  • We had an employee sexually harassing a female subordinate with comments like I want to nibble on your ear and then get on WebMD, pull up a picture of male genitalia, call her in, and ask her what she thinks. Oh, BTW - his wife worked there as well…
  • Thank you for the reminder.
  • We randomly test both union and non-union. **==

  • We received a couple of questions on this topic. We provide bus transportation for employees and using them on the bus came up as well as smoking them in buildings. Our stance is to treat them like regular cigarettes. They are to only be smoked o…
  • I agree on the pyramiding interpretation also. Thanks for the language clarification. With nothing specific in place I think Frank's original thoughts on pay were the way to go.
  • No, we would not have given him the entire list. If there is a long laundry list we might say, Your employment is being terminated for instances of insubordinate conducte, inappropriate interaction with customers and peers, and a pattern of unprofe…
  • I have a couple questions that would determine my response. In our PLA we have specified shfits 0700 - 1730. Our overtime for 1.5 time says the first hour worked in excess of the established shift. This would be pre-shift or post shift. Sooo, do…
  • Sharon - Our company is National Security Technologies, LLC. and we are a subcontractor to the Department of Energy. Pam
  • Let me start by saying we have approximately 2500 employees and our average age is around 52. We have a couple ways to engage our workforce. We have casual employees who come in when needed or work a shortened workweek. We also hire retirees as c…
  • Our exempt complete timesheets online. Everyone tracks their time to charge numbers and codes. At the end of the week management goes online and approves the time. It helps to track people as we have 4-10, 5-8, and 9-80 schedules.**==
  • We are a subcontractor to the government and have a tiered paid time off accrual. There is no sick leave. From accredited service date until 5th anniversary of that date 120 hours a year 480 hours max. From 5th anniversary date…
