Employees can take a personal day to attend a non-relative funeral/wake.

The abuse comes from not notifying their supervisor and take five days when it should have been three.

She exhausted her FMLA leave in October and is due at the end of March. MA leave comes into effect the day she gives birth. She has had excessive absences and her work has been suffering for quite some time. She was to be terminated, and then ab…

Our policy reimburses up to $2500 per year and so we don't bother trying to collect it back from terminated employees. It'snot worth the hassles and the fees for such a small amount of money. I would imagine, though, if your policy is more generou…

How many times has this occurred? Is it affecting his performance or the group's performance? Is he out of vacation days? Has he been spoken to before about this intolerable behavior? Are you allowing others to do the same? You should definite…

I agree. Some sort of surveillance measure would be much more effective and you wouldn't have to constantly re-key the locks.

It seems odd to me. I have close friends in the HR departments of both Merrill Lynch and Google and they have never heard of paying for interviews. In fact, they both said that they have a difficult enough time scheduling all the excellent active …

We figured it out. All is well again. Thank you. [H]

I have worked for several Fortune 100 & 500 Companies and at each we had exempt employees on flex time. The FLSA issue is with the duties of the position. I would go to the DOL site for more specific infomation.

The supervisor is overseeing salespeople and is constantly yelling insults and swearing at them. He changes objectives constantly without communicating them and then when his sales person doesn't do what it is he expects them to do because they don…

If it will help your employees better understand HR issues and benefits, it could be worth it. How much is the software? How many employees are you dealing with? Are any of them fluent in English? If so, it may be better for you to use one of th…

We have never tried to recover benefits from a non-returning worker as we have maybe one or two a year who do not return. T he amounts are not that great to put in the effort to recover a few hundred dollars. Quite often, the employee's reason for…

This is an issue we are deling with as media is a very "young" workplace. We have had a great deal of training and invested time in teaching managers to coach employees and have a more participative environment. Unfortunately, this generations' pa…

I'm not sure you have a "duty" to follow up on a rumor since if you followed up on every rumor, you'd be doing nothing but that. The bigger issue is knowing whether or not th employee has legitimate working papers. How he got those papers is none …

[quote user="IT HR"] Have you looked that the Power point presentations/training here on HR.BLR.com? They have a lot of different options including sexual harassment, supervisor training, safety, etc. There are also audio trainings that you can h…

I have a Masters in Social-Organizational Psychology, but I really don't think you necessarily need a degree to practice HR. Most of the HR people I have met at the generalist/manager level have business undergraduate degrees. All of the director/…

We have a system where an employee emails both the supervisor and HR in addition to calling his/her supervisor and leaving a message. Once they return from their sick day, they are required to log it in our online attendance tracking system.

If you're not trying to show some work product, I'm not sure that a website is so useful. Also, I always find it strange when applicants put a photo on their resume. I work in media, and it's really not that unusual for talent to do this, but for n…

Many applicants, especially in the graphic design & journalism fields, have personal websites where they locate work samples and portfolios. Since we generally ask for samples from these sorts of people, I absolutely check out their websites be…

You'll need to check your state law, but I think if it is part of due diligence in an acquisition, it should be fine. We usually ask for employee resumes from companies we are acquiring as part of the due diligence process. E.

We're in midtown Manhattan and as far as I know not near any known nuclear power plants, manufacturing site, or hospital. Our building consists of law offices, sentaors offices, consulting firms, and other service-based companies. Thanks everyone fo…

In New York, you can ask an employee to leave the day they have given notice. Some organizations will still pay their employees through the notice period regardelss of when they are asked to leave. In other cases, if the employee is going to a com…

I'm not 100% sure, but the breaks may count as intermittent FMLA leave during which you would not need to pay the employee. If it is a disability issue, then you may need to pay her.

We too had the coffee (and milk) problem. What we did is get rid of the traditional coffee maker and purchased a Flavia beverage system (one that makes individual cups of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc.). It has actually been more cost effective …

Go with your gut... I would be hesitant to hire someone with ANY conviction, but especially a violent crime conviction. I spent a summer as a clerk in the county DAs office during college, and while that certainly does not make me an expert, I did …

I know it is an unusual situation to have standing water on the floor of your warehouse, but he was not required to wear $200 footwear to work. It was his choice. It is truly unfortunate that his boots were damaged, however, what if it had rained …
