How about having your reference call us and beg us to give you a job before you've even filled out or turned in the application? Not to mention, said reference calls HR Assistant, Director and then the CEO pushing that the applicant needs a job and…

I didn't think anyone under 18 had any rights - your parents own you and everything you do! Maybe the real thieves are the courts for wasting tax dollars!

We run the draw through payroll. My payroll assistant is saying that it creates some sort of negative accumulator that cant' be carried into next year. I'm not sure I understand it all and am looking for guidance...

Can it be a blanket statement (i.e. the employee agrees to pay for any outstanding amount owed) or does it have to be the employee signing for a specific amount (i.e. employee agrees to $XX dollars)? Any wording I've seen from our local wage and ho…

I checked with our counsel and she said that if we have a program and an application that states that the internship is unpaid, it is for the benefit of the intern and that there is no expectation of employment upon commencement of the internship we…

The board is very vague about how much they want to save. Overall, in my opinion, there isn't going to be bottom line savings - we just re-structured and added several additional positions. So any savings realized by this is going to take a small …

The certification says the leave is for depression. Can we deny leave time if the certification says "yes" she needs leave but the specifics of how that plays out is omitted?
-
Actually that's my question - is this considered an attendance program? (i.e. they get bonus PTO for not using unpaid or sick time?) They could conceivably call in sick and not have to take any sick or unpaid time because they have to use PTO for…

I called the state Worker's Comp bureau. The state law or code does say that for the first 10 days the employer "may" direct the injured employee to a physician of the employers choice (I knew that part). The bureau also said that it was up to our …

We have a separate file called a "confidential" file for things like that including the summary. If it resulted in a disciplinary action then that document would go in her personnel file.

We don't do anything on company time for these type of events. For Birthdays we do have an employee or two who volunteer to send a bag of candy, a coupon for a free dress down and a card to everyone on their birthday. We used to do what was called…

Funny you should mention this, I ask myself this all the time! I cannot even count the number of times that I get the cold shoulder because a co-worker I was friendly with didn't like something HR related that happened to them, a friend or a relati…

I did the same thing Caroliso. I put in firm deadlines as well. I have more tolerance for someone who tells me they aren't going to get it done on time rather than someone who doesn't communicate at all and I find out they aren't done and have to …

Nietra - to answer your question, yes roll is taken where I work in the instance of a tornado drill or fire drill (or the actual thing). I work at a financial institution with our main office being about 70 employees. We have a documented disaster…

I think it's also going to depend on the structure of your organization as well. Does the HR dept handle payroll? I know in some places the accounting department handles it but at others it's in the HR department. We have over 125 employees wher…

I cannot offer an outline per se but a good website to check out is monster.com. There's a lot of good information there on those topics and it's geared toward job seekers.

Wow! All you asked for was help with the DOL report and you got all this! Makes for great discussion though! I'm just wondering with all of the transitions this employee is making what restroom is he/she using? Men's or Women's?
-
George, you've gotten some good advice here. We are a financial institution and we check credit reports on all new hires - of course we have them sign something agreeing to it which generally brings out an issue they think we should know about (but…

We do not personally give lie detector tests we leave that up to the police! We did have an occasion where an employee was missing $8000 in cash from her cash drawer. We filed a police report and as part of their investigation they asked suspects …
-
I agree with your advice Sonny - let it go and move on quickly. I'm still learning - sometimes I blow it like what happened in this case. Our concern was/is that we would have a lot of employees walk off our frontline at two different branches…

The staff at one of our branch locations were concerned that they were exposed to TB and they were concerned for the customers as well. They brought this information to my attention. Update! Well, I certainly learned my lesson here! I called the …

I'm really hoping she's wearing pants and not a skirt when she does this propping her foot on her knee thing....then maybe you've got other issues! Yuck!

I'm betting she calls to re-schedule or something...

Just curious but is the COO having a change of heart on this one? Did the employee outline "specific" reasons why she thinks that her pregnancy is the real issue? We have had many ex or soon to be ex-employees go to our CEO because he has this …

Thanks for the advice - we did decide on individual meetings. The first one didn't go well. The employee forwarded the innapropriate e-mail to her home e-mail address because a manager told her it was okay to do that. She wants the disciplinary a…

We've been discussing this further and checking e-mails to see who is forwarding this stuff on...we've have about 10 people that have spread it through our company. We're thinking about pulling them all together presenting a written memo on why f…

Hi Catherine! I certainly don't envy your position right now! I work at a financial institution and we had one of "those" types of managers here. When we addressed the behavior or wrongdoing he always had some stupid excuse. Sometimes the way he…

Maybe I am off base here, but I have a hard time punishing an employee for someonelse's issues. It sounds like the employee isn't there when he calls. In this situation we never give out that type of information to someone on the phone. We would …

HR Hazel - I feel your pain. I used to supervise an accounting dept where we had the payroll and I was constantly in the middle of the HR director (not my boss) and my payroll clerk. Finally the HR director moved payroll to her dept and the functi…
