[quote user="austinle"] Hello all, I'm relatively new to the HR field (graduated with the degree in Dec 08) and new to the forums I was curious if an emergency contact form was considered confidential? There isn't a place for employee social secu…

Thanks for posting that, Cappy.

Ask your attorney this question: "What if they are using their own equipment on their own time to make these statements, but the statements they are making would violate the harassment policy were they to be made at work, and the statements are know…

This is a pretty open area right now and I imagine it's much tougher in the public domain than in the private domain. There are a few interesting angles on this. On one hand, a person who is a self avowed member of the KKK is not, on that basis alon…

[quote user="cappy"] I need some advice about employees posting on Face Book. First, I have deliberately not visited Face Book to view any of the comments that were revealed to me. I want to know what I may be getting into first. As some of you kno…

[quote user="Bucky333"]Thanks TXRHRguy, I was afraid of that; we will be changing our practice as of now. But the employee did sign receipt of our personnel policies which included our FMLA policy, we are really consistent on postings in all our…

You should always send FMLA by paper mail with a signature required for delivery. From what you have written here, you have no way to demonstrate that you timely notified this person of their FMLA rights. A conservative position would be to reins…

[quote user="IT HR"] [...]There are very few things that an employer can take out of a person's paycheck that are legal, and if you don't have a doucment signed from the employee understanding these deductions then it is even harder for it to pass …

[quote user="fizzbizz"] Thanks for responding. The authorization to deduct from wages, I think, is the main issue. All drivers are employees of the company, paid an hourly wage. What I'm not clear on is whether the deductions are covered by the b…

[quote user="MDHRGirl"] Texas Labor Code: Sec. 61.018. DEDUCTION FROM WAGES. An employer may not withhold or divert any part of an employee's wages unless the employer: (1) is ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction; (2) is auth…

[quote user="SPDSKTR"] I'm awaiting TXHRGuy's input. [:D] [/quote] Ask the owner why the guy's on the books. Let him know that if the guy walks in and breaks his leg, it's a worker's comp issue. If he does any work off the clock, it's a FLSA iss…

[quote user="6407006"] My client is in NC and does not offer a health insurance program to their employees. They provide a $100 premium reimbursement to those that are covered elsewhere. On the employee’s paycheck, there is a line item that stat…

Without rounding, in general, most decent electronic time keeping systems all you to set a schedule. An employee can clock in before schedule, but it won't start paying them until scheduled time. It's the Company's job to ensure the person is not …

Take a look at this blurb from a recent article: To sum it up, time spent donning gear, walking to the production line, working, walking back to the locker room, and waiting to doff is compensable, as is an employer-caused wait to don. [...] So, mea…

[quote user="Grubby"] Yes I agree w/ all the comments, but our problem is having people run up to the clock punch in and then change into their work clothes or to chit chat w/ another person. We feel that if a person chooses to change into another …

You need to understand if what's going on counts as de minimus time, like a standard potty break, or if they are engaging in something that is an essential feature of the job, itself. There are conditions under which not paying them for things like…

You can't require that they do anything prior to punching in, and you have to pay them once you require them to punch in. When you say "being ready to work", what do you mean? Are they donning safety equipment or ...?

[quote user="IT HR"]What I have heard from some attorneys is that until there are some cases that go through on this that you should keep your payroll records indefinitely, especially if you have currently or recently had some law suits related to t…

Employee assistant program would be a good idea. As others have said, contact your HR people. Most ways of being a jerk are not illegal and I imagine this falls into that realm as well. However, if you have a code of conduct, I bet your loss preve…

[quote user="salaney"] Would this be covered under at will employment? [/quote] It's actually better than a pure at-will situation. A pure at-will situation would be like when you fire someone based on a lottery (perhaps just to amuse the owner of …

Normally, rescinding an offer is really a last option. In a case like this, there's certainly nothing wrong with sending a letter with delivery confirmation, preferably a signature for receipt, that tells the candidate that the offer stands for x n…
