  • You know every "expert" has their own opinions on work history gaps and how to work your way through them on the resume/cover letter. Some will say to leave it off the resume completely & reorganize the resume into a functional style. This is …
  • Okay, a couple of things. First, why mention the women (female #1, female #2, female #3, and get-it-while-you-can-sister, female #4) - why not, male and female co-worker A, etc.? Sure, the females are the ones getting preggers, but when I attended…
  • Excellent - and thanks for letting us know the result! I'm starting to feel a bit under the weather - darn cold coming on - Office Space, a blanket and a fire sounds great to me too! Want to hear something silly? Our marketing person actually own…
  • Hi HRCalico I looked and I can't find anything that says it's a law, but then again the website for the state is hard to navigate. You probably already have this, but I would fly a call to the number listed in this link & ask 'em. Let us know …
  • Okay, I think I found something here: [url]http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/whd/whdfs54.pdf[/url] I would call your state's wage & hour division to be sure. There will be more work involved if you haven't done this before or make any ch…
  • Here are some links - I don't think so. [url]http://erd.dli.state.mt.us/laborstandard/wagehrlawsovertime.asp[/url] [url]http://erd.dli.state.mt.us/laborstandard/documents/frequentquestions.pdf[/url]
  • In WA, I can't think of how an injury sustained at the gym would qualify as a worker comp. claim - even though a portion of the ee's time there was compensable. It's a voluntary program, right? The company paying the portion of the time is only do…
  • I would terminate immediately and deal with the retaliation claim (as one would most likely happen here in WA state) later. He's a LEAD for pete's sake - he has the responsibility to operate equipment and his person safely & ensure that his sub…
  • Hi Safety - I'm sorry that the situation at your company requires a RIF. x:-( My experience says that if it's the company's first one this year, there will probably be more throughout the next year or two. Sounds harsh, but that's my experience (al…
  • Foxfeather - I feel for you. It's tough dealing with idiots - especially if they sign your paycheck. I just bought a house recently, so I'm one of those weird folks (I think it's weird, because a lot of folks I chat with don't seem to know their…
  • Geez, I really hate this kind of stuff. Puhleeze, people - keep it in the bedroom. Yuck. Hopefully the person having the adulterous affair is at least attractive so at least the visual in your head of this person saying or doing...what's describe…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-03-05 AT 04:59PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I too hesitate to respond to you considering your stings and attacks, but I will boldly go forward as you have. I respectfully, disagree with you. In no way did …
  • In reviewing my copy of the Washington State Employment Law Letter, August 2004, the NLRB did rescind Weingarten rights for non-union employees, but it specifically mentions these rights as it relates to a non-union employee bringing in someone duri…
  • Bye DJ - all the best to you and good luck with all of your new adventures!
  • Hi Henry - could you not use caps in the future, unless you are emphasizing a point, not only is it pretty hard to read when a post is all caps, but it comes across as "shouting" on the board. Thanks x:-) So, you have an assistant manager who's le…
  • Hi AZHR - this link might help: [url]http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/workhours/full-time.htm[/url] There's no federal standard and unless it's defined by an individual state (not sure if there are any out ther), it's defined by the employer.
  • Here's a link the state page for Mass.: [url]http://www.ago.state.ma.us/sp.cfm?pageid=1128[/url] There's nothing here that says you have to follow through with any type of severance package in Mass - let alone some sort of spelled out amount of $ …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-14-04 AT 06:46PM (CST)[/font][br][br]LisaMN2 - those are some doozies. x:7 Please tell me you have 2,000 or more employees assigned to your organization & not just around 250-500. For some rea…
  • Okay - I did some quick research on Michigan's Labor site & well, thank goodness I live in Washington State x:-). When I typed in Fact Finding Form all of the references went to Act 312 which seems to be about automatic arbitration/union stuff.…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-07-04 AT 07:14PM (CST)[/font][br][br]You know, I don't think your company has overstepped its federal funding guidelines - but I'm not an attorney & neither is the large majority of the folks here…
  • I'm confused dchr - is the employee still in the land of the living? The employee has an "estate" with an attorney & a legal guardian?
  • Yeah, I think you do SMace. Check this link out & look specifically at section 472.8. [url]http://www.labor.state.ny.us/business_ny/unemployment_insurance/uiemplyr/reg472.htm[/url]
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-03-04 AT 03:34PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I think I drank "fuzzy" water today. 3528101, you don't know what's considered "exempt" and "non-exempt", but you know enough about the FLSA to know the salary mi…
  • Hi 3528101 & welcome to the forum. The lawyers attached to this site don't participate much, but the rest of us HR types do & all we can offer is advice - the non-legal kind. That said, here's my question to you - are the salaried folks yo…
  • Our CEO belongs to a round table - when members have HR questions - he refers them to me & I help direct them. (All of the businesses have 120 employees or fewer.) I've thought about doing some work on my own, but what always stops me (and may…
  • DJ The Balloonman - I will miss you. You're a fine example of a HR professional. Good luck in your future & I hope it's so bright, you have to wear xB-)! x:D

  • "I was informed (by two hospitals) that I should use an outside vendor,as what I was doing was illegal and considered price fixing." Yes, it's illegal and considered price fixing. IF, you are working in collusion with other hospitals and pharmacie…
