  • I agree with the majority here - I would never put a child's safety at risk because I "assumed" a comment was just gossip. Worst case scenario for me reporting? - Family Services comes in, investigates & finds nothing wrong. No harm, no foul…
  • I've used screenprints of our intranet announcement re: updates to policies & it's always held up for me in unemployment hearings. I would assume that a copy of an e-mail addressed to all would work as well.
  • The company I used took a plug approximately the size of a pencil eraser - they took small pieces from several discreet spots, so no one ruined their 'do.
  • I used to use the hair test when I worked in the casinos. I personally liked it. Never had any issues with reliability & didn't take too much longer for results. (If it was good enough for the MO Gaming Commission, it should be good enough fo…
  • I think I'd rather be deposed...... x}>
  • I definitely know how you are feeling. I administered all company leaves for a period of time & had several people with terminal illnesses, mostly cancer. I lost 3 employees during that time. After working on their disability with them for so…
  • Clarence M. Kelley & Associates 816-756-2458 [url]www.cmka.com[/url] Have used CMKA for over 4 years with various companies. Quick turnaround & great customer service - I've been very impressed.
  • Balloonman - I only WISH I was free Saturday not only to see you perform, but to witness the spectacle of what must be the Lenexa Spinach festival. x:D
  • You're right Don D (as usual!!!). My current co. does not have a policy & has not had any problems to date. In a former life, I worked in HR at a casino. The rule there was - no tattoos that show, no visible piercings in men, women may have a…

  • Believe it or not - the belly ring piercing doesn't hurt much. I am a world-class woose & I didn't even flinch. It was a bit sore for a week or so if I caught it, but was much better than I had feared. The anticipation was much worse than the…

  • >I can't imagine getting tatoos up and down the entire arm....I mean >heck it hurts getting just a small one! And just what would your "small" tattoo be?

  • Beware of subject lines such as "Thank you!" "Re: Advice" and "Wicked Screensaver". A group I'm affiliated with got hit hard by the virus & my mailbox was full of the above subjects - every single one of them was a virus.
  • I got the very same thing - sample "mini swiss army" type of thing. Thought it might come in useful - put it in my purse & promptly forgot about it until I went through security at the airport........ #-o

  • I would require this employee to get a statement from her physician before allowing her to return to work. In a case like this, I'd send the employee home (with pay) and give her 24 hours to provide the statement. If she's cleared, she can come ba…
  • I don't ask for an explanation - just say "It sounds like you may be eligible for FMLA," explain the law & process & send the paperwork. Easier to send out now than wait.
  • You're right - the Cards are going DOWN!!!! Go Royals!
  • I've used Clarence M. Kelley in a couple of different lives as well - never had any problems with them. Their number is 816-756-2458 or visit [url]www.cmka.com[/url].
  • jmpmo is right - no requirement.
  • I am in MO & Don is right - no problem hiring without outide advertisement.
  • A little off-topic, but I had no clue so many of you were so close! I work on the Plaza. Maybe we should plan a meeting of the KC-area forumites.........
  • USERRA speaks to how soon the employee has to report back to work, but I've never seen anything that speaks to giving the employer notice of his or her pending return. The link below has some great info if you need more. [url]http://www.uscg.mil/l…
  • Can't quote you any law or regulation, but all of our severances in CO are withheld at the supplemental rate. No 1099s here.....
  • Once someone becomes an "ex-employee," we do not allow them to view or to have copies of the file without a subpoena. We've only received a subpoena once or twice to the dozens & dozens of times ex-employees have requested access. Might want t…
  • Our company has deferred travel to Hong Kong, Singapore, China & other Asian locations until the SARS issue is under control - all of our sales folks are conducting their business via teleconference or cancelling altogether. Check out [url]http…
  • Try "adoptaplatoon.org" It is an organization started by mothers of enlisted men & women - your company may be able to "adopt" some of our troops. God Bless America & our troops!
  • I would terminate. If she will lie about the SS#, what else will she lie about? I had to do this once - one of our top performers (who had been with us for 20 years), falsified a dr. note to extend her disability leave. We considered this to be "…
  • I don't believe MO state law requires pay out of vacation time upon termination. We do as Margaret mentioned - pay out anything that is "earned & unused." Hope this helps!
  • You're probably going to want to check your state laws on this one. In Missouri, we are required to provide "service letters" if a former employee meets certain criteria with his/her request. Doesn't happen often - when it does, our corporate atto…
  • I appreciate your 2 cents worth. We didn't have any trouble with false positives. Perms, color treatments, etc. (according to the company we worked with) don't affect the analysis. I agree that most drug tests are stupidity tests - that's why I l…
  • We used a hair-sample drug testing method when I worked at Harrah's NKC Casino - thought it worked pretty well. It tests a longer time period & can't be altered. (It's amazing to me what people will do to fake a urinalysis test - I've heard th…
