[quote user="JACHR1979"]Can A military ID which contains the employee's social security number be used to satisfy section C of the I-9 form? While it is not included on the list of acceptable documents, it does establish employment eligibility whic…

To take it a step further, most states have provisions allowing EMPLOYEES to VIEW their employee file. Once termed, those provisions do not apply. Moreover, in some states you do not have to let them even take notes about the contents of their EE f…

It's also common in industries that are struggling or that have boom/bust cycles. Employers are allowed to tell people not to work. However, if this is not due to poor revenue, I would take steps to ensure that the employee isn't harmed (i.e., fin…

1) We don't know that this person is actually seeing a "mental health doctor". 2) Seeing a "mental health doctor" and taking prescription medications are not the same thing. How you came about this knowledge could become a problem for you in the fut…

The short answer is yes. A person who has stood in loco parentis qualifies as a parent. I'll check a reference tomorrow but I'm 99% certain that is the case.

Same money, less BS? That line only has a shot at working if the new position allows him to save face. Going from cheap manager to expensive mail sorter may be tough for him. How much is he wrapped up in the managerial status of his role?

http://nolo.com It's a good source for all things legal. It's not a web version of the book, but they make updates available so you don't have to buy a new book every time you turn around, you can just print the updates. For example, if you look…

The Employer's Legal Handbook (not very deep but it casts a wide net and answers a lot of basic questions and it's updated by web so you don't have to buy one every month with each new court case and statute.) (Seingold, NOLO press) The FMLA (Aitchi…

The manager must do what he or she is directed to do by his or her superior to avoid a claim of insubordination. One way to get this handled while you are waiting to implement the policy is to go over his or her head, get buy in, and fix the proble…

Technically, you can enforce your policy whether the person signs or not. Dealing with the aftermath of them claiming they didn't know is a pain, so there are better ways to handle it. Read on. You can enforce your policy even if you don't notify …

[quote user="larscl"]Thank you this helps...it appears that he is just gennerally a slob but I will encourage his supervisor to check on the medical issue and the religious issues before we take further steps. This employee has worked for our compa…

Technically, you can cut the W-4 form just above the bottom section and discard the rest. It says, right on the document, "Cut here and give Form W-4 to your employer. Keep the top part for your records." With this understanding of the process, I…

HRforMe is right: we could use some clarity here. I interpreted the original email to be saying that the recruiter filled out the boxes for the employee and then had the employee sign it. That should be OK on the face of it although there could be…

I doubt there's anything illegal with it as long as the employee signs the W-4 in their own handwriting. They are signing, "Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certificate and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it …

Sorry, I didn't take note of the state. There also could be tort issues although I admit the ones that come immediately to my mind are probably not worth pursuing because there's only one day of pay on the table to squabble over. Finally, the lack …

[quote user="hr_gmc"]From a legal standpoint, this is fine to do. Taking away the third day of sick leave raises an eyebrow on this side of the keyboard, but technically speaking, it's still ok.[/quote] There may be state issues here, so I wouldn't …

[quote user="HRforME"] However, I would also try to consider what if any this change will have on recruiting and/or retention.[/quote] Bingo. What sector/industry/business is your company in? What employee types will be affected?
-
If nobody loses something they already earned, there should be no problem. The way you describe it, it sounds like people who are already on board will get their second week after their second year and only new hires will be stretched out to the th…

I worked 4/10 as a driver a long time ago. I hated it. Some people liked it. A lot depends on if your employees would rather sacrifice four entire days in order to get one more full day back in return. I also recall that many people thought they…

[quote user="cardaly"]Thanks for sharing your expertise, TXHRGuy. You've responded to a couple of questions I've posted here and you always give thoughtful replies, as you have with many others.[/quote] You are too kind. [quote user="cardaly"]How …

I've done sales comp plans for everything from technology sales executives to hourly telemarketers. Here are some helpful guidelines off the top of my head that I hope you find helpful. 60/40 is an aggressive split. So, unless the base is pretty s…

Marysue, The EEO data is for either Affirmative Action planning required of federal contractors and certain other organizations or for employers in excess of 100 employees who must file an EEO-1, or both. There are a variety of laws that begin to c…

I'm sure some seek the job for the offer to quit. However, it's interesting to note that their offer to quit has gone up over the years, which suggests their metrics support the practice. I guarantee you some executive, possibly the CFO, has to be…

Whew! Nice follow up, Reg. I read the whole thing and it restores my faith in the judiciary, even the 9th Circuit. This kind of thing happens in employment law regularly, although usually without the constitutional overtones. Employers get in tro…

The court leaned heavily on the fact that the texting service was outside of the company and, therefore, not like an internally controlled email server. I know of at least one large telecomm company that created and deployed its own internal IM sys…

I wouldn't sign anything without written authorization to do so. Once you are duly authorized in writing, sign away. Alternatively, make good use of scanner/email or fax machine. I think most people ignore the legal posting notices but, since they…

[quote user="HR_Fun"] What topics do you feel are important to include within a HR Dashboard aimed at top leadership; or if you would like to share a sample. My initial thoughts are: Cost per Hire Human Capital ROI Revenue Factor (Revenue / Total…

The content is as important as the location. For instance, posting everyone's SSN and birthday along with their name and address is a bad plan. Keep in mind that, even if there is no specific law against the disclosure, there still may be tort fea…
