  • Decades ago managing sick leave use was easier and more acceptable. With FMLA,ADA, and other federal and state laws, not to mention the changing culture, it is far more difficult. Exempt and even non ex. employees feel unfairness when other employee…
    in Absences, Exempt Employee and BIG BROTHER - this is long Comment by lee2 September 2006
  • Sorry. "legal status to work in US" - the whole I-9 thing.
    in Interview question Comment by lee2 July 2006
  • My approach, with 40 yrs. in HR, is to identify the functions that HR is expected to perform and explain what it takes in hours per week, and qualifications to do it. I also make suggestions about what ought or ought not to be done by HR. If I,m lim…
    in Survey-Size of your Human Resource Department Comment by lee2 June 2006
  • Would appreciate copy also. [email]lhall@cfcsyakima.org[/email] Thanks, Lee
    in Suspected Spousal Abuse Comment by lee2 May 2006
  • Guess I'd like to hitchhike on this. Our new policy says all ee's(exempt also) do not accrue nor can they use sick leave untill after the intro.(6mos) period. Paid holidays the same. Vacation begins accruing on DOH but cannot be used untill after in…
    in new salaried employee pay Comment by lee2 January 2006
  • I think you are right to be looking around. It sounds like it would come down to a you vs. him and a lack of loyalty. The board would support him. I was in a similar organization years ago. There was great carnage. The VP turnover was almost 500% …
    in Hostile Work Environment - TX Comment by lee2 November 2005
  • PTO would be a lot simpler to administer.
    in Leave for Parents Comment by lee2 August 2005
  • I second Judith's comment - A decent consultant should be able to give you a good answer with 3-5 hrs work.
    in Loyalty or what? Comment by lee2 July 2005
  • Since I don't see any posts I'll share my experiences. With 4 decades in HR I've done many such surveys and have found the following to be helpful in getting substantial and honest responses as well as building trust and support with employees. 1. P…
    in Employee Survey Comment by lee2 December 2004
  • Guess I have a different experience. With over 35 years of designing, implementing, and administering performance appraisals, my judgement is that they are like many other HR policies - if they are administered properly they quite valuable; if they …
    in Eliminating Performance Appraisals Comment by lee2 March 2004
  • Agree with all that has been said and would add another element. Have had a similar situation occur a few times and have told the employee who was walking out that - if you leave this meeting before we are finished you will be terminated for insubor…
    in Termination Meeting Comment by lee2 August 2003
  • Termination for a first offense? Seems a bit heavy after six years of good work.
    in Fired one of my assistants Comment by lee2 July 2003
  • Sounds like one of the biggest problems is and will be boss support for the actions you will probably have to take. Get the boss on board!!
    in HR too nice. Comment by lee2 July 2003
  • Meet with employees, spell out the situation, ask for ideas, continue to meet as ideas are evaluated and implemented. Keeping employees involved not only makes sense from a morale perspective, they often have excellent ideas.
    in Cut Back Over $10 Million From Company's Budget Comment by lee2 May 2003
  • Another thought: consider a TQM approach.
    in Quality Policy Comment by lee2 April 2003
  • Sounds like an attitude type survey would be a good first step.
    in Morale Problem Comment by lee2 October 2002
  • How do you get fingerprint checks in one or two days?
    in Employee Background Checks Comment by lee2 October 2002
  • I've gone through this a few times. The approach which works best for me is to meet with employees, explain why cuts are needed and ask them for ideas. I usually share five or six examples. Their participation in the process has resulted in better u…

  • Been in HR for 35yrs. Worked for eight organizations. HR director for 30 yrs. Have BS and MS in Bus. Ad. - Personnel Mgmt.
    in HR Poll Comment by lee2 July 2002
  • It seems we still have a difference of opinion about the law here. Anyone want to clarify?
