  • I wish I could retire, but I'm only in my early 30's. I don't expect to be here more than the next 2 months. I will have been here for 3 1/2 years. I was hoping to work here until I retired. This used to be a great company to work for, now it's …
  • HR in Okla- How did it turn out? Unfortunately, the union was voted in where I work. Upper management is blaming middle management for the union being voted in. EEs are being forced out and others, including managers, are looking to get out. I w…
  • It is not a fun process. It is very tough. We are currently going through this. We are a little further in the process than you are. You may ask them to leave if they are on your property. My advice is to get a labor attorney now, don't wait. …
  • Sorry I wasn't quicker. The name of the law you are looking for is Rhode Island Fair Employment Practices.
  • Vent all you need. I've thought lately that I'm in the wrong field. I have a hard time dealing with the people above me. They don't listen, but expect to be heard and have their issues dealt with. I've only been doing this for 2.5 years, but I'v…
  • All I can say is wow that's some bed rest.x:o We have had a few issues with people out on FML also.
  • I looked up the answer to your question at [url]http://instanthrpolicies.com/articles/FLSA_guidance_pay.htm[/url]. It does have the answer to your exact question.
  • I've kind of toyed with the idea of writing him up. He is the top. The only people above him are the Board of Directors and my understanding is that they think he walks on water. It makes life very difficult here. Over the years I have lost some…
  • I want to thank you all for your advice. It is greatly appreciated. There are 12 supervisors here, including myself. I only have this problem with 2 of them. The other 10, including myself, follow through with their documentation and evaluation…
  • What type of company is it. I am in Healthcare and we have safety meetings as well as annual safety compliance training. Try [url]www.coastal.com[/url] or [url]www.gneil.com[/url]. Coastal is for the healthcare industry. G. Neil covers different…
  • We have a policy in place forbidding employee children in the workplace. Please email me [email]mmclean@bvchc.org[/email] if you would like a copy. It has worked for us for many years. It basically states that it is inappropriate for staff child…
  • Sorry that your company has had to go through that. Be happy she is gone. I wish you good luck with the next person.
  • My answer is no. We also have the verbal, 1, 2, 3, your out. At my company the warnings can be for different things. In my employer's eyes if an employee only got a verbal warning for every different thing they do, then they will never be let go …
  • Hunter I am so sorry for your loss and the family's loss. Death is hard enough without it being suicide. I just returned to work after attending a funeral today for my fiance's aunt. She passed away form congestive heart failure at the age of 65.…
  • I am currently in this situation. At least the asking for a raise due to being underpaid by industry standards. The company is not doing well and I know that I will not receive the raise. I asked about receiving another week of vacation instead (…
  • I have to say the my company is not very teamwork oriented most of the time. It depends on what it is and who it affects. As for my department, we work as a team frequently. Things wouldn't get done around here otherwise. I'm not sure whether or…

  • It's amazing what people think they can get away with at work. Did he think he would not get caught?! x:o No need to answer that. I'm a little stunned. Your lawyers are the best people to talk to. They will guide you through the best way to hand…
  • The latest update..... The problem ee is moving to a new department. Not mine. Her new supervisor is on medical leave and the acting supervisor doesn't know how to say no. The supervisor on leave does know what happened, she knew about the possi…
  • I have asked him to document things in the past as he has always mentioned the importance of documentation. I have asked him why he hasn't been documenting things and his response is "I'm busy and will get to it later." Later never comes. We have…
  • I just returned from my meeting. He mentioned having talked with the person near his level and said he was having 2nd thoughts about his decision. Though he did say she would have been sitting in his office and still answering to him. He claims h…
  • This is not a newly created position. It's a position that was vacated about a year ago and never filed due to budgetary constraints. This is just a slightly modified postion (includes one thing she is currently responsible for). She does meet mo…
  • Thank you both for your replies. Her manager is the Executive Director of D & O and he is actually 2 levels above me. He used to be my manager and then he promoted someone to be in between us. For most things it comes down to his way or his w…
  • I would discuss this with a lawyer to make sure you have all of your bases covered and can legally let this person go. You should be able to for misrepresentation. Documentation is the key. Make sure that the situation has been documented and kep…
  • I work for a community health center. We treat people with no health insurance, on state medical assistance, etc. Our turnover rate is currently about 28% this year. It was 21% in 2002 and 34% in 2001. Our funding has been dropping off recently.…
