  • What is your policy for the probationary period? Do you allow any sick time?
  • I'm with Whirl. Typically having somone else do 25% of job on a long term/permanent basis is not reasonable by itself....also not sure how big your company is but the cost of having a typist just for her could get expensive and therefore not be a re…
  • It is on it's way to you as you read this. Good luck with the rest of your policies/procedures!
  • Dependent on your specific issue I'm not sure a COC will do what you need but I'll be happy to send you a copy of ours (it's a booklet). Under my name on this post click the second icon and send me your address. I'll get it in the mail to you.
  • We have all of that and more covered under our "Code of Corporate Conduct" policy.
  • I agree with the analogy of bringing the containers in and we have considered that as well. Unfortunately, the restrooms where these have been found are on several different floors on main hallways so the task of monitoring these is not really possi…
  • Did you take them to the pharmacy yourself (assuming this is an external pharmacy and not in house)and exchange them or did you have a hazcom service do it? My problem is, I can't imagine doing it ourselves with 53 restrooms!
  • We have had discussion on getting it analyzed which will probably be done this week. We have been trying to do some observation but it is occurring in different restrooms (men's) on different floors. It seems to be done late afternoon (since the nee…
  • Paul I can't remeber what ours cost but check with first aid suppliers or Red Cross in your area and they can get you some prices. Once you pay the initial cost the only cost you have after that is the battery and pads. We just replaced one after 4 …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-27-06 AT 05:41PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Most of our HR people and maintenance/facilities people are trained (those that are comfortable with it) in basic first aid, oxygen, CPR and AED. We formally retra…
  • Here's how we ask all candidates at the time we phone screen or interview....."employment with our company [all of our posted jobs are stateside] requires that you have proof of eligiblity to work in this country. Will you be able to show proof of t…
  • It doesn't sound like you have required any type of doctor's note from her for accommodations in the past and if you have not done this on others or at least now make a policy for accommodations, you may get yourself in some trouble by now asking he…
  • Go into salary.com and look at descriptions then salaries for your area.
  • You hire past experience. Your not paying for the past experience. You are paying for performance. How they apply their past experience to insure good performance is up to them.
  • We are taking off just Monday, 01/02/07.
  • Nobudy's pierfict...everbudy macs misstakes!!! It's the rare one's that can catch them (even later), admit them and get them corrected! Once you do that, consider it a lesson learned and you'll probably never let it happen again! We had a similiar s…
  • The first question as noted above is..is it common for you to write letters of recom for EVERYONE? If you write it for one (whether good or bad) and then not others you could be setting yourself up when not treating everyone equally. We have a polic…
  • Is his HR even coming to him to ask the other side of this? If she is saying things that are false and possibly defaming his character with the company, she needs to be dealt with as well. If I were him, I would get HR on the phone and request that …
  • Based on porfitability of the company, the board decides how much year-end bonus is to be paid. For the past several years this has equated to about 1 to 1.5 weeks worth of salary that is put into a pool for each department. Then each individual man…
  • We've had meningitis (viral), head lice and hepatitis several times over the years (well we haven't but some ee's have!)and the faster you can get info into their hands on it the faster you can calm the waters. CDC on-line has great FAQ's on specifi…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-29-05 AT 04:41PM (CST)[/font][br][br]It doesn't hurt to have the Master's dependent on how high up the career ladder you want to go but it's true real world HR throws all the twist and turns at you th…
  • Ditto on the two above. MAKE SURE she can show proof that she has eligiblity to work in this country. The list of documents you can accept for this proof are listed on the back of the I-9 form. Check them carefully, I've seen some very good fake doc…
  • Thanks Pork...Good advise especially since it does the same thing without the ramifications of the contract although we have been lucky and not had any problems. I'll be discussing this with our legal to get in place.
  • We follow all of the above as well but we want a contract for several other reasons....we get it in writing what percentage we are being billed at over the actual pay (very important since we negotiate so heavily on this), we document what must happ…
  • Why live with him/her another year...take his/her age, subtract a year and get 'em otta there! It sounds like they are dangerous to have around.
  • There could be dependent on the job but it is rare. For instance, commercial airline pilots must retire at age 60 but this is mandated by the FAA not the airline company and based on(what they call)physical ability. You would have to prove that age …
  • Check your forum inbox...you should be able to reply back to me via that message.
  • Not a problem...just private message me your fax.
  • We had this very same problem several years ago. We put one into a cab and thought we sent them home only to have them show up again about an hour later. Hotel security had to intervene before we could and had him arrested. The other, at the same pa…
  • We have 8 designated by the company plus 2 "optional holidays" the employees can take anytime after pre-approval.
