These ee were never mandated to stay but choose to do so. I think you guys are right, this may be a performance issue or maybe we need to add another staff person. It is great being able to give and get others perspectives.

Our company is a high tech company and we only hire professional level ees. We have no entry lelvel ees. We have over 300 ees and about 30 support staff. The support staff are non-exempt. We have been audited by the DOL and job classification wer…

We have an EPO and a PPO. Our ees contribute 20% and we contribute 80%. EPO S - 242.20 S+1 - 484.40 F - 689.01 PPO S - 266.19 S+1 - 532.39 F - 757.66

We also pay ee for mandatory meetings and all of our benefit meetings are mandatory.

I agree with Ray. If you allow the sick time you can not use it against the ee. Anything above and beyond allowed days, you will be allowed to use. We never identify individuals, however, in our annaul report we indicate total utilization of sick…

I agree with what the others have posted. Do you require all ee sign for all policies? Retro-fitting is always a tough sell. I was at a recent legal training and the attorney suggested that we write down that the ee refused to sign and then ask t…

Okay, I saw them in the stores but I hadn't seen any males actually wearing the capri pants until this weekend. I saw four guys at the mall wearing capri pants. Yes here in Albany! Who knew?!

Back when I used to work in Health Care we brought in a presenter that talked about dressing for success. She stressed that if you wanted to be successful in your career and move ahead, you need to dress the part. Unfortunately all of the supervis…

I am surprised to hear that "Mayberry RFD" is not as liberal. You are right, things have changed. I think the reason the laws in NY and CA are so liberal is because people tend to push and push the limits in these states. Not sure if that is good…

I work in a pretty liberl but very professional environment. We do not allow capri pants even on our dress down days. We felt they were too close to shorts. They are now making capri pants for men so be careful what you allow. Your policy can not…

When I used to work in health care, we used to hire home health aides. We would pay for their training along with a drug screen and background check with a total cost of about $400. We had many no shows and it was costing us big time. So in their …

I would say that the verbal warnings have not worked. Do you have a disciplinary action clause in your union contract? If not, minimum I would suspend this ee. Let him know that this is a seriouse offense. I'm sure there will be a grievence file…

We do extensive background checks because we have highly secure facilities. We use American Background. I can only find a fax number 540-722-4771. Be careful because some states prohibit discrimination based on criminal history unless you can pro…

We have software that blocks SPAM. We also have software that blocks e-mails with explicite words. This sends an e-mail to our DBA and to the sender that an investigation will take place and that that type of language is not allowed. I think most…

In your post you mentioned that "the Court Reporters are Independant Contractors", you also mentioned that you provide benefits. If you are providing these independent contractors benefits, you could run into a big issue with dual employment. If y…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-25-03 AT 07:43AM (CST)[/font][p]It would depend on how critical the position was. As a matter of fact, FMLA can be waved if it is determined that the position is critical. Personally I treat everyon…

I would be careful about offering extended leave to one ee and not another. You set yourself up for past practice issues. You could add to your policy a statement that said additional leave beyond approved FMLA would be up to the discretion of HR.…

I have dealt with his kind in the past. Often when someone lashes out they are only trying to cover up what is really going on. It sounds like this guy has had anger control problems for years but that his depression has enhanced it. Having worke…

I agree with parabeagle. Let them know you will update your poster for free. Most state DOL websites have the most up-to-date posters available. You may have to look a little but they are there.

Could you share a copy of the form you created? My e-mail is [email]sorr@nyiso.com[/email] or my fax is 518-356-7584. We will be signing our first federal contracts soon so I would rather start the game with one foot already on the field.

Affirmative Action only applies if you have a federal contract.

Do you have a policy on conduct? This sounds like a violation if you do. Be careful though and try to get things worked out with UC. I'm sure that if discipline takes place, the union will say something if you are right or wrong.

The ee finished the report on the 20th. I met with the Director yesterday and informed her that if her expectations of an ee change that she needs to communicate that to the ee so that the ee can re-prioritize. I also offered her training in commu…

Thanks everyone! And Don D., you never know. After a while you begin to second guess yourself. I like the look suggestion. I'll keep a closer eye on the both of their interactions.
