Our employees have the option of clocking in via computer or using the time clock. We don't use paper time sheets any longer. We use ADP as our payroll provider.

I would also send the letter to the spouse advising that it is against the law to make harassing or threatening phone calls and you are putting her on notice if it occurs again, legal action will be taken to stop the calls. If the employee gets a…

I would think as long as you, as the company, did not provide the liquor, you would be okay. We have gone round and round with this one at our Holiday Parties and we have had cash bars, open bars, etc. We also provide rooms at a nominal cost for…

Actually, this has turned out to be a much stranger situation than it first appeared. We have two clinical people in house who work in the same department. They are only the only ones certified to shoot a chest x-ray on our clinical floor. This…

Sorry...this would be non-exempt.

Some questions an attorney will ask you. (1) What made him good enough to promote 10 years ago? (2) Why, if his performance was substandard, did it take the company 10 years to do something about it? (3) Who was he replaced with? What is the …

Hi Marie! We have a nurse in our practice that displays these same attributes. She is a great clinical employee - knows her stuff, etc., but she is definitely high maintenance. She has been in several departments, but the same things happen - so…

This would be a classic textbook case of Workers Comp retaliation and he would probably receive mega bucks from your company! An employee who has had this many accidents in a short time probably knows the system and has worked it before....so the…

What is he....80? Being over 50 is no excuse to "slow down" unless there are medical issues. I think people "think" they are supposed to act or feel a certain way because of their age. The self-fulfilling prophecy!

We use Environmental Services Coordinator for the employee who performs these duties for us.

We have our handbook on line and do not have paper copies. I try to limit updates to once a year (sometimes I have to do it twice). I spent untold amounts of money and time trying to keep a paper handbook updated and it's just easier to keep it on…

Thanks for all your comments. I am still waiting for the written statement from the young lady before going forward. I have to wonder how truly "outraged" the father was about this. I have found out this past week the tech was going around telli…

I agree with everyone on this. I'm not a big fan of extending "notices". Usually, these people tend to act out and cause issues before they leave. I can't believe an attorney would take this case as a "hostile" work environment case. Just because…

Hey Wild&Sporty! It's very apparent that she doesn't want to be there any longer since her boss is gone. This is not an "untypical" situation. Unfortunately, I've found that no matter how good a person may be at their job, if their behavior a…

We went ahead with the hire. After investigation, candidate did not file any type of sexual harassment claim against employee. He just asked me to be reassigned because she was "coming on" to him. This was done by the hospital he worked at. There…

I have to agree with Pork. This is just one of several ways that employees get by with milking the clock for more overtime. We constantly battle with people eating at their desk and charging the time to the employer. We have recently asked peop…

You are being very generous! Our practice is subject to the FMLA, but we do have employees who go out for various things, mostly pregnancy, before they qualify. In this instance, we invite them to apply for a non FMLA leave of absence. On this ty…

We also have salaried nurses, so I feel your pain! You cannot dock a salaried employee's pay unless it occurs in the first or last week of their employment (this is per our labor attorney). Otherwise, any time a salaried individual works any part o…

There is no law that you have to have an employee work out their notice; however,they would be eligible for unemployment. Sometimes there are good reasons you don't want a person to work out their notice; in these instances, I always just pay them …

We give 7 paid holidays.

I'd immediately get him a company laptop and advise him as to what was found on his computer. His response will tell you a lot about what his intentions are. I'd also advise him of the company policy on pornographic materials at work. I'd tend to b…

I have to agree with WT. My policy is to be friendly with people, but not what I consider "friends". Human Resources is privy to too much confidential information and if it gets out in the context of a social setting where you are merely in attend…

I'd just start out letting the police conduct an investigation. Someone of this background may find it to their advantage to "fess up" or the book may, by some miracle, reappear.

I had this exact same thing happen. Our maintenance person who has been moaning and complaining for years about his workload, his bad back and wanting to retire. I had an opportunity to interview a replacement for him who was a perfect match for t…

I ran into this issue with a healthcare worker (nurse) who was under the influence of her depression medication. Unfortunately, she had a physician who stated that she was able to perform her duties as a nurse. Clearly, from our observation, she w…

We had an issue like this with an employee at a hospital where I previously worked. She was confined to a wheelchair for many years and occasionally had accidents at work. She kept a set of clean clothes with her and she finally had to start weari…

If it was me, I'd send out a memo about what was happening in the bathrooms and asking that it stop immediately. I'd go on to say if it was found out who the culprit was, they will be fired on the spot.
