It >would be pretty chinchy to try and get out of >paying the employee. Sally Pettegrew "Chinchy" is one of the nicer words I would use to describe the employee's supervisor.... Thank you for your response!

Okay--so I have an employee who is not required to attend a monthly business group meeting but her supervisor agrees to let her attend because in the long run it will benefit the department, and she goes straight from her home to the meeting (does n…

Our form does denote what constitutes a 5 in any area. And I'm not saying no one would ever get a 5 in any area. What I am saying is that I would question an evaluation that gives an employee a 5 in every category. All of us have areas of strengt…

We no longer distribute such a list to all staff. I have a comprehensive list, as does our Executive Director. Our employees have been told that it is expected they will provide their immediate supervisor with a home or cell phone number for emerg…

Actually, the best way to state it is their positions are being eliminated due to budget constraints. At some point down the road we would hope to be able to once again include those positions in our budget, but I don't see that happening for about…

We are also a not-for-profit and a number of years ago our auditors recommended that any mail that potentially has a check in it be opened by the receptionist and the check logged in. In a review of our policies & procedures last fall our new D…

Would you mind faxing it to me as well? 904-354-9238. Thanks!

It also makes me >want to go out and buy a ticket! >xclap Contributions to not-for-profits are always welcome too! Of course our hope is to get you hooked on the performances so you continue to buy tickets AND begin to make contribution…

I work for a symphony orchestra and even our "part-time" (per service) musicians are paid for a scheduled rehearsal. Like our fulltime musicians, they are expected to come to the first rehearsal fully prepared--having looked at the music and rehear…

>Just what is she expecting from this employee besides a report, ESP? The employee may not be able to get away with this but I've been known from time to time to inform someone that I flunked mind reading in college. That usually gets the…

Our grant writer reports to the Development Director. The funding raised from grants is part of our Annual Fund campaign goal. The grant proposals are written for local and state funding, corporate sponsorships, and foundation funding--all of whic…

Maybe my organization is more liberal or flexible because we are an arts organization but here's what I see as I look around. The box office that most of our customers see is fairly neat but the employees have some pictures and posters of guest art…

Don D-- Congratulations and hurry back to us! I too have learned so much from you. I appreciate your insights and your sense of humor.

I agree with Don. It should not have to be a higher up. Anyone offended by the comments can and should use his or her best "Miss Manners" response--a cold stare followed by asking why on earth he would make such an insensitive remark. And of cour…

I post the job internally when I place the ad in the newspaper. When a current employee expresses interest in the open position that information remains between the employee and me until we mutually agree that his/her supervisor should know. I don…

Don, I wouldn't dream of trying to give you history lesson. Especially after reading some of your recent ones. I have a BA in history and an MA in costume design with a lot of costume history as part of that, but I am no match for you! Especially…

Back to Paige's question, though. As a woman, I think I understand what she is getting at. It boils down to equal pay for equal work, and how best to communicate that. Fortunately for me, the one time I needed to communicate that to my supervisor,…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-19-03 AT 11:23AM (CST)[/font][p]Yes, we do have a policy about calling in when an employee is going to be absent. I realize these were extenuating circumstances. But I also realize many people today…

We've gone through this several times over the past 20 years that I've been with the non-profit where I work. Each time we have "gone it alone." (We've used a recruiter for the executive director position and had mixed results with that.) When we…

We've done this over the past couple of years. The child must be at least 10 years old. We're an arts organization and always looking for volunteers to help with mailings, filing, etc. If our orchestra has a rehearsal that day the student is perm…

A friend of mine gave me this piece of advice for dealing with my children--and I try to keep it in mind for dealing with my "children" at work--Be fair, be firm, and be consistent. Two quotes from my father that I keep in mind-- "The sun will not s…

FYI-- I just today found this additional information about Ramadan, which would relate to why the employee would request time off. Part of the observance is that it is common for Muslims to go to the mosque to spend several hours praying and studyi…

A number of years ago we had an employee who observed Ramadan--I don't remember him needing any time off, unless it was to leave a little early on ocassion during the month Ramadan is observed. He was an exempt employee so the early departure did n…

We pay the rate allowed by the IRS--currently 36.5 cents per mile.

I've put together information for our staff using some of the suggestions in the above mentioned article about how to cope with the emotions of the anniversary [talk about it if comfortable, write in a journal if not; be cautious about watching too …

We had a similar situation a couple of years ago. The other employees in that department were also relieved when we talked with them about the situation--it was a busy time of year so they could easily say "sorry, too busy to talk right now." The …

If there's a law firm that you have dealt with on employment law issues you could check with them. Our attorney handled the training for us. She did one session for managers and a separate one for the rest of the staff. Because she handles sexual…
