  • I have done the same thing. At first I tried to be polite and say no thanks, but that simply does not work. I get 4-5 calls a day about the "BEST" HR publications! I have been invoiced by one company 3 times, and have had to threaten them with legal…
  • My biggest pet peeve is not from employees, but from other HR folks who call for employment references. We have a policy that we will only give out date of hire, date of termination and position held. Nothing else. I always state this clearly on the…
  • Sorry!!!!!! I am a child of the 80's!!!!!!!! : )
  • I am just glad that someone else has a nikname. I am the youngest in my office, and I am affectionatly nicknamed "wittle girl" or the "college girl(even though I am a bit our of college)". Generally, this comes after a discussion of 60's & 70's …

  • Thanks to everyone! The e-mails have really helped and were all fabulous! I definitly have some direction now!
  • Does anyone from Ohio know if the same thing applies in Ohio as CA concerning the vacation payout? Currently, in order to get a cash out at termination, we require employees to have been employed for 1 year. Is this violating any law? Thanks for th…
  • OH also allows employees to see whichever doctor the employee chooses. We have no control over anything. Of course, we are allowed to suggest where we would like employees to go, but in no way can we force an employee to go to our preferred dr. We r…
  • I have unfortunatly had to undergo numerous outpatient surgeries personally. Just because the surgery is outpatient does not mean it is not serious. Many surgeries nowadays are considered outpatient by insurance. In my case, I needed two full weeks …
  • I work for a non-profit mental health agency. Last year, our turnover was at 40%...Mainly our problems stem from lack of funding and low wages...
  • Huh??!
  • Whew, thanks for that...
  • I do not think that asking for the phone # is discrimination. I am worried about discriminating against those who may not be able to afford the cost of a phone. Many of our employees live paycheck to paycheck and are on assistance from the state. My…
  • The discrimination was what I was worried about. I worried that this could have a negative effect on the protected classes in our area. The clinical director wants a personal number, be it home or cell, that they can always be reached at. I disagree…
  • Wouldn't Weingarten rights only apply if the meeting was an investigationatory interview? If they are simply disciplining an employee, Weingarten would not apply. also, management is under no obligation to notify employees of their Weingarten rights…
  • Thank you to everyone! I really appreciated all the suggestions, and will definitly be trying them out!
  • Not true!!! Many of us in Ohio say soda...I HATE when folks say "POP"!! I agree that the event should not take place at the workplace. However, there was a case a while ago that set a precedent for work sponsered/related events serving alcohol. Eve…
  • My mother was 16 when she had me. She is the person who I admire most in this world, she is my best friend and my greatest confidant. She is a role model for me and for others whose life she has touched. Just because a woman may become pregnant unde…

  • I work in a city with a large university very close. The university has a tremendous HR graduate program. Most of the students are what are considered "non-traditional", basically folks who have been in the field for years, and go back to school. ON…
  • I have been through the same situation with my employees. Unfortunatly, even if they ask the creditor not to call their work, the request expires after a certain time period, and the creditor may begin calling again. I honestly just finally got so t…
