I would agree for you not to pay for spouses. This way you will not get "dinged" for not paying for significant others, friends, life partners, pets, children, etc. Keep your neck out of the noose!

What would probably hurt current employees the most is taking away their phone privileges, at least until, they "PAY UP". This also would help alleviate the problem of departing employees running up a big bill and not paying it. Just a thought!

It is my understanding that because of the Weingarten case, non-union employees were afforded to same rights as union employees to have a representative at a meeting. Keep in mind that this applies to fact finding or investigatory meetings. This d…

How bizarre! Workers Compensation does not have an age cut off. If your mom was injured on the job, then she would be covered. As far as the retirement, this appears to be beyond belief that they would "retire" her without discussing with her. …

I wouldn't call myself. I would have the employee call. Advise the employee that you have not received the statement. Tell her that she has until (date) to present the statement; if no statement is received by that time, she will be expected to p…

I agree. I can't see any reason for payroll to be opening employees' paychecks. They have access to all this information. I'd put a stop to this practice as employees may see it as an invasion of privacy being that this information is in a sealed…

It is one year retention. My attorney called me on this one when I put six months retention on our applications.

Most employers prohibit creditors calling employees at work. I would advise employee to take care of this situation - either deal with the delinquency or advise the creditor that they are not allowed to take calls at work. If they persist, you can…

I think a work environment can still be casual without being sloppy. I, too, agree that work is no place for shorts and t-shirts. If your job is something like a call center, why not go with a logo golf type shirt and twill or kakhi pants? This …

After an employee came to me in tears and said that her lunch had been stolen twice in a week, I put one of my "threatening" memos on the fridge saying that I didn't want to hear about this going on anymore and if we found out who the culprit was th…

Ours is the same as Mushroom. No intermittent leave for "bonding".

I'd do whatever I had to to get out of that place! Life is too short to work for someone like this. Find a good placement agency and get moving on this ASAP. I have worked for at least one company where I just didn't feel "right" about their vi…

Looking at this the way a jury would....it certainly appears that she is being targeted unfairly for something. If she has had no problem in all the years she has done this job...this guy best not mess with her. He needs to back off and find ano…

Another thing to consider: did any other employee has access the object that was broken. If several people could have had the opportunity to break the object, then you really have no proof that this person actually did it (just gut feeling). We r…

Our medical practice requires all employees to have a TB test. They are also commonly called PPD test. We also require certain individuals to undergo the Hep B vaccine We pay for all required innoculations, but we can get the vaccine at a nominal…

What a nest of nightmares this could end up being!The individual is on your payroll, but being paid out of pocket? Is the president paying her benefits, ss, taxes, etc.? I can see her being laid off, then coming back and claiming that she was made…

Pork: Do you work for my medical practice and I just haven't met you yet? This sounds suspiciously like my workplace!!!!
-
Jaded: I think all of us who have been in "the business" any length of time go through these highs and lows. As others have said, if you lose the empathy for the other fellow, the it IS time to move on. I've always tried to treat people I have …

Mistake? I think not. He knew of the policy and tried to get another employee to do it for him. He obviously knew this was wrong. My first inclination (probably rash) would be to fire him, but definitely would suspend (a week if he is exempt).…

When I worked for a bank several years ago, the management decided to open on Saturday mornings and we went through much of the same thing...unhappy employees...childcare issues....etc..threatened to quit.... The "petition" thing also came up and e…

I'd address this issue from a performance perspective - that her attitude was making it impossible to work with her. If you have an EAP, I'd direct her towards it to see if they could help her deal with whatever is bothering her. If this "personal…

We now require direct deposit on all employees. We have a few that we grandfathered in who still get "live" checks and it's just an additional expense and bother to the company. The check card is a good idea...most banks will allow a savings accou…

You and I share the same type of position. I, too,work for a large physician practice. This is a clear conflict of interest and somewhat unethical behavior on the part of the "pseudo CEO" that you have on contract. To be fair in the marketplace,…

I hope I have followed and can answer most of the questions here. First of all, there NEEDS to be a policy and guidelines concerning relationships between co-workers. As you can see, these relationships have created havoc and confusion and mistrus…

Nah...that's what those "Sex and the City" gals wear on their show. Those very high,skinny heels that will break off in a heartbeat!

Smoll - that's very interesting and I agree with it. Why should the company have to pay for an injury caused by a fashion faux pax? Anyway, the Oxfords would only apply if they were Manolo Blanicks.

Oh GROANNNNNN! I give up. Why can't they just wear oxford laceups?

Thanks guys! I guess I call anything backless a "clunky" shoe as that's the sound it makes on a hard floor. Just curious Smoll...how do you get around this being noncovered in Maryland?
