Hi Pork! We got some rain last week, but we are in a five year drought with our rivers drying up. My brother's pontoon boat is sitting on sand and has been for weeks! Anyway...back to HR. You are so lucky to have someone working for you like y…

You should have a separate cell phone policy that prohibits using cell phones while driving. Ask Smith-Barney about this. They had to pay out a multi-million dollar lawsuit to a family who had a relative killed by a Smith-Barney employee who was u…

Yeah Don, I agree. Yesterday the payroll person came to me and said she has an employee dispute an electronically punched time record that can only be accessed by her badge. She was trying to say that she was working when the clock said she had …

Gillian: What's to keep an employee from deliberately not taking their breaks and/or lunches to get paid extra for it? Is this just addressed strictly through disciplinary procedures? Also, is there an electronic time clock in order to see if the…

Please do! I need some help!

We have an after Xmas Christmas Party the last Saturday in January so that everyone can have time to enjoy themselves. January is typically a slower month than December and people usually have too much to do during the holiday season to enjoy yet a…

Dear GAWWWWD! I think we all have been working too hard!

Hey Jocelyn! Wait until you have to deal with the person whose scrubs no longer cover their midsection!

Yeah Don. I believe the message is being sent to today's young workers that anything goes. I came up in a very conservative environment - law and banking. I know if I had ever shown up for work dressed the way some of the people in business today…

Number One: I don't think there is much that anyone coming up these days is embarassed about any more; but.... If this is an issue that creates a distraction in the workplace, I would just advise the "youngsters" that this is not professional and …

This used to be common policy with companies "way back when" before the NLRB got involved. On this front, I would certainly have this policy taken out of the handbook This employee got her hands on information through the error of others; if she wa…

I definitely agree with Don. This guy has all the earmarks of a stalker. If it didn't bother the employee, she would not have brought it up. I would first bring him in and tell him to cease and desist immediately with his behavior and any more …

Pork: I have the guide and it is very useful. Always a good idea to get everything in writing from employees. They always claim amnesia when things don't go their way. Thanks for your help and good luck with the dawgs!

So, Pork, are you saying the employee continues to accrue vacation time per pay period as if he were still with us? It is our policy not to allow employees on leave to accrue PTO time, but I know this law is very stringent and I sure don't want to …

Hi Jen! Yes, you can fax to me at (803) 376-2870 or you can email at [email]hr@scheart.com[/email]. Thanks for your help. Very informative.

I am sure if there was a law to provide couches for "ladies", the men would be screaming for equal couch treatment. No, there is no such law.

Amen Don! I would be wary of taking on any HR responsibilities in this company without a contract!!! Anyway...back to the bereavement policy. We give up to three days paid leave period for employees to take care of arrangements, funerals, etc. …

Hey Don: I knew I could depend on you for a great retort! I have a million stories about the docs that are just as crazy. And you people didn't choose me to be stranded with on a desert island! HAH!

Lois: We have three stories in our building. The female works on the 2nd floor and the male on the first floor (Quicker getaway). Thank God, this is not a supervisory type thing. I did counsel both of them yesterday and the female stated that s…

AbSOlutely!

In our medical facility, our office personnel generally wear the types of shoes they desire, closed toe, open toe and in one case recently, I found an Accounts Payable Clerk running down the hall in no shoes. (That was a bit much!). Anyway...in th…

We do post positions internally by posting on our bulletin board and sending via email. There are pros and cons to this. Pros are we give employees an opportunity to know about job openings and promotion opportunities.The biggest con is that emplo…

I agree with Dragon Lady. I don't do phone references. You don't know who you are talking to. People do weird things to try to get information about people nowdays. If they send a faxed request, we give minimal information. Just dates of hire an…

DITTO Don! I think this should be a personal thing. I know everytime I see programs about 9/11, I can mad and then I get depressed about how our world has changed and what an absolute waste of young, wonderful talented people who had famlies that …
-
Since you had already told this employee your feelings on holding a rummage sale and the confidentiality problems you were concerned with causing your clients, I feel she breached your trust and the trust of your clients. I believe this would be gr…

Paul, I haven't heard of anyone being held liable for serving alcohol at company events. Otherwise, you could have more CEOs locked up than Enron and WorldCom combined! I think it's the fact of what happens afterwards. I believe a lot of this c…
-
According to my legal advisor, if you allow any alcohol at a company function, in any form, limitation, etc. the company is liable. Hotels (the ones that we have used) will not assume responsibility for policing the drink tickets, etc. The manage…
-
Nothing you do will absolve you of liability in a case like this. If you issue tickets, those who don't drink will take the tickets and give them to their buddies. As with everything else, people will find a way to do what they want to regardless …

It probably falls under the Age Discrimiation in Employment Act (ADEA). If a person is over 40 years of age, they should be given 21 days to consider the severance package and then 7 additional days after they sign the agreement to retract. Con…

If you are like me, if you kept applications for five years, you would have to rent a warehouse to file them! From what I have been able to find out, you can choose to accept unsolicited resumes or not. We choose to accept only resumes for posted …
