In many states, the an employee will qualify for FML if they, or a member of their immediate family is a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault. If your state has adopted these statutes, you may wish to put her on leave for a while so that s…

Thank you - you've confirmed what the logical part of my brain was already telling me.

Everyone has made a lot of good observations here - I just wanted to add a PSA to the thread: Although this particular employee has admitted as to why he smells of alcohol, employers should be made aware that some medical conditions, such as diabet…

In a fine dining environment, it is not considered proper to push food onto one's fork with either bread or knife. Neither should a diner wield a fork in a clubbed fist, eat steak off the end of a knifepoint, stick the whole bowl of a soup spoon int…

Did ya'll happen to notice what happened to HP's stock upon announcement of the termination? They'll make that severance back - no problem.

All employees in our company are subject our Drug-Free Workplace Policy from top officers on down to line operators. We require pre-employment, random, post accident, and for cause testing. Since all employees are treated the same regardless of wh…

I've had applicants bring these with them on a few occasions. Generally I will consider the PA, but also keep in mind that perhaps the applicant has had a problem in their workplace since the PA was done that would keep them from getting a good ref…

I guess I should qualify why my opinion is a bit different. I worked for over 20 years in public safety and was responsible for responding to many, many suicide calls that turned into homicides as well.
-
There is often a fine line between suicide and homicide. I would not send another employee to physically visit with the term'd ee. I would make a telephone call. If you choose to go the EAP route and the ee agrees, great...however, if the term'd e…

I agree with other posters that your administration needs to reconsider contacting a labor attorney. If however, they are resolute to not do so and you must proceed, do not give any information other than what is explicity requested. If you're sued…

We use [url]www.validex.com[/url] for license checks, criminal background, they also can supply credit checks, etc. Rates are reasonable.

We also pay time off for the time and the physical whether the employee is currently using the license for us or not. We do this to keep a larger pool of trained employees available as needed. We have a budget for physicals that includes pre-hire,…

Tread carefully when considering reporting this situation. What does your corporate attorney have to say about possible HIPPA violations? If your primary concern is that an employee may create an unsafe work environment due to abuse of prescription …

I would agree to the suggestion that employees have a physical with certificate before beginning any new fitness program. In addition to the suggestions listed above I would consult with a good trainer to determine what types of equipment you plan …

We pay employees for any leave time that they have accrued - Our leave time is not separated into personal days, vacation, or sick days, it's just PTO, to be used as they deem appropriate.

Our ee's rotating shift schedule is posted a year in advance and has a lot of built-in time off. Our volunteer ff can easily schedule their on call and training time. If they are working a fire and are tardy due to their volunteer work, we do not di…

Thanks - will look forward to hearing from you and will pass along any insights

Sorry to post the repeat.. Don - It's been awhile since I've been on the Mississppi - I usually get to Beale St. in Memphis a couple of times in a year. Shotgun delta house? No problem - will work for food if the music is right. Will look for the…

Don - I replied to your message, although I don't know if I did it right. Thanks. If you didn't receive it, the short answer is: the nails are not curvy - shiny and sensible, but not curvy. The long answer was a lot better. Zen drywall is a method…

Don - The manicured nails are sensibly short, but buffed and polished, the easier to type and fight fires with, my dear. Zen drywall is achieved by floating joint compound that has been beaten to a creamy consistency (using DeWalt pro series drill…

ohmygosh! I'm so confused now! I am biological female - completely. Long hair, manicured nails, curvy. I love to wear my strappy sandals and salsa dance in a girly twirly skirt. But I fight fires and and teach rescue training. I cook awesome jamb…

Popeye - I live in TN, work in KY - has it stopped raining where you are yet? It's starting to clear here - so I don't have a good excuse to empty any bottles..drat!

We often have the same issue here. If hired, they are ours and paid - if the offer is conditional, they're on their own. Don, you surprise me - I've been lurking this forum for a little while and have never read your posts to be anything but con…

Perhaps employees can be instructed to keep polite conversation to safe topics such as the weather, as even discussion of favorite sports teams or NASCAR drivers can incite strong feelings. (Just kidding)

Samantha - Different states may have different point systems - Our company requires we insure all of our employees to drive both general service and emergency response vehicles. We only hire those drivers who have 3 or fewer speeding tickets in th…

First time posting on the forum - I don't mean to butt in, but I think that your company needs to be aware of the potential for workplace violence in this situation. If this ee's soon-to-be-ex has no qualms calling and making accusations, and the e…
