  • Thanks for the clarification - I thought that was the case ...but with HIPPA issues I didn't know if that was now playing a factor -because drug testing is or I thought was a medical test result...guess not We are squared away I think since only th…
  • I had a comparison grid prepared last week when his performance became an issue under review for 90 days and he needed to be terminated. He had the lowest performance score of everyone in Operations at a 1.54 The next lowest score just under aver…
  • We take the Company Plane....Southwest Airlines..... We always book online and if overseas..same thing the cheapest way to go - if ugrades are needed then the employee can upgrade. The employee keeps all bonuses mileage/trips from travel as a way …
  • FSLA Fair Standards and Labor Act. not FMLA so the company can make a benefits marker of 35 hours? it is not regualted by law at 30 hours somewhere?
  • thank you. thank you for the answer. I was sure I didn't have to give signed form to him - but couldn't locate the right information. No, I do not think the employee told his father the real reason - or he told him that I had accused him and made …
  • The ex-ee is asking for a copy of the termination form he signed. I don't think I have to give it to him..it ia a part of my company's records. That is the question.
  • No no more to the story. I know that I give nothing to the father since the 18-year-old is a legal adult. My question is on Texas law. He can examine his file if he wishes or not. He cannot take anything with him, or copy anything correct? We d…
  • Obviously he could have also called in and said he was sick - but since he was drunk he prbably wasn't thinking straight except that he shouldn't drive and attempt to work... thank goodness he didn't come in, and if this presents itself as a pattern…
  • We have similar scenarios. Employees coming to work who are really sick because they don't have sick time. We really don't earn 'much' sick itme here - five days year accrued over the year. Unfortunately I had a graphic designer who was very sick …
  • I own a restaurant and the men's room is rarely out of paper towels or soap thus they don't wash.....the women's room is out of both constantly. And yes my employees wash after and also when they return to the kitchen. It is required. Men just don'…

  • Good question. According to my doctors - it had nothing to do with it. In fact, I have become more clean since - based on their orders - I wash longer etc. They said that resistant germs are becoming more prevelant and to get them off of you you…

  • Call me paranoid, but, I wash my hands for the duration of the time it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" because the doctor's say that is the best length of time, I wash with anitbacterial soap even though it is the actual scrubbing motion that removes…

  • I have always let the applicant know I will be running a background check on them and the resource I use requires a birthdate and full name - I give them the choice of giving it to me or copy their driver's license. If they are applying for a drivin…
  • I informed the Director of Operations -- the manager's supervisor - we both agreed that the supervisor could not keep it confidential and not to tell him
  • I don't want to hire him...the supervisor does..and I am HR. The manager is a long-time fried of they guy (from childhood) and has no idea about the results of the background..I am sure the manager will not keep the information confidential if I te…
  • The traffic incident - he is a young black man - he was stopped on a traffic issue - he was told - however during the course of the stop the officer said he saw seeds in his car (very small town -suburb high income areas - and our establishment is i…
  • replies have been great. On scenario number one. The employee has been absent from work for 5 days of scheduled work. We have since made arrangements with another employee and hiring to fill his spot, by rescheduling another to daytime and hiring…
  • oh..no I don't use a third party, I use the Texas Department of Public Safety online Records Service. I conduct it myself online Plus in scenari one he was orgiannly hired despite his priors (that hadn't shown up yet)...since they weren't job-rela…
  • FCRA..fair credit and reporting?
  • We have not allowed others to have someone else call in for them to 'save their job'....if they were sick they call in sick and come back the next scheduled day......plus he is being terminated because of excessive absenses. He has been with us fo…
  • Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate your candor.
  • I made that same arguement for 12 months and 1250 hours - she has hours - the owner is claiming she has to have both..12 months and at least 1250 hours..not one or the other? I think we are boxed in as well - by the law having extended her job to…
  • thanks for your reply. Yes I understand they must both be treated the same. However, does the pregnancy employee qualify for FMLA if she has been out on unpaid leave for 5 weeks prior because of a medical condition? Wasn't and isn't she protected …
  • Thank you and everyone for your assistance. I wish I didn't have to be in this situation, but I don't have a choice right now...just got re-employed after being laid off for more than 7 months didn't want to come here...but it was my best option fo…
  • That's my question exactly.... Does everyone else have to stay and work in this environment? The smell is literally nauseating. Everyone continues to step outside for air. None of the four owners have been in the past 3 days. As an HR director …
  • thanks for the advice. I did get out yesterday and have had negative comments regarding it. We are a small company. I did contact the local OSHA group this morning and they offered to come out to assist, however, my company doesn't want assistanc…
  • Thanks. We had an exterminator out last week who baited for the rat problem - the bait that obviusly killed the rat. Thanks for tip on type of bait. They have worked to find the rat but can't. So how do we handle air quality issue with worker…
