You're right, it is bad for all. When I had to cross the line my brother was out on strike. It was a tough time for the whole family. We called each other every night at first to see if there was any news but we had to stop after a while - he was st…

I was to upset to say anything and not at all willing to hang around the picket line to complain to the cops. I just kept my eyes straight ahead and kept moving.
-
Good point Rita, I had bad experiences with the police just standing there ignoring the violence.
-
Having been through this before, I agree with the suggestion to hire security or even a police detail. Many of your delivery people may refuse to cross the picket line if they themselves are unionized employees or are afraid of retaliation. There's …

The article on the homepage addresses an issue somewhat like this...

When our employees submit FMLA paperwork, they also sign a waiver allowing us to verify its authenticity and to verify dates of treatment, but not to get details about the illness or anything private. In cases where it has been found that employees…

My company only allows supervisors who have completed an on-line behavioral interview technique course complete an interview. If the hiring manager has not completed the course, he/she must conduct the interview with a second manager who has.

Like the ones they do in the mall? The Gullah and Amish are both mentioned and I may be wrong, in which case I'm sure I'll be corrected, but I do not think members of either group work in "mainstream" environments where photo IDs are required. …

If this was the process that was followed before, explain that you know you are out of the office but still need to be kept in the loop for the reasons you told us. You're not asking anything new, right? They may be looking for instant gratificatio…

Hey! Who says we're not laid back? We're laid back, we just don't like to show it too much x;-)

So these two people, the accuser and the accusee, do not work for the same company? I work in a leased building and if that happened to me, I'd report it to my corporate security and they would investigate and work with either that person's employ…

What a great thing you did. xclap I bet that in addition to experience, she gained a whole lot of self confidence.

I agree, I'm reluctant to reinvent the wheel and surveys are hard to do. I can buy one but I guess I was trying to wow her with my resourcefullness. Thanks!

Yes, assuming he is sending the e-mails to their work addresses, you can have an e-mail policy that prohibits employees from using the e-mail system for non-business purposes. Most places have one. Granted most employees do it anyway but you can put…

Thats exactly what I thought. I can't think of a good reason that information is necessary. It teeters on the edge of outright asking for one's age.

First, do not go to this person's family with your concerns. You don't even know for sure if there is a health problem. Second, if you haven't already, document specifics and address the behaviors with the employee. Do not make assumptions about hea…

I wear two photo ID badges- one for my company security and another for the building we lease. I do not recall signing anything and it is company policy that the ID be worn and displayed at all times. They are digital photos and when an employee is …

That is not a diagnosis, its simply an alternative to the aforementioned suggestion of a mental breakdown. We just don't know with the information available. Why would someone choose to live like that? Who knows. But in my experience, they are menta…

Address the body odor. Address the asking others for money. How did you find out about her living conditions? It certainly sounds like something the health department should know about, but I share your reluctance to cross that line. Its a tough one…

There were a few threads on both BO and flatulance...do a search, there were good comments.

Do some research and find some articles that back up your position. There is so much out there on outsourcing and HR is one field that is typically hit. My company did the same thing for some HR areas and I think its a mistake, the vendors do not ha…

Surely the vending machines you have already contain some type of snack containing peanuts. Most snacks that do not have peanuts carry a warning that they may contain traces as they are made in the same factory as snacks with peanuts. If you are con…

I would not let her return without a fitness for duty from the doctor and restrictions, if any. If she does have epilepsy, there can be triggers and you should know what they are. As for another person helping her, as far as I know, there are good…

You say she seems to have seizures. Either she is or she isn't. If she has an "episode" at work, call 911, have her sent to a doctor and get a note for return to duty with/without restrictions. Most good samaritan laws protect those administering…

OSHA requires you to provide a safe working environment for your employees. That includes protecting them in domestic violence situations. There was recently a situation in Mass where a husband and wife worked together, she had a restraining order a…

My suggestion is to tell the others in the office that unless her hair is interfering with her job, there is no problem. What on earth could be wrong with braids? I've had my hair braided and its clean, neat and easy to keep off my face. Braids ar…
-
If its a state law, as it is in Mass, there should be no arguement. How would you treat infractions of any other state law while on company time or in a company vehicle?
-
Oh, no. I'll be thinking about you and your dad.
-
I am always amazed when this happens. You know that an underpayment would be noticed right away. But anyway, we deduct 10% of the total overpayment a week until it is paid back.
-
I agree with you on that. I'm sure there is AC in the office. When its 10 below in Boston I don't wear a fleece sweat suit to the office, I'm still expected to dress appropriately. I'm still trying to figure out how wearing denim helps with the "sti…
