[quote user="TXHRGuy"] I had an employee with a seizure disorder who did things like that. After each case, she would have absolutely zero recollection of what happened. She would have no idea how she got to where she was and was strangely dismiss…

[quote user="HRBusybee"] As with other policies on the subject of confidentiality, our policy clearly states we cannot keep accusations of harassment or discrimination confidential, but reports of people smashing their faces into a wall? [/quote] Ju…

We have an annual Employee Awards ceremony. We have a policy detailing certain "classes" of recognition and descriptions of activity that would fall in each category. We have a catered event to present recognitions, awards, trophies, and medals. Bey…

Just as a FYI but not as an investment banker, a DUI in the state of Virginia would disquailfy a person for employment under the VA Administative Code you can't be employed with an EMS agency as a medical provider for five years.

[quote]Agreed. The people, professionalism and the depth of knowledge on this forum is really great. TXHR Guy, cappy, ITHR and many others make this a reliable and good place to go for advice. [/quote] I sure share some mighty fine company!! [:D]…

I am very pleased with this web site that sponsors this forum. I have been a subscriber for a number of years. The tools, references, job description builder, white papers and frankly the interaction I have with people on this forum have been inval…

I am not sure of what the state law of New Jersey may say however there is some guidance in the FLSA and FMLA statutes. Your question actually intersects both. First did you follow FMLA procedure for this employee's absence? Not knowing if the empl…

[quote user="IT HR"] What does your handbook or polices say about your disciplinary (PIP process)? Does it just state the process or does it give the company some leverage to change the process based on the circumstances/severity of the infraction…

[quote user="TXHRGuy"]Does Section IX go on to say how long the IEP lasts and why it even exists versus any other plain old fashioned period of employment?[/quote] Yes. The IEP for those that have additional field training such as fire and police an…

[quote]II. Employment-at-Will . . . is an “employment-at-will” state and employees of the City of . . . do not have a contract of employment. Neither these policies nor any other document constitutes an express or implied employment contract or any…

I would say that first you need to see rather the person is actually an independent contractor only in name but is in reality a worker. Here is what I have found. This is a reference taken from BLR Supplement: VA Code Sec 60.2-212 (C): A worker i…

[quote user="6375839"] Given the above response of "incapable of self care due to a disability", what about a situation where a child over 18 is about to start treatment & chemo. Condition is listed as life long and since chemo can make some i…

[quote user="tanksleyj"] This is incredible and frightening. I hope it all works out for you. I'm new to this site and mostly reading. The information provided here is invaluable.[/quote] Welcome! There are some really good heads in here. They …

This is incredible. Could it be that the offense was not something that is relevant to the position? What was the conviction if you know?
-
Are you serious? This would be like saying that the company is planning its own suicide. What managment would do that?
-
I have faced a similar issue. We look at this differently. We do not term the absence as maternity leave. We have a 'Modified Duty' policy that covers absences or inabilities to perform an essential job function due to medical conditions, injury, il…

I agree with "TX". Ever heard the saying no good deed goes unpunished? This is one of those situations. Though you may think you will be doing the manager a favor and give him a chance to get his act together, that could easily become something very…

[quote user="heather1027"] Hello, Thus far I have presented questions on this forum but this area I can assist. I put together a rather elaborate excel based tracking system for FMLA (regular and new regs both), attendance and other occurrences. …

Well folks I received an answer from the attorney. It is rather lengthy but I will try to post the really important points. All of this will boil down to [i][b]PROTECTED SPEECH[/i][/b] under First Amendment rights. There are two issues at play. Fir…

[quote user="IT HR"] Cappy - Any update on this situation?[/quote] Yes but not very much. The attorney has said what we all know. . .this is really new territory. However her first reaction was this. If the employees are engaging in personal bant…

Well that says it all! If the TX man has a one sentence answer and that is seek counsel then I guess that is the only thing left to do.[:S] I'll get back with you on that. [Y]

williger I to am sorry that any of your people had to see such a tragedy. No amount of words will erase that picture. I have seen more suicides than I care to remember. I have intervened in as many more. For management to say such callous things is …

IT You are married to very intuitive guy. Give him my best. TXHRGUY I was a suppression officer for just under 30 years. I am glad to hear that some have personal experiences with firefighters. When my wife calls me crazy again I can tell her that…

[quote user="TXHRGuy"] My brother says that they don't do any psychological testing for any position in their FD. He says "We don't believe in it." [/quote] He may have a point. From personal experience we don't want people that are too sane. [:…

Hi folks! Did any of you fellow posters with Fire Depatment relatives find out anything about the testing?

Sorry for taking so long to get back with all. I've been sick. Seems as if everything that comes down the road runs into me. [N] I am glad to see I share such good company. IT that is a good suggestion. My son is in the Fairfax County Department; ch…

TXHRGUY I posted a response and I have no idea where it went. Don't be surprised if there is another. I was concerned about how ADA would work with such a test. PD's all over the nation do psych testing. They are materially different from us due to…

[quote user="TXHRGuy"] ADA basically says you can't make any sort of medical query other than whether or not a person is capable of performing a job related task. If it is possible to be a one-armed fireman, than asking questions about two-armed t…

IT We talk with the neighbors and family to get an all around view of the community spirit an applicant may have. Reputation goes a long way. We do not ask direct questions involving spousal abuse though I know that the PD does. But there is a cave…
