  • Helena, One more if you please...this sounds like a great document Fax 509-326-5223
  • Thanks for you input. I think that we will adopt a "over 8" policy and keep reminding them of how gracious we are.
  • I agree w/E Wart. As president of a IT security firm, I have seen and been involved in way too many of these types of scenarios. I recommend you have a discrete IT firm on-site prior and when you perform the termination and they can then immediate…
  • One last item - have her sign a release and severance. You get what you want, she gets some dough and you can sleep easier!
  • Thank you all. It seems that employees believe that they should be compensated more if they are away.
  • thanks to all. Self assesment is what I do on a continuing basis, I have to in order to survive. Our firm has (now) 10 ee's that work hard and enjoy where they work. 3 of them have stated to me that they will stay here till they retire. One has…
  • Thank all of you for your input - I truly appreciate it. Its funny how ee's cry out for loyalty from employers, but when it's them - it's a different tune. True, Don, that ee's have become very ficle when it comes to employers and can change on …
  • thx Crout, Great perspective - very much appreciated.
  • thx TN, exit interviews are good. But all they have pointed to is the money. The surveys are gauged to the state, West coast, and business sizes. They seem accurate, I think it's just the blip as said earlier.
  • Yea,I can understand if a guy was employeed for a year or two, but 5 months? I was just blown over on that one, didn't even give it time. The new job pays 65% over this. perhaps it is a blip, it just kinda stings.
  • Sure. In 92' we had 4 non-exempt ee's sue for no breaks or lunchs (I could not monitor as they are in the field). It was a get-even thing, and very hard to produce documentation that I denied them breaks/lunches. This drug on for months, and we fi…
  • I agree with you Don D. I own an IT consulting organization. The 2 people that you want to be the most trustworthy are the CFO and the IT guy. The IT guy owns the keys to the kingdom. All it takes is some booze and some dares and he will spill…
  • Thanks Don, always nice to get noticed. I've always disliked polices (as an employee). Now that I am a business owner, I feel like I'm always creating a new policy for those mor(e)on's that try to weasel or abuse the business. Kinda falles unde…
  • Our business sells services and software solutions. The sw vendor is offering a trip for the regions highest sellers. We've never qualified before, but we may soon. Personally, I don't like it. But it is demoralizing if the owner (who is me) ge…
  • So, did it help you make your company more successful? Or did it make you an "evil and greedy" sales person?
  • see above post.
  • It happens that the ee was going to take 2 weeks vacation next week, and I combined them together. In retrospect, it may have been too severe, and I may drop it to 1 week. The issues were drinking, harrassment, code of conduct (basically all out o…
  • Thanks for your inputs. Am looking at the FSLA documents now.
  • Thank you for your input. We have suspended the ee for 3 weeks w/o pay. We will meet on a return day and determine if he is to return to a full ee, and at what status.
  • I don't use a forumla, but I do have them sign a doc that says I will pay them the severence if they release all rights to any lawsuit. Just good protection these days.
  • And, Oh yes...I have change the passwords. They obtained those via a protocol analyzer while they were still employed.
  • Thanks for the swift responses! I have contacted the FBI and my Atty, and we are in the process of building the case. I was wondering if anybody else has experienced this and what the result(s) were?
  • My firm has also been plagued by Spam, it cuts severly into real productivity, not to mention the liability it gives you...we recently developed a resonably priced network appliance that manages spam, virus attachments and more. These have been sell…
  • Mine is simple....don't drive while on the cell phone. If you get a call...don't answer it until you've pulled off the road and stopped. Although, most don't abide by it...and it's pretty impossible to enforce.
  • I've heard of this before...and it is a bunch of hooey. I have 11 "system engineers" on staff and have always called them engineers. The case I heard was in Texas...and as I recall, it was tossed out. You might try google.com to search on this ca…
