I guess I'm surprised that officers of the company would make such remarks and allow an obviously sick employee to continue working to the deteriment of others. If she is obviously sick, she should be sent home until she is better. Given the attit…

The "boy" has been duly chastized and warned. We'll see if we have a part two in this soap opera.

We have used PTO for some time. The biggest "pro" is there is no sick leave bank to abuse. If they abuse PTO and run out of time, their attendance is adversely affected. We give four unscheduled call offs per year and on the 5th call off, an extr…

The statement "they feel this pregnant employee is the least productive" somehow says it all. Putting yourself in the jury pool - if there is no other documentation other than the fact that she is pregnant, the company is staring straight into a dis…

Anything that puts out a strong fragrance should be banned from the office. If there is an odor problem, there are several sprays on the market that can be used to eliminate odors without using a fragrance. We, also, have had multiple problems wi…

Scott: First of all, don't panic. In the course of your career, you will receive more than one of these, I will assure you. Most of them have absolutely no merit. First of all, it costs the employee nothing to file one of these complaints wheth…

Number One: I think you now see the need to have a clear-cut bereavement policy. I agree that the employee probably did not handle this in the best manner possible, the worst offense being not leaving a number where she could be contacted. It app…

You are just as liable for the outside contractor as you are for an employee's actions. Was the "pincher" also a minor or was he an adult? If he was an adult and put his hand on a minor, there may be a legal issue here. If all of them are minors,…

Hey Don! Thanks for your "tactful" description of me, but you give me wayyyyy too much credit. To answer Pork, I guess I addressed the question from the perspective of if it had been addressed to me at an open Forum meeting. My boss (the CEO) m…

I believe just what you said would be very tactful. "I don't believe it would be appropriate for me to comment on another employee's salary or position. I am bound to honor that person's privacy the same as I would honor yours if such a question…

I would just advise employees that they need to focus on work, and not on other employees' personal business. Even though they don't "like" something, that does not give them the right to harass anyone at work.

Always a tough one. When I have had to do something like this, I have everything in place (severance agreement, etc.). I try to wait until the end of the day or as late as possible. It's best to be as honest and direct as possible. Jim, I called…

The only time I have seen anything like this successfully argued and defended was the requirement that men were not allowed to wear earrings at work. Since a lot of men wear earrings these days, the company had to allow the men to wear the rings or…

No...I have to beg to differ about lawyers being the worst. Doctors have to be the worst! They think they are God to begin with and no one should question their will. I have heard comments like: We have too many fat white women working here alre…

I believe that your assumption was correct that she was not planning on returning as the evidence (cleaning out office, erasing files from the computer, etc.) bears out. However, I believe I would have approached it from this front "Sally, I tried …

I've had just a few like this....most of them drown you out with cologne. I guess they are trying to cover up the BO! I guess if you turn green and gag into your trash can, they will get the message.

I wouldn't charge anyone for an accident or something that happens in the normal course of doing business. If, in the case of "shredder lady", she does this again, I would make sure she would be subject to disciplinary action. I would make sure …

Another thing to think about. You can bet your bottom dollar that if one of the men that she greets so heartily gets a little carried away at the perceived (or unperceived) signals that she is sending out, SHE will be the first one to scream sexual…

We cover this in our Employee Handbook under "Employee Relations" "As an employee of XYZ Corporation, it is expected that you will conduct yourself in a professional manner, not only towards patients and their families,but also towards each other" …

The first one just sounds like an allergic reaction to working overtime period. It also sounds like they set their own hours. Companies are not bound to honor employee preferences. Employees work for the company, not the other way around. Compan…

I report to the CEO, but I am also considered a member of the Sr. Management Team. Each member of our Sr. Management team has a weekly meeting set up with the CEO. Mine happens to be at 7AM on Thursday morning. Since we are both early birds, we a…

Totally NOT true. South Carolina abides by HIPPA rules and regulations as does any other state. In addition, pregnancy, itself, could not be singled out as a "pre-existing" condition - this would have to apply to other conditions as well. If ther…

Lara: This being the case, I would submit my resignation today. You are fighting a losing battle with someone who doesn't give a rip about you or the company. He is running things like a sweat shop. The unhappiness you are experiencing is not w…

It sounds like you are under major stress and this is not a very good situation for you to be in. I see two choices: (1) Approach your manager and tell him just what you have told us. This is not what you "hired on" to do - that you made it perf…

You really should invest a couple of hours time with an attorney as you probably have a very good case. The company was, essentially, asking you to embrace the hiring and retaining of illegals in your workforce. Smart thing to keep copies of email…

I don't think you would be legally obligated to provide these back W-2s to any employee. Once you have given them the information, it is their responsiblity to retain them. What about getting a copy of them off her previous tax returns? An indivi…

I am a firm believer that payroll should process what is given to them and not chase people down to get information. It only take a couple of times for supervisors to be in the hot seat with their employees before they come around and start doing t…
