  • You're right, thats why I offered the information as information only, not a solution on the original post. But I have to ask myself what happened that this woman ended up in surgery, aside from the obvious beating, of course. Did she feel her emplo…
    in Victim of domestic violence fired Comment by rad August 2004
  • Pork, nowhere in my post do I suggest making victims a protected class. I am passing along information garndered from research. We have a Republican governer and have for about 15 years. It gives us a good balance. We're not all bleeding-heart lib…

  • I'm not really answering your question, just putting my 2 cents in. I did my HR Law paper on this topic so I dug it out. Some of my info may be old, I'm sure the M Lee Smith attorneys will jump on in where I've goofed. Although there is no law t…

  • While you're at it, see if some gambling agency like Gamblers Anonymous has those rip-off take-one information post card things you can hang in the restrooms. We keep domestic violence assistance numbers on those cards in the restrooms so employees …

  • As for safety - if he's borrowing money from loan sharks and two thick necked leg breakers show up at the door with baseball bats, call the police. I can't think of any other safety issues. When its time to renew his lease and/or contract, you've go…

  • I Googled Employee Records retention and found a site called Humanresources.about.com. They have some info on both records and confidentiality.

  • Doesn't CA already have a no smoking in the workplace law? If so, there's your answer. Even before MA had one I could not smoke in work or on company property. Are they talking about chewing tobacco as well? By making this a prerequisite, are you sa…
    in No use of Tobacco Products Comment by rad July 2004
  • Ours is broken down by region, so an employee travelling to NYC gets to spend more than an employee travelling to a less expensive area. As long as its all adds up to the lump sum amount, we do not break down what can be spent for each individual me…

  • >This behavior, taken as a whole routine, is obviously an annoying habit, perhaps unsightly, maybe unpleasant, probably invoking laughter and snorting. Don, I'm with you (again). nail biting - grosses me out teeth sucking - grosses me out snor…
    in Very uncomfortable situation Comment by rad July 2004
  • I twirl my hair and rock back and forth in my seat when I'm anxious, frustrated or tired. A Jewish friend says I'd make the perfect Hasidim at the wailing wall. I don't even realize I'm doing it half the time, its just a reaction to stress.

  • And what would he have you say? Wouldn't it be a first if we started to discipline employees for NOT chit-chatting in the hallways rather than working? Does the manager understand how absurd that is? Do you have a supervisor you can talk to and ex…
    in Employee Attitude Problem Comment by rad June 2004
  • Right on. If the manager engages in small talk and Mr Problem is there, he can excuse himself until the chip on his shoulder falls off.

  • Sharper Image and same such stores sell little machines for just that purpose.

    in Racial Epithet Comment by rad July 2004
  • I'm in the for-profit world and we pick up many college interns every summer. They are compensated and are covered under state mandated WC guidelines. We don't use volunteers.
    in Interns vs volunteers Comment by rad July 2004
  • I was wondering the same thing but got so sidetracked by the hoopla I forgot to ask. If he was wagging his thing around I could see the problem. But undoing his zipper? Seems to me he's just inconsiderate, not a foreigner with a strange zipper custo…

  • Leslie, how sad for you and your organization. I have never had to deal with anything like this. It is so sad that he did not have life insurance. I find that in situations like this, most folks do the right thing and take up a collection to help …

  • What a great description!
    in Union Rep from ........well, he's difficult Comment by rad May 2004
  • What does he mean about "how its done"? You both should be dealing with the union employees and each other according to the respective contract. Unfortunately, there is probably nothing you can do about his attitude, hopefully the other members wi…

  • It is not information that I would ask for during an interview, so it is not information I would want to learn from a resume.
    in "Full-time Parent" Comment by rad May 2004
  • Another factor to adding a headcount is the revenue that may be lost if the customer can not get service. Many employers fall into the trap of trying to save money in the short term without realizing they are hurting their long term projections by w…

  • I'm impressed that so many people can take their own blood pressure.
    in Blood Pressure Cuff Comment by rad May 2004
  • I never thought that was fair but have always been told that heterosexual couples always had the option of marrying and consequently qualifying for benefits (hey, its as good a reason as any!) and homosexual couples did not. Now, in my state, they d…
    in Legal vs. Ethical Comment by rad May 2004
  • The only issue I see is that the limo was "supplied" by your customer. Does that mean it was free? Thats a big no-no where I work. Not much you can do about people who can't control their liquor or libido on their own time.
    in After hours conduct Comment by rad May 2004
  • Yes, it is wise to discourage it but almost impossible to police. As long as they are not discussing someone else's salary there's nothing you can do.

  • Now I think I've heard it all.
    in Bathroom Etiquette Comment by rad May 2004
  • Did you know about his wife's position before or after you promoted him? If you knew before, why promote him at all? Integrity is, or should be, one of the reasons a good employee is promoted. Unless you have a policy against it, as does my company,…

    in Same Sex Marriage Benefits in MA Comment by rad May 2004
  • I have tried to stay away from this one but bandwagon, here I come. One can not, in my opinion, compare locks to long blond curls on a woman. One is acceptable to just about everyone in our society, the other is not. So lets not compare apples and o…
