I agree. Thanks for wrapping this up.

We're missing the point on the Ellerth case. The initial incident that prompted this explosion in the Ellerth case is very different from what happened in this instance. It's quite obvious. The point is, it went to the Supreme Court. It is possi…

Ooops, I thought it meant that I had a free pass. I said some pretty crass things to a few ladies, but they were nice enough to accept my apologies. Everything worked out fine for me. Whewww!!!!

OK, this is just sad. In regards to the Ellerth case, the part you don't see is a full fledged investigation at every location in the COmpany...searching for every minor inconsistency in how every claim was handled. Every single one!!! When you c…

When people sue companies, its a an ugly process of getting to the facts. The EEOC and lawyers make this an incredibly ugly process. I always advocate as little HR crap as possible, but in this case, you've got to be consistent in your investiga…

HR SHOULD investigate this. YOu've gotten word of a situation, so do what's REQUIRED and investigate. Do you just let the other managers handle harassment issues on their own? The schmo who made the comment has been disciplined in the past? and h…

There are lots of words in hostile work environment law, but the most important states that you are liable if you knew or SHOULD HAVE known about the behavior. It also mentions frequency in that if it happens more than once, you're screwed, given t…

I cannot begin to express how excited I am to see people using the term mumbo jumbo. I have a warm, tingling feeling in my tummy right now. I wholeheartedly agree...lots and lots of mumbo jumbo. I think the Government should hire SteelBoy as a co…

Don, why must we make things so difficult. I said Just Do It and hold people accountable. The original poster seemed to understand this. Do we have to go down this long and bumpy road of listing all of the obvious...wc, OSHA fines, etc...blah blah…

OK, this is just painful. If we could harness the amount of energy that has gone into this exchange, we could move a 550 lb barrell. We keep our job descriptions as vague as possible. Most of our facilities only list physical requirements for an …

I'd fire porn man and job seeker, then communicate the policy, and probably never look at their computers again. Think of how many people who post on this site would be fired if their employer knew how much time they spent on this site??? Deal wit…

Face validity is important...i.e. references your workplace. However, giving the same test to all applicants is very beneficial in that you can track success based on certain trends you find in the tests. We use a customized, internally develope…

You can eliminate a position whenever you like. Doesn't seem like there is much question as to the necessity of the position since nobody has been attending to it for the past four months. Seems like she has already been laid off since she's not d…

Nice observation Don. Just to play it safe since you have many ee's that have an issue with this, I'd recommend speaking to each person separately should they come forward to complain. Union or non-union, always good to avoid having a group collec…

Ohhhh, how I love employment law. It's an at will state, BUT what about these other things.... PPPFFFTTTTTT Sad that those items need to be considered when someone is stealing. I hope you have it documented nicely so you can pull the trigger wit…

I agree. I think wimp is putting it nicely. I would tell your MD that by allowing the employee to come back, he/she is sending a message that its ok for people to yell and swear at you. (in addition to other issues) You might be rather blunt abou…

I agree with the testosterone injection. If you need some, I know of a good source. I also agree that termination based on the sample usage is fairly weak. What is more important is that you have a slackard that complains alot. Get 'em out!!! S…

Nice post. Titles are worthless. Actions count. If someone is hung up on a title, they've got some issues.

I agree. o I also agree that an employee may be concerned about disclosing his/her job search. This person could have asked for the day off far in advance. Probably ok to make something up, like a family event, school project, etc...but give t…

I worked as an HR Mgr in Virginia. You can get an ID card from the DMV in a day. If the court paperwork is legit, it won't be a problem. He'll need another document showing proof of residence like a power bill, lease, etc...

Because I actually answered the question instead of referring her to a lawyer or beating him/her down about the sad situation in their office. Most of the other responses seemed to dance around the question and refer to how poorly management had ac…

Ritaanz, so defensive...I wonder why??? I didn't call any names...odd that you attached your own??sadly defensive. I wonder how much time some folks can spend doing their jobs when the evidence of office / computer time is littered all over this s…

AluminumBoy to the rescue. HRHelpMe, don't fret. Sometimes folks get a little worked up 'round these parts. If you've ever dealth with hostile work environment, you'll know that it's very easy to bring one of these claims forward...and it sounds …
-
Here's the ticket. This has to do with hostile work environment. I don't know how substantial the physical abuse was in this instance, which would impact the recourse for the events of that day. But beyond what happened that day, you must determi…
-
An additional note You should do some research on hostile work environment. You guys are at high risk. The language of hostile work environment indicates that if the employer is aware or should have been aware of such an environment, then you are…
-
I agree wholeheartedly. Never impact the victim unless they ask for the change. Plus, if you don't deal with the assaulting supervisor, you are putting yourself at more risk should the employee pursue action. If I'm the lawyer that gets this case…

I think this is a super groovy site. Because of this, I am making a good faith effort to become a more productive and less controversial participant. SteelBoy has been melted down and has undergone a substantial composition change. He has reemer…
