Oh for the good old days when lawyers (or their representatives) would chase ambulances. Sorry, I'm getting cynical. It seems to me that lawyers go out of their way to live up to the public image of them. My pet peeve is all the class action suits …

We, also, use an outside party to collect and conduct tests. I have been told that the cheaper breathalizer will be positive if a person used a mouthwash, some cold medicines etc.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-06-04 AT 10:11AM (CST)[/font][br][br]To tell someone that they cannot get a raise for 14 months because of one poor review and then not work with them to improve their performance seems unfair. First…

Furthermore, I believe most of us have a policy in place in which the supervisor is not given a diagnosis (unless absolutely esssential, such as in determining how to make an accomodation).

Can you terminate for lying on their application?

Okay Hatchetman and Don--time for a time out. I respect both of your opinions. However, words like idiotic, childish etc. are not what I am use to from either of you. I hope that all the venting is over and come next year, we can again express our …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-30-03 AT 07:34AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Our letter states that on the following date(s) you neither reported to work nor called in. If we do not hear from you by ----, we will assume that you are no lon…

As far as I know, you don't need to wait three days. The key is what is your policy and what have you done in the past.

The issue is not one of compassion. Of course, all of us want to be compassionate. The issue is the union. With our union, whenever we have shown compassion it has come back to haunt us.

The key here is the exact wording in the contract. Therefore, I would need it in order to answer your question.

Basically, if the belief is sincerely held, it does not matter even if the person is a member of an organized religion. In this case, since you are changing the schedule, see if you can make the accomodation.

Once had an employee who called in sick. I saw him that night at the movie theater and he boasted about the tan he acquired on the beach that day. It was an expensive tan (points + no pay for the day).

You have any employee who made what appears to be a flippant remark and because the owner got annoyed they may be fired. Sorry, but that's way too extreme. I think the owner should lighten up. Also, it sounds that the owner has decided that he is …

First of all, never contact a doctor without the written authorization of the ee. I prefer to do all of these communications in writing. I find it saves a lot of misunderstandings. What scares me is the upper management doesn't know if it is leg…

Agree with the others. This is an issue for legal. However, I would point out that when I was married, the lawyer who drew up our wills, insisted that my then-husband and I maintain separate bank accounts. This is because when someone dies, the b…

We issue picture i.d. cards which the employee can use to cash company checks. If a check cashing place calls we tell them to ask for the card.
-
Everyone who is fired (terminated is too nice a term) will try to protect their image by denigrating the employer. I can see Mr. Manager in the above scenario saying "You see. the company (and in particular Ms.....) was out to get me. Now they're s…

Sorry Gene, but you're wrong. One of the primary obligations on HR personnel is to keep their mouths shut. The quality of the job we do depends upon people knowing we can maintain their privacy. Another obligation is to keep the company out of har…

Our policy includes "spouse, not estranged". We had an employee who wanted time off to attend her husband's funeral. Problem was, the obituary and newspaper article mentioned his fiancee. She had brought in the court papers showing the legally sep…

I agree with Ray A. I would add, however, that if her attendance is so terrible why hasn't she been disciplined (written warning to suspension). If she is known to lie, why is it tolerated? Finally,if you want to prevent "fraud", have ALL employees…

Hate to sound flippant, but this is getting ridiculous. It is winter in NJ no matter the religion. There is nothing wrong with any of these songs. I would even add Frosty the Snowman. This past weekend, I went to holiday party for another company. …

The heck with the carts, have you looked at how dirty the money is (pun intended).

I'll drink to that!!! x:D

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-08-03 AT 08:33AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Most states have a law making it illegal to sell alcohol or cigarettes to a minor. NY, as well as many other states, send minors into stores to buy cigarettes and…

I may be the only one to agree with you. Every day I hear "facts" through the grapevine. 99% per of them are false or greatly exaggerated.
-
Terminating an ee who has filed an workers' comp claim can appear to be retribution (even if they are not entitled to FMLA). I agree with the idea of filing the positions with temporaries.

Schmuck is Yiddish for a part of the male anatomy. Therefore, it is very gender specific. However, it currently also has another meaning.

We have ees that we have gotten first-aid training etc. We, also, have on the staff someone who use to be a nurse. Therefore, I never call an ambulance. I leave that to the individuals who have more medical expertise than me to make that decision…

Hate to be picky (not really) but it's a holiday party (all inclusive) rather than a Christmas party. Our CFO still wants a catered party, claims it is classier. However, the holiday committee (can't think of another name for it)is adamant that the…

Two years ago, instead of a catered holiday party at our NY plant, the ees, volunarily, brought in food representing the ees particular heritage and tradition. It was a resounding success. We still do it and it may be the best meal of the year. I…
