I don't see anything wrong with giving an employee a ride if it is convenient for you to do so (on your way home, etc).

We have this same issue, especially with one department who has a high percentage of smokers. They leave enmasse to take smoke breaks. One day half of their staff was in a meeting and the other staff went "on break" which left the department unman…

Why on earth would they call YOU if they can't get in touch with the employee? I would advise them not to call me again, under any circumstances. If they do, ask to speak to their immediate supervisor. I would advise that you consider these haras…

We recently had a case in one of our office where an employee was one of several collecting money from patients. Several hundred dollars went missing and all suspicions, of course, pointed to her. Even though everyone felt this person truly did ste…

I would consult with legal counsel on this, but you probably would not be able to fire her. Everyone of us would probably shudder if we knew who was preparing our food in restaurants and the diseases that are out there. There are precautions that e…

I long for the day when women quit being "fashion slaves" especially in the workplace. Better to adopt a simple, professional wardrobe for work (jacket, slacks, skirt, reasonable shoes) in neutral, mix and match colors and leave it at that. Save t…

All of our Sr. Management Team has a bonus incentive whereby we can receive up to 10% of our salary as a bonus. This is based on how well the organization does as a whole, plus if we meet our established goals. I set goals every year such as lower…

I applaud employers who are able to be as flexible and accomodating as Anne's employers apparently were. However, as someone mentioned, there is the "attitude" type of employee who has the "attorney in retainer" that you want to push over the edge …

No, this is not a valid ID for an I-9. All of the acceptable documents are listed on the back of the I-9 form.

There is no legal obligation for an employer to accept a rescinded resignation. Some employers make the mistake of taking back a "problem child" such as this when they are short staffed. Sounds like you started immediately to address this issue. …

There is absolutely no violation of HIPAA to send a simple get well card. I agree that you are going to catch a lot more hell for not acknowledging an employee being out, etc. If I know of an employee who has been out, especially on an extended il…

Most definitely put her back on hourly, not salaried. If she is the type of keep a journal, the first thing she will do is state that you put her on salary to avoid paying her overtime. I am sure she will have all the "early" hours she claims to b…

An opposing attorney can ask for anything, but I would not give out any information unless I had a subpoena and legal advice. I suspect he is asking for this additional information in order to prove/disprove that the employee took a cut to avoid pa…

Hi! Even though you are a small company,anything you can do to cut down on your administrative work, you can spend on more productive issues. We are a 300 employee medical practice, but have 5 locations. It is amazing how much paperwork can co…

All valid comments. I, too, get a little anxious when you talk about bouncing a person back and forth between salaried and hourly. I don't know of any case where a bona fide "secretary" would be considered a salaried position. You may want to ret…

Employees frequently throw around the term "harassment" when it simply means an unpleasant working environment. My understanding of the term "hostile work environment" within the context of the legal meaning is that some aspect of Title VII has to …

Beagle: It's the same in healthcare. If someone doesn't show up for their shift or is late, it is imperative that an employee stay until their replacement shows up. Generally, people understand this when they go into health care and have continge…

If you got her resignation in writing, you are on fairly safe ground. You accepted the resignation in good faith...and went about securing a replacement...the employee changed her mind, but that does not obligate you to accept the fact that she now…

Believe me, this is trouble waiting to happen. We are a medical facility and there is lots of room for cavorting among the employees, supervisors and physicians. We put in a non-frat policy that no supervisor may have a relationship with anyone th…

Requiring direct deposit will put an end to a lot of this. I would simply not do it any longer unless there was an emergency and then it had to be approved by the department manager. You are buying yourself a lot of hassles otherwise. We don't al…

If the perception/reality is that the director is dumping work on her employees in order to leave early,then there is a problem with performance of the director. But....also, take a look at time utilization. Some people work when they are at work…

There are a lot of companies that allow these capri pants in their workplace. Personally, I feel like I am going to a clambake when I see people parading around in them at work. I cannot see a conservative atmosphere like a bank allowing anything …

I'd be tempted to send them an invoice just to "rattle their cage". I have run into this problem several times lately with no shows where we have stopped the recruiting process and waited on these people to work a notice. It puts our recruiting be…

My personal opinion is not to document anything "after the fact". If you have proven your case in connection with the gross negligence that cost the company the amount of money you said, then you had plenty of reason to terminate him solely on this…

We don't have a cafeteria, so employees often meet their former friends for lunch outside the premises. We did have a problem with some employees bringing former employees as "guests" to our annual Christmas party. A lot of people felt very uncomf…

I, too, often feel overwhelmed, especially this week. I am on jury duty in criminal court. I was at a meeting at work yesterday morning at 7 AM and was in court until 9PM. I still am not finished! Anyway....listening to other people's problems pu…

The only employee committee we have is what we call a "Customer Care Team" which stays strictly involved in our customer/patient care issues such as how to handle complaints from patients, how to deal more effectively with the workflow, they also pu…
