I would not allow someone to "Volunteer" doing work they were formerly paid for. I would say, thanks, but no thanks. If he persists in coming, do you have security who can stop him? We have issued letters to former employees telling them they are no…

I don't think recognizing someone as an outstanding employee prevents you from disciplining up to termination for actions that come later. We have an employee working here that was employee of the year two years ago. Now we have substantiated allega…

We have supervisors, managers, directors, associate administrators and administrator.

Will you refuse to hire people with visible tatoos? Will you tell them you won't hire because of that? If a person has religious tatoos and you refuse to hire them because of it, will you be practicing religious discrimination?

I work for the state, and we have a policy that allows employees to donate leave to a crisis pool, and those who need it apply and provide medical justification. Because we can roll our leave over, some employees have 2,000 or more hours and can aff…

I would tell her that as a PRN she is not guaranteed any hours and that if you find a FT person to replace her she will not have any hours. She is trying to work the system, and I would discourage it.

You may have to "force him." Tell him he must take off so many days before a certain time (late November, for example) and if he doesn't schedule them by July 1 you will schedule them for him. Some people are afraid to take off because they fear y…

We ask them to fill out a questionaire when they come in to resign, but they can leave their name off of it.

I agree that once she left you have no stake in the issue, but of course she could turn around and file a harassment claim or constructive discharge. We had a similar situation, separated the supervisor from the subordinate even though they both den…

I respond to 99.9% of phone calls (there are some people who you really don't want to talk to), and 100% of e-mails needing a response. Those that are just for information, I usually don't answer.

We do not hire minors, but I have had parents who want to hold their adult child's hand through the hiring process. One woman even called me at home after she had cursed me thoroughly at work for not hiring her son. (I have caller-ID and did not ans…

Is it possible he is sequestered and can't make a call? Maybe they are in deliberations and he can't call. If he comes up with something like that, I wouldn't penalize him, but otherwise I would think your call in policy should have been followed.

My pet peeves are people who arrive late, and those who chew gum or roll candy around in their mouth during the interview.

Hours worked do not include time off with pay, only hours actually physically on the job.

The State of Louisiana went to an automated HR-Payroll system in 2001 using SAP. I agree it sometimes is difficult to navigate from one screen to another to get information, but since we had no automated HR System prior to SAP we don't know any bett…

I work for a state government agency and what we do is a reduction in pay equal to the number of days suspension. If they make $15 an hour and we want to suspended them 8 hours, or $120, we reduce their pay to $10 for 12 hours and they work at the …

We are a state agency and we run worker's comp and FMLA together.

You can always appeal it. Who knows how they make these decisions? We reoutinely have people draw who are terminated for not coming to work. Our local UI folks say that is not their fault they can't make it to work. At least you should not be a bas…

Under the Louisiana Pregnancy Act you can't discriminate against her for pregnancy related conditions, but you don't have to treat her better than you do other similarly situated employees. I am HR Director for a state agency in Louisiana, and we wo…

I work for a state agency, and our open records law requires that we provide a copy of the public portion of an employee's personnel file to anyone who requests it. We are allowed to charge a reasonable fee, and some don't want to pay the 25 cents a…

In our agency we have "master" and "regular" jobs. For example, a Master Carpenter does finish work, while a regular Carpenter does framing, and rougher type of work. If we need a cabinet built, the Master Carpenter does it, if we need framing for a…

In Louisiana you pay a percentage of your payroll in unemployment taxes based on the number of claims sucessfully filed against you. This applies to private sector employers. Public sector employers pay a reimbursable account, they only pay what is …

I agree with NaeNae. If this is the most qualified candidate, hire them. I have two employees right now working for me while undergoing treatment for cancer. Despite their required absences, they do their work and are both outstanding employees. If …

If they worked for an employer two years ago that could meet the 12 months of employment rule, but the 1250 hours have to be in the past 12 months.

You might try vocational-technical schools, or even high schools that have vocational programs. Around here we have some seniors completing in January, even though they don't graduate until May.

We are a state health care facility and the same question came up. The answer was no we can't require, just offer, promote and make available for free. We are planning an employee health fair in November where they can get blood pressure checks and …

We also keep grievances separate from the personnel file.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-08-07 AT 08:12AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I wouldn't terminate for poor performance, but at some point when a person has no paid leave and isn't eligible for FMLA, you have to let them go and hire someone …
-
We routinely terminate employees who have exhausted all leave and all FMLA eligibility. I think in the case where they have no FMLA protection you would be OK.

We do background checks prior to making an offer. They sign a form agreeing to this when they apply. We are restricted from hiring people who have been convicted of certain crimes because we provide services to people with developmental disabilities…
