  • HR in TX, Abandonment in our company is documented when some one walks off, followed then by two more days of "no call no show", followed by a termination action as a "voluntary quit". The "voluntary quit" is supported by the 1st warning for "leav…
  • Missy, I am with the last post get the employee out. Accept the employees comments a factual call 911 and turn it over to the medical field. Treatment of injury with cleaning, antibodic cream, and a bandaid is not going to fix the wound here. This…
  • Good question? Over 25 years of experience in Human Resources, I have never ask nor seen a true definition. I have accepted that in organizations there are accounting resource systems, information systems, operating systems, transportation systems…
  • Present it to him in front of a peer who is willing to sign as a witness! I have the signature page in my enrollment page and all new employees sign for the handbook. An old employee would be issued the booklet in front of his supervisor or his pe…
  • tmattern, Teresa may be right, the decision was most likely legal and could be justified; however, if I'm the EE you can bet my attorney is setting the pace and I'm right with him to the EEOC office to make the claim of 'wrongful termination, hostil…
  • Been there and done that on both sides. It is better for all parties to make the right decision at the right time. I would rather you tell me up-front that you have several offers and must take alittle time to think through the offers. I have fou…
  • Nothing wrong with it except it does not build "company first" loyalty. If the contracted company is going to have a personnel administrator on-board you should disregard the company loyalty, if that is not an issue with owners or upper management.…
  • AWilliams,We do background checks on truck drivers under DOT standards which include employment history, drug and alsohol testing, vehicular accidents, etc. All other employees under go a drug scred pre-employment. We do reference checks on all ot…
  • Chec, Our policy is more demanding! Refuse to provide a urine sample for testing and you are out the door. A positive result and you are out the door! All of which we pay for the test results. If one then changes his/her mind and wants to provid…

  • I agree, get a generic letter and mail it to all interviewees. However, there are some that you may want to remain in contact. Over the last two years there was in my view, the strongest candidate available but not selected. Now this week, we hav…
  • fed Regulation part 785 and section 785.18 &.19 walk you through the Rest and Meal breaks. Some where in these wonderful guides there is a section that takes 6 hour blocks of time as the guide and need for a rest break. Rest break is also a me…
  • No you can't force the employee to take your company medical coverage, but the court certainly can. They need the specifics of your family medical plan to ascertain the availability of coverage at what cost to the concerned employed parent. Our st…
  • Best thing to do is to add your nice warning into your message envelope, that all calls are monitored for quality control and is subject to recording. Then the incoming party must tell you to turn off the recording or hang-up before making any rash…
  • Your retained attorney is your source for such an agreement. We have always provided the individual with an opportunity to see the job, the site, the physical labor, and to discuss freely with any employee facts about the job and our company. We d…
  • Riley, While you are looking also include your supervisor level and your handlers. I found there was an obvious difference between my cowgirls and cowboys doing the same supervision of three handlers. The girls were making more on the average than…
  • Riley, GO GAL!!! "Dandy Don" go lightly here we got'us a sassy cat on the other side! I am with you: I have 11 of these types that run 11 different operations all producing the exact same product "out the back door". They are paid from $30,000 ann…
  • Riley, could it be that the one (1) female equal office manager out of four office managers is YOU? I ask, because I know of no other office manager in any organization in which I have been employed and a designated manager with the type of informa…
  • Paige, You are the most important manager in the company and you are the strongest team player. You can handle it either way! I have been there and done that. I was previously involved in the budget process in the largest company because I contr…
  • Ruby, OK, then leave it subjective; however, make their project manager responsible for arranging a rating of the crew and dealing with the President as to who should get how much of whatever. Last year we got an additional pot of bonus not budgett…
  • Ruby, glad you ask, a "piglet" is what I am all about these days, but Don the "piglet" is not ready for the Bar-B-Que, just yet; But, oh so good once it becomes 250 lb "gilt", which is a virgin, "pigletless female hog". The "Bore and the Sow" are …
  • Ruby T: If you want to establish an incentive program that is effective, it can't be done with subjective targets that are just as subjective as the action required to "put out more to achieve more". A bonus like you are talking should be left to …
  • What was the intended purpose of severence pay for lay off employees? Did anyone anticipate the need for recall at the on-set of the RIF? Given that severence pay is a part of a RIF action: to gain the support of the employee out-going and to ease…
  • You can first go to your application is there anything there that ask for convictions? but wait, you can't do that because you said between filling out the application and hiring. You have now hired a possible criminal and your position requires th…
  • Texas Gal, You need now to understand the other side of the story! I for one HR and probably the only one, "do not use Search Firms". When I was a retail HR for 8 years the company used search firms and spent lots of dollars because they had gotte…
  • Texas Gal: The answer is obvious, you look good on paper and then you show up and you look good in person. Your resume presented other things more important to the person reviewing the paper than education. I always look more sincerely at the wor…
  • Inpiggy, it reads like you need to read your employee handbook pertaining to senority rules and the application thereof. Additionally, read your notification and approval of your request, if you have one. If not available because they don't exsist…
