Take a look at this link for some excellent info that may give you some help with your current issue. [url]http://www.hrhero.com/sample/trialNavigate.pdf[/url] Good luck, Stuart

Paul, I've never fired anyone for being sick to often but have termed ee's for excessive absenteeism which amounts often to the same thing, if not ADA or FMLA/OFLA (I'm in OR too) protected. I think it is acceptable to discuss/explain your expectat…

This is a tough one... I don't think that you can dictate what or how they act while not at work. I do think that you can discuss with them the following; if they are well enough to stroll the beach or visit the local cafe then your company has a re…

I think more info is needed... if they were discussing pay then they have a protected right to discuss that subject with fellow ee's. This would not be the case if the employee was say a HR staff member disclosing medical information. (only and ex…

You are correct that the EOE wording will not help (much) if you have discriminatory hiring practices, but if it's a case of just being accused than it's one more point in your defense.

I agree with the above posts. There are things we do that are not required but just make good sense. Adding EOE or some such language to your ad's can go a long way towards establishing you are a non-discriminatory hiring group.

I agree with Balloonman the union rep is there to act as a witness and to offer support to the employee, they are not there to act as counsel (ala Perry Mason). The employee is there to give their side of the story and enlighten you with any pertin…

Since we're wishing I wish that there was a door at work that acted like the transporter on the Enterprise. When an ee passed through they would be transported to their work environment and they would leave all their other issues behind and concentr…

Don is correct, the ruling revolves around a work week. Any hours worked during a work week require payment. If no hours are worked during the work week than no salary is required to be paid. This is not a reduction is salary it is just a non paymen…

I have never seen Don shout before... I wonder how he really feels on this one? x:o

Are you in an "employment at will" state? I don't know the answer to this one but can certainly identify with the parents. That tampering with witnesses part sound very scary as it could mean anything from bribery to threats on ones life. I think t…

I agree wholeheartly with Don D. and my suggestions were meant as follow up to the more urgent suggestions made by Don. My apologies for not being clearer in my post. I do stand firm that prep is important however... if I prepare for the Tornado th…

I think that it would be appropriate to review the companies "Violence in the Workplace Policy" in a general meeting with employees. If you do not have one in place then I would recommend searching on Google (or whichever site your comfortable using…

Good one! xclap

It is our intent to check the vision of all ee's within the (assembly)department as they are all required to do visual inspection as part of their essential job function. We will not be singling out individuals. Our plan is to use the Jaeger visio…

Just to throw a twist in here... What's the rule if they work part of the day. My understanding is that employer cannot deduct pay without potentially losing their exempt status, but can the employer deduct from PTO if they have a sick plan in place…
-
I agree with bamahr and I think that the employees who work the entire day while others get it off and receive pay are going to see this as a less than equitable situation. I think at the very least they will make your day uncomfortable (I'm being …

I'm not a hugely religious person but I like the following from the movie Crossroads... "If you let the Devil on board he sure as Hell will want to drive." (I always think of this when someone, maybe even yours truely, is considering starting a new…

In my state (Oregon) the ee would receive unemployment even if he was fired (about only reason for ineligibility here is GROSS misconduct) and I think most states just impose a extended time before ee is eligible, so I wouldn't make that the issue (…

One of the first things I learned in HR was don't mess with peoples paychecks. I would take whatever steps were necessary to get their checks to them when they are expected or be prepared to deal with a hugh moral issue and a very vocal 5%... just …

Your mother owns her own business and usually to get to this point in life you have to have some business gene's somewhere. Can you explain to her that verbally abusing talented employee's is shooting herself in the foot! Maybe just remind her tha…

Lisa, I have had a similar experience and discovered that the medical center contracted their MRO doctors only a couple a days a week. So we ended up waiting until they were available to process our screens. I resolved this issue by shopping around …

I don't believe that you are legally required to have security guards but I would look at some sort of voilence in the workplace policy and address safety related issues. I offer the following for your perusal: Parking Lot If you're working late…

Thanks for your input. We are an old manufacturing facility (lots of rooms, lots of different elevations, lots of machinery, etc.) without the benefit of a alarm systems. The reason I brought this question up is that we recently had a female ee com…

I would dust off my sexual harassment training materials and discuss the companies performance expection with all concerned employees (especially employees refusing to perform).

>Windburn? That's when your skin gets all dried out from the wind rushing by from the fan your wonderful employer provided, or in your case standing on the beach maybe by Haystack Rock and the wind blows in at gale force (of course minus th…

Right up until the ee files an 801 for windburn or claims the fan makes her dizzy and light headed x:'( I'll be better tomorrow...
-
We took a low tech approach and provided her with a fan (lead persons idea should have been mine) and life is good again! too be continued I'm sure....

Don, Thank you for your advice, sage as usual. I have requested of this employee a doctors note stating any restrictions and I've provide a through job description for said doctor. (I'm sure we'll get a note from the doctor stating that as long as…

I would also take a lot at the Department of Transportation's website. These delivery drivers depending on the size of the trucks they drive may fall into a category regulated by this group and they have stringent guidelines covering employees and d…
