  • Do you know how the DOL defines "complications"? or where I can get more information on this. This ee has just missed another day and a half for this. Can I at least move her to another position where I have more back up in the case of absence…

  • Thanks for the info. I believe I also have done this before, I just couldn't remember all the details. thanks. -t
  • Wow, this question has really stirred up a mess. Talking about employee mindset, there are about 80 employees that I deal with, 99 % are women that work beside each other every day. We are a small company and can only pay a little above minimum wa…
  • I do allow employees to view their files, and they are perfectly aware of what is in there. Nothing goes in the file that they don't know about. I just don't give them a copy. -t
  • Good reply, but we do go over every item with the employee before it goes in their personnel file. We also offer mentoring and re-training programs if the disciplinary action is a result of not understanding or making too many errors. I had an e…
  • Yes, we do have a policy on those things. However, we do no drug/alcohol testing as of now. I am researching that as we speak. Thanks. -t
  • Thanks for the response. As of today we no longer have any positions available in other areas of the company. We will do a job reduction on said employees position. Hopefully, all will end well. -t
  • Wow, I didn't realize how difficult this could be. Currently, her position is cancelling members from our mail service. The positions that are available are filing in our mail room, an entry level position. However, if we transfer her to filing a…
  • Thanks for your replies. I looked at it today and it doesn't seem to be too alarming. She says she is taking antibiotics. Thanks. -t

  • I understood your reply to "do nothing" did not literally mean "do nothing". I have let her know not to walk to her car alone and if in fact he shows up here, I will be on the phone with the local police. Thanks everyone for your posts. -t

  • This is the response I was hoping for. We do have a policy about visitors in the building, but if everyone knows that he is a boyfriend of an employee, then they're more likely to let him in. I did tell the ee to request an escort if she needs one…

  • Thanks for your replies. Unfortunately, I feel any policy we try to come up with is not going to help the "stellar" performers but actually help more of the "slackers". I have changed my attendance policies time and time again to try to accomodate…
  • Thanks for your quick responses. -T
    in Situation NOW Comment by T February 2005
  • I'm so glad most you agree with me. Now, if I can convince my CEO of that. Thanks. -T
  • There's nothing in her file. As far as I know she has been doing all of her job as required.
  • Thanks everyone for all the replies. I sure do love this forum. -T
    in what to do?? Comment by T December 2004
  • The ee that left told another ee who told the supervisor. At that point we did an investigation where no one heard or seen anything. Just a bunch of he said she saids. Thanks. -t

  • Well of course I did it backwards. It seems like when I met with the attorney she would have asked if I had insurance??? Maybe not? However, I do have my insurance company involved now. Thanks for the quick responses. -T
  • Thank y'all for the information. I get a "ton" of those things too, but this one looked a little different. I guess "same ole song, just a new look". Thanks again. -t
  • I favor the "hit the road" solution. But thanks everyone for the input. -T
  • Where do I dig deeper at? I feel she will try to "sugar coat" it if I ask her. I know the charge was fraud, and she said something about being the driver of the vehicle and the one getting "pinned" for the crime because she was the owner and dri…
  • Thanks for your reply. The mail she would be dealing with is United States Postal Service mail. We are a mail forwarding service. Her prior job was in another town. We get members mail and we file it in files. The mail may include reordered c…
  • My trainer does not need access to salary info, but her "best bud", the office manager, does. I believe office manager lets trainer know then the trainer (gossip queen) lets the world know????? Thanks. -T
  • The complainers and the negative influence person are all caucasion. Our written policy states: verbal, 1st written, 2nd written, termination. However, we have the clause that we can skip any step in our progressive discipline policy and go straig…
  • You are exactly right. Then they want to complain that we treat them like children. Come on people, act like adults and you will be treated like adults. And yes, I did tell the ee to let the other 2 know that she doesn't appreciate them discussi…
  • That's what I thought. Thank you for the reply. -T
  • Yes, she is very aware that her employment will be terminated. Thanks for your input. -T
    in Re-hires Comment by T March 2004
  • Do you have a copy of the application that you use? Does it have a place for SS# and does it have the disclaimer authorizing you to do the background check? I believe George Washington used the apps I am currently using, so they're just a bit outd…
  • Thanks for the reply. I went immediately and changed my posting application to include other criteria along with testing in consideration of being selected. -T
  • One more question. The ee brought in a return to work slip for Wednesday, Jan. 14, however it is for light duty and it also states that she can not wear a safety belt because it is in the area as the infection. Now, our policy for working in her d…
