J Bunn - are you a serious poster? If you are - here's my advice - you can't do it. It is illegal in WA to take an adverse action against an employee with garnishment & child support issues. Stop even considering it. I'm unsure whether or no…

Here's the rule in Maryland: [url]http://www.dllr.state.md.us/labor/wagepay/wagepay.htm#wppayonterm[/url] "C. Wage Payment at Termination: When Final Pay Due Each employer shall pay an employee, or the authorized representative of an employee, al…

Hi Parabeagle - I definitely meant it as a compliment - and phrased it poorly. A can? Man, are you sure you're not a transplant to the northwest? x;-)

I've been in meetings most of the day - so I haven't had time to respond - I'm amazed at your professionalism Parabeagle - you do good work. In reading through this thread, what do you suppose the relationship between the GM and the customer was? …

We've had this problem on and off for a few years. First, I don't think an email will get your point across - they are usually cold & not very effective in these situations (at least in my experience). Second, since you're in Washington, you m…

I'll echo the last two posts - I don't think this employee has much to build a case on here - what is it - embarrassment about 'squealing' on a fellow employee? Unless there was something written promising confidentiality, or the investigator was a…

I just have one other gem to the great posts already - what does your policy book say? Do you REQUIRE all departing employees to give 2 weeks notice or do you merely ask and hope they give it to you. If you REQUIRE it & they give it & you …

Yes, and at the family get togethers, the tales of the cattle thief are lauded, the hooker is regarded sympathetically & the union member is laughed at - but hey, that's maybe just my family x;-)

Wow! You've been invited to THE SHRM Christmas party - how did you score that invite? Seeing how there must only be one SHRM Christmas party around as your husband works at a "different" company, then yes I would bring him - it's so special to be …

I don't know the rules around the childcare industry - seems like Marc's got that part covered, so I'll just address personal experience. In the past 3 1/2 years we have hired back (after a ncns or term for other reason) approximately 12 people. O…

I'm going to echo HRQ. I would not get involved in the issues, unless it's affecting work - it's affecting work if the rumors, gossip, boasts, etc. are running rampant through the company & therefore affecting production (work slow downs, exces…

Hi - I agree with the other posts - I would keep it simple and state the facts. I would also document the corrective action that went into place after this accident as well. Not only including the disciplinary action (just a question: is a write-…

I don't think Portland is particularly 'portly' nor the surrounding areas. Do you think it could have been Portland, Maine? Although :-?, between the flannel & the old military jackets the guys in Portland, Oregon wear, I may be wrong....
-
"And Portland is so logically laid out it's impossible to get lost." Bull...loney! It's logical if you're 8-} crazy.

Hey, don't take it personal, I'm lucky I can get to my sister's house - driving in Portland & the surrounding bedroom farmlands, um, I mean communities, makes me crazy.
-
Deez - Between this, some stuff in between & OSHA issues, I hope the reason you stay at this job is because they pay you BIG BUCKS! Great Job! I didn't forget anything - my sister cooked! x;-) I left WA state on T-Day at 9:00 a.m. and arrive…

Thanks for responding Leslie - yes - FMLA is covered (his doc. says he can work intermittently - with opportunities for rest breaks & computer work shouldn't adversely affect him).
-
Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate your responses!

Hi TN HR - the telephone system does work. Please try it - it could change your mind from 'silly' to 'wow, it works'. I agree with your statements about Americans wanting cheaper and cheaper goods & how manufacturers in America are increasingl…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-10-03 AT 04:14PM (CST)[/font][p]I've had luck with contacting my health insurance company. They had an ERISA attorney come out & train our sup's & managers. You can always try that route. A…

I agree with s moll & LFernandes - I think you handled it very professionally. So far the only strange, even bizarre, issues I've had to work with involve employees getting new cars/homes & then demanding a higher wage to pay for the new ca…

cool - I suggest you search the state's website - you'll probably find it there.
-
Okay - here's a dumb question - blast away at me folks for it may be totally from left field, but I like to think that I don't ask too many of these x;-). AnaC - Are you sure it's his only issue? If these folks (employees) work for your agency &…

Try this link: [url]http://www.twc.state.tx.us/dirs/wdas/wdamap.html[/url] It should give you at least some phone numbers to call in Texas to find the answers.
-
While you're printing everything off - fly a call to your state's employment law office as well & see what the rules are in Texas for docking pay.
-
x:-) I love how some of these posts can turn into confessionals. Crout - I wouldn't bug you about tardy's if they were only occassional AND you have built a history of coming to work early AND it's not a disruption to staff. This may not sit well…
-
Junebug - handle this well. Use some of what has said in this thread to help the employee understand the importance of being on time. Don't use the fact that you can dock pay, stop you from having a very direct conversation with the employee. If …

"Though I should probably look at other background companies.." my friend you are green. From your post and knowing only what you have presented and nothing else - it sure seems to me to be unfair - but I could be wrong. As to a suggestion, I would…

Hate to break it to you pal - it's not free.
