Thanks for you help SMACE, but it your suggestion wasn't what I needed right now. I appreciate your concern though. :-)

Hi everyone! I'm sorry I didn't reply during the day - too busy! :-) Thank you for all of your responses. I was pretty sure this request was standard amongst most companies. In addition to the reasons I originally state, we need to do it for …

(:| Ray - you're such a stinker. I missed you. x:* I did WAY more than copy/paste stuff - I gave you links! x:D

Hi LarryC! I hope all is well. I missed you guys too. x:-)

Hi Marc I'm not sure I agree with your statement and would love it if James or an attorney would pipe in here. I've copied information from the dol website: (b) An employer is permitted to choose any one of the following methods for determining …

I make the distinction between what's a good use of my time and resources (at company expense) and what is not. Chasing down anonymous complaints sent via email is not a good use of time. It's counter-productive to the employee getting "investigat…

I agree with Ray. x:-)

I couldn't agree more vphr! I too had not heard of this until the post and in doing some research on the internet I came to the same conclusion - it's just good old fashioned tradional discipline/good management techniques wrapped in a shiny new na…

Hi GLC So let me get this straight. You have an applicant apply for a job and in the process, they fill out an application. On the application the applicant asks that her previous employer not be called. Who agreed with her that no contact would…

Since you write letters to every applicant, why not simply stick with your original not interested letter? Something to the effect of: Dear So & So: Thank you for your interest in XYZ company. We are currently reviewing applications and shou…

Hi Open1 Yeah, I think you probably did fly off the handle - unless - you addressed her very directly after the first incident & told her what she did wrong and that if it happened again, you would begin disciplinary action. My guess is that y…

Yep an employee can be served at work - unless the company has a specific policy that prohibits the practice. Also, I wouldn't let the process server on the production floor, instead I would have the employee meet with the server in a private place…

Hi Parothead - interesting screen name! x:-) You don't need a policy for requiring desk manuals - you just need the owner/manager to say they want 'em. Desk reference manuals are vital for three reasons - 1) when the primary employee is out (sick…

Hi HRinGA I know her requests are getting under your skin, but pull back emotionally & look at this situation from an objective point of view. I never conduct my meetings regarding work alternatives over the phone - have her come in and meet w…

Well, we will have to agree to disagree based upon our prior knowledge and experience in the subject. x:-)

Paul - would you have her put up a picture of Satan or Osama Bin Laden? Like it or not, symbols, pictures and words have meaning to the beholder - that meaning varies by who's looking at it. Some may not take offense & others may take offense.…

Do all of the patients that come to her office practice Christianity? I think a neutral canvas is best if the employee is supposed to help everyone that comes into her office. Something small, a cross around her neck, or a bible on her desk is fin…

No, she's not entitled. Accept her resignation and determine whether or not the company would like to collect the health insurance premiums they have paid on her behalf since she's been gone.

Hi T I'm assuming that you have a zero tolerance policy for alcohol and drug use while at work & test for reasonable suspicion - written in your handbook. If you do, have the supervisor drive the employee to the nearest clinic and get her drug…
-
I've heard this for a long time and I've recently come to the decision that I don't buy it. I've seen some of the nicest most committed people in the world get cut from their jobs because they just can't do the job. I say, you need a combination o…

Hi Carol - welcome to the forum. We have a quarterly profit sharing plan that is based on the amount of profit we received, the employee's longevity and their base pay. Are you sure your boss is looking for a bonus program? When someone says "p…
-
Hi Paul I'm happy to hear that you're going with the majority - I would not require/request a waiver. As long as you have told the supervisor that this is not a company sponsored activity and have asked the supervisor to communicate the same the t…
-
I'm not sure why you are asking about a "legal" remedy, but I'll answer anyway. It's your company - if you don't want personal phone calls clogging up your phone lines, then you don't have to allow it. Let your employees know what the policy is re…

Hi HR IN AL - the website to bls is: [url]http://www.bls.gov/home.htm[/url] This is a great site for information - also, if your organization belongs to an employment association in your area, they may have the statistics you're looking for as wel…

How about National Accounts Representative? Or, National Accounts Executive?

Hi Paige Since it's a full day & at her request, I would deduct a full day of pay & leave her PTO bank alone. It's the cleanist & I would let her know that she needs to get her PTO balance up to cover absences. How much time did she o…

Has anyone in your organization, preferably a "higher up", called and asked to speak with the owner/president of their company? I wonder if the owner/president of their company is aware of this recruiting action? Also, I think I would follow up wi…

Hi Katy We have had a program called "Perfect Attendance". Employees that do not miss any work during the course of 1 month - unless prearranged/vacation/fml - receive 2 paid hours to use any way they please the following month. If the employee c…

Holy smokes kdspa - talk about moving the cheese! Of course, my thoughts and prayers are with you & your colleagues. I am very sorry to hear of your loss.
