  • I am not sure if I can add anything else to this topic, but I will at least state my opinion. You all have wonderfully stated your sides and to be honest I found that I went from initially one way of thinking to another. And this is why: Being a str…
  • I have not run across an employee who wanted to record a meeting (at least to my knowledge), however, we have had several who wanted a witness in the room with them when being disciplined. We allow them to have a member of middle management with the…
  • Boys..try to control yourselves.../:)

  • Hello SanDee, I have a couple of questions. If it doesn't truly violate any policy, then how is it inappropriate? What I guess I mean to ask is does she have more "curves" which tend to be shown off more in certain shirts or something? Reason I am a…

  • I can see where this may cause scheduling conflicts for employers and how it really doesn't help them, but after you explained what it was and I read some on it, I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing. I mean we are always looking for ways to…
  • Haven't heard much about this..fill us in?
  • Hello Rockie, While I work for a credit union, which means we are open whenever the sun comes up, my mother has worked as a dental assistant for 20+ years and the 4 day work week is a common practice in this field. In some offices, they work 9 hour …
  • Thanks everyone for the advice..there was much wisdom to be heard. I DO have good feelings about this company and they have always treated me well. Unfortunately, I really have no basis for how other women have been treated in this instance, because…
  • Hey Don, just curious..aren't Muslims required to visit Mecca at least once during their lifetime as part of their religion? Would it therefore fall under the guidelines? :0) In answer to the original post, I know of no religions (mainstream ones an…
  • You know Don, I was wondering where in the post it mentioned that the guy didn't want to go to Cleveland for training, but who am I to gainsay my elders? ;;)
  • Good Lord Crout!! 20 bucks won't take you very far for one meal? What are you eating..filet mignons?? ;;) I know down here in good ole Texas, my husband and I can go to Chilis and get a decent meal and spend about 20 bucks for the both of us..
  • I have to agree with Leslie on this one. While I concede that you need to limit the time employees spend on the internet and email, they DO have lives outside of work and I would much rather them shoot out a quick email then gab on the phone for 20 …
  • Our payroll is also handled in about 2 days, but we have electronic time sheets that the employees use when they log into the computer. We use a company called ADP to cut the checks and add up the time, but HR also does this for the calculation of s…
  • Are you sure about that WOCO? I just read that Subway surpassed McDonalds in sales and as having the most branches in the U.S. this past year..just FYI! ;;)
  • You said the employee "logged" on is that correct? Than am I correct to assume that employees need a log in password to access the network? If so then you should be able to at least prove he was on the computer during the 10 hours by his log in pass…
  • I may be feeling this because I am newly pregnant and so we pregnant ladies seem to be a little moody at times, but it seems kinda harsh from what little I have read to penalize someone for a call in violation if they are having to be at home on an …
  • We are pretty generous in our time. We have 12 sick occurrances a year. You can be sick more than one day and if it is related to the same illness, we only count it as one occurrance. However, if you are absent 3 or more days you have to have a doct…
  • HRjen, In response to your second post, I want you to know I don't think anyone meant to offend you, as balloonman stated, there was an assumption based on a lack of information and now that we have the information we can better assist you should yo…
  • Have to concur with my colleagues, if this person did it on their own time, I think you may have a problem. Also, think how this looked to the other employees at your work. Basically they saw a company that will fire you for trying to improve your l…
  • One more thing, management's job descriptions are only all viewed by upper management, our Board of Directors and HR. If another manager wanted to view a fellow manager's jd, they would have to have approval from upper management.
  • We keep job descritions in a protected file that only allows management to view. We don't show them to general employees, except in certain circumstances with management approval.
  • Couple of questions: Why does the staff want to keep this guy around if he is so dangerously violent? Are they afraid of him, or do they think the whole deal is blown out of proportion? Also, was the man waving a knife threatening with it, or since …
  • WOW! So if I miss enough times, I get to get a day off with pay? Where do you work and do you have any openings?!!;;) JJ Seriously though, how many times do you offer this to an empployee? I mean what if they do well for about 6 months and then star…
  • We have an "Employee of the Quarter" four times a year. Toward the end of the quarter HR sends out a reminder to the employees to nominate any employee they feel is deserving of the award. (They fill out a form on our intranet that lists the name an…

  • Where I am working now gives flowers more than any other business I have worked for. It is an unwritten policy, but basically we send them for deaths of immediate family (spouse, child, parent,), hospital stays, and babies. We also send cards for de…
  • Hello and welcome to the forum. In this case, did the employee come to you with the complaints that this other employee was starting rumors? If so, I would say that just like with other types of harrassment, you need to take action, even if the empl…
  • My answer: Since he has all this time to make political speeches, maybe ask his supervisor if he can help you out with some special projects to take up all the free time he appears to have..or at the very least when talking to him, refer to this and…
  • While I agree with some of my colleagues in that this supervisor's humor may be his way of dealing with a tense situation, and that you don't want to blow the whole thing out of porportion, I would feel offended if someone made light of serious matt…
  • What does your attendance policy mandate? Do you have a requirement that requires an employee to contact someone else on the chain if they are unable to attend? In this case, I would not necessarily hold the absence due to sickness against her, espe…
  • Hi Jimlegal, I saw this and was curious..what made you exempt from the qualified employer section of this Act? Thanks!
