Our Directors & Officers coverage includes an EPLI policy. We just found out that we also have a hotline available, 24/7 with no limit. I made use of it for the first time on Tuesday and had a call back from an attorney within my state with a fe…

Marc, I would be interested in receiving a copy as well. My Executive Director has indicated interest in a Wellness Program and I don't know where to begin. My email is [email]hr1@saum.org[/email] and fax # is 210-431-6470. Tks, Barbara

I'm not sure I know Don! I know they don't want to control something, more of a make something available. It's what the something is that is unclear. I believe it stems from a meeting that our ED and a program director went to where someone was disc…

I, like Paul, work for a religious based non-profit. However, we provide very public services and I work hard to keep everything neutral. While our Executive Director has a collection of crosses on her wall and I have a Bible on my bookshelf (among …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-19-03 AT 09:59AM (CST)[/font][p]I was in a similar situation about 10 years ago. Info was misleading, but I didn't have to deal with the ugly environment. The position was HR & Safety Manager, 80%…

Having just trained Discrimination & Harassment last week I recall my comments to staff. We all have different levels of what offends us. Our work environment needs to be unoffensive to the lowest common denominator, so to speak. It's not approp…

My Executive Director uses the phrase frequently. It is often used to imply "why bother". She also knows I hate it. Sure sone people will take advantage - that is human nature. But most don't and it gets to where it sounds so pessimistic.

I just tested the link and it worked. P.S. It is 34 pages.

I have an in depth article I printed in February off the Workforce website. This is the address accross the bottom of the printout. If it doesn't go straight to it, just try going to [url]www.workforce.com[/url] and do a search for HR Audit. [url]h…

I basically agree with Don and Ray, but have on occasion given a reason. If I have been impressed with a candidate but they lacked something specific such as typing speed or a specific software experience, I have told them that information if they a…

We pay by the name on the SSC and require it to changes names. We have employees being paid under a name that they have not used in many years, because they don't take the time to get their SSC changed. Go figure!

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 states that it shall be an unlawful employment practice to discriminate against someone on the basis of race. Many people mistakenly think it spells out certain races. It doesn't. As stated above, this is di…

I would appreciate a copy. My fax is 210-431-6470 or email at [email]hr1@saum.org[/email] Tks!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-14-03 AT 04:10PM (CST)[/font][p]As mentioned above, you as the employer can make the call. Just be careful when you set a fairly strict requirement such as no neckline below the collarbone, that you e…

Pork, I am impressed. You have obviously worked hard and smart and deserved the biggest bonus!!!

Well if he does take action that slows/hurts production, then the owners may see the light. It is amazing how the pocketbook affects decisions!

Hey Lori - it's Barbara. We had very similar senario. Last August we began providing the after school care program at a Christian school. We followed exactly what you did when you interviewed. Candidates were told that the curriculum would contain C…

We haven't had to. We have only had 3 employees sign agreements and all have stayed beyond the year. We have alot of training in the summer that a large number of employees attend, but we absorb that cost. We do lose some after training before we be…

Depending on the cost of the training, we have employees sign an agreement. It has never been as much as yours, and I would definitly utilize one in that situation. Ours states that if an employee leaves within 3 months they repay all of it, 3-6 mon…

Just when you think you've answered the question properly, they go and change the question on you! It never ends.

Also, point out to your boss that retaliation is involved. The fact that the schedule verifies her claim can be very fortunate if you act on it (and yes, unfortunate if you don't). Terminate on the basis of inappropriate behavior and retaliation. Wh…

AMEN!!!

I have recently asked our attorney this specific question. She said that as long as HR wasn't generating the actions, we should be okay. We have about 200 employees, but only about 35 here at the office. As mentioned in other posts, everyone knows w…

What does the 4th of July, Memorial Day, New Year's and Labor Day have to do with religious beliefs. I would try to show him the value of some benefits in terms of retention as mentioned above. Do you have exit interviews or information from previou…

If you do get a subpoena and decide to produce the info, you might try to produce without identifying individuals. Such as officer #1 at $XXXXXX salary was reduced to $xxxxxx. Provides info to show employee wasn't the only one without revealing othe…

I think you can meet with her and tell her you understand the commute is not fun, you've done it. However, these are the hours she is expected to work and then spell it out to her. Regarding childcare, remind her that you have been understanding in …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-07-03 AT 05:35PM (CST)[/font][p]I asked my assistant to resign in January or I would have to term her for tardiness. It was hard because she was great in so many other ways. I don't even count less th…

Hang in there Zanne and just tell yourself there are rewards to being so nice. We just don't always see them!

I feel for you! My new assistant has been out several days, but at least they've been scheduled. There was end of year activities with her children and then new house issues - the walk through, the re-walk through, the closing, the closing after the…

Zanne, Any chance there is someone else in the company that could pick up some of the slack? (I know that is hard with HR duties) Or a temp as mentioned in another post. But if someone else was eager, she also might get a little possessive of her jo…
