Do you have a smoking policy in place? I don't think that smokers represent any protected class. If he is taking more than the allotted breaks...and is tardy to work, smoker or not, he's violating company policies and should be disciplined accord…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-14-04 AT 10:55AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Allergies to pets are pretty common...and pets are just about unavoidable in some lines of work...if it's not listed in the job description, I would revise it now.…

Are the accomodations requested by the dr reasonable? If so, it may be best to bring her back and begin to document carefully. If you terminate now, it looks like you retaliated against her for the WC filing.

I imagine that you have a sexual harassment policy in place. This person, if the accusations prove to be true, is in clear violation of that policy. Additionally, if you have an Ethics, Code of Conduct or any similar policy, a violation is also occu…

He's not even started yet and he's a no-call no-show for two days??? If this is a violation of your attendance policy, stick to that and discipline.

I always wondered what happened to people called for some of the long trials...like Martha Stewart...or any of the Enron-type things...I just can't imagine finding enough people that could go that long without a paycheck (beyond the stipend paid by …

We keep trying to find the "one size fits all" policy here too...and it just doesn't work. The fact is, those that do telephone work, must be in their seats when the lines open. Period. Those that perform administrative functions, especially for t…

Check with your DOL....it's probably even on the web page... PA does, I believe it's 45 days...

What kind of work do your ee's do??? I worked in a call center for some time and this would definately be a problem! If it's just an office annoyance, they may have to tolerate it.... I'm sure the coughing is much more annoying to the ee doing …

It's a workday for us too, but most requests for PTO will not be denied.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-07-04 AT 12:35PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Typically, we require a M.D. or a D.O. on FMLA certification....but for "I was out sick" excuses, we accept the form, as long as it doesn't look fishy. Many offic…

Our policy is pretty much zero tolerance as well...and we have a huge firewall that prevents such thing...BUT...having surfed the web with my kids doing reports and whatnot...I realize that a little typo can cause a huge problem. One of the ones I r…

According to recent court rulings, the answer seems to be "yes". But, having just been through it, I would encourage you have as much documentation in writing as possible. It would have made our case go much more smoothly.. i mistyped in my earlier…

We just faced a UC hearing on this kind of situation...an ee allegedly forged her dr's note...one of our HR reps called the office and was told that the ee hadn't been seen there for months, so based upon that information we terminated her. At the …

These types of questions should not be asked...for the reasons that you are now finding. Be prepared to prove that you did not hire this person based upon the answer to the question. I think you might be safe in asking if any personal commitments w…

and if the ee works out...you can hire right from the Agency. We bring in all of our entry level people via employment agencies...they have 6 months to get up to speed and become staff with us. Some we keep around longer....while it is a bit more ex…

We have a Travel Log in each vehicle that users fill out. It includes the odometer reading at the beginning of the trip, odometer reading at the end of the trip, the driver, any passengers, destination, and any maintenance issues with the vehicle. …

Odds are...his family knows the situation he's in...especially, if the company has been good to him (other ee's not mean or taking advantage). My brother and sister-in-law are both in a similar situation...and we will someday have to face the realit…

what we have done is adopt our depatment of transportation's exemption for pictures. It's a pretty strict standard that no one meets...so it's not been a problem.

Prior to traveling our ee's need to complete a request form..we've now added a line requiring them to sign verifying that they hold a valid license and personal insurance.

Hunter, I have to agree...this is a board for employers...and if it begins to go in the direction of providing advice to employees...it could become quite murky. If we learn that employees are lurking on the boards, we may be forced to be less cand…

PA does require that such conditions be disclosed. You must be seizure-free for seven years (physician documented) before you'll get a license here. It might be worth looking into your state DMV laws. Did you do a background check? Has she had any…

According to the handbook I have, exempt personnel are paid to "get the job done no matter how many hours it takes" and receive the same salary regardless how few or how many hours are worked to complete the job. That being said, I would suggest th…

I would be hesitant to put specific names in writing...but you could say "after 90 days if your portfolio has not increased by x number of clients, your employment may not be continued." This makes it a performance issue...you're probably on more s…

I'd be leery of playing psychologist...It may be worth looking into a firm or a local psycologist devleop a test and review the results for you....

I agree that the whole situation looks fishy...but let's try to break it down... 1. ee is fired (for cause, I assume). Then sends information that she's been harassed. 2. You try to follow up but do not receive a response from her... If the story…

I have to agree about the war paint....you would not permit someone to come in wearing a white sheet just because women are permitted to wear dresses....would you? continue to document and discipline as needed. You may find that you will eventually…

yes. If once she complained, she made it the company's problem too. If you fail to look into it now, it could be a huge problem later.

We send letters, even to our internal applicants...simply stating that we selected another candidate who's qualifications more closely matched the details of the job description. Sometimes being an internal interviewee has it's advantages and other…
