Cristina: Without the store closing, how can there be a lay-off due to budgetary constraints? Advise your friend to certainly go re-apply and wait for the failure to hire a seasoned store manager, just because he was laid off for budget reasons. …
-
MrsBowden: Thanks your friend must immediately read the details of the offer letter. Without clearily understanding what the letter says, which becomes the employer's words on which they react to any situation. I too am surprised at the cost plus…

JuJu: I re-read and your posting and reading is certainly more inteligent than mine. However, bothyour reading and my reading are in concert and feeds to the questions, I posted. COBRA offers must have a "Sunset or cancelation date" be it one mon…

MSBOWDEN: FIRST QUESTION TO GET ANSWERED; Does the offering letter also have a statement which says, "any failure to make timely premium payment received prior to the 1st day of the next month is an automatic cancellation of coverage!"? If you fin…

LESLIEC: YOU CAN SUSPEND THE INDIVIDUAL IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT PAY; SPECIFICLLY SET A SUNSET DATE FOR HER TO RETURN WITH THE APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTS OF HER CHOICE, OR HER EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR COMPANY IS CANCELLED. One can never withhold o…

Pull out the documentation of the 1st offense, provide it to the Top Dawg and inform him there is no need to investigate further; however, based on this document the company may want to write him up another letter of warning which lays out any new i…

SHEBERT: A different approach; review your attendance policy and your probationary or orientation words. Have your 1st step discussion in your disciplinary policy. Inform the ee it is the ee's responsibility, like all other employees, to provide …

DASHER: FMLA is one of my favorite Federal Laws because of the straight forward nature of administering. You should not worry about FMLA. We are a little bit larger than 50 people, but you can always hire a temporay hire person to fill in for the…

KPRATT: Our policy is based on the US POST OFFICE instruction and we offer the EE the option: a) Pay the banking fee of $25.00 to stop payment on the lost check and we cut the check in our next check run. b) The company pays the stop payment cost…

In addition to my previous post: FMLA WILL PROTECT YOUR OWN MEDICAL COVERAGE DURING THE FMLA PERIOD. I WOULD SUSPECT YOU WOULD STILL HAVE TO PAY YOUR PERSONAL SHARE OF THE MONTHLY PREMIUM. If you quit right now you would be offered COBRA coverage…
-
LFERNANDES: I recommend you jump at the opportunity to apply for FMLA to care for your sick DAD. Get your application in today not tomorrow, if the word on the street is that you will soon lose your job then beat the company to the punch, and punc…

MARC: Trust your BOSS and let him/her come to you with guidance. You have got enough on your plate with out shoveling more on your plate than you can stand. PORK

LET'S NOT MAKE A "MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLE HILL"; if one does not want to be NOSEY about what one friend may have said to another upon departing the company, then accept that the third copy of the letter is the same as the other two and you don't need…

ROCKIE: 1st Step up and take credit for the error, (which it appears you have already done). 2ndly, do not openly question the honesty of the ee. 3rdly, set up the plan for re-payment leaning to the ee's side for how severe the re-payment is to b…

FREYH8: It is time to grab the "Hog by the ear" and move the supervisor to a new location and put an equal opportunist in the place to run a tight ship, fairly. After relocating the supervisor a senior manager needs to have a "heart to heart or co…

Balloonman: Don't doubt that, THC imbeds itself into the fatty tissues of the body and refuses to evacuate its new found home. A heavy weight like myself will retain the THC chemical up to 11-13 weeks. PORK

LeeR: It is astounding to me that we Mississippians are so estute. You are absolutely right the focus has got to be the end result of a POSITIVE TEST and not the dialogue on the type of testing. Our policy removes this company out of the line o…
-
MARCY: WELCOME on board the forum. Your perspective as a "non-company employee handbook" organization will be interesting and gives a strong representation to all of the young HRs on our net. Please, engage often, you'll be hard pressed to catch …

CHARI: Does your drug testing policy state the individual will be terminated or dismissed or words to that effect? If it does then your policy and procedures across the board is suspect and "null and void". Company actions always "SPEAK LOUDER TH…
-
HRratrace: I suggest you get a new lab; why are you talking directly to a lab? I would speak to my physician who is responsible for the review of the ee's testing. I really question your statements; my experience is that 2nd hand smoke can be ach…
-
We too offer an alternative to termination, by allowing the adamant employee the opportunity to provide his/her own documentation within 24 hours, proof of a more sensitive test either hair or blood at the individuals expense. With the documentatio…

and to add if your policy is like ours termination is the result of a "refusal to provide a urine sample for testing or a positive result" is a terminating event. Good guy or not do not destroy the value of a well written and exercised company poli…

RMARCEAUX: Medical is the only area of benefits to which the ee has to elect COBRA COVERAGE, which must be offered and he must accept or decline. Make sure he has properly cleared out with you and he has given any written notification of his milit…

Linda: Eactly my recommendation. Either the General Manager (TOP HOG) get involved or you should relax and disband the safety committee and let the cost associated rise until it does get his attention. It is not your position to be the SAFETY GURU…

KENNEDY: Hire yourself a labor person with English as a 2nd language. We have two and this date this problem rose again. I had a Hispanic walk off the job site with out permission, problem was communications. I have discussed this situation with…

DONNA BANKER: I have again re-read your original post, my post, and your reply. It still appears from the information you provided and your basic concern was the legality and risk issue concerns are still there. When your employee (manager/superv…

AND A VERY SMART 2 CENTS WORTH! Cell phones are here to stay and all of us (employers) need to figure out how we can use them to our employer advantage. We can not let us older managers refuse to come into this century and stick our heads in the…
