[quote=MWheat;723164]I agree that if you do not follow your policy 100% of the time then the policy obsolete. The problem with not being consistent is it is lawsuit material just waiting. If you do it for one you have to do it for all. The policies …

[quote=sanrog;723160]I've noticed a trend of supervisors giving employees time off without pay. The reasons for the requests are not medical in nature (I want to visit my dad, I want to go camping, etc.). All of these employees have vacation time w…

[quote=jbroussard;723168]I think this is probably a "preference" rather than a law, but I said I would contact you. Our receptionist wants to know if she can ask our Hispanic applicants to speak English when they are in the reception room waiting t…

Does the severance include company paid insurance benefits? Sharon

Aklous, I see this was your first post. Welcome to the Forum! :welcome: Sharon

CNGHR is correct. You can get state and federal posters for free from the sates and federal DOL web sites. But, you have to be very diligent about checking those sites regularly to make sure you find out when posters are updated, replaced, etc. Some…

Love the "Twilight Phone." Thanks, Nae

I think you have a performance issue with the manager as well. He altered an official company document to suit his own purposes and, in the process, increased liability for the company, not to mention that he may also have damaged the company's re…

[quote=mdodge;723071]I have been doing some research can't seem to find a clear answer. We have an employee that was hired at a higher salary than most at this starting position, due to her "experience" the former HR did not check referances. Need…

Hi! The revised policy has been finalized and is now available on both HRHero and HRLaws. Sharon

Good news! Our revised social media policy is now available on both HRHero and HRLaws. Sharon

I love the last one. Made me LOL. Thanks, Nae. You've done it again. Hope you have the best ever weekend! Sharon

[quote=Sharon McKnight SPHR;722996]jmGray We're in the process of updating our policy. As soon as it's finished, we'll post it on HRHero and HRLaws. Sharon PS: Should be by the end of the week.[/quote] A short update: We're still in the revie…

[quote=Sharon McKnight SPHR;722971]Jami, Your first post! Welcome to the forum. Also, thanks for the reminder that we need to update our social media policy. We'll review and should have an updated policy on both HRHero and HRLaws by the end of th…

I agree with Paul. The only thing I would add is to be sure and appropriately document that conversation. Sharon

[quote=jami;722968]With all due respect to the work that goes into this site, I reviewed (and was attempting to use) the Social Media Policy recommended on this site for our handbook revision. Unfortunately, the policy on this site has not been rev…

Loved it!!

[quote=ACU Frank;722933]Her post-termination interview with Fortune will hurt her a lot more than the e-mail. In fact, it's already been cited as a possible violation of her "non-disparagement" clause and could cost her $10 mil.[/quote] Double OU…

Here's an interesting take on what motivates an employer to hire -- or not hire. [URL]http://boss.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/07/why-im-still-reluctant-to-hire/?hp[/URL] Sharon

Just read an article on the Washington Post about Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz. Seems she was fired today by phone. Her response? An email to the entire company telling them exactly what happened. I guess they underestimated her in at least one respect. …

Can you imagine what either of those two "adults" would do to an employer. Shortly after their first performance review, they decide they don't like receiving constructive criticism and sue the employer for not being nice to them. Even worse is the …

[quote=bragaw;722863]ACU Frank: The applicant asked for our privacy policy so he would have some assurances that we would not, for example, post his transcripts on the internet. What would prevent us from doing that without a privacy policy? Shar…

[quote=bethk;722859]Our application does not have this either. Where on this site can we access the forms? Thanks[/quote] The forms are behind the password on HRHero. In the menu listed on the left, look for HR Compliance Resources. The first lis…

I'm with Frank on this one. I'd get all resignations in writing. If the ee doesn't want to put it in writing, I'd send a registered letter confirming the resignation, last day of work, etc. Once an offer has been made to a replacement, most likely …

I agree with the others and would only add that if he's in a protected class your risk factor increases. Sharon

I think you're right on target but I would want something in writing. I'd send a registered letter to the employee formally accepting her resignation, indicating her last day of employment is xxx, and acknowledging that the date coincides with the e…

Paul, The eyes look pretty okay to me, but is that little grin just an eensy bit smirky? Sharon
