I think on these type things, it's best to keep it strictly professional and to the point. "I'm sorry to announce that Joe's father passed away yesterday. Please keep Joe and his family in your thoughts. If you would like to send a card,please fo…

Sounds like something the unemployment yahoos in South Carolina would say! I had a case where an employee was terminated for falsifying insurance documents and claim information for lost time. She had no lost time - and she used another employee's …

Personally, I am a clothes horse and I like to dress up and look nice. It makes me feel good about me. (Yu will never catch me in the grocery store on weekends with curlers in my hair and no makeup). I would be very uncomfortable if I came to work …

If you have your ducks in a row concerning his actual return date, you have that portion covered. If he was hospitalized, he would probably qualify for FMLA (depending on why). If he was in jail for DUI,which I suspect is the case,I would not hesi…

OOPS - One other thing I forgot. You can always state that if you receive anything else of this nature through the US Mail, that you will turn it over to the PostMaster General for investigation.

Several ways you can approach this: You can ignore it and the gossipers can go on to someone else If your company is small, this can be brought up in a group setting that someone is sending harassing mail to an employee's home address and if it i…

Nina: I can tell you, there are not a lot of them...but I am fortunate to be in one finally. I report directly to the CEO who values Human Resources very much. I am a part of the management team on the same level with the CFO and COO. I am recog…

Deeze: This is the danger when HR is not seen as an integral part of the organization or more specifically, part of the managment team. If this group doesn't follow your advice and value your expertise, then you are basically powerless to do your …

I agree with Don. It should be called "Bereavement Leave" It's not worth the effort to try to second guess people and their motives when it comes to grieving. I believe people get out of life what they put into it and somewhere down the line, the…

Due to the abusive nature of this employee, I would not give him any signed statements from any employee. I would simply say it had been reported to you that he had conducted himself in such and such a manner and that you had conducted an investiga…

I don't advocate special treatment for people with children unless you are willing to extend this to employees who have other issues such as sick parents, etc. We have untold issues with employees who want us to solve their child care problems from…

Sounds to me like their shorter work day is causing them to have a compression of transactions, thus their "busyiness". They may need to lengthen their work day to 8 hours like the other branches. When I worked in banking, there were naturally b…

I was in this situation once and we cashed out the sick leave over a three year period in three equal installments. I don't know if your state law would allow you to cash in "2 for 1" or something like that. I know that our state government is the…

I agree with Crout. Most marketing people are classified as exempt under the professional exemption unless they are something like "Marketing Assistant" which is a glorified secretary in most cases.

You have to be very careful if you are offering a severance to someone in a protected age group. They must be given 21 days to consider the agreement and then another 7 days after they sign the agreement. If they are not in a protected group, th…

I don't know of any law that would make it mandatory to have a written resignation. If the person verbally resigned, the employer accepted the resignation, then I would let it stand if I chose not to have the person return.

Meg: HIPAA doesn't have anything to do with setting changes in notification of status, etc. This is set by your insurer. I have never heard of an employee being given 60 days to put a newborn on a plan. I think perhaps they may be thinking about…

You should address the inappropriate internet and email useage the same as you would any non-pregnant,non temporarily disabled employee. You should also address her uncooperativeness and inappropriate behavior towards the person who will be filling …

Most of our exempt people who were planning not to return to work would just state they would be at a seminar at such and such a date and would not be back until the following day. Chances are, they would have to work over on the day they returned …

deez: Punching a clock will be no different than tracking hours manually. Number of hours is still going to be tracked regardless. It doesn't matter what your finance person "insists" is the reason. When the DOL comes knocking in response to a c…

In our practice, Certain levels of our employees (Sr. Managers and some high level clinical people) get extra vacation days (and other perks) over and above the published number of days. If this occurs, I usually just put this addendum in their let…

Number One: I don't put much credence in an anonymous call from a former girlfriend, etc., as they usually have an axe to grind and are merely trying to get the employee in trouble. I've had this happen before where an irate husband called me and …

Congrats on your good news! As with the other posts, I agree a lot has to do with company policy. On hard to fill positions, the search will start right away. If the company is lucky enough to find someone fairly quickly, then your time may be cu…

Shingles can be very severe and very painful. Basically, the virus attacks the nerve endings, but can attack organs. In the case of David Letterman, the virus settled in his eye and that's what's caused his major problem. Average time out would …

This happened to me one time. We hired a very qualified candidate and they gave notice on their job. One of our doctors had worked with this person in another life and decided he did not want that person working at our practice. He wanted me to…
