  • I'm sure one of the other Forum members can step up with a legal angle to your question...but I'll take a shot at the personal angle... The EE is probably completely unaware of your plans...so she has no idea that there will not be a department for…

  • The best way to handle this is to encourage her to return the FMLA forms...give her ample opportunity and reminders...all well documented...If she fails to return the forms...then follow your attendance policy. You should never contact a doctor di…

  • we've used mindleaders in the past...

  • we have 2 FMLA categories... First parental leave....we offer a total of 986 hours...26 weeks of leave. this can be taken in a variety of ways based upon the person's job and business need....for example...I'm working part-time Mon-Weds. The leave …
  • I guess it will depend on how your payroll is set up...if she is salaried, it will be easier...take her yearly salary and stretch it across the full 12 months...it will result in a smaller paycheck... or if you don't want to do it...you can tell he…
  • Thank you!x:D
  • would you be willing to send us the CD instead? Thank you!
  • Perhaps you can give ee's a choice of uniforms? Either the busty ones or the ones with long sleeves and pants. The fact that the busty ones may not come in larger sizes is not a discrimination issue if the manufacturer does not produce them at all …
  • Really, you've hired this person to do a job, and it falls under "other duties as assigned". If she grudingly does the front desk work and does it poorly, then you discipline for performance. If she refuses to do it, you discipline for insubordinati…
  • The other issue is the management of such a policy. If both parties deny a relationship...how do you go about confirming its existance? How much capital are you willing to invest? We've run into this time and time again...and personally, I have a h…
  • We've had similar issues. Your IT staff should be able to "block" his emails at the door. This will prevent current ee's from even seeing his rants. We have also sent letters to the former ee advising that they are to have no further contact with ou…
  • we permit our ee's to use headphones. This works well in our clerical areas...
  • We require that they have a current application on file...it's good for one-year...then they must complete the "job posting" form, which is just a short paper detailing why they are qualified for the posted position.
  • We have started to do two things that seem to have increased our qualified applicant pool. First, we've developed a relationship with some of the local colleges/trade schools and post openings with them. This frequently reaches not only current gra…
  • We do background checks on every applicant. It is more expensive, but it also helps us avoid interviewing a candidate that won't/can't be hired. Our application states clearly that we will conduct a background check and that while a conviction may …
  • I agree with Marc. Create a paper trail showing the you've provided it to each of them...and let it go. With or without that document, there is additional recourse when top people in a company behave badly, think Enron. The rank and file does not …
  • does your application state that falsifying any information is grounds for immediate termination? If so, you should be in good shape. I am sort of surprised that the PO released specifics to you though. Not that it would have mattered, a lie is a …
  • we provide certification that the child participated...most schools will count the day out as unexcused if it's not verified that the kid was participating in something educational. Further, many schools in the area will to release a student to "han…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-19-05 AT 07:13AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Only HR has access to ee's home addresses, telephone numbers, and other personal information. We determined several years ago that given the risks of stalking and …
  • He wants to hire a Nanny for his personal life and pay her through the company? That just doesn't sit well with me...
    in Nannies Comment by deniseE April 2005
  • We determined that the risk of an ee driving another ee home/hospital whatever is too high...we couldn't accept liability SHOULD anything happen...or should the sick ee, in his/her disoriented state do something to further hurt himself...we just did…
  • A girlfriend of mine once worked for a company that was very high pressure...each ee was offered 4 "mental health days" a year. They were REQUIRED to take one each quarter. She said this helped with burn out and turnover...

  • I'm sure that there's more to this story than the brief summary provided...but I would have to (within parameters of our policies) give some consideration to the fact that the EE did call in and provide the information. She could have simply called …
  • I think what you can do, is call the police dept. in the area and see if she has been charged with anything. Then follow your policy from there. Your ee seems willing to share these details with you and it's probably best that she is on preschedule…
  • we as an employer don't participate in the donation of $$$ or flowers for any event. However, it is left to the business unit, close work friends, and/or supervisors to oversee this sort of thing. We've had cothing collections for employees that lo…
  • I didn't actually see the movie, but what about "Pay it Forward"?
  • I don't know how big your workforce is or what flexibility you have...but maybe if there was some kind of incentive to "save" sick days...they would be more inclined to hold onto them. I've read reports that demonstrate that ee's use paid sick time…
  • we have the same issue (among others) in our building...it's old and sat vacant for a long time with a lot of water damage. it's worth it to have a company come in and evaluate and test...and if the results show that there is no mold or anything, s…
  • you may also approach it from a "fitness" for duty angle. Those that are fit for duty do not fall down repeatedly. If the walker makes this person better able to perform her job..then she should use it. She may feel that a stigma is attached to us…

  • Do you have any policy in place stating that any employee filing bankruptcy will be termininated? Or is a vague kind of policy? Bankruptcy regulations phobit employers from retaliating against employees who file for protection under the bankruptcy …
