Don - No one dares to challenge me! (Just kidding) No, I got documentation from the "firing" company which surprised the heck out of me that they would give it. (It was actually a copy of a signed agreement where she agreed to make restitution fo…

OOPS, sorry. I am referring to an application. Linda is absolutely right that a resume is not a binding legal document. We do not hire without a completed application for this reason. This also gives us permission to check references, etc. A re…

I have found that usually, when someone leaves something off a resume, it is for a very good reason - usually termination for cause. A "lie of ommission" is the same thing as falsification of a resume and this is grounds for termination according t…

Yeah,but WOCO, you would have provisions for the shop people to have use of a restroom other than using the one in the office, correct?

If your CEO is that anti-jeans, he should just say "no jeans" to anyone. That would be a fairer "rule" than no bathroom for those wearing jeans in air-conditioned areas. I agree with the other posts. You need either a "guidebook" or some type of …

I've not heard of any religion that precludes wearing deodorant, but I am sure there must be. Someone told me if you have an employee who is allergic to deodorant or for whatever reason, does not want to wear it, etc., they can rub under their ar…

From someone working in a medical faciity and the lengths we are going to be required to go to to protect privacy,I would not issue anything about an employee's medical condition. If they want people to know, they should let the appropriate people …

As with the other posts, I don't think you can make her take her message off her computer if you allow others to put anything they wish on their screens. It doesn't appear that this has bothered anyone so far and as long as she doesn't take it a st…

If it was me, I'd just box it up and mail it to the employee with the notation that several employees have found this offensive and you feel it serves no purpose in the workplace except as a distraction.

Our practice is to not accept unsolicited resumes. This is put in our newspaper ad as well as displayed at our receptionist desk. We only accept applications for posted, available positions. If I receive an unsolicited resume, it is shredded. It…

Without knowing more of the facts, it's hard to make an assessment. What appears on the surface is either they are documenting that this particular matter has been resolved...or on the other hand, if the person who was your harasser has any say in …

I don't believe you have a choice given this involves children. There is zero tolerance in the legal arena when it comes to anything construed as "inappropriate" with children. You are right to be concerned about being sued.

We have a receptionist on our first floor that is "oh, so proper". Very nice lady, expects professionalism and hates tacky dressers. Before an applicant can even get up the elevator to my third floor office,she has already called me with her asses…

Before I would add 4 hours to my work day, I would look for another position. It sounds like what may have happened is that someone offered you this without checking with someone else first. The "someone else" probably said "This will never fly wi…

Good advice to sit down and talk with the boss. I'd just say I was concerned that this meeting that involved me and my work schedule was held without me and I'd like to know if this arrangement that had been agreed upon was still acceptable. You n…

What about people who still use the ever popular "subordinate" to refer to their employees. Still can figure out where THAT one came from!
-
Of course, I found out there is "more" to this story than what the employee told me. There is a rotating schedule in the department because someone has to be there until 5PM. I found out that he only has to be there until 5 PM one day a week and h…

All good responses as I knew they would be. There is a rotating schedule for this lab and I have since found that they would be willing to work with him one day a week for leaving early, but he would need to make arrangements to work himself into t…

The knee jerk reaction to a divorce is to cut everything off to the offending party as possible (maybe that's a BAD choice of words). Anyway, we had a female employee who wanted to drop her spouse from coverage as soon as they separated. He was on…

According to our Privacy Officer, if an employee requests that employees be informed of private medical information by email (or any other route), they should sign a "release" that it's okay for you to disseminate this information. Otherwise, when …

Would you like violets or daisies on that bucket, son? Hell...I'll even throw in some of that there scented body lotion for that pesky, scaly alligator skin you guys hate so much! As you can tell, this is the end of a long, stressful week and I …

Yeah Don. I did stretch the truth a bit on this, but I just couldn't think of another "agony" a man might have! (Except the one he might have if he caught his wife wrong in a PMS moment!)

I agree these machines are a big pain to stock and keep repaired. Haven't heard anything about "toxic shock" complaints. I thought the offending products that supposedly caused this were withdrawn from the market. Most people keep their own produ…

Hearing voices and seeing things that don't exist is a sign of severe mental illness. Even though his work has not suffered as of yet, you never know when this psychosis might manifest itself in other ways, i.e, targeting employees, becoming violen…

I once worked for a Catholic hospital, but we were a very diverse workforce. In our orientation, there was even a service called the "blessing of the hands" which was held in a chapel built on site at the hospital. We did have some indivduals who…

It never ceases to amaze me - the degree of stupidity of some people. Not enough to lie....they have to come back and "brag" about it. In our organization, the employee would be terminated for this...but, we aren't union, so I couldn't comment on …
