[quote user="efeldman"][quote user="HRforME"] We also largely reduced benefits and stopped our 401k match. [/quote] We are considering stopping our 401K match. What kind of messaging did you send out regarding this? We have been struggling wi…

How large was your Company prior to the first round of layoffs and how long was it that large? The issue about layoff restrictions from a federal perspective is the WARN act. At your present size, or anything close to your present size, the WARN a…

I know of a company that engages in this practice and I have discussed it at considerable length. Here are some thoughts: Does a government agency that provides such reports to the public for no cost constitute a "consumer reporting agency" for th…

However, if you even inadvertently create a trend of laying off people in a protected class or of a certain race and rehiring people not in that class or generally of another race, you will end up with a problem in the long term. If you have people …

[quote user="KMoore1"]NLRA section 8(a)(3) makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate in hiring on the basis of a person’s union sympathies. So -- I would avoid any questions that pertain to unions.[/quote] Bingo.

As long as your layoffs don't all happen to be foreign born individuals, I think you are OK. Your policy allowing people to take their PL into the negative doesn't mean you have to let people take PL.

Probably fine but there are some possible hangups. Please provide the following information: 1) How many employees does your company have within a 50 mile radius of the site of the employee who had a scheduled leave? If the employee works remotel…

Spittle is biological material, which is treated as hazardous waste in some places. Got a safety policy? Personally, I'd just say, "Hey, that's really gross. Please go to the restroom if you need to do that."

[quote user="3923855"]If the vacation time is paid time off, it is completely legal. The only time the DOL gets excited is when you deduct from an exempt employees PAY for an absence of less than 8 hours, for reasons other than safety violations. […

[quote user="SubGrapHR"] In most cases yes--GIVEN that your handbook, policy guideline, etc. outlines that the company reserves the right to deduct for half day vacations on all employees. Exempt employees have, especially where I have worked, abu…

Defense I earned my master's degree in a class that was mostly 22-24, a few around 30, and a couple in their early 40s. Some fields such as engineering benefit by having the latest, greatest info. Issues The degree, itself, is not the qualifying p…

[quote user="mcwho"] I did say Bogus complaint, didn't I. Your explanation is saying that I should assume that he was correct, not so. By the way, it was the previous LEAD that called him a Mexican it was well comented and laughed by the previous …

[quote user="NYGiants"]The best advice I can give you (and you most likely won't like it), is to sit tight during any investigation, let it play out. If the complaints are false, then the investigators should come to a reasonable conclusion. The big…

If it is feasible: review all I-9s and correct all deficiencies among current employees. In a case like this, their documents don't dove tail with what they put on the form. Have them fill out a new form and show their documents. When the I-9 is …

Kids: just say no. "Drug policy" covers a lot of ground, actually. Do you want the ill-effects of legal drugs covered? What about drug testing? Do you want, need, or require a random testing program? Do you want to address how to handle people…

I always keep the investigation material in a separate file and require a subpoena for release. The disciplinary document goes in the EE file.

I would immediately edit your post to remove your name so it doesn't show up on a google search and end up potentially connecting you to this person's future failure to obtain a job. Other than that, I wouldn't break my policy on the record. A whole…

[quote user="HRforME"]Who is the payroll clerk's boss's boss? That is who the HR director needs to clarify this with. I agree that the payroll clerk SHOULD NOT be the one making this decision. The payroll clerk's boss sounds like a real winner. …

I will bend over backwards to avoid doing pay deductions versus bonus reductions or other disciplinary action (including reduction in pay). I generally write into handbooks that using the time clock properly is part of job performance for non-exemp…

You aren't entitled to a diagnosis, but employees often provide information that isn't required and that's not always a bad thing. Since you now know or strongly suspect that the employee's spouse has a serious health condition because you have the…

[quote user="SAMBUKA"] You can reduce their wages proportionately to the reduction in hours. Instead of paying them $1,000 per week you can pay them $800. The $800 would be payable whether they worked the full 32-hours or not - just like before.…
