  • REYNA: It is this very issue that I have moved away from the temp agency format of hiring and placement. The agency needs to be directly involved with the attendance and performance issues pertaining to their employee. I found, after the fact, th…
  • In this day and time, I find team member or team player when speaking of a worker to employee boss organized to get work accomplished fits very well. Having lived in a former military organization for 22 1/2 years, I tend to pull away from the mili…
  • Gadget: You may want to look at the military system of development which without mentors the organiztion could never get the individuals to rise to the top of the peer group. At ever level of command authority we developed mentors without whom my …

  • OPEN1: You are not so open! The fact is "clear" and you do not need an x-employee's authorization to answer the question with fact "yes" or "no" and what were the dates: From point A to Point B? This is fact, it either happened or it did not!!!!! …
  • I will verify employment status as either: YES, working here or NO, is not employed with this company. When they ask for my name, I tell them to put it in writing and fax her request to me. I will give them my name. I do not care what type of comp…
  • VPHR: You know a friendly relationship in the local police forces runs a two way street. We use the police force our selves for information and security of our property which is in the remote locations in the counties. I most certainly "will conf…

  • DGROSS: Because I do not know your "chain of authority" lines of communication and areas of responsibility and where does the HR fit in this picture. The one that is not in focus here is the boss of the EXECUTIVE. Certainly that is not you, there…
  • Removing her from her route is a good move as long as the route on which she was assigned does not have a negative impact on her ability to enjoy the income dirived from her hard and dedicated work with all of our clients/vendors/customers! Make su…
  • HRVOLLEY: WELCOME TO THE FORUM; I suggest that you inform the management of the customer company of the situation. Do you have the individual's statement and has the individual informed the other party that she does not care for his actions and was…
  • TPACE: I will "when asked be the witness", otherwise, I provide counsel to the management "chain of authority" pre and post the execution of the event. Only when I am the appointed investigating officer will I become directly involved with the ter…
  • Yeap! a salaried beeper gets it on the side where his wallet is carried. A beeper situation with an exempt manager means that something in the barn has gone drastically wrong and they had better go see what is wrong or the production manager will b…
    in Beeper Pay Comment by pork1 April 2006
  • I concur With DAVIDS. Our hourly beeper employees are paid based on physically being called out for duty and no less than 4 hours. The time starts the moment that he/she begins preparation to get to the work site until the employee has returned to…

  • You must have company policy and procedures that fit within the confines of each state law. Thank goodness that our laws typically follow the Federal law as written. However, if we had a farm located in CA we would probably have an employee Handbo…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-21-06 AT 12:52PM (CST)[/font][br][br]yes, it is a cost of doing business and a tax write off at the year's end but someone must keep account of those losses and report it to the accounting department.…
  • I guess it was about the time when I was last directly involved with The Office of Federal Wage and Hour Division. I was taught by the auditors that they review our procedures based on the office guidelines that Vacation Time, once "awarded" it was…
  • KDSPA: OURS IS AWARDED ON THEIR ANNIVARSARY DATE. Now the only thing we attempt to regulate is the unknown cost by month used. Because it was awarded as a benefit the time belongs to the employee. I am surprised at the number of companies that in…
  • SUE2: USERRA does not apply to pay with the exception that benefits provided to all employees must be equally applied to the civilian/soldier. If you choose to discriminate between the voluntary call up and the involuntary call up, I believe you m…

  • TY: Your policy should first start with one very important key point, Bereavement/funeral leave is not paid as a result of one's qualifying relative dying. With that being established it becomes easy to administer the policy/benefit and pay accord…
  • POTATO: Like pork we are in the food industries. Does your person happen to be a Foreign National? Understand this, you could potentially be employing a foreign national, whose identity has been stolen from the other person with whom you had a te…
  • P0TATO: DO NOT TERMINATE DUE TO FRAUD, BUT TERMINATE DUE TO ABSENTEE CONDITIONS. PORK
  • HRH: The requirement for vehicle/driving records checks for potential employees and current employees does not usually come from legal requirement, but it becomes legal issues when there is some reason like Carrier Insurance Coverage. We do not req…
  • HRCALICO: I am with you, every employee in our company pays taxes that go to the governments in the name of the employee, as a worker of this company. "THEY DON'T PAY TAXES" has to come from those seasonal agriculture related jobs or temporary day…
    in Rally walk out Comment by pork1 May 2006
  • MOON: There is not one employer representative on this thread that has purposefully hired an "illegal foreign national"! For years, we have all taken the I-9 and the documents presented to the best of our ability and completed the hiring process, …
  • KARENMC: My post on the thread was ment only for an alert. Defending the companies' actions are easy, if they were planned out and had all of the facts. It is the employee that feels "not appreciated or abused" in all that they do for the compan…
  • Yesterday was Monday, are you open for business on Sunday? NLRB might also be interested in your actions, employees have a right to organize and express their opinion without penalty from the employer; however, more importantly is the actions of th…
  • KENT: You can certainly accept his verbal resignation. However, do you want to risk FMLA, wrongful termination, ADA, legal issues with the direct answer is of course NO. Like all above, I would recommend you get all of the facts about the case wi…
  • BALLOONMAN: I do not understand your post and what response you might be seeking or what HR issue are you interested in creating a discussion. HELP! PORK
