Leslie: One of the requirements to make a religious accomodation is that the religion must be a sincerely held belief. Two points here: A person cannot be sincere in their religion for part of the year (when grannie and grandpops are out of town)…

I've learned there is nothing you can put past an employee to do. Just when you think you have heard if all, something else comes up. Last week was a doozy for me. We were paying an employee to attend a class twice a week,plus mileage. We foun…

I can't see how an employee who is a terminated employee could resign. I would ignore it.

>The guy may have rectal-mandibular syndrome. I think the medical term >is analgrinalosis, with 'lo' being the dominant syllable. In layman's >terms it means a sh*t-eating-grin. x:D Don,is that covered under the ADA?

Mwild: As serious as an employment lawyer can be...I guess. In their "esteemed opinion" they saw it as a form of sex discrimination and there was no good business reason to keep a male from wearing an earring while allowing females to wear them. …

At a former employer (hospital) there was a policy that forbade men to wear earrings, but at the same time, did not forbid women to wear "discreet, non-dangling earrings". A male employee wanted to wear a stud earring in one ear and was told he cou…

>Hmmm..the more I hear about Wal-Mart, the more suspect I am of that >little smily face...they had problems with race and gender >discrimination a while back too. They also had problems with making people work off the clock. I even …

Speaking from experience with ADP in payroll, I would not trust them to do anything with Human Resources. We recently switched from ADP to another vendor because of non-addressing of payroll issues. I can't imagine any "canned" product that would …

I would not recommend that you threaten her job, particularly if you think she is out for money. Advise her to come into your office to discuss this matter. No boyfriend is allowed in the meeting. This is a confidential personnel matter that do…

Congratulations on your baby! We have 20 pregnancies going on in our practice. In our fitness center, every guy down there has a wife or a significant other that is expecting. I will not set foot in that place! I don't know what kind of workou…

I can't for the life of me, see where an employer, union or not, would have to put up with someone wearing an offensive slogan on a piece of clothing for everyone to see. I'd just tell them it was not appropriate wear for work and if they wore it a…

I totally agree with those who said to process the raise and go forward. Hold the employee accountable for the improvements as outlined and if he refuses...start the disciplinary process. Don...I believe the French version of this is called "Pisso…

As someone who has been through this many times, the anticipation is worse than reality. Depositions are mostly fact gathering and handled a little differently than being on a witness stand in a courtroom. Usually, your attorney will be right ther…

Agree with Don. The controller's ulterior motive is to save the company overtime, but a bookkeeper in no, way, shape or form would qualify as an exempt level employee.

I agree with Shadowfax and Margaret about the promotion. If this goes to court, the first thing that will be latched onto is "if she was such a lousy employee, why was she given a promotion?" Bottom line was: Someone wanted to pass along the prob…

Are prescription drugs covered under your Drug and Alcohol policy? We have this incorporated into our policy. If an employee is taking any type of prescription medication, they must let us know and/or if the supervisor feels employee is impaired be…
-
I think because of the fact that the manager and supervisor were not properly dealt with because of their behavior, then you have no choice but to find another spot for her. You are looking squarely into the face of a lawsuit if you don't. As Don …

I have training that I put together in PowerPoint, but I also use a short tape from Kantola Productions (415)381-9363 or [url]www.kantola.com[/url]. This is a short film (less than 30 minutes) which has a lot of scenarios in it. I use it to supple…

Thanks for all of your excellent advice. I just wanted to vent a little bit. Unfortunately, I can't vent to Sr. Management because I am Sr. Management! I guess I went a little postal when my boss told me Friday that I needed to take 3 weeks of va…

Beagle's #3 is really a good one to use when you don't want to get into an extended conversation with the individual being terminated. Indeed, it is best not to start rehashing old things or going into details about the "why's". You can always say…

I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would allow children in the workplace unless it is an extreme circumstance. No matter how "good" they are, children still get bored and out of sorts and create disruption. That being said, if one …

Dean: It sounds like you might be in the banking industry. When I worked in banking, we did not make the teller (cashier) pay back the money, but if their cash didn't balance a certain number of times and the discrepancy could not be found, they w…

We publish a list every month and post on bulletin board (no years published). A few people have asked that we not put them on the list. Some of it has to be with the 40 and 50 year old age bashing parties which I am not fond of. I think if peopl…

No problem. This doesn't have anything to do with HIPAA.

This shows the danger of having only one employee trained to perform a function in a company. They can and will leave you in a lurch if the mood strikes them. IT should have no problem breaking into her files, but the training part will probably b…

I'd also install the camera. The #1 aim is to get to the bottom of the problem and who is planting the magazines and the tapes. If you tell her you are going to install the camera and the stuff stops popping up on her desk, you will never know if …

I guess I am leaning a little towards Ray's view. I do agree with a lot of the concepts of what George Carlin is trying to get across, but it is probably too inflamatory for the workplace. George Carlin has done some funny things, though - his rou…

If an exempt employee works any part of a workweek, they cannot be docked for any reason other than a major safety infraction. They are paid a salary for the job they do and not per day, or per hour. If you choose to treat them this way by docking…

When we have an employee who leaves and then returns, they start over as a new employee.

It's amazing how many people are touched by chronic illnesses now, family or employees. We lost an employee the first of the year with cancer - she had been terminated from a previous job after 12 years and was desperate to work. She lasted about …
