  • Thanks for the very thoughtful answers. Nae Nae, I completely agree. It's often the go-getters who get ahead but that doesn't necessarily make them good leaders. I like the idea of changing our assessments to look for those leadership skills. Dashe…
  • Ok, this is the second time I've posted something and no one has responded. Have I upset anyone? Am I asking silly questions? Doesn't anyone want to come out and play?
  • In October of last year we ran an article in HR Hero Line about a case from the Eighth Circuit that talked about exactly this issue. The analysis backs up what everyone has said in this thread. [url]http://hrhero.com/hl/articles/2009/10/23/employee…

  • This takes me back to a former life when I was the sole PR person for a large public school system. It never ceases to amaze me how something that should be small can blow up spectacularly and get a lot of media attention not because the actual issu…
  • Julie Athey wrote an article about the sexual harassment case that's been making the news this week filed by a woman who was fired by Citibank because -- she claims -- she was too sexy. What do you think? There's a link at the end of the first parag…
  • Yes! A forum theme song. I'm surprised you all haven't come up with that before now. But if it's "Windy" then Tony might make me permanent forum moderator and you would miss all our other MLSP staffers. Anyone else got an idea for a forum theme son…
  • Our sample policies don't include one on pets in the workplace, but Hillary Collyer, one of the attorneys at DiMuro Ginsberg which writes the Virginia Employment Law Letter, did write an article on pets in the workplace that you can read at [url]htt…
  • I've just published the results of our holiday survey. The results will be announced in this Friday's issue of HR Hero Line, you can get a sneak peek now. And it looks like next year with July 4, Christmas and New Years falling on Saturdays it is m…
  • Here's the recipe. Unless you are feeding an army, you might want to cut it in half since it makes a lot. This is from the Christmas with Southern Living Cookbook 3 (12-oz) packages of fresh or frozen cranberries 3 cups sugar 1/2 cup brandy Arrang…
  • I'll have to find it, but I'll get it posted tomorrow. It's super easy to make.
  • We do a pot luck meal at church after our Thanksgiving service and it's great. You get every kind of side dish and turkey done all kinds of different ways. The new thing I did last year was brandied, candied cranberries from a recipe I found in a So…
  • Funny you should ask. Tonight (Nov. 3) we are sending out an email to the HR masses asking them just this question and others about the upcoming holiday season and the 2010 holidays. The survey will run through Nov. 11 and we'll report the results i…
  • I work at a credit union.

  • Ashley Gillihan, a lawyer with Alston + Bird in Atlanta, submitted a post today for our HR News blog that says he is betting on an extension of the COBRA subsidy, which will begin to run out for some people on December 1 and is advising clients to p…
  • For anyone who did not get the email and wants to take the survey, you can go to [url]http://www.hrhero.com/herosurvey/index.php?sid=96657〈=en[/url] Plynn, I've sent you a couple of private messages. If anyone else did not receive the email, pleas…
  • Thanks for the feedback Joannie. Actually it was our IT chief, Jim, who did that. Frank, I'll contact you personally so we can figure out exactly why you are not receiving it. Wendi
  • All of our customers. Did you not receive it? It went out at 7 p.m. last night.
  • Thanks for the response. He did ask for an accommodation by asking if he could be considered for work at one of our locations where the clients were more mobile. That particular home, though, has some of our most aggressive clients. What we are doi…

  • fighting knife in hand..... eye to eye with a grizzly bear.....This would be a good death.
  • As of now, I do not think the employee is aware of the situation. Payroll won't be completed til Thursday, and checks are not released til next Monday. We thought about the minimum wage issue, as well as the payback scenario. Unfortunately, this is…
  • Here's an article from last Friday's HR Hero Line about a couple of other bills that have been introduced that would make changes to FMLA. [url]http://www.hrhero.com/hl/061909-tip-FMLA.html[/url]

  • Sorry about that. I got it fixed. Just shows what happens when you try to do too many things at the same time.

  • There was an article on this in the Wisconsin Employment Law Letter last year. It's titled "A primer on travel time pay." You can find it by logging in to the subscribers area ([url]http://www.hrhero.com/lc[/url]), scroll down and click on the Answe…
  • I found some other things that might help. We have several special reports (they are included free with your subscription to the Employment Law Letter newsletters) on Employee Privacy, ADA, and FMLA. You can find them at [url]http://www.hrhero.com/s…
