  • We've also been struggling with this issue and we were concerned for several reasons. The first, the employee might come back and state they had been "working" and try to get overtime and second, the professionalism aspect. What we decided was that…
  • Nat, Please send me a copy of your policy as well . . . Thank you [email]sonata6@comcast.net[/email]
  • We do our COBRA in-house, but then that is part of what we do as a company. In fact, that is one of the areas I handled before moving to HR, so I have a pretty good understanding of COBRA. Even with that though, there are some tricky issues that…
  • How do you handle the employees who have 20 (or less) then want more time?
  • Employees are allowed to carry over unused PTO (a total of 35 hours), but not sick time. If an employee goes on STD (we administer in house), then all PTO and Sick time is used before going on STD. However, because PTO and Sick have not been consis…
  • Her manager and I have already addressed the issue of her comments with her and have advised her that we will continue to monitor her. I have it on record (doctors notes) of the medication she is taking and why and keeping that in her medical file.…
  • Thank you so much for your information. I'll check out all the websites and avenues mentioned. By the way, anyone have experience with Affleck?
  • Are any of your offices having any type of observance? Such as 5 minutes of silence or . . .
  • Since joining this forum, instead of "second guessing" myself, I've been able to read and assess, so I agree, this formum is great. And I appreciate the compliment!
  • I attended the meeting (and stayed in the background). The meeting went very well and the manager and employees were on their best behavior. The manager had an agenda and followed it (something we've been working on), there were comments and sugge…
  • AJ the only reason I thought I would approach her at all is because the issue with the lunch was primarily between her and I and only indirectly involved her manager. I did approach her on the tone and content of her e-mails and she brushed me of…
  • After reviewing the responses I've received and thinking about it over the weekend, I determined to: 1) attend the meeting on Wednesday and observe and take notes 2) meet with the manager afterwards and help him finish up on the job descriptions for…
  • Don, Thank you for the suggestion . . . I will mention to the manager that I would like to attend and "observe". I've already done some "auditing" of the customer service calls and made some suggestions for improvement to the manager. We will let…
  • I agree there are issues with the manager, but the attitudes (both manager and employees) were already in place before I got the job . . . I've suggested numerous options including some outside seminars for manager and employees (and yes, these emp…
  • Gillian, From what I can see, the behavior of the manager AND the employees has been bad. I used to work for this manager and he was nothing but kind to me. On the other hand, I've seen him be rude to others . . . and can't decide if it's just "g…
  • Wish I could be credited with the "brilliant strategy", but can't take credit for it since I hadn't looked at it that way. Most managers and employees here work very well together, but right now, this particular manager and his employees are on shor…
  • Thank you for your comments regarding the employee activities. I've drafted a policy and given it to the Pres & CEO of the company for review. I feel the company goes out of their way to provide for the employees, but you know, people will cont…
  • We do have an annual Crab Feed held in July and a Holiday Party that is paid for by the company. We also have a monthly activity that I plan which are either "potluck" events and/or company paid luncheons with activities. For example, we just had a…
