My accounting manager, second in company longevity, has a saying about this stuff. "Don't priase me, pay me!" I am a capitalist at heart, and think that the monetary exchange is the core of our EE/ER agreement. Those that go above and beyond get …

The person on UI is cheating the system, but you feel guilty about it. Would you also remain silent if you observed them shoplifting or dining and dashing? Those are obviously different scenarios because it is unlikely you would be working for the…

Yes, DJ, you are allowed. Sad to hear you've have been (and are still on) such a bumpy road. No wisdom here, just sending good thoughts your way.

Well said Hunter. P.S. Don't you just know that somewhere in the background James is relieved it's not him this time?

"It boils down to this, please don't chase away other customers." I am a customer too. I currently subscribe to several products, I get a lot out of them, but I get the most out of the interaction on the forum. It can get a bit bumpy at times, bu…

It is not that the guidelines are inappropriate, it is that there are other criteria you are using that you cannot or will not share with us. The guidelines are fine. Implementing them with that extra mystery you referenced is maddening.

Christy, I must say that I have an issue with your statement. You posted: "Just as in HR, those on the receiving end of decisions may not see or know the whole picture and all the contributing factors that went into making a decision to leave or r…

Livindon - you have been very circumspect of late. When PoRk is selling the Safe program, even Gene was more acute in his criticism. I seem to recall that you effectively reined him in when he went a bit too far.

When you reference "professional" are you referring to HR content? Or do you mean something else? It is my opinion that the forum has been rather tame in the last several months - at least in comparison to when it's use was open to anyone. Since …

In order to use the full 12 weeks granted by the FMLA, the EE must have the intent to return to work, but you are ahead of the game at this point. As LivinDon pointed out, there are,no doubt, leave banks to utilize that are available to this EE reg…

You did not mention whether or not this EE would receive any kind of outgoing bonus based on performance. So, absent any monetary impact that is triggered from the review - I would agree, don't waste everyone's time.
-
Are you saying the person making the bad HR decisions was doing this as a ploy? Trying to saddle you with a lemon? Or is the candidate running some sort of con game? I confess to confusion.

Whenever I admit to cynicism, I deny it and call it realism. OK, so that the record is clear - I am very cynical. And while I am somehow also optimistic and full of hope in general terms, I often have a very low opinion of people. Perhaps that he…

Hi Shirley, I did not think that - just putting my opinion out there, which I view as another facet of the ways a person can look at these things. There is a reason ERs shy away from hiring people with a criminal record. The recidivism rate is way…

Larceny is the unlawful taking of personal property. It can be grand larceny or petty larceny and while I don't really know where the line is between the two, I would want to know more about this person's crime. It was 14 years ago, which is quite…

If it is against the law, call the police and have them show up to issue citations to one and all. One such visit should be enough. As though it will happen, this is one of those laws that cannot be enforced without the cooperation of the smokers…

That is a vivid picture! Almost sounds like a real experience?

I am basically going to stick my head in the sand about this issue (a significantly different place from the normal spot my head ususally is). We are a private non-profit with 66 EEs, 60 of them are women already. None as the result of a sex-chang…

Noted: "In the late Spring of 05, LivinDon and G3 shared the same opinion." Let the above event be noted in a banner on the Forum home page - immortalized!

I am also going to support the idea of allowing the resignation. The company is interested in combining the resignation with some sort of language that will keep this EE from causing harm in the community - circumstances under some sort of confiden…

What was it? Please let us know. Thanks in advance.

Hey, I have watched enough "Law and Order" to think that the crime to which a person is convicted is often the result of a plea bargain - so perhaps the letter of the conviction is not the reality of the offense. Just a thought. The statistics gen…

Good advice. In Nevada, the last garnishment we received for a subcontractor triggered a call to our attorney. He advised us to contact the court clerk, which we did, and explain that the individual was a contractor not an employee. Further, he i…

I do not think a garnishment can apply to payments that are not wages. There are other types of instruments that address vendor payments. The IRS levy can be drafted broadly enough to cover those types of payments, but garnishments are limited.

We use the County Sheriffs office and the Highway Patrol office. One does the State check, the other the Federal. Very inexpensive, which is important for a non-profit, but also very time consuming. It takes about 30 days for the turn-around, and…

We would terminate. Our company works with children and families. We would not tolerate someone with this background, not because of the felony conviction, but because of the sex offender status. That means the offense is of a nature that would…
-
What would be the purpose? If it is to elicit EE input, sort of like an electronic suggestion box, then I would want the practical outcome to be based on reasonable expectations related to that kind of activity. But, if it is just a way for EEs to…

We can grant an additional 90 days of unpaid leave at the discretion of our Exec Dir. Most of those unpaid leaves last less than 30 days. We do not guarantee the position or the wage during these leaves, and the prognosis must be that a return is …

This looks to be deeper than coaching on HR matters. Did the company evaluate her skill set prior to assigning a new department? I would start there, by emphasizing her strengths. How do they translate to this new department? What sort of daily …

I am not from Oklahoma, but I did not think it was one of the "no income tax" states.
