  • We have a policy of 2 days NSNC and you are terminated. As far as telling the customer that your EE was in jail, as others have said - if you stayed with only facts not necessarily against the law, me personally I would have just told the customer …
  • Anyone not able to do their normal duties that is not WC related is not able to return to work until the restrictions are lifted - don't want to be in a position that work aggravates their condition. We set them up with STD and FMLA if they qualify…
  • JM Our company policy is - holidays that fall on Saturday, off on Friday - holiday on Sunday, off on Monday and day after Thanksgiving is a paid holiday we also get 1/2 off on Christmas Eve. Our company is in 42 states and have about 4,200 employe…

  • Rockie, State of Minnesota is a "one party consent" meaning the person doing the recording is the party giving the consent. As far as leaving the recorder and leaving the area that person is in violation. That's why I have said in the past that I…
  • Oral is without HR involvement in the meeting, many times the supervisors will run it by me before hand. Written or more severe HR must review the documentation and sit in on the meeting. Usually the only time I will step in is if the supervisor c…
  • I agree with the others on the risk factor, whether it is in Minnesota or any other state there are very strict (generous) regulations dealing with USSERA. I contacted the Commander of our NG employees to verify the duty days, in addition most of…

  • I want to thank all of you for your help. I have received many great examples. It is wonderful that everyone is so supportive and helpful. Have a great Friday and even better weekend.
  • SMace the employee received 2 checks one to direct deposit, one regular check which sparked her "concern". I explained to EE and her manager that there could be several reasons why he received 2 checks that they should not take it upon themselves …
  • Don, Same here, the EE doesn't have access to this stuff. To make matters even more complicated her husband works out on the floor. He comes into the office many days and sits at her desk for breaks and lunch. As posted earlier, her mother is he…
  • We have a tricky situation here. The payroll clerk answers to the office manager instead of HR, my HR Director and myself would like to have this changed so she falls under HR but here is the kicker - the office manager is the payroll clerk's mothe…
  • I also agree with Don, and taking it one step farther, when filling out the section - if the documentation you are recording falls under column B on offical documents acceptable, make sure that you are recording that information in column B, same fo…
  • Many times we in HR have our hands tied when it comes to management making the right choices. The best advice some times is continue to let them know and document, document, document that the communication was done. Change what you can. Good Luck…
  • I agree with JM. Is this EE eligable for unemployment? if so spend your time fighting that, a battle you are much more apt to win.
  • We pay for our first responder team members 100%, anyone outside the team interested we pay 50% and they have to take the training outside of their schedule. The first responder team is cert in 1st aid and CPR. There are many services out there th…
  • Linda, NETWORK NETWORK NETWORK. Before this job in HR I NEVER did anything like this. Talk about a newbie! I do have an outstanding HR Director that has let me fly. But I would say the most help I have received is my fellow HR experts in my com…
  • A smoker is entitled to the same amount of break time as a nonsmoker AND NO MORE. I certainly wouldn't want to try to monitor and try to correctly dock their pay, that would be opening a whole new can of worms that is best not opened. It would …

  • I could not agree more with flyinglow !!!! Our company uses ADP and it is a nightmare!! We use them for our payroll [3900 EEs]. Whenever there is a mistake on payroll it is always some one elses problem, mistake. Run for the hills if they do decid…
  • My question is do you have a MRO that makes a determination upon a positive result? In that event they should be doing the investigation, if the prescription was for someone else, which again is illegal, all you should really be receiving is a conf…
  • I publish birthdays and anniversaries in our newletter each month. I have yet to have an EE request not to be published. I have mis-spelled an EE's name. He justed teased me about having a blond moment. I guess I am pretty lucky and have underst…
  • I am also from Minnesota, and agree with HR Manager. We cannot band employees having weapons in their vehicles in the parking lot. We do request that they keep them secured in their vehicle and not to remove them during breaks etc. but it is only …
  • I agree with the consenses. Terminate - he stole from the company. Was it the first time or only the first time he was caught? Will he do it again? One of the things I appreciate about my position in HR - it is my job to give the pros and cons …
  • Our company has a nepotism rule and they do a good job following it at my location anyway! Our office manager answers directly to the general manager. She hires the GM's daughter, then hires the daughters husband to work with his wife in the same …
  • HRanna, I agree with Don, unless he is driving for your company it is really outside our realm of responsibility. Consider this - he may have a work release.
  • After reading through all the posts it makes me thankful one more time that I am in Minnesota and not California. I've had to attend several Unemployment hearings in the 2.5 yrs that I have been in HR. Here in MN it is extremely important to atten…
  • HR4life, My company received notification of non-matching SSN's, fortunately for me my outcome was more positive. The only mismatch at my location was due to a marriage and the EE failed to submit her new SSN with corrected name, but I am dealing…
