One would think that Congress should be permitted to clarify its intent, however, a can of worms is being opened. I don't think what a specific person is making should be posted with their name, but there should be a posting of hourly rates or annu…

I'm with you all the way. Another annoying habit is that they ignore the fact that just because they are taking a break, doesn't mean that those around them are also taking a break. These same people have gotten upset when someone walks by and is …

Are you writing about healthcare benefits or all benefits? Our handbook includes the basics for each benefit given. For health insurance we list the number of hours a week the employee must work before being eligible and how and when premiums are d…

Not so sure about the high heels, but the rest of the message is very appealing. Unfortunately, many of those entering the workforce have no idea how to dress appropriately for different circumstances as no restrictions or dress codes have ever bee…

I totally agree with RuthG on this. Several managers in my company have a policy of hiring a person back once if the person is a good worker. You never know the complete circumstances as to the reason that he/she left. It almost seems the norm to…

I totally agree with sdiconza. Some interviewees would not take some constructive criticism well which is unfortunate.
-
I totally agree with countrygirl. Also, because this person has just started, I would watch to see how they are "fitting" into the job and document any negatives and/or positives that you might see.

In a perfect world this might be a really good idea. However, in the real world I think this idea needs more thought. I agree with the employee who thought this might turn out as a popularity contest (remember high school and choosing someone for a…

We have regular tap water, bottled water that may be purchased from a vending machine, and some employees pay for bottled water on tap. There is a recycling bin for plastic bottles available.

I totally agree with CountryGirl. Perhaps he just has to learn what is appropriate for the office and what is not. I think we have to remember that he just came from college where there is no dress code and before that high school, again, where th…

I would have hoped that adults would have learned that children say "That's not fair" and by the time childhood is over there is an understanding as to why the policy was changed. Is it that employees can't have a good time unless they have alcohol…

Apparently these women were discussing the topic in a tone loud enough that it could be heard by others. If more were said about the subjects under discussion than what has been indicated in the article then there might be cause for reprimand. I…

Do you see a morale/teamwork issue? If you do, then perhaps you should delve more deeply into that issue. If there is no morale/teamwork issue, I don't think I'd worry about it. People are there to work not to socialize during working time. Som…

I agree with fisHRman. Posting the job on tech-specific or industry-specific websites sounds like a good idea. You might also post a job opening on your bulletin board. Someone in your company may know of someone in that field that is looking for…

You're absolutely correct, this is not hight school anymore. If this is happening during unpaid time, I don't think there is much you can do. If it is happening during paid time and is affecting the work being done then there is something that sho…

We also offer flexible schedules, but for only 4 days each week. One day each week all parties have to report to and leave work at the same time. Meeting are usually scheduled on this day. To make things easier for our employees we schedule this…

My company has not experienced any problem in this area either. In this day and age this seems to becoming more commonplace (the woman keeping her last name or hyphenating the last name.

I'm really glad that you brought this up. I knew we had a policy but it has been a while since it has been reviewed. The policy we do have is broad in scope and is listed under "Types of offenses that could result in immediate discharge (serious o…

Women do leave the workforce more to raise the kids, but it's time that the father's started doing their fair share. Women need to stick together. There is definite discrimination out there, but the day's of women being titled "the weaker sex" sho…

I agree with Robin. Communication is the key. Although the person is qualified, the need to speak so the customer understands is of prime importance.

Saying offensive things is a regular for Imus, but this was the "straw that broke the camel's back". I agree that the reason he was fired was over sponsorship or more importantly lack thereof. Sponsors seem to be dictating what we can and cannot s…

I agree with HRsource1.

I agree with blakefan. These people are not in their own personal setting, but in a professional office setting and as such should not be disruptive. Perhaps a good talking to is in order with a hint to disciplinary action that could take place if…

We have a seniority scale for vacation time only. It seems to work well and I haven't heard complaints. The company handbook spells out the years of service necessary in order to attain a certain number of days vacation per year.

My company pays a national guard member the difference between his/her military pay and regular work pay for the 2 week period each year that is used for training. We do not consider this time as vacation time. If one of our employees is deployed f…

Negativity spreads rapidly. I think I would observe the group interaction before I did anything. After noting certain things I considered negative, I might call the person aside and explain that there seems to be a problem. If the person does no…

I totally agree with what CTCarter wrote. I have worked with several temporary agencies over the past several years and each agency has their own policy over length of time a "temp" may be used and "temp" to hire situations. Perhaps it would be a …

We have also given time off to employees when their family members are leaving. Also, we have collected "goodies" for the troops and sent them to the family member that has been deployed so that he/she can share them with others.
