I'd charge this extra break time as part of intermittent FMLA since it is doctor ordered and is in connection with her FMLA. She is really only working 3 hours a day, not 4 if you factor in the breaks.

We have a written dress code, but many tend to ignore it, especially in the summer months when it gets really hot in the South! The dress code is gone over with everyone in new employee orientation. Violaters get counseled once if they wear inappr…

If we feel employee is a problem or we don't feel comfortable having them remain in the position during a notice period, we just ask them to leave immediately. If we do this, we will pay them out the balance of their PTO account, but are not obliga…

I would not terminate, but I would certainly counsel on appropriate behavior at a company sponsored event. This, among other reasons, is why we went to a cash bar. We used to have an open bar (before huge liability was in place) and employees got …

Some statements are extremely "employee friendly" in unemployment claims. Here in South Carolina what the commission looks for is documentation, warnings (preferably written), unacceptable behavior that was well documented, violation of major emplo…

We have had a similar situation with our Marketing Director. She reports to the CEO, but as soon as he clears the door, she finds a reason to be out of the office in the early afternoon. Since she only works 4 days a week to begin with, everyone el…

Don't know what issues could be raised at this late date. Everything that I could think of is well past the statute of limitations. I never give former employees anything. They have to go thru an attorney.

Yep, this is the reason a lot of companies just simply do away with all celebrations because of the conflict and aggravation and hard feelings it causes. So sad that Christmas has come to this.

Safe harbor does have to do with 401(k). The short answer is Safe Harbor was put into place by the IRS as a means whereby companies can elect to automatically deposit a certain amount of money into employees' 401(k) accounts each year without hav…

Hey Pork! This is an old email, but if you still have this spreadsheet, I'd appreciate a copy of it.Send to [email]scallender@scheart.com[/email] Thanks!

WOW! I can't believe the GM actually went to this person's house and went inside. What a liability waiting to happen! He is lucky and so is your company!

Alert your security and make sure they do not let her or her spouse into the building. Also, contact your attorney to get a restraining order against her. Advise switchboard not to put her thru to any employee and advise her not to call the office…

Anytime I hire someone for Human Resources, I give them "the talk". I state that regardless how good they are at their position, if they can't keep their mouth shut about confidential issues,they can't work for me. I make it clear that this is non…

Gift giving is something that can quickly get out of hand. It can be expensive for those on a limited income and they can easily feel pressured to contribute to something they cannot afford. I discourage my HR staff from giving me a gift for any oc…

As long as a doctor approved it, she could come back the next day if she wanted to. Otherwise, no go. I have an employee who had major surgery and her physician wrote her out for 6-8 weeks. She thought she could come back after 4 weeks if I just l…

We, to, only dock full days for salaried employees. If they start to abuse the process by coming in for an hour or two and then leaving, this is addressed as unprofessional. We usually don't have these issues with salaried people as they (1) norma…

In our medical practice, we have had to actually "fire" patients from the practice because of inappropriate actions towards staff. In a facility, you are probably bound by other rules where you have to treat someone if they need it and may not have…

I have done this many times. I simply bring the person in and state that "You have been with the company for approximately _____ days/months. During this time, the company has had an opportunity to observe and get to know you. We have made the d…

I'd go ahead and relocate her if she has this condition. From someone is has gone thru and is still going thru renovations, constructions stirs up all kinds of debris, not to mention paint fumes, dust, dirt, mold, etc. We had to evacuate an entire…

General rule of thumb is one person per 300 employees for an HR Department. We have 2 1/2 people. Myself, degreed and certified; my assistant (about 3 years of experience). She handles all employee paperwork, inputing into the HRIS system, etc.; …

I've found that people who display this type of behavior never really change...they find other ways to exhibit it. Ideally, this person should have been terminated for this type of behavior, but in reality, sometimes they are maintained for various…

We don't allow religious groups to meet on company time. I once worked for a bank where one supervisor held these meetings in her office. Even though they were before hours, the employees who did not want to participate felt compelled to do so be…

I would not even think about delaying payroll. If you have to...do it early. It is a dangerous thing to have only one person who can do payroll. We are in the process of hiring another person as backup. Our payroll coordinator recently had a d…

Hi Mark! I would not allow any employee to hold your organization "hostage" in this manner. I would inform the employee that due to the fact that she has essentially put you on notice that she is leaving when she secures another position, that you…

You are right about that W.T.! Only difference in the story is there's always a "twist" so that the terminated employee was somehow mistreated by the company and there were good reasons for what they did!

If this is voluntary, then the company is under no obligation to pay for the time. If they go over their lunch break, I can't understand why they would expect to be paid for this. I believe you are very generous in paying for lunch as well as thei…

In South Carolina, polls are open from 7A to 7P, so we don't let employees off to vote.

Employees are free to send our their resumes to anyone they choose to. I know some companies have a very hostile approach to anyone "looking" for another job, but in a lot of cases, it is simply curiosity about an advertised position. If the posit…

Hi HR Girl! Thanks for the info. Do you have a contact or a website I could go to for further information? Thanks Rockie

I agree. I find the term "superior" indicative of someone being better than someone else. Same with the term "subordinate"...another outdated and demeaning term. I think supervisor and employee better explains the relationship in today's modern…
