We have included in our 'travel' policy: "Employes traveling on Bank business are representatives of the Bank and are expected to maintain a high level of professionalism and follow all of the Bank policies and rules." This could be adapted to any …

My understanding of the W&H law is if you ALLOW a non-exempt person to work, they must be paid. You say they volunteered, but would they have gone if they DIDN'T work for you? Is the knowledge they gained useful in their job? ...If not, why d…

I don't see a problem with asking them their plans as long as you don't try to hustle them out the door. We request that our employees give six months notice before retirement to give us time to replace them. I have one who was nice enough to dela…

If your state is anything like ours, they won't accept anything that 'would have happened if...' Stick with your original reason. He tendered his resignation... after a week to think about it, you decided it was in the best interest of everyone in…

We use a 'generic" evaluation form. The first part addresses general work habits such as initiative, attendance, teamwork and the second part has a place to list 'tasks' from the job description. Every employee signs their job description so they …

We generally add non-competes to severance agreements and (1) limit the time and (2) limit the scope... Such as "for a period of six months from termination, he/she will not directly or indirectly solicit business from any customer of ..." We also…

When Ivan hit Ohio (Yes, we had 9" of rain in 24 hours, millions of dollars of flood damage, houses swept down the creek or river and state and local roads washed away) we gave employees the option of (1) spending the night at one of our facilities …

What she does on her own time, unless it blatently affects the company's reputation, is none of the supervisor's business. How many people know about her past work history? If it's not generally known (and it must not have been, if the superviso…

This sounds a lot like the United Way's Day of Caring. We encourage employees to participate and pay them their regular wages for painting, sorting clothes, cleaning and other tasks at United Way agencies. I really like the idea of promoting the c…

Most businesses (ours included) have pay checks that reflect a future date. We choose to make those checks available ON the pay date instead of before, but I'm always thankful that my husband's employer sends his check out in advance and we can cas…

Janet, I would look at the overall atmosphere in the department. If the manager and employees won't work with each other, is there an underlying problem? These people have to work together and can't have hostility toward each other. You mention…

I often see tellers wash before using the facilities and not wash after. Guess they think money is dirtier than S..tuff. Try putting up a hand sanitation station in or near the restroom. Many people who won't take time to wash with soap and water…

Pork, Thank you for bringing this up. It's very frustrating when the post changes. James, I vote with Pork!

A few months ago I was posting an ad on Monster. The rep offered me the opportunity to look at resumes and said "I even have one from your town." It was one of my employees. The good part is we got a heads up on his leaving. I've had the best r…

What does your policy say? Ours allows one 15 minute break in the middle of every 4 hours worked. If you have scheduled department breaks, I would explain to the employee that they get one break... either 15 minutes prior to everyone else's break,…

Once upon a time, several employees called me because their manager was prohibiting them from putting overtime worked on their timecards. I made an immediate trip to their location and met with each one individually and as a group, explaining their…

It sounds like your mother has been there a while. That can make it difficult for her to look at other options (other shops), as I'm sure she has her clientel and comfort level even though she is not happy with the working conditions. Unfortunatly,…

In our initial interview we ask, "Are you able complete the basic duties of the job, with our without accommodation?" Some applicants then ask about the basic duties. Some will ask if there is lifting or bring up concerns. And as Pork says, if th…

Have you thought about hiring back those people you just laid off? Are they still available? If they are the same jobs, it would make sense to hire the employees that have already done that work. If you would not rehire them, then the RIF was a…

HR's got you covered!

This law amends the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). It gives older workers protection with respect to waiver and release agreements and prohibits discrimination in the administration of employee benefit plans. (Ohio and Federal Employm…

Ours are allowed to take the amount they would accrue in the first year. If they resign with a negative balance, we deduct as much as we can from their last pay. If they end the year with a negative balance, we deduct those days from the next year…

The only way to deal with this is to be direct. Take the offending employee into a private area and explain that you have noticed they (sometimes/often) have an odor that could be offensive to their co-workers. Make suggestions on how to solve the…

I looked into this briefly last year. As I recall you cannot attach a 'value' to the days donated or it messes up the taxation. A day is a day, whether the person donating it was making $10/hour or $50/hour. I decided to not go forward with the …

My husband's company ties life insurance to seat belt usage. If he dies in an automobile accident and does NOT have his seat belt on, the insurance only pays $1,000. With the belt on, it pays $25,000. ...Disclosure notices were sent to the house …

Our policy just says employees are prohibited from driving when they are mentally or physically impaired - including temporary impairments such as being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Our insurance also only covers those with clean drivin…

Welcome, drorlando. I'm not from Fla, but I think you'll find a lot of good advice and comraderie in the forum from all over the country.

Does the EE in payroll have access to hourly rates or payroll reports? I'm not familiar with Kronos, but our system brings up the hourly rate when we go to input the hours. ...In which case the payroll EE already has access to that information. …

We are a financial institution with 150 employees. We moved from vac/pers/sick to Paid Time Off several years ago. Employees accrue PTO on a monthly basis. At the end of the year, any remaining days change to Carried Time Off (CTO). This is for a…

Eve, I've been in that same situation a few times. I explained to the exec that I could not ignore the problem and suggested ways I might address it without indicating who brought the complaint to my attention. The compainant agreed that something…
