Wasn't their a recent ruling by the labor board that essentially gave the green light to items like girl scout cookies, school fund raisers and similar without putting your union avoidance agenda on the line? This in early 2004, I beleive.

In public and private facilities, I believe the number of handicapped parking places is part of local building codes. Talk to your facilities engineer. These same codes probably require the property owner/leasor to enforce the handicap signage. In …

Zero Tolerance policies usually dictate what the penalty is for crossing the line that has been drawn, such as in most Zero Tolerance Drug/Alcohol Policies. I recommend follow it to the letter regardless of length of service, as you Company's action…

Don D is absolutely correct. Somewhere in your policy should be room for counseling and turning your long term employee around before they reach termination - the supervisors need to be trained on how to rehab these folks, not tolerate them. Also, …

We started a similar process with sales and some executives through Sprint, but each is a separate account. Our charges are similar and it is a positive benefit for authorized personnel. One legal advantage of having them use company phones for bus…

Unfortunately, I have had to engineer nummerous RIF's over the past 25 years. Closely read any policies or memos you have or that have been created over the years that talk about layoff's, terminations etc. If these lay a clear track (or any track) …

The "working lunch", paid of course, sounds like it may the be ticket, but of course will raise of issues. We had/have similar issues with departmental team meetings, but had telesales cover the phones, but you may not have that luxury. As others …

The sharing of non-work related information with a supervisor is something I would not recommend in general, unless your supervisors are trained and professional enough to contain the information and use it to understand an employees change in perfo…

The point about maintaining non-union status could be your company's biggest concern. I had several years in two different OEM automotive suppliers, both UAW. In one vacation was required to be taken during shutdown, and was in the union collective …

We in HR should not get upset with the race card, it is in every hand we are dealt, just like sex, and all those other protected issues. I kind of thought Dasher and CMC both had valid points. And for the comment of "gentle formum participants" I …

Great advice from everyone. Having been raised in Oklahoma and with close relatives whom are Native Americans, face painting has been/is used to communicate to others anything from the equivalent of "My sign is Capricorn" to "You're dead meat!". I…

1. Legal counsel in Kentucky advises as to facility use, go based upon final change of genitals, and breast enlargement/reduction doesn't count. 2. You will have to address the harassment (not sexual per se) with all employees somehow, as new emplo…

After doing a little internet research, and being around long enough to know some history of "marital status" discrimination, the theory was to protect people who were "married" so married people would not be excluded from hiring to reduce benefit c…

Now you want people to bring religious idols along, and holy cows couldn't make it through customs for the cruise. Haven't been drunk since I sent my son to Iraq in February. Bob has four wives, I only on my second (but this time for 20 years) I…

I have been reading your lines for a long time, and reaped loads of good advice, and some ill-informed advice from these comments. My toes are step-proof after 25+ years of packing house unions, autoworkers, teamsters, etc. I rarely respond, but I s…

Oh for goodness, sakes, cry me a river! An employee gets a free trip, the company wants to believe in some level of family values, and every single employee thinks they are getting shortchanged and in your words "pissed off". For a bunch of HR pro…

1. Be sure the information does not get in the hands of management, or even additional HR Staff. Many managers could not handle the information intelligently. 2. As others suggested call your attorney. 3. If it has or becomes public knowledge this w…

In Kentucky, the Concealed Weapons Permits are issued by each individual county sheriff's department. Call them and ask. Unfortunately every state has different regulations. When I travel I have to research each state to see whether or not I have b…

Our company has the monthly President's Forum, and I agree with Don D. on the issue of an HR Dir take the battle of wits (dim or otherwise) to these repeaters who try to break up the company. This same person will attempt, I am sure, to spread the w…

Stating it is the Year of Our Lord etc., states our Gregorian calendar is based on the Year of Christ birth and does not make this a "Christian exclusive club". Personal opinion: Being offended based on good information and understanding is one …

I only pay the lawyers when the new policy is clearly on the fringe of what we should know as HR professionals is correct. With the large volume of excellent research material available, which includes government websites, SHRM and some others, I fe…

Significant atrocities have been committed in the name of religion. Just toured the Cape Cod, Boston and Salem, Mass. area and museums - all of them used religion for personal retribution, land grabs and pure sexual deviation. I will not get into ot…

I agree with he respondents leave it in. I am preparing management training in union avoidance, and have been reviewing the UAW, UFCW, Teamsters and other websites to understand the enemy. (I fought the egg sucking dogs for 15+ years, and am now ha…

Kentucky is like most others, we must prove misconduct. After 20+ years of wins and losses it is a good idean to take witnesses (without these in KY you will lose). To help on the attendance issue, I have been successful in pointing out the eligibil…

Employees covered by FMLA are not to be deprived of any "benefit" they would have if they had been working. If both vacation and sick leave are "earned" based on hours worked, perfect attendance or other performance driven requirement, then they wil…

As most state, stick with your original position. It has worked in several states for companies I have worked for. As for unemployment, KY looks at the circumstances, and in this case I could not imagine a state (except NY or CA) giving UI compensat…
