The website below is for the MIT Business Continuity Management Team. They have templates you can use to develop your own Disaster Recovery Plan. I used it several years ago and found it to be easy to use and it helps to create a very solid docume…

[quote=NaeNae55;716688]What about having laws against suicide? Isn't that an infringement on personal liberties? I am sure we have many levels of such infringement; it comes down to how far is too far. Sooner or later someone will sue about this.…

Kind of makes you wonder what their next step might be. Maybe they'd require employees to swear off cake, cookies, and Hershey bars. Instead of metal detectors at the doors, will they have chocolate detectors or, in Humana's case, smoker detectors?…

[quote=cnghr;716674]People aren't even hospitalized that long for fairly major surgery anymore![/quote] True. Even when you have a baby, they kick you out in less than 48 hours. Frank, maybe there is something more to her condition than meets the…

Over the years, and particularly as an HR Director, I've experienced everything from employees who have practically crawling into my office in tears to those who have stormed into the room in a tirade. I've learned that, for the most part, they just…

We had one of those broken restroom days also. I can remember shuttling associates to and from the McDonald's down he street. We allowed associates to drive themselves to the nearest facilities if they preferred and most were very cooperative and …

Very true.

[quote=Paul in Cannon Beach;716578]No wonder I am always misunderstood on this forum. You are all FINANCEY people disguised as compassionate HR types like me. Lightbulb.[/quote] Paul, If it's any consolation, I started out as a graphic designe…

HR was added to the other duties I already had such as facility maintenance, janitorial and vending, safety and security, loss prevention and business continuity, purchasing, real estate acquisition and construction/renovation, space planning, and m…

Frank, Are you sure this whole magilla isn't kharma? (Yours not hers.) I mean, you're due some sort of a bop on the head at some point simply for the "blond" reference. O:) Sharon

Frank, Frank, Frank. What are we going to do with you?

Paul, Thanks for the clarification. It certainly puts the issue in a different light. If you have budget for it, providing inexpensive watches with your logo on them could be a good gesture and good advertising. Just a thought. Sharon

Paul, Rather than banning cell phones, I would address this from a performance perspective. Excessive use cuts into performance, etc. Texting too much can be addressed the same way as talking too much while working. It's distracting to co-workers, …

You are all wonderful!! Sharon

To 1945599, I remember reading something recently about paid FMLA for federal employees only. Could this be what you're thinking of? Sharon

Frank, You're absolutely correct. I probably wouldn't jump up on that soap box nearly as often if I'd just wash my contacts more frequently. Sharon

[quote=DavidS;716323]By this reasoning, it follows that : good for employee = bad for HR. That may be true if you practice HR from an administrative perspective (what is easy to administer and won't cause a lot of work for HR). But, it is not true…

We've also heard about the possibility of another delay, but can't confirm it either. Sharon

I have to say, this is a new one on me. Just goes to show, the longer you live the more you learn. Sharon :-O

I've found it's a great way to get back in touch with former coworkers that I thought I'd never hear from again. It's nice to be able to reconnect. Sharon

Overeating, smoking, drinking, etc, can be, and often is, a direct result of stress. For many people the most stressful part of their lives is work. I’m all for a healthier way of life and I think that includes a healthier workplace – with less str…

That secret will go to the great beyond with me. O:)

The other half is a secret.

I believe the courts will have to settle this one. In the meantime, imagine the NLRB picketing the NLRB! ::pb&J::::pb&J::

Good advice, except that aggravating Frank is half the fun of coming to work every day.

Maybe the other 75% just really like those cherry limeades! SharonO:)
-
Not sure what you mean, Frank. Please explain. Sharon
-
Cherry Limeade! H-m-m-m Yum!

I'd hang on to that letter because you may need it someday. Item #2 clearly states that it applies to full days. Also, a good rule of thumb: when in doubt, check with a qualified employment law attorney before taking action. Sharon
