  • I concur; additionally, you can cut the vacation check today along with this weeks pay as 40 hours and let her go tomorrow. The sooner the better, before she can spread any virus that she might want to spread. PORK

  • Personal time off without pay is one that we do offer, which might get you beyond the 12 month requirement for FMLA. We do have the ee pay in advance the medical premium payment to keep it in force. However, check with your carrier first, all do n…
  • Larryc: Thanks for this support; I have throughly enjoyed and learned from every thread; it was about this time last year that we had a better time with all sorts of threats of leaving the channel and switching to a lesser forum. It is still amazi…
  • You should watch who you call pal! PORK
  • DON: I would recommend you attend some course work in "psychology of the organization" and really find out that the make up of any organization is truly the amalgamation of the psychology of each of the associated members. The nature of the cultur…
  • I especially like to do dinner interviews where the ee has also brought the spouse to the interview for house hunting, schools, & etc. On one, I discovered by accident and chance over the talk and "chat" that the individual with whom we were ha…
  • LUKKIESEVEN: Thanks for the information and directions on getting a copy of the new DOL required posting of USERRA. This forum is just the best money spent on any seminar anywhere! PORK
  • CAROLISO: We verify employment with the name and social security number. We have these facts and we are not concerned about legal issues with a yes or no response to employment verification. It has worked for us and with only one or two a week, w…
  • CAROLISO: My assistant & I do verify employment for callers, if they have acorrect spelled name and ssn. No other information is provided w/o a signed release and "signture on file" is not good enough. I denied additional information by a per…
  • I agree with the others. Probation or introductory or orientation or training and development period is something I believe we "Personnel Guros" brought into the system of the "world of work" for companies. The hire date is the beginning of person…
  • There are better looking containers than a 5 gal bucket. The bucket approach just stirs up the anger in their denial of their addiction. The 20 foot distance is a start. The company can also put up an overhead cover with picnic tables for the smo…
  • MARYB: welcome to the forum; I for one need more about your concerns. Are we talking "Privacy", "protection of company procedures", or proprietary processes. PORK
  • NOHR4U1YR: GOOD MORNING, This is evidently getting to the point of a safety issue, and if you can not put this individual in a private office with great ventilation to the outside world, I believe I would be moving this person to the outside and wi…
  • HRinFL: I agree, but you can't take it personal but Don is so right as he so eloquently states below. It is kinda like the rules of "Discrimination", the EE can make any claim he/she wants and "DAMN" we have to defend our actions. Lots of us out …

  • You don't, simply follow your company policy and procedures. Let the good ones know that your hands are tied and that the company has done everything you could do and now the company has no further options. Let the person know in writing that the …
  • BALLOONMAN1: I agree, one can smell a smoker located in a near location, the distance depends on the "heavy ness" of one's nasty stinking habit! Once the company sets up a non-smoking environment as policy, we should never shy away from a direct c…

  • SZEMCOMO: our policy has a factor that says: "any refusal to provide a urine sample for testing and any positive result calls for an immediate termination"! We have had only one person to refuse to provide a urine sample and stated as you wrote, …
  • CBG1416: I defer to your "employee handbook", our company policy says we will pay the difference between the jury pay and a normal hourly rate for the period sitting in the "legal triangle". If the individual goes for 1 hour and is released to go …
    in jury pay Comment by pork1 March 2005
  • HR in CA: I would have a personal meeting with the supervisor to determine how much information and what information the supervisor has pertaining to this behavior! My professional opinion is: you have a supervisor who is shirking his responsibi…
  • I R HR: Welcome to the forum! I R HR2, Discrimination based on some reason other than physical and mental abilities of a candidate to accomplish the assigned task to an acceptable standard is where one might get in trouble. I agree with Gillian3.…
  • CWELLS: I too have found formal surveys to be a real problem generator. Interpersonal/employee relations with the employees is an HR area of interest and concerns. I have found that my getting out of this office and out there and available to con…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-02-05 AT 12:59PM (CST)[/font][br][br]George: After reading the above postings, I come away with a concern for the individual that you took out of the position as a result of personal financial troubl…
  • I concurr; the trucks should be shut off, regardless of the shipping manager's claims of being in perfect health. Is he a physician? The companies' first priority is the control of environment so that it is safe from all potential dangers. 2ndly …

  • KENT: Medical file by "A to Z" and not by individual name is how we do it. It is medical information and must be kept seperate of the personnel file. We used to keep this information in the personnel jacket under the medical section. After HIPAA…
  • KBR: Welcome to the forum; please spell out the words associated with RFP. With spreadsheet EXCEL you should not have to go outside for the development of a career progression ladder, if that is to which you write. I would stay away from developi…
  • Yes, it is legal! Get the word in plenty of time to educate every one and to let the employees who tend to be young and immature complaint and make all sorts of bold statements and then bring the lock on with a good working key and a sign out roste…
  • MISKLU: I do not have, but I have been through 5 "Reduction in force" programs. One provided transitional counselling and job referral programs to all of the management staff. One provided a letter of explanation and a referral letter for me to t…
  • Don: I made the asumption that this company was an international corporation with operating facilities in Canada, thus would not need to worry about the immigration aspects. I assumed the posting was advertising in Canada for positions located in …
  • T: First thing I would do is to get him to fill out an accident report, which locks down the circumstance as being an injury from other than work activity. I would then dismiss him telling him to see a physician and return to you with written auth…
  • Hunter1: Contrary to some of our forum member beliefs the USERRA does apply prior to enrollment, but only in the negative sense that a company would go so far as to deny one the opportunity to join a company because the individual was a member of a…
