We are also looking at changing our current review system to the 360 degree system. I found a few resources at the SHRM web site. [url]www.shrm.org[/url] You will need a membership to access the info. If you find any info else where please let me…

Thank you. I just wanted to hear what others were doing. Our legal dept. asked us to hold off until they reviewed the changes. The last time they said that, we got a response a year later. Only to find out that we could have moved ahead.

Okay, okay, okay I agree with your last statement. There is no law saying they have to do anything. However, if it were me I would.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-21-03 AT 02:12PM (CST)[/font][p]I did not say for them to shut the website down, that is for the authorities to decide, however if what is being said or written is disrupting the workplace that's when…
-
My point was that the work place was being disrupted and our code of conduct policy specifically addresses this issue. The police may be called in to address this issue in addition too, rather than being mutually exclusive.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-21-03 AT 09:37AM (CST)[/font][p]Our policy views harassment as harassment before, after or during work. If you don't take action, one of the victims of the harassment may sue you as well. I do not s…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-20-03 AT 02:22PM (CST)[/font][p]Have these issues been identfied on a performance review? You can terminate in an at-will state, however this does not prevent her from filing a lawsuit. She has ever…

I can not speak for a gov't agency but in the private sector, you are allowed to offer different groups different benefits. If you have a collective bargaining unit you may want to review your union contracts.
-
I'm sure you are right. This particular DOL auditor, however suggested that if we didn't change our policy, she might be required to report it to the EEOC. She was attempting to put her nose in all sorts of places it didn't belong.

Although I might agree with you, you may want to be careful about allowing one type of earring over another. At my last employer we had a dress code policy that stated that men had to wear shirts with collars but women could wear shirts that didn't…
-
I have a new question for you. If you allow earrings, do you allow lobe stretchers which are earrings that stretch the hole of the piercing. I recently saw a guy that had these holes the size of a quarter. You you allow that, it is a form of earri…

We do not allow any public access. You need a code to even get in the front door to the lobby. Even if you get that far you are not allowed to access any other part of the building without another code and an escort. We have armed guards posted a…

In the past I have found that most employees that want body piercings on display are doing it as a way to be unique. For most ees, over time this seems to fade and eventually they stop wearing them. Tatoos are not so easily removed. Have any of y…
-
The nose ring serves the same purpose as the ear ring. Its a decoration. I think most tatoos are covered. We don not ask our employees to cover them if they are at their cubes, however if they are meeting a customer they are required to cover the…
-
When I said generational I meant that in 20 years when most of us have retired, a pierced nose may qualify as business attire. Who know what cultural norms will have changed by then. None of us have a crystal ball that can see into the future. At…
-
You are most definately right, unless you live in NY or CA. I swear the two are in competition to see who can be the most pro-employee state. We have a business casual dress code and allow body piercings as long as the employee is not meeting wi…
-
Right now there are no laws protecting body piercings. I just like to be fair to all employees, if I allow ear rings I allow nose rings. If they don't see or greet customers, and look neat other wise, I don't care. However when I worked for a hea…

I agree with Dasher on this one. Only 30 years ago women were not allowed to wear pants to the office. How many of us would disagree with this policy now? Out of the 100+ women in my office, I can only think of one that wears a skirt every day. …
-
I don't think you are required to sperate them but we are going to start seperating ours. We are going to have a performance review folder, a benefits/medical file, a 401K and Pension file and a general file for everything else.
-
I have another question? We are in the process of re-drafting our retention policy. One of the things we are looking at is creating 4 seperate personnel records for each employee. One of the folders would contain medical information and benefit i…

You may want to mention the reduction of turnover (if that was an issue before you started). The last figure I had was $3000 for each turnover and that was three years ago. Hope this helped!

I would not hire this guy. If he is starting trouble even before he is an actual employee, you are asking for trouble. We had a temp working here, who wanted a full time job, that trashed the company a couple of times. We ended the assignment imm…
-
You are not required to give work that you do not have. Did you fire the "employee/temp" or did she just stop calling in for work assignments? If she is the one that ended the relationship, you have done no wrong. Make sure you have any and all d…

I agree with Parabeagle, this is not an appropriate us of the companies e-mail system. I do not have a copy of it but at my last job our policy specifically stated any electronic communication that contained any information that could be found offe…

I think the difference was that it happened out side of normal work hours and this person was more like a friend than a regular ee. I know I probably sound like a cold hearted new endland liberal, but I would not have written that statement.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-22-03 AT 10:32AM (CST)[/font][p]I think everyone should believe in something, however, I would not bring that to work. No one I work with knows my religious beliefs. The reason, I don't want anyone …

Just a question, why would you need two bibles sitting on your desk? Like NJJel, I am not in the bible belt. We have an employee in our HR department that is born again and she makes this know to everyone she meets. Unfortunately only about half …

I am glad that we are all able to express our opinions and experiences here. This was indeed a hot topic and I enjoyed the debate. Thank you for your question.
