  • Maybe we should keep it quiet. My son has played soccer for the Y (YMCA) and they still pray before games. (Obviously, Young Men's Christian Association) But, it was nice to hear it and I personally think it helped reinforce good sportmanship, fa…
    in What religious expression is allowable? Comment by Zanne August 2003
  • Crout: I don't think we Christians are victims and I hope you didn't read my post as portraying us to be. However, I wanted to point out that in the government's efforts to rid the workplace of religion harassment or discrimination - it appears as…

  • A strange coincidence - a friend sent me this today: THE NEW SCHOOL PRAYER Now I sit me down in school Where praying is against the rule For this great nation under God Finds mention of Him very odd. If Scripture now the class recites, It vio…

  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-18-03 AT 01:01PM (CST)[/font][p]I guess the one thing that I find objectionable - and I'll throw it in the ring - is that we are making religious accommodations for everyone but Christians. There, …

  • Lara: Good job! Move on. Call up the people you have met throughout your careers. Visit with a professional placement agency. Tone up that resume and get a better job - one that has good bosses and a supportive staff. You will live longer. An…
    in Job is not what they said it would be Comment by Zanne August 2003
  • You know, I'm not one much on lawsuits - although it appears from the original post that HR4life was trying to do her job - correctly. How about the bigger picture? I think if the post was accurate, HR4life needs to do the whistleblowing thing on …
    in FIRED!!! Comment by Zanne August 2003
  • You now, we had this very same question. What complicated it for us is that a DOL speaker came to town and said it had to be MORE than one day of absence in the week. And not on FMLA, with sick leave, blah, blah, blah. When we read the regs, we…
    in Exempt Question Comment by Zanne August 2003
  • You need to see the ssc to get the correct name that will match up with IRS when you do your quarterly taxes. However, the employee can decline to have it copied for your file. I would require a copy of the marriage license to add dependents and …
    in Proof of Marriage Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • We are a bank with 14 branch locations among three states. HR is responsible for payroll as well as all the other HR stuff. When I first came here, I was suprised that we didn't allow AP to do payroll for all those checks and balances - but learne…
    in Do you do payroll? Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • You may want to print off today's newsletter on Violence in the Workplace. Show it to the owners. If this employee is being a thorn in everyone's side - get rid of him.
    in What was he thinking??? Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • Sometimes unemployment is cheap compared to what departing employees can do. Also - we have instituted having blank resignation forms handy so that when someone says they quit and head for the door, a supervisor (or HR person) can head them off and…
    in Employee Quits - Then wants to come back Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • Scott: Would you send me that list also? We are trying to "clean" up 30+ years of record storage and that would help us. 417-455-2174. THanks! Suzanne Alumbaugh
    in How long to keep Applications and Resumes on File? Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • We announce babies with a special email and name changes in the company newsletter. We also send condolences if an employee wants to have a family member's death acknowledged on email. Still - I'm a little uncomfortable with these things due to HI…

  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-08-03 AT 11:49AM (CST)[/font][p]I don't have a lot to add, other than when you post her job, can I apply? x:-) I think that you can be a kind and generous employer, but still have reasonable expectat…
    in A spoiled employee!! Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • Have you laid off anyone in the past? Did you allow them to remain on the payroll for a period of time - or just pay them off? I would do the same for this person and not treat him any differently. Zanne
    in Severance or can he stay on the Payroll? Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • This is a touchy subject. I was in this person's shoes at one time. I was at a small hospital that merged into a larger one. They could have eliminated my position, but instead offered to let me interview for a corporate recruiting position. I n…
    in Pregnancy and a new Job Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • Whatever: I agree with you. As hard as it was to fire her, you have made the right decision. Now that she is gone, you will probably find out that this wasn't the first time something like this happened.

    in HR too nice. Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • Hooooorrrraaaayyyyyy! She's been released to do "normal" duties. I jokingly asked her if that meant "normal before pregnancy" or "normal during pregnancy". She thought that meant "whatever she considers to be normal." Oh well, you can't win them…
    in HR too nice. Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • HS: You have indeed hit the nail on the head of my biggest fear. That I encourage/talk her into doing something and then she loses the baby. Perhaps the filing wouldn't cause her to miscarry, but she would always feel that way. (And I would alwa…

  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-07-03 AT 12:06PM (CST)[/font][p]blw: You'll love this. The person who helps out periodically is our internal auditor - who is my assistant's sister-in-law. So, no possessiveness there. I'm sure gl…
    in HR too nice. Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • This is my employee - however, she had a good working relationship with my boss, the president, prior to me coming here, so I think she always feels that he's her boss also. That's a good suggestion on the putting things in order. I will ask her t…
    in HR too nice. Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • Parabeagle: Yes, I repeat the temporary mantra a lot. We have discussed resuming duties when her restriction is lifted (which should be in August) and she agrees with everything we discuss. Then she adds, "My doctor may not lift restrictions un…
    in HR too nice. Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • Yes, we had discussed the brainstorm to learn the job and I had actually done payroll twice. (To the extent that she would let me) I did call her on that and she got teary and said that she had been having a bad day when my boss called and she jus…
    in HR too nice. Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • Do you have an attendance policy? Do you have an EAP? (Employee Assistance Program) I would start counseling the employee per the attendance/disciplinary policy and let them know that the EAP resources are available. Then, I'd let the employee dec…
    in company's obligation Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • We do a credit report from Equifax. We have had people with errors on their credit reports. Equifax furnishes a letter that goes with the credit report and we give the applicants the whole thing. Zanne
    in FCRA - giving applicants a copy of their consumer report Comment by Zanne July 2003
  • I guess that I should participate, since I suggested this. Last year we rolled our deductible from $300 to $500 and increased our copay on prescriptions from $7 to $10 for generic drugs and $14 to $20 for name brand drugs. We are self insured and …

  • Carol: You may want to contact your local school district office and your state employment office. Both of ours have checklists for employing underage labor - even for brief periods of time. Zanne
