I have this problem with my own teenage daughters. I am amazed at what the schools allow also. It would make my job easier if they would enforce a dress code! The basic dress code for my teenage daughters: Don't show cleavage, cracks, or underwear …

You were right to fire the employee, with the termination date on the day of arrest. Unfortunately, unemployment judges do not always see things the same way the employer does. Theft certainly is misconduct. Appeal the unemployment as long as you ca…

My understanding is that exempt employees must regularly receive the same amount on payday, regardless of the number of hours actually worked. Deductions are allowed for full-day absences for personal reasons OTHER THAN illness or injury (unless it …

I like winebarger's suggestion. Nice way to be proactive.

I would love a 4-day work week, and I think it would be a wonderful tool for retention. I have heard a lot about the move to a 4-day week recently, so I hope it catches on. Unfortunately, it is not something our owner will even consider. Our managem…

I just emailed that policy to you, I hope it gives you some good ideas. Of course I am always open to ideas also, especially if you see some major problem!

We used a variety of things to come up with our maximum errors allowed. Since we are a warehouse the errors occur when an order is picked wrong, not poor product quality such as in your case. It is very difficult to come up with an acceptable error…

We just recently wrote a new "Performance Expectation Policy." We don't feel good about implementing a policy like this, but felt we need to make the employees aware of the importance of paying attention to quality. Our policy has 2 parts: Minimum s…

I agree with the other posts. He is the one who pushed his attendance to the limit, and now his employment is in his own hands. Think of the consequences if you DON'T fire him: Every other employee with an excuse for exceeding the attendance will wa…

We use People-Trak for HR reports. Our payroll is all done separately. People-Trak is capable of doing more than than the basic reports and attendance tracking that I use it for, but sometimes I wish it were more flexible. I would like to be able to…

You should do some more checking on this one. If the employee is willing to use accrued vacation time, that is great. If not - I have heard of some churches that declare their annual conference as a religious holiday. Denying an employee time off to…

I agree with the previous responses about FMLA! Check first to see if she qualifies, then get her the forms to have her doctor complete. The school district will have to keep her health insurance active if she is on FMLA leave, although she will hav…

Rejections are never fun to hand out, but when I write a letter (if a personal phone call occurs, I follow up with a letter) I always use the philosophy: "Honesty is always the best policy." So if you have a hard time writing it, stop and think: Wh…

Sounds like a great deal for you. Whenever I look for an answer I scan the responses for your name. You always seem to have just the right answer. Good Luck! We will look forward to hearing from you again soon. Lorrie, KS

It does not seem right to require employees to return items they paid for. Do you really have any recourse available if they choose not to turn in their shirts? We require employees to wear shirts with a company logo. The employees choose from a var…
