Yep. You're not asking for...but begging for an ADEA lawsuit. I guess I am curious why the 70 and over crowd was singled out. Any of this could apply to any employee on a yearly basis. What's to say any age group might have poor health, work perf…

I imagine on her final pay that you will go back and retro to November when you cut her a check. Also, you may want to change your handbook phraseology(?) on evaluations to something like "employee performance will be evaluated from time to time,…

Full time employees are as follows: 0-1 year 11 days At 1 yr. pt. 16 days At 5 yr. pt. 21 days 10+ years 26 days Less than 40 hours is prorated out. *Sr. Managers receive an additional five days a year. We can also carry over 45…

This does not surprise me. South Carolina is very similar in its "friendliness" towards employees. We recently terminated a medical assistant because of her skill level. She had been trained, counseled, etc. in the proper way to perform certain…

I can just about guarantee you that if most of your group that is let go is over the age of 40, you WILL have ADEA lawsuits staring you in the face. I think the statistical analysis is a great idea and I would also present it to your attorney b…

Employee manuals, like personnel files in most states, are the property of the employer. There is no reason for the ex-employee to have an employee manual except in the matter of litigation. If they have an attorney, the attorney will subpoena the…

This sounds like some requests that I got right after Bill Clinton as his last official duty, signed into law all the additional OSHA regulations which included ergonomics in the workplace. This was promptly repealed. I got all kinds of requests f…

A resume is an "information gathering" document and an application is a legal document which, by the applicant's signature, grants you the right to check references, etc. and also alleges that what is contained in the application is true. We will a…

I would think this could be handled the same way as embezzeling funds from the company. Legally what you can do depends upon how much money is involved. Contact an attorney about this. I would not want this guy working for my company any longer. …

Linda: This is a tricky issue due to the fact that this was a social event, but was sponsored by the company and therefore, put the company at liability. My first inclination would be to write him up or ban him from future parties until he reach…

We only offer reloc to physicians, midlevel providers and senior employees. These can vary from person to person. Includes flying person in for interview (also pay for spouse) and their expenses. Fix them up with a realtor so they can see the a…

Don...love your very appropriate spelling of assinine! We have someone returning from deployment on Monday who was a pain in the butt to begin with. His "deployment" consisted of sitting on his rear for 18 months at a desk across town at the arm…

I was browsing in a bookstore over the holidays and saw several books written specifically for employees about their "rights" in the workplace. This guide specifically told them how to go about getting an attorney to assist them in alleged violatio…

If this is a sincerely held religious belief, and she has not participated in the Sunday schedule previously, I'd grant the accomodation. But, I would make sure that she worked a proportionate amount of Saturdays to ease the burden on those folks w…

If a company chooses to sponsor events where alcohol is served, it is the company's responsibility if something happens, not the facility or the bartender. You can try pointing out the underaged drinker, but as the others have said, this person wil…

I don't give former employees anything from a file. If they have an attorney, then I have their attorney subpoena it and then our attorney deals with the litigation, if any. This may be state specific, but I don't think so.

I agree with not monkeying around with the direct deposit as he did, indeed, have a reason for having his check go into a separate account. Powers of Attorney are made for this very reason and I think you would be playing with fire to arbitrarily c…

Having just attended a funeral on Friday where there were more than 500 people in attendance, I could only imagine what the funeral home would say if only a portion of those folks asked for a "funeral excuse". In this case, I would trust people u…

We're a medical practice and we don't allow employees to bring their children to work. It would be very disruptive in our work environment and given the fact that we have a three story building (stairs), it would be very dangerous to have them unde…

I agree with the other posters. It's not always prudent to take care of something as swiftly as we should and other employees do not always know the "reasoning and rationale" behind employment decisions. They think they do, but more times than not,…

In South Carolina, the onus is on the retailer to check IDs on those individuals who they feel may be underage. I believe they now check on those 21 and under for cigarettes (some of these "minors" look much older than they really are, these days, …

I had an issue similar to this where receipts that I presented were conveniently "lost". I just called the AP Department and advised that I really didn't know what kept happening to my receipts, but in the future, I would keep a copy and make a not…

This is an interesting topic that was addressed in a two day legal seminar that I recently took regarding the FMLA and infertility. The jury, evidently, is still out on this one. According to the information I received, infertility treatments may …

Why don't you just eliminate this problem and have the bug man come in at 5PM instead of putting yourself through the hassle of letting everyone leave at 4:30 when they should be working until 5PM?

I am reminded of a particularly funny Seinfeld episode where George's family celebrated what they called "Festivus" where they displayed a bare pole in the middle of the room instead of a Christmas tree. Everyone sat around and explained how they h…

Sonny: We don't call them "romance" agreements - we call ours a non-fraternization policy. I will be glad to email or fax you what we use in our practice if you would like a copy.

Our manual is also on line. In orientation, I have everyone sign a statement advising that our manual is on line and they have instructions on how to access. When we update the manual, generally at the beginning of each year, we simply attach a …

Sohappy: I can tell you from vast experience in the healthcare industry that if you hire someone with direct patient care that has this type of conviction in their background, it puts your organization at great liability. If you "knew or should ha…

Nope, we have had this happen before and wish them on their merry way.
