Begin with this ee as if it was the first offense....as hard as I'm sure it will be!! This is the penalty to be paid for not documenting. As Crout suggested use progressive discipline...and discipline everyone equally...it cannot be retaliation if…

I am a salaried ee...and I have to use PTO for anytime taken out of the office. I am paid a certain salary for the job function...not based upon how many hours I work. Therefore, somedays, it takes 8 hours to do my work..some days 10...it's just par…

Several of our departments (call centers, especially) have a practice called "leave restriction". The managers designed this to assist employees in maintaining a healthy leave balance and preventing leave without pay, which is an administrative nigh…
-
We don't have a written policy...but it is always our practice to not permit the individual to return to his/her worksite. While HR is conducting the termination, security is gathering personal belongings, which will be given to the individual. Indi…

You can't tell the EE in advance....if he/she runs and the police find out you tipped them off, then you could be facing charges of obstruction. NOT worth the phone call!!!
-
It really depends on the department....not what you wanted to hear, I know. But some departments can part with ee's for a longer period of time before it becomes "critical". Generally though, when you're out more than you're at work, it's excessive…
-
We do not pay maternity leave...we also try to avoid calling it that so it doesn't sound like it's something more special/important than say, heart surgery! However, the ee can use her sick time (whatever is available)for as long as her doctor cert…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-17-04 AT 08:17AM (CST)[/font][br][br]You cannot share this information. As hard as it may be...you must not tell the other ee's what you've been told. Hopefully, the former ee disclosed his condition…
-
It would probably not comfort you to know how many people are infected with some kind of hepititis and don't even know it!!! Typically, this should not impact his ability to perform his job safely. You may want to check with your local health depar…
-
Policies are policies. If breaks are only for a set amount of time, then you can start progressive discipline (after speaking with the GM)... We give ee's 2 15 minute breaks...smokers are permitted to break this into 3 10 minute breaks, if they pre…
-
I agree that the sentiment is not offensive. Prayer is nearly universal in religion...it may be called something different and not require being on bended knee...but the heart of the thought is the same. What would be offensive would be if the pers…

Now THAT is frustrating!!!! If the company provided the telephone and service directly, it would not be a taxed benefit... Any tax pros out there to explain????
-
Since you're talking about so few phones (we have probably 300 Agency-wide)...I won't share our company policy with you...but make an alternate suggestion that my son's employer uses. He has each employees sign up for their own cell phone service, …
-
I would be curious to read the law that forbids an employer to use letterhead to write a recommendation for an employee. The sex change does not seem to have impacted the quality of the work..but rather the nature of the work is incompatible with th…
-
My dad's school District offers a similar program, provided the ee has insurance elsewhere. It saves the district a ton of money.
-
I'm not sure what kind of industry you work in...but if you're hiring anyone that will deal with the public, confidential information, finances, dangerous chemicals, obvious or potential weapons...or any area that may put the company in some positio…

I should have placed a x:D after the xflash !!! I knew you were kidding!
-
DON!!!! xflash I understand why these questions could be valuable to the company...but once you have the knowledge...any action taken will appear suspect. Besides, any 1/2witted employee would tell you..."gee I'd really love to stay home, but re…

I suspect that if it is illegal to ask a woman these questions (and it is) that it is also illegal to ask of a man.
-
What if the information pertained to the Wiccan faith? What if it was from a fundamental muslim organization? We could play the what-if game all day long. The bottom line is that if you allow this door to remain open to your truth...you must permit…
-
do you have a policy about ee's doing fundraisers and that sort of thing??? external, nonwork related propaganda is external nonwork related propaganda. Since you may not know who the person is placing the "information" perhaps a business wide emai…

HR here falls under "Budget and Administration"...
-
Our flag has been lowered.... The DC area is closed mainly to accomodate the influx of people and traffic....It's nice to call it a national day of mourning...but the mandate does not reach beyond the DC boundries!!! Shutting down the nation for a…
-
Our policy just states "fitness for duty"...so a supervisor may send someone home for inappropriate attire or physical well-being...failure to abide by the request would be insubordination. A lot may depend on the type of work that you do...contact…
-
The termination situation is different in that the ee reported to work in that condition...and further proved it by having his drinks with him...so the termination in that case is easy. With the other one, you have his admission, and attendance iss…
-
I have to agree....a mandatory meeting is just that mandatory...those who can't cope can look for work. However, in the interest of compromise....perhaps one lunch 1/2 hour could be dedicated to meeting. A working lunch....I'm sure we're all famili…
-
Check with your attorney....anything that is stored (including paper, really) should have a written policy detailing retention times and methods of destruction. This will protect you in the event that records are subpoenaed and you don't have them, …
-
This can be a tough area...what is OK for a COO is certainly not going to fly for an average hourly ee. We tend to view these things as case-by-case. Some departments can work with "flex time" and others, such as our call centers, cannot. If you …
-
From a parent's perspective, I have to say that I would be insulted by this approach...and the assumption that if my kid is a problem, then I must either have been one, or be one too. Unfortunately, you will likely have to confront this on a case b…
-
If you don't have a policy detailing appropriate behavior this might be a good time to adopt one. Overall you don't have a whole lot of control about what ee's do apart from the company...but in this case the ee was allegedly in uniform...I can see …
