  • ACU Frank: The applicant asked for our privacy policy so he would have some assurances that we would not, for example, post his transcripts on the internet. What would prevent us from doing that without a privacy policy? Sharon: I am confused. …
  • ACU Frank and Paul, Had a chance to view "In this Together" video in its entirety. Its simple, direct and common sense orientation was on target for our purposes. Many thanks. Brad, Other than a 2 minute offering of "The Plus of Us" I was unabl…
  • Holly, Thanks to you and Sharon for following up on my question. It was, apparently, a bit of a stumper. And yes, the discharge was an actual dishonorable discharge, not the other, less serious forms of discharge.
  • Sharon, Veterans. Thank you.
  • DavidS, Very instructive. Thank you. Can we offer the "Night Shift Pay Differential" to the non-exempt manufacturing group only (and not the janitorial or maintenance non-exempt groups who work somewhat different hours)? Or does offering it only…
  • LindaS, Very good analysis. Would you agree that a lie told by alcoholic employee to his employer would not be protected under the ADA any more than a non ADA covered employee who told the same lie? Bragaw
  • Still Need Coffee, We have a policy of immediate termination if you are caught under the influence of alcohol. We would therefore like to terminate based on his anticipated admission that he was under the influence on numerous past occasions, his …
  • cathyb12, Yes, that is what I am wondering. Is being untruthful/lying a protected symptom of a protected disability? And if yes, is such symptom protected from the time he is in a recovery program or does it "grandfather back" to all of the times…
  • LindaS, Some very good comments. We contacted the ee's doctor directly because the ee was not forthcoming with information. That is the underlying concern we have--the ee is not being forthcoming, perhaps not being truthful and he is not providin…
  • joannie, The ee signed a waiver so that we may discuss his health issues directly with the doctor. In light of this, would you suggest sending the letter directly to the doctor with a copy to the ee? Also, what medical leave are you referring t…
  • Thank you NaeNae55. To clarify, are you saying that we may require exempt ee's that did not show up for work that day at all to use their vacation or sick time to meet their guaranteed weekly salary but that if they do not have vacation/sick time…
  • Thanks very much.
  • I appreciate your passing the information along to someone else. Seems like others may not be familiar with a wrap plan document. Hope your source can help. By the way, I've been an attorney for the past 12 years. As you know, its hard to be co…
  • ACU Frank--We do not anticipate any issues from the EE. We are a non profit company, entirely dependent on state and federal funding. We just want to know when her termination date is, i.e. when the funding ran out or when her leave ended? Can…
  • He did serve his time. Also, he was sentenced to 1 year probation which was nearly revoked because he failed to go to counseling. The revocation request was withdrawn after several months, presumably because he completed his counseling. It is pos…
  • The concern I have is that with this type of crime (moral turpitude), which does not fit within the usual analysis of job duties/position vs. crime, (i.e. crime for embezzlement for position in accounting) you still have an issue of reputation of y…
  • Good question. Our application says, "Have you ever been convicted of a felony? (Convictions are not an automatice bar to employment)." He checked the "No" box.
  • Thank you. One further question raised in your answer, what do witness fees consist of?
