Welcome to the forum. You also need to familiarize yourself with the provisions of the Portal to Portal Act. The regs on travel time begin at 29 CFR 785.33. If you have more specific questions, put them up and no doubt someone can helppoint in the …

Similar experience. Several years ago I was directed to negotiate 4-10s into the cba. You'd think we were asking them to mutilate themselves every hour on the hour. Now, I know part of the plan was to bargain for some other stuff they wanted and th…

Is there no state law prohibiting what you suggest? Is 'basketball' betting ok in Ky Ks NC and In (ok not In this year). Will your policy of letting the ees bet on basketball change the statutory prohibition? If it's agin the law, you should absolut…

Don, thanks for supporting my position on sub conscious relay of significant information - and you have raised some very valid things which had not occurred to me (I admitted I was psychologically challenged). You open up my mind to a whole 'nother …

I've been away for a couple of days, but see that someone counted my yes vote. A final thought: if the dinner is an interview for prospective ee, why wouldn't the failure to cleanup the plate by using some method of 'finishing' the job, be indicativ…

The only, I say only, regret I have in my choice of life partners is she does'nt like biscuits, so I don't get them as often as I would prefer. Nothing beats soppin up gravy or almost anything else for that matter with a biscuit. And when you get it…

How 'bout using the soda straw from your soft drink to vacuum up the reluctant little rascals?

Welcome to the forum. If there were an emoticon with a salute, I'd salute, Sir! Sounds like a performance issue. Certainly this supervisor has a supervisor. How about some leadership training? Is he a knowleagble super who just ticks everyone else o…

Not only is it a vio of NLRA as others have stated - you have the whole constitutional first amendment right of the ee to talk to anyone he wants too about his wage. This is an absolute loser, and anyone who even mentions it in the context that ees …

whoa Don - hope that was arthroscopic and just a tear repair. Don't be lazy with the re hab. I've had both knees done and I can tell from experience, yu need to work the crap out of them starting real soon if you want them to fully recover. Best o…

Is there not a distinction here between represented by someone at/from the Co as opposed to being represented by a third party? If that is the difference I can understand the decision a bit. The same is true of individuals, you can represent yoursel…

If you want to keep working for this co. the short answer is yes. If they have to recruit on the basis of diversity, then so will you. That is, after all, the purpose of an affirmative action plan - and one of the distincitions between it and an equ…

Follow your policy. As Don said, this is an insensitive, careless remark. It is not a 'very serious' offense by any stretch of the imagination. Reprimand; train. While you're at it, I would be nearly as concerned with his remark about '..this not be…

Just curious about your 'for cause' language, if it does not provide for post accident. Is your cause just behavior, observation and odor? If so, why is post accident not part of 'cause' testing?
-
I have never heard a rational argument for not doing it. It gives you an additional reason to get folks tested, and there is a statistically greater probability that drug users will have accidents. I'd be interested in who and what 'combative argume…

Be careful you don't run afoul of the Emp Polygraph Protection Act. In Mi, empees enjoy greater protection than that aforded by the Fed act, so check your state regs as well.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-08-05 AT 07:00AM (CST)[/font][br][br]You absolutely can - and you should. You aremore likely to get into problems doing LOAs on an ad hoc basis than any other way. Adopt a policy, get input if you lik…

For most of us, perception is reality. In this case, the perception is that this is a real sweet heart deal - as you said, quid pro quo - that if it turns out badly, and as Don said, on your watch, you wil want to have been the one to be sure your …

Don raises a verygood point:who should do the investigation? If there is the slightest hint this could blow up into something serious - an EEOC complaint or lawsuit - I would always have the investigation done by an outsider. No hint of bias; no axe…

Anytime an er has reason to believe there has been sexual harassment, you must investigate. Her comment, no matter how you view it requires at hte least a preliminary look-in-too. Document what you find; document the other conversations with the em…

With the possible exceptions of a couple of tobacco raising states, you absolutely can prohibit smoking on premises - even on lunch break. I seem to recall it was an Ohio Co that was first, several years ago, to refuse to hire smokers and to requir…

I don't have any first hand experience with this area, but I would proceed very cautiously. I don't think you can ever use sub min w/o a labor DOL certificate. see 29 USC 519 and 520. I know there are legitimate unpaid interns, but I couldn't find t…

I must admit your post makes me a little more comfortable with your food product, especially given the recent discussion on 'mechanically separated' product. Not that I have ever given serious thought to not eating meat - when I left for the Air For…

But FMLA is unpaid, he has a work comp injury. What's to decide?

B man, best of luck, and keep thoses pennies - you may need them as you move on. We appreciate your advice and are willing to pay. Take good care!

As Hr says, I don't think the implementation will be your problem so much as the administration. As long as you can articulate a reasonable business interest for the regulation, that should suffice. I suspect the rule will be more difficult to word …

Well, you sure know howto get people looking at your post! I hadn't hought of toe jam in 30 years. I kind of like your thoughts, but suspect you will quickly get to Maarc's view once you broach the subject. Your perspective gets youinto thetopic wit…

I appreciate the tip - and may take a look - but generally free advice, particularly free legal advice, is worth just what you pay for it. Glad you are back towork soearly this morning!

Don and timcoleen - Ithink I had a senior moment, yes, that's it a senior moment. I should have said an absence for personal reasons greater than a day are deductible if absence is for personal reasons, and absences greater than a day if for sickne…
