Our labor agreements spell out when an employee becomes full time which follows completion of the probationary period. They also specify that only full time employees are eligible for membership in the union. So it depends on your probationary lan…

Has the Teamster's union rep protested/grieved the employees' not being paid for this testing? We have 5 unions here and they would immediately filed grievances if we did not pay the employee for reporting for mandatory (company required) drug/alco…

Sorry, we don't have a written policy, but our guideline is: if the Company requires or request the hourly employee to attend, we pay them. If it is strictly optional for the employee we do not pay them. We do not give extra compensation to exemp…

We had a random OFCCP desk audit but we had 350 employees at the time. So I believe they are random. You need to call the number listed in the letter and tell your contact exactly what you stated above. I can't believe you would be required to ha…

Hey Q - In my experience relocation is negotiable and can range from mileage to and from cities to up to 6 months temporary living and meals, closing costs on sell and buy of real estate, one or two month's extra salary for incidentals, kennelling p…

We prepared for a WARN but did not have to use it. The State Employment service was the best help we had preparing; they'll also keep you legal.

Wouldn't there need to be a job specific need to require a DD214, such as defense contracting? It isn't really a form of identification other than verifying name, ssn, etc. I've only had to provide my DD214 to one job and that was a defense contra…

I found this one article/survey about Casual Fridays on the net. Maybe it will offer some insight. [url]http://www.employeesurveys.com/policies/goodpol2.htm[/url]

Wow, lots of weighing in on this subject! Walmart is pretty much the only game in town but most of the population appreciates them being here because they do pay decent wages and generate a lot of sales tax revenue. Walmart is ruthless in their p…

Thanks Pork, but I'm not having a problem with it, I was just curious if the stepped up enforcement was a concern to forumites. Apparently it isn't, so we move on to the next hot spot! Thanks again.

Now that you've asked for it, MLS should have one published by the end of the week..... just kidding, we don't have anything either.

"Each employee is allowed one temper tantrum and voluntary walking off the job without notice. Employee will be scolded and a nondisciplinary advisory will be placed in their file. Second offense could result in actual discipline." Unless you hav…

Agree with Paul. Also, how did you Executive get to be an executive if they don't know how to even address this blatant behavior? And how long has it already been tolerated? Sounds like you have some people playing ostrich (head in the sand). Br…

We have contracted with Amish members and they willingly had their pictures taken for identification and security requirements. I would respect their wish to not be photographed for other purposes. We could all learn from them.

Nope, I'm not digging my hole any deeper by commenting on that!!! But speaking of books, did anyone read the latest Harry Potter? I didn't either but thought I'd ask...

Oops, I misread the book title; thought it said "Why Women Want Sex", not "... Have Sex". That could be a lengthy explanation.... Am I inviting enough wrath onto myself with this comment? BTW, I love my wife and she doesn't fit the stereotype; what…

Is that on the list of World's Shortest Books?

Doesn't anyone use a day planner anymore? I don't but that's where I used to note the casual, unofficial conversations you're talking about. It was good too because you had the date and time it took place. On the other hand, you had to back track…

In the normal, but quickly becoming antiquated, hierarchy, the levels of management from lowest to highest are: supervisor, general supervisor, superintendent, manager, director, vp, president, CEO, Board of Directors. Obviously not everyone has al…

First come, first served by seniority. Even in a nonunion shop it is good to show that seniority/tenure means something. Once everyone has designated their week(s) and the schedule is set, no one can bump someone else even if they have more senior…

We've never solicited for them nor have we received any. I would treat them as we do any other unsolicited resume: ignore them. There has to be a real concern about discriminatory practices in this new hiring arena and I think the guidelines are …

Sorry but I'm confused by your terminology. We use headhunters for certain positions and they do the sourcing for us. Their method is to work networks of people they know and seek possible candidates for specific disciplines/levels. But I've neve…

We had to do a WARN last year and even though our employees are represented by unions we still sent each of them a separate letter. I think you have a 60 day window from the originally posted termination date, but I'd check the regs to be sure. I …

Better check your specific contract language. The union can represent an employee even probationaries, if it is not excluded in the language. This implied relationship is supported by the union dues issue. In my experience it has been a "can" or …

Our policy has been to follow the attendance policy for incarceration, whether it's the initial arrest or trial sentence. Your Introductory period attendance policy is more lenient than ours. But if she hasn't missed any work (yet), I would advise…

Our industry requires background checks on everyone so there is no picking/choosing. But I agree with jitr, unless it is job specific I would either not do any or run them on everyone.

Our view is a layoff is a temporary slowdown or lull in business requiring a short term or temporary reduction in employees. RIF is a permanent reduction in the workforce due to downsizing or relocation of production or service capability, or parts…

Got a G. Neil notice today, guess that makes it official!!

You are correct madam! As it turned out though, the minimum wage was separated from the war funding but both have been passed and signed by the president. So the new posters are indeed required starting in July (I think). Oh and wages have to als…
