This hits sort of close to home. My ex-husband and I met at work. We worked in separate departments and I can honestly say we caused no disruption in the workplace. Everyone knew (bosses included) that we were dating, no one made a big deal of it, n…

"What if she suddenly has an FMLA qualifying event while on vacation?" See original post (edit) FMLA won't fly on this one, we do not have to comply (1 ee short of 50)

"What I cannot understand is why you would let her go on vacation and then count on her turning in a resignation. I say terminate her immediately, pay her for the week of vacation and then two weeks of notice. That will end her insurance and perhaps…

Hey now Ray, you trying to get me in trouble with The Don? That's just not nice, watch out for your Karma #-o scorpio p.s. ESPN is not found on television!!! At least not the kind I am referring to.

Update :-) Well, the COO actually was the person who forwarded me this ee e-mail complaining about her "poor treatment". I spoke with him last night, I explained the issue's we have had, the suspension without pay she had previsouly been given, etc.…

I am with the "terminate him for job abandonment" crew. If he was well enough to type out an e-mail, he was well enough to call his Manager. scorpio

O.K. Marc, some answers- No, the competition does not usually pay more. They have lost 4 transcriptionists in the last month alone. They are promising ridiculous incentives to get people to go work for them. As for the pay structure in this departme…

"There's no glory in walking into this type of battle alone. Call your labor attorney." Well now, I usually agree with The Don's position, this time I just cannot. Mediation is so employer's DO NOT have to pay out huge attorney fee's. My experience…

I went to mediation on an EEOC complaint a few months back. I discussed the complaint with my Board of Directors, and no, we did not consult our attorney. Past experience showed he would have went for the trial (how else would he make money?). I wen…

Hey now, it will get better???? Well, it sounded good anyway. I was venting along the same lines this past weekend. Oh, woe is me. I was reminded that 1. I should NOT take myself too seriously and 2. It comes with the territory! Did it make me feel …

We do not allow smoking in our buildings or company vehicles. Not only would I not want to have to monitor whether or not ee's were smoking in their own cars during business hours, but, I doubt I could keep a straight face if I had to tell them they…

"I do feel for you though - this kind of situation is a time-waster and better suited for a kindergarten class. It is Friday though -" AMEN Sunny :-) my thoughts exactly! xclap scorpio

Excuse me, I thought there is no law that states ee, management or whomever cannot discuss salary amongst themselves? Furthermore, I was under the impression that even if this does happen, they cannot be discpilined or chastised over it. educate me!…

1. I would tell your ee that you are sorry for their financial dilemna but, maybe it is time to move on. 2. I also do not do letters of recommendation from the company, it is not our policy-However, if it is an ee I valued for their good work, I wil…

Yikes, EEOC gives me the hives. I just went through a mediation with them 2 months back. We won and I have the terminology in the settlement they sent me, I can share it with you (leave out names etc) if you like-Then, take it to a lawyer!

Well now, after reading this last post, I am thinking that the author has never come up against the "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde new ee syndrome"- You get a new employee, for the 1st 90 days they show up on time, their kids are NEVER sick, their car NEVE…

"In the service we used to call newbies FNGs, but I won't be the one to explain the acronym." Well, thankyouverymuch Beagle#-o I think I know what it means, but, where is The Don? I bet he would put that acronym out there in a way that would not ca…

"Eventually, humankind will figure out another term for this test period, but until then, we need to call it something!" Thank you for your help forumites! I am thinking maybe "newbie...watch out!!!" is what I shall settle on (a little humor). scor…

"Guess I do have to let it go but in light of the circumstances it is a very hard pill for me to swallow. Thanks for your responses" I know how you feel! See post "Its a dooozziiee" or something like that- It is hard when we have to bow or look the…

Dasher, Thank you, I was just trying to do my job) As it turns out the bonus memo went out yesterday, the ee's are happy and the people who did not get the bonus are shutting up-Must have been all my prayers that did the trick, normally they LINE U…

Dean, I responded to your post regarding the seminar, it is in "Employer's Forum". See you in Atlanta! scorpio

"I have read several of your posts and it appears to me that you have a culture ingrained in your senior management that needs to change from within. You have to be the catalyst for this change. " Amen!!! I have drafted the memo to the ee's regardi…

"What a shame!" Absolutely, my thoughts in a nutshell. This whole situation is a mess and has certainly pointed out an already obvious situation with my co-managers. They want a body in a chair, they want it NOW and no amount of policy and procedur…

I spoke with the supervisor. She states another doc in our practice said this woman was o.k. No, she is in no minority group.As for the supervisor, we are in the process of replacing her (slowly, slowly) It is difficult to find competent people to r…

Ray, I am letting her go because that is what the owners want.I told the doc's any severance pay was a bad plan as it would set precedent and be something I have to fight with the ee's about, they do all talk.
-
Well, she was working in the same capacity (Rad Tech Aide) at the previous jobs my doc's knew her from. They feel she cannot do the work they will require based on her past performance at other facilities.

"When you do it, keep a copy of the coding somewhere, because pictures sometimes disappear from profiles, like mine." and mine, the forum gremlins steal your picture and do NOT return it :-) James has had to send me my link twice now, I think he wi…

Sam, How's this for a giggle? We were going to close our offices Monday due to Hurricane Ivan-When the powers that be decided on Sunday that we could be open, we called the employee's in to work. Yesterday and today I have been fielding call's from …
