I saw Barry in concert in Vegas a couple of weeks ago (my husband MADE me go - he is a TOTAL Neil Diamond/Barry Manilow fan while I am a total rocker chick - AC/DC, Def Lepard etc). I totally agree with the post that he looked like a drag-queen - b…

Shirley, Would you mind emailing a copy of your form? Thanks!! [email]Melissam@waltersproduce.com[/email]

Hope this helps... "We understand that not every employee is going to “like” every other employee and WPI does not have this expectation, however WPI does EXPECT every employee to respect each other regardless of the grievances an employee may have…

We are a potato warehouse and 99% of our employees are seasonal/full-time. Our work schedules are done by "season" not by year, usually September - July (just depends on those darn potatoes). We shut-down every Julyish and furlough everyone then w…

Hi Janice, I agree with the others posters and have included a paragraph from our policies regarding these type of absences. While this policy was created for "general laborers" and not office personnel, I agree that these "flu-Friday and blue-Mon…

Most recently a similiar question was answered when the question of "donning & doffing" (sp?) uniforms was compensable. It was decided that since this was a requirement of the job, you had to pay a reasonable amount of time for that action BUT …

We use Qqest timekeeping system. It requires a swipe card AND fingerprint to eliminate buddy punching. It is integratable with some payroll software i.e. quickbooks.

Your response sealed my deal. Yes, we are a community property state and the LAST thing we want to do is divert money that is "technically" 1/2 our employees' spouses!! Thanks to all!

Thanks! for all your messages. I have been trying to talk our kind-hearted president out of this and while he is a little hesitant to try this, I was hoping for some "thou shalt nots" so-to-speak to force the issue dead.

The questions you need to ask/clarify are: 1. Have you issued her a pager/cell phone and she is "free" to roam and do other activities while waiting to be called (go shopping, see a movie, etc.) or is she stuck at home waiting for your call. 2. …

I "suffer" with the same problem of "year-end bonus" syndrome. I am sharing this caution because I came upon it a couple of years ago - I believe (PLEASE someone correct me if I am wrong) that if you have non-exempt/hourly employees and you base th…

Do you have a policy regarding w/c accident reporting and if so did EE follow policy as written and are there any disciplinary steps if not followed? I would inform my w/c carrier ASAP of the situation including what appears to be resistance to tak…

There are always risks when terminating an employee BUT at-will means you can terminate the employer-employee relationship at any time, for any reasons EXCEPT a discriminatory one. If you have allowed other "probationary employees" 21+ days of sick…

I would consider your attendance policy as a possible issue for a lay-off in light of being absent for 6 weeks already which was not covered by FMLA. Also where does this employee sit with seniority? For me these two issues would be enough for me to…

If I am misunderstanding your post, please pardon my response... Have you had complaints from patients about your current PT and if so have you documented them? Has your reviews with the employee included conversations regarding these complaints o…

Our harassment policy also includes discipline for any employee who knowingly reports false accusations. False accusations can sometimes be more detrimental than actual problems and it sounds like your problem EE has a history of this behavior. I …

How do you "know" that employee is illegal? Did you use E-verify or did someone tell you?
-
When you read the the Fair Credit Report Act - the Consumer Credit Protective Act - IMO - there is some language that states that this information cannot be shared or that the consumer must approve "who" sees this information. Since garnishments ar…

This is a good question to debate! Here are some questions to think about - I'm not giving advice or even an opinion on this issue just asking because I just don't know what I would do so ... yes it is "just" smoking BUT your EE is BREAKING a law…
-
If he checked that he was a citizen in section 1 and showed you a valid drivers license and SS card, and at the time of hiring they appeared genuine, your good. However if he checked that he was a permanent resident or an alien authorized to work, …

I agree, our policy states that if you have a known communicable disease, you may not return to work until you are medicall cleared. I would treat this just like EE had pnemonia, flu or any other contagious illness - as an illness that EE needs to …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-29-07 AT 04:37PM (CST)[/font][br][br]First - Irie is correct - you don't need to reverify this employee because we are assuming that the card shown was valid at the time of original hire. Resident Al…

I-151 & I-551 cards issued prior to 1989 are valid indefinately BUT all cards issued after that year have expiration dates. You must reverify with new documentation. I would also assume that your employee would definately want to reverify sinc…

aliciac - upon reading your posts, just wanted to put my two-cents in. 1. Your original post indicates there were "days" between the incident and when #2 went on vacation. Was there an interview conducted with him about this incident prior to h…

Some observations on a VERY touchy situation: 1. Do you keep copies of EVERY ss card AND form of identification for EVERY employee - because if you DON'T, you can't use this copy to support discipline or termination. (also FYI...keeping copies of…

Thanks for all your advice. This friend and his supervisor just don't get along and while the owner and other members of management team think he (my friend) is awesome and does a great job - he and manager just don't mesh. He actually doesn't hav…

Without knowing exactly "why" your CEO wants to implement age limits (insurance, accidents, W/C claims?) the following is just my "opinion". I would think that if you had two employees with the same experience and productivity capabilities but one…

My "opinion" based upon experience...those who want to become citizens already know how and are working on it. Those who don't want to or can't will probably read between the imaginary lines and BELIEVE that your attempt to target and inform is rea…

I agree with the other poster. If the employee's card was valid when you hired them and it expires during their employment, you need only have them go and renew the card but they are still eligible to be employed (as long as they begin the process o…

OC Tanner is in Salt Lake City - they designed the medals for 2002 winter olympics. They are an awesome company with BEAUTIFUL things but beware - they are a little pricey!! I would LOVE to get a service award from them!!!
