we don't have many "written" policies and have a list of 33 that are to be drafted and implemented...this is one that came up. I agree whole-heartedly with the difficulty of enforcement...and if such a policy is written, I believe equal time needs …

I would have to say that you may not test him; however, you can concentrate on the behavior and if it falls within the definition of "unacceptable" or whatever is covered in your policy then discipline based upon that. If this is an issue in your l…

We've done very similar things in the past...sometimes we tie it in with the flu shots (all ee's are eligible for one at our expense).. We've contacted some of the trade schools for demonstrations...they work inexpensively since it provides practic…

Although it's been said, I feel inclined to reinforce that this woman is CLEARLY suffering from some kind of medical issue. Perhaps side effects from the stroke, medication, whatever. But the fact of the matter remains that she is undermining the a…

Some companies do such reviews because they believe that poor money management in outside lives may either indicate such tendencies in the professional world OR be a clue about someone that would be more tempted to use client's/fellow ee's confident…

Don, As a rule, I agree with you, kids do not belong at work. But as we all know, life happens and sometimes missing work is just not an option, neither is leaving a kid at home unattended. The few times I've needed to bring him in--he was over 1…

I have had a few days that I've had to bring my son in with me. BUT he is old enough to occupy himself AND I have a room next to my office that I can "lock" him in. It's an office, so he's not going to get hurt on machines and we're a locked facilit…

When we established our "policy"...we signed on with our state police to provide the background information. Like your state PA seems to dictate what type of information we may and may not receive. If you go through another state agency, such as the…

Maybe I misread your post, but I got the impression that your guy failed to return due to a family emergency, not a "I can't find the perfect house" issue. I was thinking car accident, terminally ill parent...something like that. If that is the cas…

I agree with all of the prior posts...do not publish this letter....but you may be able to turn this into a positive. Maybe most of the letter is bunk....but since you publish a newsletter anyway, consider addressing some of the issues raised in the…

wow. I have to send kudos for creativity...but say that you would be on solid ground for denying the request. Unless you have some policy that could be construed as including such costs when an ee is sent to train out of state. Having pets is sort …

What does your email policy say? How would you address the situation if she stood in the middle of the workfloor and called for everyone to begin praying for her neice? i also understand the desire to be compassionate; however, such emails should…

I emailed a copy of our "blank" policy....please let me know if you have any questions.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-28-04 AT 09:08AM (CST)[/font][br][br]This may be a time for creative solutions! If the EE is this valuable AND is expressing an interest in staying with your company, I'm sure he realizes the financi…

This EE also has FMLA leave authorized by the same dr's office. One day out of each week, as needed. So they gave slips to her so she wouldn't need to come to the office every week. Here's what I believe happened...when our staff called to check-s…

Typically, our UC Referees require that the hearing stick to the sentence in the termination letter defining the reason for termination. So we cannot bring in other performace issues. In this case, it is "falsification of documents surrounding your…
-
Just an update....the hearing went much as expected....oposing counsel demonstrated quite clearly that we had no concrete evidence for termination...and that the "lie" really didn't rise to gross misconduct. It will be about 5 weeks before we have …

Don, the EE's attorney submitted his Exhibits prior to the hearing, so we are fairly certain, based upon the text of the exhibits that the office supporting the EE's statements. I didn't mean to give the impression that the UC office was investigat…

I would be concerned about the vagueness of "mismanagement"...what is the meaning behind that or is it intentionally vague so that it can be applied on an "as needed" basis. As has already been pointed out tons of reasons exist that could cause a …

We do not have a handbook...but our departments do place policies and things on the intranet site so everyone has easy access... we are moving toward an online handbook (however slowly) and have discussed requiring employees to sign a verification …

A lot will depend on the company policies. Individual state law may dictate how the employer can collect, but ultimately, the work policies will frame how much responsibility an EE has for destroyed equipment. The policy may also make exception for …

I agree with Shadowfax...the request for another interview day may not have been direct, but it was there. Since you've made the interview offer, I would arrange another time. If he is Jewish, remember that Sabbath begins at sundown--so a 7PM int…

I have a policy we recently adopted...I'll email it to you..

I always hated group work!!!! But, I do well in a group that is made up of people really working toward the same goal... My company...overall-NOT team oriented. We tend to splinter into specialties and groups and the culture works very hard to kee…

We have just put a "Project Management Office" into place. It follows a standard methodology for each project. All memos look alike, all reports... mindleaders.com has a pretty good course in Project Management-you can take it right from your desk.…

Check your state laws (and of course your policies-make sure the potential ee knows you'll be checking his background)....PA permits the review of criminal and driving history for any job-related issues. You may be able to set up a service with your…

I think if the EE's are outside in plain sight, and they act "suspicious" the cops are free to come and ask questions and search within reason; however, I believe that to burst into your property and search they do need a warrant.

Don-Thank you for your candid response! I believe that you and I share the same opinion of the WISDOM of implementing such a "policy"!!! :-S xflash

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-15-04 AT 11:29AM (CST)[/font][br][br]It seems that we believe that some ee's may be using the handicapped placard of their mother, husband, wife, to park closer to the doors. I guess we want to be sur…

When we switched to PeopleSoft earlier this year for payroll...we began including a detailed summary of employer paid benefits. This has helped EE's (and me) realize that although we are underpaid, the benefits more than make up for the $$$$. We'd s…
