when we increased the length of our workday earlier this year, we also increased the amount of leave available to compensate for the increased workday. so if you had 4 9 hour days saved (36 hours and the workday/week increased to 4 10 hour days (40…

Thank you Zen.....I knew that there was no good reason to deny this.....but the poster seemed to be looking for a loop-hole.... This case is a good reason to grant the request..and it's clear..which should help with reluctant management. I would a…

Although this kind of accomodation is not unheard of and perfectly allowable...IF you really wanted to get around it, you could say that he didn't request this when he started.... But as you've said...other accomodations have been made in the past.…

You need to be careful....the contract you have with the agency should state clearly that the consultants are independent ... that the taxes and all other withholdings are the sole responsibility of the contract agency....that benefits are through t…

I also imagine that you engage in some time of retirement benefit counseling...even if it's just when you'll get your retirement $$$$....he can't retire if he doesn't attend the counseling.... Do your ee's need to obtain approval for vacation useag…

We do have a clause that provides for the termination of any ee that interferes or impedes an internal investigation. I don't know that we'd ever had to defend it...but I'm not sure I would like trying.
-
It really depends upon your policies...do you have any governing "off duty" actions? If not, it doesn't matter WHY he called off...the only discipline is for the call-off. Maybe even improper procedure because his mother called...but that, as said …

GREAT News! Things do have a way of working out! You may also want to call the dept. of labor in the cities housing many of the evacuees. I saw a news report from Texas where they were holding on-site job fairs near the Astrodome. Maybe even some…

at a place where my mom worked...all the drugs were marked with a upc code...and they had a hand-held computer (like the fed-ex guys use) and had to swipe before the drug was taken out for distribution. I think the long term plan was to link the pre…

It is important to look at this beyond Pregnant. If it helps, call it a period of temporary disability. This person is the same as one who has a heart attack or shattered leg. Look to past decisions as well as future ones. If you terminate this ee,…

I also disagree....this is an employee and the appearance presented is a work-issue. Sometimes front end discussion and information saves a lot of headaches in the long run.

We did put those little triangle cards on the cafe tables...reminding them that it was not a resturant and that they must clean up after themselves. We placed butt receptacles in our parking areas and advised ee's that if the butt problem continue…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-22-05 AT 10:55AM (CST)[/font][br][br]We are working on a donation of sick leave policy...but keep running into an accounting problem. A donated day from a VP is more valuable than that of a front line…

I'm getting to this late...but I'd also like to add that it's not the employers position to determine which child/friend SHOULD be taking a parent to the doctor or helping them meet other needs.

"Our municipal code says, "nor shall any employee accept, directly or indirectly, any gift, gratuity, or favor of any kind which might reasonably be interpreted as an attempt to influence his/her actions with respect to city business." I'm not sur…

our policy is the same for rank and file ee's...but administrative support, such as myself, and other executive assistants, frequently work through our lunch hours....it's just one of those give-and-take situations...but it would not work for the te…

If she is afraid that she will be harmed in the investigation process (the accused is likely to know she spoke out)...she can seek legal remedies (PFA)...not that they are always of much comfort...but they are available.
-
What kind of relationship to you have with your Union Officers? We have had similar matters here, and worked really hard with the officers to show that these were matters that needed to be addressed and that it was bigger than one person...we creat…
-
Yes. The doctor must state that the ee is needed to care for the person. Not the diagnosis or duties, just that their presence is required. Even if an eligible person is placed in f/t care, the family member is still able to take FMLA. Emotional s…

Keep interviewing...you just never know...you may be turned down by choice #1 and need backups...
-
The manager of the ee generally cleans out the work space during the termination meeting. We don't like to have ee's back on the floor after being termed...too much drama potential!!!!
-
Then what do you do if you find that you have someone who is gay on your staff? No one of the same sex can be alone together? Patients are one thing, but co-workers should be able to do just that without a lot of legislating or policy-making.

There may be one more "angle" to your issue. Marketing is different than any other job function and it sometimes seems like Marketers have no morales...but really they are trying to sell a product and compete...and yes...that sometimes means bending…
-
I didn't think about it from that angle Don. Liability and RESPONSIBILTY are different things, I guess.

we had an ee with a similar item on his record...17 year old's stupidity...anyway....he was told exactly the same thing...and it never came up in a check until last year...and we've learned that it really shouldn't have come up at all... Sometimes,…

PORK you're just trying to get everyone all worked up and have this thread hijacked!!!x0:) :DD
-
I guess-overall-we're just fortunate...we have a number of ee's with many years of service and more vacation time built up...they generally take the most time at the "best" times of the year. At the same time, we have a very diverse workforce...and …
-
I have to agree...this ee has been focused on something else for quite a while and may not clearly recall the "timely" part of the poster. He also may incorrectly believe that he does not have a job to return to...it's worth a phone call or even a l…

my brother undid THOUSANDS of dollars of dental work with his...put chips and cracks in a bunch of his teeth...can't imagine that it was worth it...

The other issue with tongue piercings is that it does impact speech...especially when they are new. I'm sure your clients want to be able to understand clearly what your employee is saying.
