  • We have a couple of similar programs. During the holidays, we are the middle man arranging family christmas gifts for income challenged families and community donations. We also do parenting classes for inmates about to be released. Lots of them …
  • As a recipient of charitable donations of this nature, I can tell you that they are both popular and appreciated. We provide a variety of services for children and families. Should any of you need a good charity for this purpose, we stand ready to…
  • Normally scheduled hours.
  • We define full time as 30 hours or more per week.
  • The opportunity for any EE to abuse a policy that reimbursed for stolen personal property are enormous. I would not even consider it.
  • One of the fundamental concepts around FML is the the EE's intent to return to work. Absent that intent, there is no FML. In fact, you can rescind the FML that has been granted and try to recover any health insurance or other group insurance premi…
  • Performance Improvement Plan. Basically instituting your discipline policy for the attendance and other issues this EE is experiencing.
  • What about putting him on a PIP until he improves those areas wherein the issues lie? At the end of the plan, if he shows the needed improvement, give him the raise. Then you are not perceived as rewarding bad behavior. If he doesn't make it - yo…
  • This does not sound like a question coming from an HR person.

  • I also work for a non-profit. One of our program directors has tried for years to get stipends to some of our teenager clients - she has come at it in just about every imaginable way, but so far - we have not been able to avoid reporting these as t…
  • In our shop, we only allow accrual if they are getting a paycheck through the use of leave banks. Once all leave banks are reduced to zero, no further accruals occur. To my knowledge, the FMLA does not require leave accruals. The Act does tell us…
  • Ray walks into the Lion's Den and with a steely look in his eye, walks right up to the head of the pride and pulls on his beard, thumbs his nose and says "Nanny, nanny, boo-boo."
  • Woo hoo - tax dollars. Don't ya luv it?
  • I think this was addressed a couple of years ago in this forum. If I recall correctly (what are the odds?), you can have someone indirectly involved in the process make that guess, like a receptionist. The guess can be indicated as such on the for…
  • I think this is more of a legal question. Lots of companies are trying to go paperless through the process you have described. It is my bet that we will eventually get there, but we have some hoops to jump through - such as having to produce doc…
  • It's your own fault. You know what they say: "If you want something done, give it to a busy person." For some reason, your bosses think they can keep you so busy that you have no time to post. What's up with that?
  • Good summation Mandy - By the way - good to see you post, it's been a while hasn't it?
  • I can't answer your question, but I would also want to know what kind of exposure the company has for an indefinitely suspended EE vs an ex-EE. As you know, there is a lawyer out there for everyone. I can't think of many scenarios that might demon…
  • That's a good point Larry - a few states, however, are now allowing the company to get that restraining order instead of having it be the employee. Nevada is one of those that now allow this. I don't know all of the reasoning, but I do know that i…

  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-19-06 AT 04:08PM (CST)[/font][br][br]edit: This is public information. IF they really want to know they can find out on their own. If the guy is out on parole, he has paid his debt to society with …

  • From Catbert - evil HR Director: "You are fired!!! Bwuuuuuuhaaahaaaahaaaaahaaaa." Practice that a few times in front of the mirror. It is incredibly cathartic. Then do the actual termination as others have suggested above. When you compare you…
  • BB - it's obvious even to you, that you have a mind set problem. In my expert diagnosis (I have seen several episodes of Dr. Phil, so I am qualified) you are running from something instead of to something. Your whole perspective is so balled up wi…

  • When it comes right down to it and you cannot deliver this paycheck, I think you have to void the check and set up the liability for these dollars on your balance sheet. Then when enough time has passed according to your State's escheat laws, you f…
    in Absent EE Comment by marc July 2006
  • Our application has a Yes/No question: If hired, are you able to provide verification of your right to work legally in the United States?
  • Do you instruct candidates to answer all application questions fully? If so, his N/A answer may not comply with your instructions. Who gets to decide whether or not a question is not applicable? I ask, because this story seems to have some slip…
  • If I could not pay on time, I would consider paying early. Run the payroll before she leaves and hold onto the checks. You can always adjust estimates to actual on the next paycheck.
  • My company does not have such limits, but my wife runs a child care lab school for the local community college. Her rules for her staff are straightforward and stictly enforced. "No butts, no boobs, no bellies." If any of these are showing, they …

  • It might be prudent to send her a letter confirming your acceptance of her verbal resignation along with her final check. No confusion then.
  • I would immediately begin recruiting her replacement. If you get that person before she gets her new job, then terminate her.
  • This issue has been addressed on this forum with a fair degree of specificity. Some research might show the thread(s). As I recall, their is a specific point in the transgender process for a pre-op to begin using the women's restroom. It isn't ju…
