  • I guess it depends on how long your fingers are. :-)
    in Dress Code Comment by valentine May 2003
  • We have a posted dress code with examples of the types of clothing not to be worn such as jeans of no kind, including jean skirts. No tee shirts. No spagetti straps or tight clothing, mini skirts, etc. It pretty much spells things out clearly so …

  • I agree with balloonman. You have nothing to lose except time to go and appeal and you may win. In those cases, I usually appeal and have come out 50/50. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
  • I don't think you can if the doctor doesn't think she is contagious. Of course, you could always have her go see a physician of your choosing for a second opinion. You'd have to pick up the cost. You could also give her a paid leave if your boss …
  • I also agree with whatever. When someone gives us a verbal warning. I also send them a formal letter accepting their resignation on such and such a date. That way I have the effective date and resignation acceptance in writing if ever needed.
  • This is the first I've heard of the Act -- but it seems that the company would be saving money by using the comp time instead of having to pay time and a half for overtime. I'm not sure I understand it, but it seems to be on the same idea of employ…
  • Right you are Hatchetman: In my company it is the Department Head the staff person goes to first. They then come to me for the paperwork. I think the persons DH would need to know how long they will be out in order to work around their absence. …
  • Thank you all for your great responses. I should be able to get a pretty good insight into the candidate; however, as we all know there are those who are "expert interviewees" and can pass anything thrown at them only to end up being the employee f…
  • Thank you Margaret. I especially like the last one. I wonder how many would answer that one truthfully.
  • aah!! a true competitor.
  • Thanks for the great question Don. You can change it around to get a variety of answers. It is definitely a thought provoking question and one any applicant would have to stop and think about. I am curious. Did it stump you? I'm not sure I'd be…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-01-03 AT 02:12PM (CST)[/font][p]Huh?? can't you interview in pants especially if they are in a wad??? :-) I haven't figured out how to use the emoticons yet. The instructions say to use the short c…
  • You never know what lurks in the hearts of men -- especially on this forum. :-)
  • Go to the harrassment post on the forum. It will tell you all you need to know and then some. :-)
  • my e-mail address is [email]godfrey@lcsnet.com[/email] Thank you so much. Those questions you have sound terrific.
  • Thanks Cindy. I'm going to check it out.
  • These are reallly good. Thank you. I'm curious about the book. Can it be purchased?
  • we've used that one too. I like it when the applicant says "Gee I don't have any weaknesses."
  • We do use a similar question but it is generic. What would someone who doesn't like you say about you? This question 9 out of 10 times throws the applicant. I've had applicants say gee I don't know. I don't know anyone who doesn't like me. BRRP…
  • the actual interview. We are a retirement community and we do have standard questions we use but they don't really give us a good feedback. We're looking to get at more character type questions for the best fit. The DH can fill in the questions t…
  • The employee who threatened action may be thinking of going for a harassment suit. That would be the logical step, I think. If you have documented everything, and it appears you have, and you have disciplined the employee then you shouldn't have a…
  • We do a four day work week during the summer months. It is left up to each department to schedule their employees. EE get paid their normal pay we pay bi-weekly and it works like this. Instead of 8 hours ee work 10 hours for four days a week and t…
  • Oops! I meant can you juggle wearing many pants. Leaving out the many certainly changes the meaning :-) I'm glad to know you can juggle wearing pants -- I'll leave it at that.
  • Don my brother-in-law is from Kentucky and uses the same colorful language. Are you perhaps from the same area? You have to excuse us uptight Northerners. :-)
  • Thanks Leslie.
  • Can you juggle wearing the pants at the same time??? PS: How do you get the emoticons in your messages??
  • They should all check into a rehab center!! Talk about disfunctional families!! But who am I to talk? I have a few weird relatives in a closet that might fit right in with the Osbournes!
  • Please don't leave the forum. It sounds like you have some genuine frustration with the lack of policies, rightly so. You can get some great advice here, if you take it with a grain of salt. I haven't been on the forum long but I have learned not…
  • I think there are a couple of things you could do here. 1. Cut the leaving employee back to part time until she leaves 2. Pay out severance pay and have her leave early 3. Set up a schedule with both employees and have them job share until the c…
  • The red nose will get you every time :-)
