  • I just read it too Balloonman & I completely agree with your take on 360's.
  • I agree with Beagle. This issue is solved in my mind. In order to cover potential liability issues, document the exchange, the outcome and the decision of the female manager not to proceed with an investigation. As to the president and the other …
  • Hi rfrettoloso - What does your HR department have to say about this issue?
  • I've checked out your state laws, so you are not required to pay vacation if the ee term's unless it's in your policies to do so. Here's the link: [url]http://www.hr.state.ks.us/home/html/ffaq.htm[/url] That being said, does your company have a p…
  • Here's a link to the Florida Highway Patrol: [url]http://www.fhp.state.fl.us/html/Floridalaw/fllaw.html[/url] From this link, it does indeed appear to be a law to buckle up. Even if it wasn't, but it's your company policy, I would not mess around…
  • We do the same as Balloonman. At issue really is whether or not you cut and sent the check. Sounds like you did & delays with the mail are outside of your control.
  • We complete some of the paperwork & highlight the areas that the ee's need to complete. For instance, we complete the group name, ID, Group information (date of ee hire, entered eligible class). We complete the ee information and the prior c…
  • Write him up - don't hesitate. You have four witnesses that heard him say it and are willing to say they heard him say it. Write him up. His concerns about hearing it in past are just that - the past. Tell him that in the future if he hears anyt…
  • Hi Marc - unless you can get everyone on board, it will be an uphill battle to keep this from happening in the future. At my company, we really cracked down about 14 months ago - even went so far as to have folks sign a document & added it to t…
  • Hi goneal - it just so happens that I covered this recently with some new hires. They were balking at the idea of not being able to use their cell phones at work with the typical excuses of: But what if I had it on vibrate? But what if I answered …
  • Hi Ethel - you need to look at your health insurance contracts and see how they define a spouse & whether or not your company allows domestic partner coverage. This is where your answer lies, not in trying to figure out how to get proof of comm…
  • allifofallyaz - don't know what your industry is or what the local scene allows, so can't help.
  • You are asking the question on the behalf of the employees that are complaining? We are a bunch of HR professionals, but we are not your company's HR staff. You're going to have to go to your COO. Quite simply, you don't need to state this inform…
  • "We have spoken to her several times and I think that is where this all came from. When she was first hired she had some issues following procedures, we addressed that, then we had to talk to her about dress code several times, we have had to talk t…
  • Geez, I know companies do this (monitoring), but I really hate it. Without technology, you already have enough information to either counsel her or let her go: "has made that quite known by making comments to other employees that she hates it here…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-03-04 AT 07:01PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Our HR office area (we have an open office format) is "right smack in front". I love it, but then I love our office setup, not sure how I would feel at another co…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-02-04 AT 04:59PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I'm not aware of training in NJ, but I can recommend Keystone Learning Systems (and I don't get paid a DIME for making this recommendation x;-)). I order all of m…
  • I agree with Don. I haven't been doing them as long as he, but in the 10 years I have (on and off) I too believe they are a waste of time. When people leave voluntarily, the only thing I want to know is if it's something we did, so I simply ask, "…
  • Dang! I usually never agree with Pork - but he's right on & I couldn't have said it better myself.
  • then tell the supervisor to go stuff himself with a carrot stick. x;-) If you don't have any weight restrictions established and the risk has not been previously identified, then you're out of luck this time around. First, the appraisal is not th…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-01-04 AT 07:00PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Oh geez! I missed post #19 - so, I was right, although late in the process Parabeagle. To the original poster: Why don't you skip the overnight cruise and opt f…
  • "Pork: Thanks for your info. I appreciate you perspective on the matter. We hadn't realized that might be a problem. The cruise is over a Friday and a Monday. We were planning on paying them for those days, but maybe I'll have to check on whether o…
  • Let me get this straight - your company wants to have a cruise as a way of saying "Thank you" to all of your employees, but only those ee's that are married get to bring a guest? This is bad news & will wipe out the good you're trying to do in …
  • Good catch Cinderella - thanks for the clarification - exactly what was needed x:-)

  • Hi mrsbowden. Here's a suggestion: How about, "This position will frequently interact with clients that are influential within the community. Mostly, these interactions will be positive. However, there will be times when that is not the case. …

  • Hi there & welcome to the forum! You can find information on WLAD on this site and specifically FAQ's on disability: [url]http://www.hum.wa.gov/employer/faq.htm#disability[/url] The ee does need to follow attendance policies. However, in W…
  • Hi MrCreosote - we require a signed waiver.
  • I'm all for accomodation as Crout suggests (and if the ee is eligible for FMLA you will have to cover her), but I can see the point of the others at your company that say, hey, it didn't happen here - it was the result of work at a different company…
  • Hopefully what's happening here is this injury that occured at the other work site is going to be attributed to the other employer & you won't get roped into the WC claim. I like the idea of accomodation as Crout suggested, but I have another q…
  • HRsage - you know, you are quickly becoming my favorite poster. I love you sense of humor. x:-)
