  • I have not experienced a problem with this -- the use of a maiden name (or hyphenated name) is so commonplace that it is accepted everywhere. The only problem I am familiar with is with children and medical records. IO think there is still some conf…
  • And  -- I meant that I agree with Joy1 (not Californian) -- sorry - Friday afternoon -- losing my ability to concentrate!!!
  • Oh -- and I would tell them to cut out the texting on company time too . . . do you have a policy on that?
  • Might just be me, but it seems pretty farfetched that an employee who has only known someone for a month or less would conspire to borrow a phone and put in sexually harassing messages to herself, then not save them for you to see as the evidence of…
  • Melissa: What is your stated policy on postings? It is a pain to post for jobs that seem a natural progression, but consistency is the key here. The safest course would be to post the jobs internally and to interview qualified candidates, etc.  The …
  • Thanks for the info - so does that mean if we have an employee who is willing to help the union distribute fliers and talk to other employees in the break room (i.e., not on work time, but on work premises), we must let that employee do so?
  • BLR has a TON of information on this topic, trainnig sessions, reports, etc. on their website (but I think you need to be a subscriber to get most of it). I found a few things that might help . . .  • Usually the stressful situation is not in our co…

  • I agree with kyliefan - although we do have a significant number of hourly employees, I think the rise in minimum wage is overdue!
  • You can ask for recertification of his need for leave if it has been 30 days or more since his last certification. In the request for recertification, you can include a copy of the employee's job description. The Department of Labor also has a good,…
  • I think in Florida, wages include all forms of remuneration for an employee's services, based on time worked or production output. So, if vacation pay is promised by an employer practice or policy, it is included in the definition of wages. Then, if…
  • Hi Iris: From what I know, the Employee Free Choice Act will also  provide for mediation and arbitration during first-contract disputes. Under the Act, either employers or employees may request mediation of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Ser…
  • I agree that your policy should depend on your business and the amount of customer/client contact, or (in the case of tongue piercings) communication.
  • Hi Iris:  We have revised our leave policies to account for a pandemic situation, to provide for leave to care for kids during school closings and to utilize temporary telecommuting arrangements under pandemic conditions. Our policies are worded ver…
