You will need to comply with whatever your state law requires, be it 1 yr. or 3 yrs. I would never destroy any applicants paperwork prior to the designated required period. What right does an applicant have to tell you to destroy their paperwork? …

The only policy we have is that our custodial engineers better not clean or straighen my desk or I would never be able to find anything.

Lon - Welcome to the forum. If you have been reading posts for any amount of time, I'm sure your aware that you will get numerous varying opinions and advice and some may be rather blunt. With that disclaimer out of the way, what can this employee…

When we got ready to revise our handbook, I looked at a couple sample software packages that a neighboring company had purchased. My contention that was that I was going to have to change so much verbiage to make it sound anywhere near like our com…

Shortly after posting the above, I received my August edition of the Tennessee Law Letter and there is an article on the last page concerning this. The court concluded that since the handbook specifically stated that it was not a contract that the …

I have not heard of any suits pending concerning this but in today's world you never know. I would shiver to think that I did not have a signed acknowledgment sheet from our EEs. There have been countless times that having that one little sheet of…

If you surveyed 10 companies on this subject, you would probably get 10 different responses. It is probably dependent on what works best for you. I have been involved with about every option you threw out and the one that seemed to work best was h…

In a former life, the company I worked for insisted that we conduct such a survey. IMO it was time and effort wasted. You will get very few honest responses and when you do happen to get a "workable" suggestion or two and you implement one and not…

I would much rather have a written statement with all of the facts stated rather than a fill-in-the-blank form that may ask for something irrelevant or leave something out that is very relevant. With a signed written statement the EE would not be a…

We give 3 hours of vacation time each month for perfect attendance and no tardies or leave early.

Welcome to the forum. What are you considering a "Formal" warning? We treat any warning the same. Some may be verbal and others written but a warning is a warning and any and all warnings end with the verbiage that any future violations may lead …

I would agree with Sonny. If you are making this mandatory then "NO CHARGE". However, if it is a learning alternative you offer, you might look at a partial charge and pro-rate depending on the grade earned.

I don't have any set form. However, I do usually ask the same or very similiar questions of all applicants. Depending on the open position and the experience of the applicant, the way I formulate the questions may be totally different. I have fou…

We had the same problem and formulated the following brief policy for our handbook. "Unless authorized for business purposes, Personal Cell Phone use is prohibited in the plant or office area. Emergency procedures are in place for incoming calls a…

I have sent you an overview of another "NO FAULT" policy. This takes all of the subjectivity out of the supervisor's hands.

The only experience I have had is with the Public Sector - teachers. My wife is a member of the "Sick Leave Bank" and contributes 1-2 days per year. She would then be able to use X amount of days in Y amount of time up to a max per event and a lifet…

We have approximately 350 employees and we offer 3 days for immediate family (your list plus grandparents and father/mother in-laws) and 2 days for other family members. I am in TN.

Anne, during my last quarterly audit review of the supervisor's files, I discovered both of the problems you related. I have some who do a great job of orally administering policy but fail to document anything. Then there are others who document e…

Tony, where were you 10 years ago when I needed you????????

I was involved in a start-up a few years back. We tried to take parts from several companies employee handbooks to create our policies and procedures and we could never make it work. We finally decided to document everything we did, how and when e…

We have a benefit called Family Flex Time which gives up to 24 hrs. in a rolling 12 month period for the: Health, Education or Welfare for an immediate (per policy) family member. This covers any and all of our EEs unless they do not have an immedi…

I agree with Don. There was a thread a few days ago about re-hires. It had been the "norm" before I got here to destroy disciplinary notes at termination. Had those still been in the file, a couple of the re-hires that backfired would not have ha…

We pay all employees, exempt and hourly the difference betweeen what the court pays and their normal weekly income. Why would you punish someone by not paying them to perform their civic duties? IMHO, that sends a pretty pitiful message about your…

Falsifying any type of company records/paperwork is listed in our handbook as a terminating offense and that is exactly what we would do in this instance if we had appropriate documented "proof".
