  • HUNTER1: Welcome to the HR world of delimas. My advise is to contact your retained attorney and get their opinion. OSHA demands that you provide a safe working environment! What is your defense, regardless of how you came about the information, …
  • And when you do this make sure you refer to your company policy page or article which directs the individual to the potential harm that might come from the failure to follow company policy. Then back it up with actions!!! PORK
  • DON: Section 4311 (a)& (c) of USERRA (Uniformed Services Employment and Remployment Act says: "(a)Previously, only Reservists and National members were protected from discrimination. Under USERRA, persons with past, current, or future obligatio…
  • ELIZABETH: It is not unbelievable, but it is real and I know you will like me do everything to find a way to "skin this issue for the benefit of all" and do it again forthe other guy that is not military. PORK
  • ELIZABETH: Don't be frustrated for it is also the HR's job and responsibility to protect the company and in your case the actions of the City from "wrong doings". You have done your best to give good sound advice and now you must move on and feel …
  • PARABEAGLE: You noticed of course my qualifier, to command the local University ROTC detachment while that young Infantry "buck" current commander could go over there and be of some use to the cause, while my gray hair would simply grow more grey. …
  • ELIZABETH: Congradulations, glad we were able to help, I am just waiting on my call-up orders to return after being inactive for 19 years. Probably a pipe dream, but who knows I could go command the local ROTC detachment and do my annual PT test w…
  • But Don, would it not be a wise and professional City Personnel Manager that would take this situation to the city attorney with current reference of the Federal Law that says "we shall not discriminate against anyone connected with the military the…
  • I AGREE; do a google on USERRA and get to the law and I believe it is section 3411 sub paragraph (a) that lays it out clearily. Print that page off and give it hi-lited in yellow, pink, or red to whom ever you wish. In very few words it is clear t…
  • ELIZABETH: In my opinion and from my understanding of USERRA, Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment ACT protects those persons seeking employment, as well as those seeking reemployment. Under todays conditions the needs of the military w…
  • JCINFO: I agree with the others, with the exception that I would pursue a verbal resignation followed with his trumped up letter of departure as supporting documentation for the bases of termination. I would pursue this line of actions to the 1st …
  • JSCHEIDTER: I am not in Florida, but I have sworn out for arrest employees who have been caught with the pawning of company property! I would think, if you have documentation to defend your company from reverse charges of "wrongful arrest" or "sla…
  • Jez: We will observe both Christmas and New Year's on the Friday before as paid time off. We'll be cooking pork ribs, black-eyed peas and cornbread for the happenings. May we all look forward to a Blessed month of December 2004, with our new Pres…
  • I concurr, what you write about is motivation, if you wish to motivate someone you must first make sure they understand the "specific behaviors" which are controlled by the person doing the wrong and that person alone. It is he/she that can change …
  • Ditto with Don; I have also found that releasing information only when there is a signed signature of the employee, which allows for the release of employment information keeps the flow of request for information to a minimum. This way loan informa…
  • RKRB: Sure it is! Just make sure, if you intend to use the audio in further legal actions, that you announce on the front end of the conversation that the session will be recorded and ask the other party if they object, and tell them they have the …
  • I vote with Anne in Ohio! Managers who fail to lead and develop employees must be made to clean up their mess. We teach every employee to clean up their mess at the end of the work day, this manager is of the greatest concern for the production ar…
  • TONIA: May I suggest that you should pursue for your company in accordance with OSHA standards to create a safe working environment by having a 1st Responder Team appointed, trained, and capable of responding to these types of issues. First aid, B…
  • KYMM: Let me advocate the ability to speak the language of the world of work in which you are currently living. In my HR world, I have been able to come on-board and with a clear understanding of the need for me to be integrated into the corporate…
  • Yes, I mean payroll records, on which they will find documented 401K contibutions, while looking at that they will find hours worked and payments covered by FLSA & overtime payments, they'll find direct deposits, bonuses, tax and garnishments. …

  • You can expect a very detailed look at your plans and the actions of your plan administrators/Board of Directors. You will never be told the specifics of the complaint and they will look at everything. You can just bet your personnel pay records w…

  • GLC: We probably should wait for our legal experts to come on to tell us if the law has changed. We pay both vacation and sick time awarded but not used to all out-going employees! PORK
  • ROCKIE: We have a lot more these days than in the past. I recognize the improvents in effeciency of the US Government under the Homeland Security actions. The systems going on line are able to identify, track, and go after our citizens and collect…
    in IRS Levies Comment by pork1 October 2004
  • AnneHa: I would think and I believe, if you pay based on the time clock card consistently, your concerns for what the ee does before the time in or out, you will be documented to having followed the FLSA whether it is the new or old law. If your c…
  • I would approach the CEO to handle the concerns for senior leadership handling confidential information. As HR I am the controller of "rules" and "policy", I am not charged with the demonstrated conduct of the senior leadership the CEO is and the C…
  • REFUSE AND TELL THE INDIVIDUAL TO START LOOKING! HIS LOYALITY IS SHORT LIVED. pork
  • STRATFORD:Likewise, welcome to the forum. I concur with TN HR and I am sure my neighbor Don would also press the same; however, tell us more about your case. Why have you chosen to jump right into the forum lookiing for settlement guidance. Has i…
  • NEWBIE: Based on what you have posted here, I recommend you take your concerns up the chain of authority to your BOSS. Seek the Corporate HR advise on how you are to handle this subject matter. Document this action in some formal process, so that…
  • ROCKIE; Ny roll is one of organizer and presenter of the case, much like that of an attorney for the employer. I organize the case present the employer case in document form and supported by the employer's supervision chain. If my case presentati…
  • In history of being involved with these proceedings and in our state. My company would not be charged with paying UI if the employee has not completed our 60 day orientation. The fact that there has been an unfortunate hiring and a great embarassm…
