Wondering - does this "highly regarded " person have any agreements with his present employer that would prohibit him/her from working with your company ? or limit the customers/contracts he/she can bring ? Chari

Can you set up your e-mail system not to accept e-mails from this ex-employee's e-mail address ? Kind of like blocking Spam . Chari

Thanks to you all who gave advice. I am going to wait until the Production Supervisor ( who supervised the welder )comes back from an install job, and whom I can trust - to ask him about the form. Aluminum Boy : If only you knew all the battles I …

Not knowing Spanish, I do not feel excluded when our factory employees speak to each other in Spanish at work or during breaks . They all know at least some basic English. Neither should they feel excluded when I take the Company's business clients…

PORK: You are so right ! The Policy ( for what it is worth ) does state termination , but it is out of my hands. The owners generally do what they want regardless of what I say. The GM is supposed to arrange for the Harrassment Training mandated by…

Search for an Employers Association for your county or area, ask if they conduct annual salary surveys of their members. Often enough, these Associations give the results free to those who participate. We participate in the survey for our area, and …

What makes this difficult is that the employee is "probably close to retirement" .I can't imagine that this employee would put his/her retirement on hold for the many years needed to pay the company back. Even if you give the employee the choice of …

Are you saying that you are listening in on the content of her personal phone conversations without her knowledge ?? Chari

To defuse the situation: keep the housekeeper in her present position, but to placate the General Manager - have the Company pay for English-as-a- Second-Language lessons for this housekeeper, and for any other employees who may also benefit. Cheap…

Then the new employees must be having the test done 2 - 3 days prior to starting work , in order to have a negative reading result within 12 hours after starting work. Correct ? Chari

Instead of the shoes, could it be the stairs themselves ? Way back, before I came to the States, I did work at a garment manufacturer - where the steps were narrow in depth and people were falling down, slipping , breaking ankles and feet. We all kn…

Don~ I am not condoning lying by the employee, but wondering if the employee would have been fired by the Supervisor anyways if he/she had told the truth? The issue should have been addressed via the company's attendance policy re number of days "ou…

Do we, as employers, expect our employees to tell us when they have been to a job fair? I don't. In this case, the employee lied and was fired. What if the employee had told the truth ? Would the employee have been fired anyways ? If so, the su…

Some companies may be more strict than others - follow your policy whatever it may be. I once worked for a company that had big signs in the carton warehouse, saying: " Smoke today, no job tomorrow " Chari

I just wonder why these documents were not checked as part of the buyer's due diligence in acquiring a company ? Instead of this being the seller's headache, it is now yours ! Chari

Take that annonymous letter- fold it very carefully, into the shape of an airplane ~ and let it fly where it belongs...in the ash can ! Chari

Put me in the Speak Up column, too! Document any such conversation in its entirety and head for the White House ! Chari

Golly- I don't know if your manual is within the law or not, but have a heart! There are many reasons why this employee may have financial problems- illness in the family , unexpected emergencies, spouse got laid off, etc...these things could happen…

Have a talk wih this employee about the parents complaints. Note everything that is said. 1. Do you have a policy about employees moonlighting ? If so, apply your policy. 2. Certainly, if an employee is falling asleep on the job - you can have s…

The young man had done time for drug dealing. We put him in a welding position. He kept his nose clean and his work was up to our standards. And if a person is convicted of burglary - a property crime, some twenty years ago but had gone straight a…

Beagle- At this factory we hired a young man straight out of the California Youth Authority, where he had been doing time for drug offenses. We knew about his past. He did his work well, stayed out of trouble - we gave him time off to see the probat…

Now the man has been a model employee, and there have been no problems with him, has there ?. The problem with ANNONYMOUS callers ( perhaps with an axe to grind )is the damage it can cause to people's lives. In America, there are many people who be…

Is this Employee honest enough to tell you when they find another job within the 60 day period? You don't want the employee finding another job right away and still collecting from you for the remainder of the 60 days. Stick with a flat rate sev…

What are the convictions for, felonies or misdemeanors ? Other than these convictions, is the individual qualified because of the certification? Or is the person disqualified by law ? Chari

When this ex-employee was hired, did he/she sign that a copy was provided to him/her at that time? If the employee did recceive a copy, and subsequently lost it - but did not tell you until after termination...In my honest opinion, that is too bad f…

Before you fire this guy , the star embezzler - maybe you better have a good replacement hired , aboard and up and running- so that the clients stay happy and don't take a lot of business elsewhere. Chari

Stick with whatever your Company policy says about the improper e-mail use. Period. That's it. Chari
