  • Upon making a job offer we send app. for a pre-emp drug screen. Once that comes back negative we then do background checks that include a 7 year criminal history, workers comp history and verification of social security number. We ONLY do credit ch…
  • If you have a policy of termination for drug use you have no choice but to term these ees, key or not. First off if these are key ees this speaks sadly of your company on the whole. Second, if you don't term. then you will have to discontinue your …
  • Finding and retaining quality employees. Tired of the entitlement mentality. Want ees that show up do the job they were hired for, grateful for their paycheck and turn into long term ees. Is that really too much to ask?
  • I'm with you there Don, but I inherited the term. Don't have to type it that often though!
  • Our policy for missed punches or latenesses is 3 in 30 days is a three days suspension without pay. We do nothing until they reach 3 other than warn them when they have 2. We do have them sign a print out of each lateness to make sure they are awa…
  • Best of luck to you! Your input has been worth way more than $0.02 worth. Keep in touch if possible.
  • Samantha Q you hit the nail on the head! She called an hour and 10 min. after her scheduled time to say she was caught in traffic 50 miles away. She live 5 miles from our office. Interview was for 10:00 a.m. Once again...go figure. I told her that …
  • I don't see discrimination due to pregancy. The job requires 40 hrs period, pregnant or not. She was hired as a full time 40 hr ee and that is what is needed.
  • We only started having them pay for it after we had 4-5 in a roll fail. Since we couldn't hire them we felt this was money wasted. If the app is clean they will have no problem paying knowing that they will get their money back is our take on this…
  • Once we extend an offer the app is sent immediately for the drug screen. I tell all app on the phone before the interview to be prepared that if an offer is extended they will have to pay the $35 for the drug screen. Once a negative result is retu…
  • Best wishes for a happy and long working relationship with this move. Will you be staying in Missouri? You will be missed.
  • We go through the Department of Revenue for D L checks, it only charges us $1.25 per check! I am in MO but would think your state might do the same. My paperwork shows MO Department of Revenue Electronic Record System. Hope this helps.
  • Lead by example is own rule on this also, we have had two supervisors that are not salary and have been laid off just as their ee would have been. Of course we really drive the point home to them that we cannot have supervisors being laid off for b…
  • Just as the original post asked "where do you draw the line" then if not one minute is 2 ok if not the someone whom clocks in 3 minutes late is only one minute by that counting. Yes we are all adults so should be accountable and be able to show up …
  • Our policy is one minute late either in the morning or coming back from lunch is late. Three latenesses in 30 days constitutes and 3 day lay off without pay. A second occurrence of 3 lateness in 30 days will result in a 5 day lay off with no pay, t…
  • Not sure of the laws but we pay for any unused/accrued vacation hours but NOT personal hours.
  • I am not the immediate sup, but because things are so bad and the sup is at her wits end the President has asked me to step in. We are ready to show several the door but were hoping to go another way first and see if we can salvage them since train…
  • I think it is also a good time to go over the moonlighting policy again. Obvisouly the second job is getting in the way of her getting her rest and her position with you is suffering for it. She stays the 2nd job goes.
  • Thank you Ray, and guess I should have been more detailed. We were thinking of doing the salivia test that WE would administer. My thought are to stay away from anything we do ourselves and either as you have or send out to have 3rd party do test …
  • We do back ground checks that go back 7 years in criminal history but we ONLY do those after an offer has been made. So don't think this will help you.
  • Could a solution be that the meeting is mandatory in that we want all ees accounted for in one place while meeting is going on but it is not man. that you take part in the discussion or handouts and no one is required to donate. Just a thought. I …
  • I doubt that even in Jan. you would be giving a 45% increase, is that correct. Raises are earned and determined by job performance and not personal circumstances, at least that is how we determine.
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-17-04 AT 01:18PM (CST)[/font][br][br]We have never given an ee notice when firing regardless of the reason. I would not give serverence.
  • I agree with the others re policies that must be followed by ALL. I would be more concerned as to what she is actually concealing/carring in these cases if is not job related where is the need to cart these in everyday and what is in them.
  • For verification of ss#, immediate. For criminal and wc checks anywhere for one to two weeks. It can take much longer however if there is an extensive record for either of these checks.
  • We use Avert, their number is 888-606-7868. We pay $44.21 per ee for new hire background checks. Their customer service reps are very helpful anytime I call. You might want to check with them, they can customize the checks you need to run for you.
  • So what is this moron trying to say, that this otherwise great ee should not be allowed to better herself as she has shown she deserves but be outcast and have to resort back to being a dancer. Yeah that would show her for trying to do the right thi…
  • This too breaks my heart. My husband died 6 years ago of cancer. The school district he worked for was wonderful and let ees donate days to him while he was recovering from surgery. Never missed a days pay. He came back to work and worked til the…
  • When the diabetic ee passes out from continued marjuanna use (because if you don't term him he will continue)and injures himself or another ee who finds out you had a positive result and kept him it will not be pretty. Term now, good worker does no…
  • I think you can't go wrong with these suggested procedures, just make sure to take caution in dealing with the "SMACKED" ee. and not make her out to be the bad guy. The supervisor should have known better and now he has to face the suspension, thi…
