I-9's have to be kept for one year following termination, or 3 years after initial hire, whichever is later. You can't just throw away 1-9's of current employees that have been with you for more than 3 years. Is that what you were suggesting vphr,…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-27-06 AT 09:08AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Not sure if this is interesting or amusing, but it's a good reason to do exit interviews. In my first month in HR I was asked to conduct 2 exit interviews in secre…

We have vacations based on each individual employee's hire date and they have to use all of their vacation within that anniversary year and it's still able to be tracked by our payroll system. It seems that moving to that kind of system from some…

We just spell it out "Equal Opportunity Employer"

That's what the count looks like to me, but the union issue is what makes me the most nervous about this. We're in pre-negotiations right now as that the vote was just completed. The union is already throwing around ridiculous charges and accusat…

Why would someone be terminated for posting nude photos on the internet? Just out of curosity, I can't think of a job other than a government appointed job, or something extremely high-profile where that would matter. Everyone in my office could h…

Thank you Leo, I would appreciate a copy of the form you use. I imagine ours in somewhat similar but it's always good to see variations. [email]aliciac@dunnlum.com[/email]

I have gotten many contradictory responses that's true, but every opinion offers some good advice and something to think about. Our labor attorney advises on keeping a low profile before the union negotiations and we have pretty much decided that w…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-17-06 AT 05:30PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Those are a bit long and well explained for headlines, it should be more of a senseless mish-mash: "Company Suspects MySpace Drugs, is Sued" I get what you're sa…

We only have pre-employment, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion testing. The only people required to submit to random testing are those who drive company delivery trucks. We'd have to do a reasonable suspicion test or a post accident, althoug…

Thank you to all of you, that was extremely helpful.

We don't have a 'company doctor' but we do use a clinic for our worker's comp claims. They also handle our pre-employment drug screens, and we would use them if we needed to refer an employee to a doctor for an issue like you have. The company we …

We offer a $100.00 instant referral bonus and then $250.00 after the referred employee reaches 6 months of employment and another $250.00 at the 1 year mark. Seems to work well for getting and keeping good employees. Online also works well for us,…

We keep them for 7 years as well.

I've actually had this come up before. We didn't hear about it until the EE came in with a doctors note excusing her for 4 weeks due to severe depression. We granted the FMLA.

Thank you everyone for your input, it's helped me to calm down a bit! I still don't have good details on what exactly is happening at the store with union contact. We treat our employees very well and we have always had an open door policy, so hop…

I would like a copy as well when you have a chance. [email]aliciac@dunnlum.com[/email] Thank you!

As was already said, all of Washington has a smoke-free workplace now! We have an area for smokers though which is in compliance with the 25 foot law. As far as it being legal to declare no smoking on the premises, I am fairly certain that you are…

I'd mention something about preparation even if only going to fill out an application. When I was in high school I went in to a place that wasn't even open yet (the building wasn't even completed) and just stopped in to grab an application. I cert…

We're open on the 3rd. I'd rather have the 5th off for recovery!

We have 'Janitorial' staff

I should clear up a little on the whole issue of other people having received this kind of accomodation. He is in just about the lowest position in the company, and all other people in his position work the rotating schedule without exception. He …
-
I'm confused too I have read the employment laws and it doesn't seem to include needing to make accomodations for people with other jobs in the religious field. We have a policy that states that employees can hold other jobs as long as they don't …

I'm not sure exactly what he's doing. I'll be getting more information when I meet with him tomorrow. Although, what difference would it make either way?
-
Ok, so now it's turned into something different. The employee didn't give me all the details, so I'll be talking with him again tomorrow. He isn't specifically wanting Sundays off in order to attend church, he wants to become a pastor and needs to…

"but the poster seemed to be looking for a loop-hole...." Sorry that anyone misunderstood me. I'm looking for something concrete to bring to the manager of this employee. I'm on the employees side and I think he SHOULD be accommodated, but I'm no…
-
Thanks. I'll go to his manager this afternoon to talk about making the accommodation.
-
Thank you for that! I am wondering if that technically applies though. We did make the accomodation for him to take Sundays off, but we also cut his hours in half to do so. I didn't see anything in the section you provided for me that said an emp…
-
Oh, I personally think that we should accomodate him. I was looking for possible legal citations anyone could offer to help me in taking this to the store manager and the employees direct supervisor. He didn't request it when he started, and he ack…

I'm a myspace user, but I don't understand how people have become addicted to it, I don't find it to be that great, oh well, obviously the numbers say otherwise. I'd be more worried about how many people are on craigslist during the day, that has …
