What are the topic areas of technical expertise you require? Can the writer telecommute from out of state? There are several recruiting sites for topic-specific writers.

My opinion - there is no substitute for requiring employees to call in and speak with their manager, in person. If the employee calls twice, leaves messages both times and has demonstrated that the supervisor cannot be reached, then it is OK to leav…

I once had an interviewee hug me at the end of the interview. Funny thing was that the interview was far from warm and fuzzy (not that a hug would have been appropriate in any circumstance)!!

I think we need to distinguish between co-workers' healthy relationships and a supervisor/subordinate. Employers should not be in the place of trying to referee budding romance between co-workers. So long as everyone can handle a break-up in a matur…

You definitely did the right thing by advising management in the way you did. Now, the employee needs to be assured. However, if the employee's conduct (in or out of work) has an effect on her performance or her co-workers performance, then you will…

I believe that many of the same principles apply for staff development, but on a global spectrum. For example, global sourcing, selection based on future needs, good orientation and mentoring programs based locally and globally, lots of training ba…

Take a look at a past discussion in this forum at http://community.blr.com/hr/forums/thread/1507.aspx

Make sure that you have the system in place to folow through in deed (not just in word), and the financial backing to adequately reward those performers who do earn it. Make sure that the employees understand the goals, and have zero expectation tha…

If the severance agreement is structured as a lump sum, offered in exchange for a waiver or some other form of agreement where the employee gives something up in exchange for the commission, then I think you cannot include the commission earned in t…

In an appellate court case (Blair vs. Defender Services), it was determined that an employer may be liable for the acts of an employee when: "An employer in placing a person with known propensities, or propensities which should have been discovered…

You are right, it is up to dissatisfied employees to petition the represented employees and either ask NLRB to hold a decertification election, or ask the employer to withdraw recognition, depending on the outcome of the peition. Employees who want …

From what I know, under Massachusetts law, a discharged employee must be paid in full on the day of the termination of his or her employment. Any employee who resigns must be paid on the next regular payday (MA Gen. Laws Ch. 149 Sec. 148). Althoug…

Don't jump the gun. Wait till you have the offer letter and have accepted before you tell your boss. Only tell your boss in person, then follow up in wirting as a formal notice. (email notice only is crass). If it means working an extra week or two,…

Well, in order to be a FMLA-covered serious health condition, the illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition must involve either inpatient care (i.e., an overnight stay in a hospital, hospice, or residential care facility) or conti…

I have to agree that particularly vicious gossip is detrimental to morale, production and the general atmosphere at work. I for one, am tired of idle gossip (or any other kind of gossip). Don't people have better things to talk about . . .?!!

What is so interesting to me is that this issue has been raised again and again, and yet it only seems to be getting worse. Maybe with the new "family responsibilities" discrimination cases coming up, compensation will also start to be a related cla…

There also may be issues under the NLRA if you interfere with a group of employees discussing a plan to participate. Could be concerted activity under NLRA.

There are some good state resources on the national council of legislatures site at http://www.ncsl.org/programs/employ/topmenu.htm for state laws, but you'll probably have to purchase a resource from a publisher for training info.

The answer to your question depends on the state in which you operate. We have a state law that allows an employer to charge against an employee's regular pay during the time the employee is absent while serving as a volunteer emergency responder to…
