that age. Of course, not as explicitly as they do today, but body functions were definite…
  • [QUOTE=ACU Frank;720039]I'm also wondering how much the interracial aspect had to do with the decision.[/QUOTE] Indeed. Their actions speak so much louder than their words that it is difficult to decide if they are honest and totally lacking in ta…
  • It wasn't adultery, but it [I]was[/I] extramarital. I can understand the school's concern regarding having a teacher getting pregnant before marriage since they are a religious institution, and we are talking about a role model here. However, it d…
  • Thank you Frank! That DID make me feel better.

  • Oh I don't think she has a case, not based on the information given. It does sound like Citibank reacted as if she were dressing provocatively, which was wrong. Being wrong and behaving illegally are not necessarily the same thing. If Citibank di…
  • She is a very attractive girl with the kind of figure that will certainly get her a lot of male attention. I found that, for the most part, she was dressed appropriately in the first 30 photos; I would have a problem with the way she was dressed in…
  • We try to have a generic policy that covers a wide variety of issues. It still has to be updated about every 3 years, or more often if any court cases have an impact.
  • Your evil comes and goes, Frank's is permanent. If you don't believe me, just listen to his political views sometime. ::pb&J::
  • I wish I could say it was vacation. I got hit with a bug going around and was gone for more than a week. My office looks like a cyclone hit it. Well, to be honest it almost always does, but now it is much worse than usual and I have someone at my…

  • How do you spell evil? F R A N K
  • If this works it will force universities to change their business model. Education may be completely different by the time my youngest grandchildren get to college.
