  • He was hired to do a job and he's not >doing it. In your initial posting, you stated that you wanted to delegate additional duties. Now, you are saying he is not doing the job he was hired to do. Statements appear to be in conflict-pleas…
  • If he is truly working the full day then asking him to take on additional responsibilities may be unreasonable. Maybe you do have take away some of the jobs he does. If he is not working a full day (lots of time in the coffee room, on personal call…
  • This may come across a little harsher than I mean it to but the whole purpose of a PIP is to help the ee succeed. Not only should the ee have a copy of the PIP, but it should be reviewed with them to make sure they understand what is expected and wh…
  • It appears that there was two types of disemination of information (1) the pay rates etc. (2) the hole in your software. Is there any way a computer expert could examine every computer and see which unauthorized people accessed the program? Remembe…
  • Do not terminate at this point, if at all. Your post seems to give only the VP's side of the story. What is the salesperson's side. Until you know the full story, you cannot draw any conclusions. Simply using the F word is not grounds for dismiss…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-22-05 AT 09:55AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Have you spoken to the salesperson? Sounds as if you have half the story.
  • I'm in manufacturing, so you're only getting my take. I don't know what you publish, but if you forced me to subscribe to something I don't want, I would be real unhappy. I believe you should either continue the discount or give it to your ees fre…
  • I would not let her retract the resignation. Also, I would notify the wc carrier (it is their job to determine if this is a worked incurred illness or even if ee is ill).
  • You should, also, be concerned if Joe hurts someone else. Joe should have both wc insurance and liability insurance and your company should be named on a certificate of insurance (which is required by our insurance carriers and is a part of the ins…
  • If it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck and if it smells like a duck, it is a duck. No matter what the president thinks, the company has given every appearance of ignoring FMLA, ADA, Age-discrimination etc. One-time exception is never an…
  • Do you have a written rule...the rule doesn't have to apply to this particular situation but could apply to the use of the company phone for private purposes during working hours. If you do, enforce it. If you don't, write one with an effective da…

  • s#### in my pants but only if I was wearing appropriately colored slacks or skirt. Of course, my shoes would also have to match. My second choice is to leave the room, curse a blue streak, grab the president of the company (my brother), send the …
  • I'm really sorry I have to terminate you. I don't want to do it because I really like you personally but I have no choice.
  • General rule is "no solicitation". If you say yes to one, how do you say no to another. And, you, also, pave the way for someone to put out forms for Unions.
  • I find the union claims "past practice" only for what is helpful. In any case, management has the right to change procedures that are not part of a contract and the union has the right to file a grievance and threaten arbitration. However, if you g…
  • Why, after 9 years, is she requesting that her first round of employment count toward her seniority? Our policy is that if an ee is layed-off due to a lack work, they return to work with no loss of seniority. Everyone else who is out for 6 months…
  • Some of our ees stop off and order and pay for their lunch on the way into work.
  • First of all, the ee should be examined by the company doctor immediately. By the way, did the ee bring in a note from his doctor stating he was released to full duty. Second of all, the supervisor needs some additional training (if I was sarcastic…
  • I think you have to slow down. First of all, you heard it through the grapevine (grapevines are notoriously unreliable) that the supervisor is going to attend (this is a future event, has not happened yet and may never happen). Second, you are assu…
  • I wish gifts were always as simple the cheap stuff (crap) given out at shows. Right now, I am very unhappy that I had to turn down 6 tickets to the woman's final of the US Open (tennis). Every time the Yankees win a pennant race, the offers for wor…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-17-05 AT 08:30AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I just realized that if I attended the HR symposium, I could win the Door prize or the grand prize (which if of high enough value, I could not accept). I wonder i…
  • Companies can't. However, they can have a policy about working under the influence of alcohol. Therefore, if the rule exists, the employer would have the right to test employees coming back from a luncheon where alcohol was served.
  • Let's take a worst case scenario. What is the consequence if the Kid B falls down in the courthouse (in front of a lot of liability lawyers) and breaks a leg? What if another ee has a 13 year old child and had wanted child to work for your company …
  • We, also, require that non-exempt ees clock out for lunch and not eat lunch at their desk. Occasionally, we have an ee who asks to sit at their desk so they can use their computer (most frequently to do shopping around Christmas time).
  • This is worst than you originally explained. Here, a supervisor gets one warning about failing to follow safety policies (including guards) and re-training, a suspension and then a termination. In any case, there ee is obviously a walking disaster. …
  • I've >been burned by a few ee's returning to their >desk, and then creating an all out scene. I >guess since then, I'm reluctant to allow others >to return. Just trying to get a feel for what >others do. As far as I can r…
  • Let's take this in a different direction. If this ee is fired, there will be a lawsuit because the ee's rights as a homeowner have been violated (including the right to use the facilities the same as other homeowners and have an opinion during their…
  • Interesting concept but 1. Even in this day and age, not everyone has a home computer or personal e-mail address. 2. I know that when I am at home, my computer usually is not on. If someone has to reach me, they'll probably be successful if they c…
  • We had many ees who opted out of health insurance for their children because it was cheaper to use the state plan. However, lately, I have gotten inquiries from the state asking if company insurance was available and in some of the cases (based o…
