Our payday is Thursday, and we never release the checks prior to that day. If Thursday happens to be a Holiday, (Thanksgiving)then we pay on Wednesday, however a direct deposit might not be available for ATM withdrawl on Thursday. What used to fro…

I agree with Vance, and when we received a similar request, we agreed with the provision that the Union would use the list only for union related matters, such as local / national mailings. The agreement states that they cannot sell the list for no…

As we all can say - "10% of the workers cause 90% of the problems. I have not read the other answers, but pay close attention to company rules & regulations. Keep records. If he violates, take immediate action. The biggest problem(s) I had w…

My quick answer is - this is not harassment, however, I can understand how the employee would be upset. I have heard of these tickets prior, and I have not read of any tie-in to vandalism. With that being said, it is an example of how freaked out…

I feel that there are two important elements in this case. 1. Has the individual been warned prior about this Policy, and her Violations. 2. What was she sending ? Was it confidential information that could affect the Company in a negative way ?…

Age old problem. In our factory, we had a similar problem, and as a resolution, we installed large air circulators while at the same time, banned the use of personal fans. Note that the Factory was not air-conditioned, (Boston, Ma.). My sense is …

My recommendation is that you sit the ee down when he returns to work, and inform him that you are accepting his resignation, even though it is open-ended, pay him two weeks, and thanks for the memories. If you kept him working, you would receive l…

Just as presented, it sounds as though the employer is bring rather harsh towards this employee. The core quesion seems to be - Can the employer make a reasonable accomodation for this lady ? Can she still perform the essential functions of her jo…

I, for one, was called Personnel Director an I was quite pleased with that title. I frown on use of the term Human Resources, since from my experience, there was very little development of the "humans" who diligently worked. This is akin to use of …

Prior to reading any of the responses - Had a very similar situation, voices, etc., Even to the extent that the ee inflicted damage to himself. Both the Plant Nurse & I spoke to his Psychiatric counselor, and passed on our concerns. We did not…

My experiences with this arrangement have lead me to accept this as a valid address. I would add, that we ask our employees for emergency notification information (who to contact in event of an accident). If the individual refuses to respond, then…

As a 2nd reply, If one claims 9-10 exemptions, and you have no knowledge of why they are claiming such a high #, put it thru the payroll system, and at the same time send it to the IRS with a note, copy to employee, asking the IRS to validate the W-…

I feel lucky in that I have a Tax background, which is very helpful in this line of work. In this particular case, I would recommend that you hand the employee a 2nd W-4, and inform him that in accordance with the IRS instructions as you understand…

We simply have an assortment of standard packaged medications available (Advil, Tylenol, Aspirin)that we leave out in our 1st Aid room, for our employees to obtain as needed. Never had a problem, etc. Just as a comment, the standard reaction to o…

Interesting in that I dealt with this issue just this week. Our approach always has been that we will let our plant nurse (female)deal with the Ladies. If it is a male, then I, as the Personnel Director, will deal with it. Initially, I talk to th…

With a two week employee, absent any discriminatory angles, "just do it". Rarely would one be called to task for terminating a 2 week employee. Some hires, just do not work out.

By the way that I read your question, you seem to imply, that there are a high number of Jewish Holiday's. My sense is that for most, they celebrate on two days away from work, per year If they are Orthodox, then there may be another day or two in…

Like the other comments, sounds like you are on solid ground. Only comment is - How long did this person work for you ? If it was less than 1 year, then I would say that you are very solid. If it was more than 1 year, then a paper trail might be …

I am not sure of the reg's on this, but I agree with an earlier reply that Seasonal, needs to be defined to a specific season. Putting aside the regs, you are engaging in a bad employment practice, that will cause you trouble down the road. I assu…

Wonderful replies.. My favorite quote - "The Good Lord put us on this earth to help one another". Also, from "Life's little Instruction Book" (#85) - Never encourage anyone to become a lawyer. Cheers,

In reading this quickly, 1st thought was that you were set-up, especially concerning the recording device. My understanding is that one cannot record the other parties conversation without their consent. Therefore, You need to check with your lega…
