Larry, As someone from Kansas named Toto, I can't help but be afraid ... knowing what the rest of the quote is. :-S Also, I have been on the Purina Diet for years but the side effects can be embarrassing.

Caroliso, I’m sure many of us are still wondering how this saga is going. x:-/ I attended some ADA training last month given by an EEOC lawyer that was excellent. Part of it focused on “reasonable” and documentation. She didn’t do “lawyer speak” or …
-
As someone named, Toto, I am curious. Have you been allowing DE to bring the dog to work these last 3 months while waiting for the certification from the DE’s medical practitioner? And if the certification is that the DE needs assistance will it nee…

I took it to mean they have no "smoking policy" not a "No smoking" policy. Is that correct? As to the question, I am not sure of your legal exposure but you have already incurred a cost by your "smoker" acting like a jerk. If she is a good EE, you…

There was an article in the Montana Employment Law Letter dated Aug 10 through M. Lee that you may be able to access "Be careful what you keep in personnel files" As to your examples: Employment verification forms (like for mortgage applications) …

Good, because I think the 360 has much more risk then what you would gain. If you take time & do this survey right you can gain lots of beneficial info and have a positive outcome. Here are a few questions I asked EEs to rate between 1 - 5. Y…
-
Are the ratings/comments from EEs annonymous, kind of like a survey or are you planning more like a 360 review where the supv may know or at least speculate on who is providing what?

Had my first at beginning of the year, 8 months after hire. EE, a student, had already gone back to college. He had transposed numbers. Did not use SS card for I-9 employment eligibility so I never saw it. Was able to get copy through parents, so al…

ritaanz I can't find the sad puppydog eyes icon but I'm sorry if it brought up bad memories. I thought my comment was kinda cute but forgot that with the injury it was a little more serious. I also noticed you edited your post before I saw it, havin…
-
Didn't Q do a video on how to motivate EEs into wearing proper footwear? Something about a bebop on the head? I think ritaanz may have a copy.
-
I agree with Ritaanz's questions & comments. Get more info then consider carefully so you don't create a legal problem with a future term. If you do keep the supv, document & use the situation to help his boss learn what's going on & hel…

Since you wanted another thought I’ll chime in. If you don't have a sick leave policy other than the ee gets 12 paid sick days I think I would also advance her the sick pay from the 12. Let her know you are doing that to help her in this situation …

Nae is right that the CEO sets the tone for reviews. Here is a way to increase the importance. Educate mgrs & CEO on the legal & morale benefits of having regular reviews on file. Provide outside source info (white papers, training tapes, co…
-
I agree completely with Nae. Since you alrady made the decision to term & had the documentation to support it, why would you change the reason to job abandonment? It could place you in a weaker legal position because there are many valid reasons…
-
Since nobody has responded yet, Lori let me first ask a question. Did the EE request that level of accommodation? If not, I agree with you it appears the supv did go overboard. As you know, many times supv react too quickly without asking questions …

Thank you for your post, WO. I’m glad your situation worked out and that the emails gave you a chuckle. I had a thing arise yesterday regarding someone’s religious interpretation. It can be a challenge to understand where an EE is coming from when t…

FROM: Pat Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All employees RE: Holiday Party DATE: December 12 People, people, nothing sinister was intended by having our CEO dress up like Santa Clause! Even if the anagram of “Santa” does happen to be “Satan” the…

Okay, Open1 did a post on Nov 2 in the HR-de-har-har forum that had the first memo regarding a company Christmas Party but she didn’t continue them. I finally found a very similar one in my files from 2000. I hope I am not spoiling it by posting th…
-
I saw a joke 6 or 7 years ago that were a series of emails sent to employees about the Christmas, excuse me, “Holiday” party and how the HR Director through each succeeding email tried to accommodate the different religions, AA members, Vegans, etc.…

Katy, I didn’t provide anything on your first post, cause you were getting excellent info from everyone else. A couple of thoughts did occur to me with this update from you. Depending on how your system is set up, your IT mgr could have been reading…

Heidi, I think Paul’s 2 choices are basically it. And yes, you have been put in a difficult spot so I will attempt to help a little by asking some questions you can answer to yourself and also share a few of my thoughts. Why are you having to carry…
-
Excellent info, didn't think of that. Also, I'm curious, David. How many pages of her "novel" did she resubmit or that you allowed as reasonable? Was she still employed there when you left? I bet she pushed her supv(s) to the edge mentally.
-
I agree. If you allow this one, how do you tell her no to the next ten requests. My problems is supv who want to use EE file for "pats on back" memos/emails instead of documenting them on evals which are kept in file. When do you remove positive st…
-
In my perspective, a return response to the sender would not take any more time then replying to a forum post. Yes, the complainer may be crackpot (is that a medical term?) or someone (perhaps another EE) specifically targeting “Jane”. If they don’t…
-
You have already done the right step, Tracey by treating the complaint as legitimate and proceeding to gather more information. We had a similar thing a couple yrs ago. Boyfriend posed as a neighbor of EE, sent email to boss. We responder to sender,…
