I, too, use an attorney to start with our physician population. If they see how a lawsuit affects their "bottom line", they tend to perk up and listen. I have written and I also conduct the harassment for supervisory personnel. I use a purchased …

Carol: I agree with the others - the employee owes the total $5,000 back. I am not a big fan of signing bonuses. When I worked at a hospital, we had nothing but trouble from people not wanting to pay them back, even though they signed the agreeme…

DJ: You might want to wear a face guard!

Number One: She can thank her lucky stars that she recovered her engagement ring! Most thiefs are smart enough not to pawn in the area where they might be recognized or identified by someone else. This almost appears on the surface to be an ope…

If we don't receive a time card, we generally pay for a straight 40 hour workweek. If there was additional pay involved and this was not submitted, then the employee would have to wait until the next payday to get paid for this. A disciplinary wou…

Hey Scorpio: I feel your pain. I, too, work for a physician practice,but I have 28 docs to deal with. What I would do,and have done in the past concerning policies, is to grandfather those in that already have the "freebie" and those hired afte…

In my estimation, the best sales people are those strictly on commission. Our office supply salesperson works strictly on commission and he has the best attitude/customer service philsophy of any sales person I've ever met. He knows you'd better b…

If this was me in our particular organization and the documentation was weak, I'd start the documentation and disciplinary based on these recent infractions. I would clearly lay out what the expectations are for this employee to follow and what the…

If it was a postdated check and the bank cashed it anyway, they are liable to reimburse you the NSF charge. If, on the other hand, it was issued and the employee was simply told (via the handbook policy) not to cash it until the following day...thi…

If you have an attorney, ask them to write the letter for you asking the "ex" to cease and desist this behavior. Also, as someone else suggested, advise him that his behavior is slanderous and may be grounds for further litigation from the affected…

The religious accomodation is for a "sincerely held" religious belief. Since this guy has been taking the Sunday mornings off since the beginning and will be on LWOP after exhausting his vacation pay, I'd say his accomodation was sincerely held. A…

First of all, I agree with the other poster about the inherent dangers in hiring someone little darlin's to work in the same organization as parents who think their offspring can do no wrong. That being said...if I was the other employee involved…

I wouldn't put much credence in these type of calls - obviously from a disgruntled "whatever". I would advise the employee that I did receive the call and let him or her know what's going on and someone is trying to make trouble for them. I had …

We generally don't allow employees to take LWOP unless it is an emergency. We have a very generous leave policy and it is stressed in orientation that employees should bank up a couple of weeks leave in case of an emergency situation. Regardless o…

Sounds like a nut to me. I would have put an end to the conversation just as quickly as possible. I got a call last week form a person who had submitted her resume wanting to know why she didn't get an interview. She was highly qualified and just …

I think we all have days like this...weeks....months or even years... I can tell you that I have felt some of the same frustrations with dealing with employees. The massive amount of people problems in the workplace today is relatively new. I th…

We had this happen with a much loved security guard and we planted a dogwood tree in his memory with a little plaque at the base with his name on it. You may want to consider something like this or a "memorial bench" in front of your building with …

If you can afford it, don't take this job. If you don't like the industry and the person you have to deal with on a day to day basis,each day will be a living hell and you will hate to get up in the morning. Enjoy your summer, collect unemployment…

Carrie: Don't be surprised if the employees involved don't find out fairly quickly. It appears that he told at least two other people in the organization that (1) he has HIV and (2) had relations with others in the company. Knowing the propensi…

We don't have designated times for breaks. Employees just take a quick break when they need one, but supervisors may structure this as they see fit to ensure proper staffing in our practice. One department lost their "smoking privileges" through c…

BLW: I've never had anyone take offense at a statement such as what you've mentioned or what Don stated also. The only issue I have ever had with religion in the workplace comes from "prayer type meetings", especially "departmental ones" that ap…

I believe if the employee was gracious enough to agree to resign if this issue caused a problem, then the employer should be equally as gracious to extend a letter of reference if the job performance warrants it. One of the other posters brought up…

I remember in a former life a company I worked for went from being run by a "pro-employee" CEO to being run by the former CFO and the controller. Needless to say...the comments we started hearing were all money related...."Employees sure cost a lot…

I have to agree totally with Don. After having worked for the last several years, as a member of Sr. Management on the same level as the COO and the CFO, who all report to the CEO.....I'd never be able to start reporting to a CFO or any accounting …

As others have said...look at what you have done in the past with others with a temporary disability...and go with that. If you have not advanced additional leave to others with temp disability,then you are within your rights to term because of exh…

HR is indeed the "dumping ground" for planning parties, social activities, etc. I found as I climbed the HR ladder, I had less and less time to plan parties, etc. We have what we call a Customer Care Team which assists patients and their families.…

We do the same. Just let the direct deposit go. If, for some reason, there was no direct deposit, then the check should be made payable to "Estate of". The spouse or "next of kin" is not necessarily automatically entitled to these funds, especial…

Typically, EEOC requests a complete copy of the personnel file. I would tend not to give an employee in litigation anything without checking with our attorney first. This request doesn't make much sense.
