  • >I'm afraid different types of hep get a little bit more complicated than that. Four restaurants in the Boston area had employees with Hep A over this past summer. Customers were encouraged to get shots that the Health Dept provided if they ate …
  • How 'bout that, I did a Google search and came up with a thread from this very Forum... [url]http://www.hrhero.com/employersforum/DCForumID18/446.html[/url]
  • I had great verbiage but I can't find it! I know I got it off some on-line site somewhere...I'll look around some more.
  • Yes! Be very clear that the handbook is not in any way, shape or form a contract of employement. Especially if you are having them siogn for it.
  • Excellent point with #1. Not only will the face of the workforce change, but so will the mentality. Baby boomers got jobs and expected that job for life, remaining loyal to their employer to a fault. Gen X-ers are looking out for themselves. They kn…
  • Thanks Marc! I am very excited and look forward to getting way more sleep. It will actually be a MS in HR; I think its fantastic that there is a Masters Program just for HR professionals. If you are interested in seeing what kinds of topics are cove…
  • hi Kymm. Aside from working in HR, I am also working towards my Masters in HR so I've conducted a few of these interviews myself. Here are a few things that have really stuck with me... (I graduate in May, hooray for me!) Employee Self Service - we…
  • What does the contract say? If they did not negotiate the number of disciplines in any given meeting, then I'd say you're fine.
  • "Finally, the person who states that she sees auto's w/o handicapped stickers in handicap spaces, up here in Mass., we look for that and it calls for a heavy fine, which the Police are only too pleased to issue." Right you are, I was surprised that…
  • You read my mind with the handicapped plate thing. I would think that anyone using a walker or oxygen could get a placard/sticker. Designate a cetain number of spaces handicapped, a certain number for patients only, and see how it goes. As for m…
  • Best to err on the side of caution. I can tell you it would have been dealt with very similarly, if not more harshly, at my company. Real life example - a friend was granted a restraining order against her ex because he said "I'm going to kill her…
  • Collective bargaining agreements are hard for most of us. I've seen employees who were dismissed for theft, fighting, attendance, drug use, etc rehired after the grievance process. I have also seen employees who sit on their collective a**es all day…
  • Don't be too surprised of your smokers end up smelling like Altoids and Febreeze.

  • Do you know Microsoft Access? You can set up databases for each type of absence with codes and also run reports from it.
  • Zen, I think you and I would get along very well...a couple of girly girls who know their way around a tool shed (or tool bin in my city apartment!).
  • Wow...I would love to own that even though it probably would not fit in my apartment very well!
  • In theory I suppose thats a good thing. Maybe I should make it better known that I salivate in the Craftsman section of Sears just as much as I do in the shoe section of Filenes. My ideal closet would have a floor to ceiling shoe rack and one of t…
  • Ok, I get it. Should make enforcing a dress code interesting!
  • But I still wonder how 'they' define that. I am a woman. What manly act would I have to do (don't say it, Don!) to give me affectional protection- fix a car, wear wingtips, pat my friends on the butt for a job well done, ignore the world while watch…
  • I did not make up the definition so I'll do my best here. Eyebrows, Don, they wax their eyebrows. Believe me, you'd know. Ditto manicure. Shiny fingernails = manicure. Dresses a certain way - hmmm...let me see. How can I say this? I think we a…
  • Its a recently created term referring to straight men who groom themselves similiarly to women or gay men - manicures, facials, waxing, dressing a certain way, etc. Its probably more commonly used in the city. Now, the reference to the grooming ha…
  • So does that mean metrosexuals will fall in to this category because they wax their eyebrows and get facials and manicures? That is ridiculous.
  • Acts like a female because he's going through gender reassignment, or acts like a female because he does "girly" things?
  • Our policy is very clear that gambling on company time or using company resources, email or phone, is grounds for immediate dismissal. I think you handled it fine. The only thing I would have done differently is NOT replied to all on the original …

  • Boy, do I feel kind of dumb! I swear Don's got some sort of 6th sense.
  • Now that its for subscribers only, Moses must be in HR, right? That was my thinking anyway.
  • Being in a protected class protects you from action taken because of your protected class. It does not protect you from normal BAU strategic decisions your company has to make, however unpleasant they may be. If you find that only over 40 years ol…
  • My grandmother could have got great results swinging a two dollar wooden spoon.

  • 45 %? Thats obscene. I'm not so sure I'd want an employee who is so unrealistic to work for me. In addition, employers pay for work, we are not reponsible for maintaining an employee's financial lifestyle. Let him move on.
  • I am always amazed that the union thinks the contract is maleable when it benefits them but is etched in stone when the employer misinterprets something. It is never easy.
