[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-28-05 AT 02:52PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Popeye, I pasted the wording from the regs below. I certainly won't argue with your former company's experience, but my interpretation of this section is that it …

Popeye, your post said "Just to be safe, you may want to take a look to make sure that your EE did not work a lot of OT during the prior 12 months. That could determine if you owe them a few more hours of FML entitlement". Help me out with this bec…

"Sam", you're right, I'm in local government, and the position is a Plumbing/Mechanical Inspector in our Codes Department. He is not close to being topped out pay/step wise, and we do offer Longevity Pay for years of service. "Marc", these type Ci…

Scorpio and others, if you do a google search entitled "vacation pay in (your state)" a number of sites come up. Most say as has been stated above, that it depends on state law and the employer's policy. In Florida, it looks to me like your COO's …

Here is 29CFR regarding newspaper professionals. [url]http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/ESA/Title_29/Part_541/29CFR541.302.htm[/url]

This may be too late to help, but I would document the incident but not enter it on the OSHA Log--no medical attention was given, and lost time on the day of the incident is not OSHA recordable. Your WC insurance carrier really has no obligations s…

Shadowfax says it well overall. Any chance you can keep her but at reduced hours? Perhaps a 20 hour workweek that still included benefits would help you both. Maybe there is some department who has a special project they have been unable to get t…

Actually, Don, I was responding to Sam's post which said, "The question is: "Is it proper to assist the remaining orts from one's plate with the assistance of a piece of bread?" I was tempted then to nitpick the failure of her question to address t…

I believe the best approach would be to follow your dinner companion's style. If he/she pushes, you can push. Although, I'd draw the line at throwing food at the waiter just because your companion did.

Okay, guys, here is one of many sites that will tell you all you need to know and more and a bunch that will scare you from ever eating in public again. [url]www.elmira.edu/pdfs/campuslife/sife/etiquette.pdf[/url] Stick to office interviews for…

ALthough formatting our thoughts through written memos and emails is a convenient way to communicate to others, our attorney's advice is, "If you type something you wouldn't want to later hear repeated in a court room, then don't do it. Go talk dir…

Ok, so there don't appear to be any criminal charges pending, no newspaper headlines, no public demands for his head, a department head who seems willing to give him a second chance, and hopefully an employee who realizes his city job requires respo…
-
HRockets, is this now a criminal investigation conducted by the Police based on some charges filed by the bar Manager, or an internal City investigation to determine his future? If it's an internal investigation, I would like to think you would inv…
-
You say "The employee is a non-exempt employee and in a public setting misrepresented the city." Yet apparently this misrepresentation resulted in a police report being filed? Sorry, but not enough facts yet.
-
Welcome, our City policy says, "During the probationary period, an employee may be dismissed at any time, with or without cause, with no rights to appeals and hearing." Assuming you have similar wording, your choice has to be based on how serious t…

Honesty is your best policy for the applicant, but I'm confused about the incumbent's status. Does the incumbent know they're being separated yet? I'm assuming not or you wouldn't be worried about "word getting out". Why would you keep an apparen…

There are details missing from this post, but assuming your Supervisor didn't put them both in easy chairs for the past 4 months, then they must have been productive employees, and, again not knowing their medical restrictions, they may not have eve…
-
I would guess your PTO policy is the same for Exempts and Non-exempts. What does it say about "borrowing" from future accruals? Just be prepared to treat everyone who is out of PTO time the same.
-
If your policy doesn't count Labor Day Holiday pay towards the 40 hour week, then you can work Saturday and still be on straight time wages. Employees would get 48 hours pay for the week. If not, and the production is needed, then pay them the ove…

I had to check in even though it's Friday evening. Sad, huh! I appreciate no one ripping into me yet. I was afraid I'd be like one of Pork's hogs who steps off the market ramp, looks around, and says, "Hey, this place looks nice and clean and tho…

I feel like the lone ranger, but I do have a few comments. MB1004, your mfg culture may not work with such a plan; maybe your evaluation and pay process is so great and favorably received by both employees and management that such a change would be…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-05-04 AT 10:33AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Wait until you get the money. You are under no obligation to provide coverage until the former employee, or apparently in your case his new employer has satisfied…

Assuming "Director" is at least Department Head or greater, my math says 5.5% of 900 is 49.5 Directors which divided into 900 equals one Director for every 18 employees. My guess is you have some Directors who are responsible for many more than 18 …

If anyone is still following this post, we gave the employee until 7/14/04 to resign or face termination. He reluctantly wrote us a letter of resignation saying he understood our position but was innocent of drug use and was still going to have a h…

Don, I have noticed that a number of HR Forumites apparently have discharge responsibilities in their job duties, but my current culture is not that way, nor was my previous HR manufacturing organization. Hiring, disciplining, and firing, etc. were…

Just so you know, this employee's accident was cutting a piece of pipe when something went into his eye. He was not wearing safety glasses, which hopefully will be dealt with as a separate issue. He washed his eye out and voluntarily asked to see …

Thanks for everybody's good input. Here's where we are at for now. His Department Head has been on vacation till Tuesday, so we have suspended him from work with pay until the DH returns. Since he was near the end of his probationary period, we h…

ALthough I can't say it as eloquently as Pork did, I too would stay out of it until required. Perhaps this guy has an agreement with his supervisor and is truly performing duties. If he made it up the ladder as far as he did, he can't be stupid en…

As a fellow middle Tennessean, I am curious what your source is for us being "the meth capitol of the US"? That's news to me. Random drug testing is pretty well accepted in today's times, but it needs some analysis first (Who gets tested, how mu…
