The forum is a great source for ideas. When we were planning the movie event I asked for ideas from the forum. I received a lot of ideas and it was hard to pick one. We ended up choosing "Miracle" (hockey movie with Kurt Russell.) The movie was …

It depends on the organizational culture and the type of jobs. The lower the pay, the more it becomes about the money. The higher the pay, the more prestige and being appreciated enters into the mix. If you are looking to improve morale, you migh…

Thank you Sharon, but someone emailed me one already. It was just what I was looking for, and has already been modified, presented, and signed. Nae

That's a lot of moula for a company contemplating layoffs. Still, it is cheaper than a lawsuit. More importantly, it increases the value of your company's reputation with the employees. Having a reputation as a caring and concerned employer will …

And I would be WRONG! [url]http://www.laboremploymentlawblog.com/disability-court-of-appeal-employee-can-sue-for-disability-bias-despite-absence-of-medical-evidence-and-absence-of-any-explicit-request-for-an-accommodation.html[/url]

The person likely has knee, hip, or other issues caused by the weight. Those might be ADA issues too. I would consider being allowed to use a scooter an accomodation, but not providing one. Having said that, I am sure I would check with a lawyer,…

I read it more than one place, but page 55 of the March 9th issue of Business Week has an article called, "Cutting Costs Without Cutting Jobs" by Matthew Boyle. It may not realy be what you are wanting though, as it has a number of ideas, including…

Rita is right. Having a job, even if you are barely getting by, is much better for your self esteem. It is easier to get a job too. I have read where some companies have left it up to the employees, and they always choose the pay cut rather than …

GM is probably over-reacting to some spat between employees. This is NOT the way.
-
The manager is obviously a loose screw. Voila! One more job they can cut.

Actually Frank, I am not surprised. There are an enormous amount of people out there who don't know or care what tact is all about. Many believe the best way to manage is through fear. Sad but true.

A clearly and enforcable policy works wonders. Make sure you communicate clearly to the employees that this practice is fraud and will not be tolerated. Follow your policy if your employees don't and soon everyone will get the point. Good luck! …

I have no experience with pay cuts, but I do with layoffs. Morale is bad company-wide after a layoff because everyone wonders who is next. Plus, those left behind have lots of extra duties and deadlines. They tend to jump ship as soon as they are…

Ok Everyone. Mark you calendars for May 11th and let's countdown Joannie's tax deadline. Should we start a pool to see what date she actually ends up filing?

Since the Dow Jones was nearly 15,000 at its high and it is now hovering around 8,000, it is no wonder many 401k's lost value in a big way. However, historically speaking we can expect it to go back up over the next 5-7 years. In the meantime, tho…

It's just big chocolate squares, but it makes a hard chocolate coating on the ball. I had never heard of it either before this recipe. I found it with other baking goods at the grocery store. Some recipes call for regular semi-sweet chocolate squ…

Several years ago I worked for a TPA. We had a client who termed health insurance at the end of the last shift worked (it went until midnight if the participant elected COBRA.) If an employee was termed on one day, COBRA started the next day, and …

=D> Isn't great to get a long term problem resolved? I am going on 3 weeks on an IT issue. But my motto is NEVER GIVE UP so I am sure to win in the end.

Thanks for the update C. With the general environment you are in and the details you gave, it sounds like you did the right thing. It is hard to let someone go in this economy, especially if they have been a long term employee. However, it would …

Also, it sounds like everything has been said with the GM, but if you do get another opportunity, you might remind him that you were not giving him examples of when he was racist, but rather examples of when he might have been [I][U]perceived[/U][/I…

I agree with Linda. However, just make sure your documentation is correct and in place. You know that you are not targeting this employee, but make sure your documentation proves it.

There used to be regular health plans that could not be termed mid-year, but it was in the contract and I am not sure if they are still legal. Technically, you can term your health coverage even if it is Section 125, however, you still have to cont…

Here is some clarification by the IRS (if the word 'clarification' can really apply when you are talking IRS). [url]http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-09-27.pdf[/url] The involuntary termination definition starts in the question and answer section …

We only have a PTO plan, but we allow buybacks on it. Employees are allowed to do a buyback once per calendar year. Employees must have a minimum of 160 hours in their bank to do a buyback, and has to buy PTO in 8 hour increments. Buy backs are p…

Chik Fil A is a great little fast food restaurant usually found in malls. Their ads show cows holding up signs saying "Eat more chicken." They serve all kinds of chicken sandwhiiches and waffle fries. The local place here never has any bad press,…

Agree with Joannie. They made the decision to leave the job, and you just completed the paperwork.

It seems to me that reading and copying the policies on this site (Margaret Morford's) would be a great starting place. Each one could be read and adopted (with or without minor changes) or discarded within 3 weeks. Then whomever processes them co…
