It may be expensive, but have you thought about doing a fingerprint check? I have no idea what the protocol for this would be or how cumbersome it would be. If you've analyzed the syringes and they contain illegal substances, perhaps your local po…

I have a terrible confession to make regarding AEDs. We are also a basic manufacturing facility with a largely uneducated workforce. Last year we were researching the possibility of getting an AED at ~$1500 when a company in our industrial park …

Just for the record: I had never heard of My Space until I saw Paul's 1/14/06 post. Paul must have been on to something appropriate for the Forum since on the 1/17/06 nightly news, two stations (ABC & NBC) carried stories about how My Space wa…

RE: AnaFL. I agree with Larry C. Ana made no mention of a religious event. An employee appreciation event is about as secular as it gets. It doesn't matter if the event is in the summer or winter or whenever. The employee's work station tha…

Plus they >are working hard and making contributions (for >the most part) like everyone else. You answered your own question when you said they do the same work as everyone else. You want to keep their morale, work ethic, & safety awar…

Kathy C: Excellent website. Thanks.

Vending machines in a break room. It's hard to imagine a job setting where it takes 20 minutes to get to the front lobby, but the employees don't have access to good quality vending machines and or don't have access to a refridgerator and microwa…

What if this employee stopped by work each day on the way to or from jury duty and worked perhaps an hour or so, would the company still be required to pay their exempt salary?
-
My thought, exactly. I don't believe you can force an employee to take a vacation day or PTO day just because no work is available, i.e., a layoff situation. This is my gut feeling. Does anyone have a legal solution to this issue?

The June 2005 issue of Ga Employment Law has a good summary on pg 3. You can get the entire bill by going to legis.state.ga.us/legis/2005_06 and search for SB90 (Senate Bill 90). I believe the distance is 25 ft not 50 ft and the 18 year old exempt…

Just a thought. By e-mailing his ex-coworkers and especially by sending a letter to his supervisor's wife (i.e., outside any possible work environment scenario), I believe this guy has legally crossed the line and is now guilty of "stalking" which …

Build a simple structure/gazebo outside your facility so that employees that use tobacco products can do so while enjoying the great outdoors and, more importantly, not harming their co-workers. In the past few years we went from smoking & tob…

Rockie: Good post. I've always wondered what other companies do. For deaths and critical (subjective) medical problems we give a $25-50 fruit basket or flowers (potted if possible). We limit it to truly immediate family only (parents, children…

Don Excellent question. This actually came up during the election and she laughingly commented that she could be referred as an African-American? Shades of Clinton. It appeared to be a choreographed question. Teresa Heinz Kerry - laughing????

It really doesn't matter what the rest of us think. If you want or need the info, ask the individual. Just a thought: how would you classify Tiger Woods without asking him; Afro, Caucasian, Oriental, Native American? He's made it clear he doesn…

Ethel: I've summarized two H1-Bs that we've recently completed so you get a feel for what a reasonable cost is. The costs I list below are for everything: legal fees, transcripts, advertisements, etc. We used a lawyer in each case. We've done tw…

Excellent point in regards to putting pressure on those that you supervise or have authority over. Next to stopping union organizing activity, this is probably the most important reason to have a non-solicitation policy.

I have in my hand a copy of an exerpt from the California Employment Law Letter which was distribute by HRhero.com on 3/8/2002. I used it to form our company's "no-solicitation" policy. The article states that the NLRB, through it's Gen Counsel Ar…

Does your reference to 7 minutes have any legal implication? Is there any rule that says how early an employee can clock in before his/her shift starts? We have many employees that are dropped off 30-40 minutes before their shift. Can they clock-…

Linda: I would guess that over 90% of us share your frustrations. When things get really bad in my office, I think back to last year. One of our employees came into my office and thanked me for saving his life. At his annual physical he had been…

We switched to Principal several years ago and are very pleased with their services. They're very proactive and have great customer service and client representative departments that always respond immediately to any questions we might have.

You can put the truck driver in any job you so desire and continue to pay him his CDL pay if that's what your company wants to do. However, if he's worth a second chance or the benefit of a doubt, most of us would assign him to a job where he can't…

Re: Pay while reassigned to a non-driving, lower paying position. This is the driver's problem. Pay him at the going rate for the work being performed, i.e., clerk, admin, filing, yard work, etc. He should be happy to be drawing any amount of pa…

Aspen: Two thoughts. 1. A previous responder mentioned that if the nonunion employee is not paid, that employee may decide that a union is the right way to go. I agree. But I also think paying nonunion employees the same benefits that the u…

AJ Thanks for your input. The scenario actually involves a couple at a local company (not mine). Their HR Director (a friend) asked me for my advice. The HR Director is obviously not a "Forumite". In addition to giving him my opinion on the sce…
