  • Here is our formal theft policy. "You steal - You're fired!"
  • Don't give her two weeks to change, require immediate improvement or terminate now. Otherwise you may find that you have given her the next two weeks to make your life a living hell. It is not like she doesn't know what she has been doing. Time to …

  • Having won a few and lost a lot more, I have came to the conclusion that we lose because the state prefers employer paid welfare.
  • If the grapevine gossip is true what has the girlfriend done about it? If it were my child I probably would have done much more then just report it! I would first talk to this employee and if she confirms that she thinks her boyfriend is a pedophil…

  • Oh by the way, we are non-union and hope to stay that way.
  • Actually, this is a great company to work for. One reason why we are considering this is because of the current State economy. We have several employees who have had their spouses/significant others laid off and unemployed for a long time (example…
  • Thanks for the advise I really appreciate it. After another meeting today the employee decided to remain at work until her doctor decides or September 1. She had a complete change of attitude, and decided she could not afford to be without salary …
  • That is part of my dilema, in the past we have allowed time off without pay for good reason. However, in this case there is no reason for her time off except she says "I am going to to take the time off and my attorney says you have to". (I just lo…
