Failure to work an eight hour day.

Sorry, but in the case of an attendance policy, there should be no exceptions. I have been to many an arbitration or unemployment hearing and one of the first questions asked is "Does your company have a policy. If yes, may I see it. Was the empl…

When you speak to the local clinic, you should get as much information as possible in case some one should come to you. For example, where can you direct someone who wants to get tested and doesn't want to go to their doctor. For example, do they …

As per city laws, no smoking is allowed in the building. Smokers have the same break rules as non-smokers (once in the morning, once in the afternoon, both 10 minutes long). The "ranking" ees who smoke have no problem with the policy.

I know I have said it. Furthermore, on many occasions people have asked me to think about them in my prayers.

I have read what you suggested. I suggest you re-read it. It supports everything you have been told. Unfortunately, you do not appear to want to hear anything you disagree with. I have no problem giving advice to someone (who after careful consi…

Is that a truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

He is not in HR...he apparantly has no idea that Title VII exists.

Jeffrey, I believe you are missing a major point. You should not be apologizing for striking a nerve on your original post. The reason you should not apologize is that the posters on this web site seem to thrive on controversy. However, your post…

In the old testament, there is no mention of nude pictures, foul language or inappropriate talk. However, common sense (and the law) says that all are inappropriate to the work place.

As all the old timers know, I am Jewish. Therefore, the obvious question, "whose truth?" To state that you allow all sorts of literature because your truth will prevail is to show an amazing degree of intolerance for the strongly held beliefs of ot…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-03-04 AT 03:00PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I am utterly confused or utterly amazed. If I was talking I would state the following in a snide but astonished tone "People are actually watching what hours the …

When I started in HR, most of the laws about privacy were not in existence. One of the first things I learned was about the importance of keeping confidential information confidential. The second thing I was taught was to make sure the employee kn…

We close the New York plant for one week (Christmas/New Year's) and the NJ plant for two weeks (first week of July, Christmas/New Years) every year per the union contract and this time is counted toward vacation time. It is not a problem. Everyone…

The shop steward at our NY facility is also on the union board. The guy is not only difficult, but his word is as good as the last person he spoke to. He has twice fallen flat on his face (one of the times was an arbitration he forced on the union.…

I think we are both right. She has been spoken to and in this case, that was the best course of action. The behavior change didn't last. Furthermore, it appears that no one spoke to her until the accident occurred. So whether or not the PIP appro…

I disagree about treating this as a Personal Improvement Plan. (It never looks good for a very overweight person who has been out on a wc claim to be singled out.) I think you should have a specific safety policy that applies to all. It doesn't hav…

However, public officers have the right to view their personnel files provided they show reasonable proof of their identity. Sorry, but I just pictured a scenario whereby hereby George Bush, or John Kerrey (please notice, I do not discriminate …

You need to check your state regulations on who the check is issued to. Probably it has to be made out to the Estate of... or some variation of that.

This sounds like a CYA situation. If this is discovered by the other partners, what happens to the payroll clerk who is already on probation (this is a rhetorical question because I think the answer is obvious). The other partners have to be told, …

Is this person intentionally lying or has there been a misunderstanding? You need a meeting to determine what is happening. Then, after you have all the facts, decide what is appropriate.

Wow. Now I know why I love living in NYC. If you want to party afterhours you don't have to leave town. In any case, any policy will open doors to areas you don't want to go to. I agree with the others, forget it.

Whether someone is out sick, in jail,on vacation, we never explain to a customer why someone is absent. Was this defamation, I don't know. That is a legal question. However, his clients know that he was arrested. I gather they may not know that t…

I would love to be attorney for the ee on this one. Can just picture the questions ( "If you did nothing wrong, why did you try to cover it up?") You have no choice at this point but to notify corporate.

I, too, would investigate. In spite of the whistleblower laws, there are people who are still afraid there will retaliation if they come forward.

If the questionnaire was simply about colds, being near loud noises etc, I wouldn't care. However, it asks about diabetes, heart problems, what prescription drugs you are on and why. In any case, I have decided to distribute the questionnaire with …

I agree with you. At this point, you should be concerned that a new precedence has been set and discuss it with higher ups.

I agree with everyone above. This is truly bizarre. On top of which, everyone (including your boss) has a some point been out because they were sick for a day and not seen the doctor.
