We've done this also. If the ee now has updated and valid information I believe the employer is within the law to simply update the proper forms (I-9 and W-4) with the new info. I remember reading this somewhere on the INS website that I was once…

I agree with the others, most of the time there has to be a qualifying life event change. Do you have an open enrollment time period coming up that allows ee's to modify their coverage at that time without the life changes?
-
The ee might be confused with California's new paid leave law. It was just passed recently, but it doesn't take effect until Jan 2004 and payouts for it won't be until July 2004. Or maybe he's from Europe where paid paternity leave is very common.…

doesn't a word like "personnel" sound more personable than Human Resources? They have the same root word- person.
-
Personnel is so much easier to say and people understood what it meant. I still find myself explaining what HR stands for or what Human Resources is, mainly to people who only knew it as personnel. I was never in personnel during the time of it's us…

Give her a get well card with her pink slip.

And to Don's point, why do these people care what's on this website? It's a website not the wall street journal. And how are they finding the address to his website? Is he posting it in the office..check out [url]www..[/url] That's an easy fix. Are…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-04-03 AT 04:13PM (CST)[/font][p]I'll try to take a minor league swing at this one and wait to see what the others say. What are the essential functions of the job? I don't know if being 80 is that mu…

I think a memo highlighting the portion in your handbook would be appropriate before it gets out of hand. If you can already feel the tension, most likely others in your company can as well. This way it won't seem like you're singling anybody out …

I'm no credit expert by any means but I think the employee needs to notify the creditor in writing and inform them that they are not to be called while at work. They should send it return receipt to the creditor. I think the laws vary by state, bu…

Good point Don (as usual). But couldn't the ee just put down 9 or 10 allowances and have their taxes reduced that way? Sure it's not exempt but it still might work for their "protest" purposes. The perjury thing would still apply, but again isn't …

Don, I am always able to learn something from your experiences that you share with us and this is another example. It seems Will appreciates your knowledge and wisdom as much we do. Thanks, I hope you have a good weekend.

I repectfully disagree Eliant. Yes there were some large portions of jocularity, but I do believe that there were also suggestions (not solutions) to help resolve the problem. This forum is not the end all be all of HR. It offers advice and sugge…

mmmmmmmmmmmmm...stump slung Hog Bowels. please sir, may a have some more?

I got it now. How bout "no more on the walls or else the group has to clean the entire bathroom" ? Something along those lines, right? I think I like it. That would get the group to put a stop to it PDQ.
-
One of my old textbooks had the term "diffusion of responsibiltiy" or "someone else will do it". I think that would be the case here if it was left up to the group dynamic. I'd be surprised to see someone take the initiative to clean something lik…

That's just because James S took up all the puns in post #5. He didn't leave any left for us to use! Read it again, it was a quite an accomplishment.

3 times in 3 months, wow that's pretty good. Don't forget about no laminated cards either. I wanted to ask the question because I've been coming across about 1 fake one a week. And those are the ones that are pretty obvious to me. Thanks for every…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-27-03 AT 03:41PM (CST)[/font][p]Thanks, Gillian and Terry. That's exactly why I posted the question. I know I don't want to pass that line where it can become discrimating, but at the same time if I…

I know in CA that minors can't work over four hour shifts or after 10pm on a school night unless they have a special work experience work permit. If it's not a school night or when school is not in session they can work longer shifts. I'm sure the…

This is the very topic that led me to this forum so many months ago after I did a google search on it. I had an english speaking ee complaining that the tv in the breakroom was being put on Spanish stations too often and felt that it was violating …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-25-03 AT 03:39PM (CST)[/font][p]I had to deal with this same situation last year. This is a little bit different than a falsified application and then terming, if I remember correctly. Since SSA ha…

Did she admit to knowing that cashing the check was wrong? How did she rationalize (or try to) cashing a $14k check? ( A bonus was just an example of a bogus rationalization, as I stated earlier) If she knew it was wrong, get it in writing, the more…
-
We all know that the ee is clearly in the wrong, but I always try to see how things would be played out in court. Do you have any statements or documentation from the ee that they knew it was a mistake? How did she rationalize her cashing the check?…
-
We don't automatically rescind or term based solely on the conviction either, nor could we. It is based on what is stated on the application. If we find they have a conviction that was not stated prior to the background check then we usually proce…
-
We don't do criminal background checks until after the person is hired. The company doesn't want to spend the money until afterwards. So I do terminations after the check comes back all the time. Well, not all the time, but often enough. Usually…

>It does not take showers very often. Ouch! You mean He doesn't? That aside. This topic has been discussed a few times on the forum. I would remommend doing a search for 'body odor' in the search area of the site. Some great suggestion…

I agree with Beagle. The two issues are separate. You acted accordingly in reponse to the claims, the EE returning from vacation is their own responsibility. Had the EE not made a claim there wouldn't be any issue about them not returning from vac…

If it's one thing I've learned doing this job and doing recruiting is to listen to my gut. I wouldn't hire him, especially not for a teller position. What if someone wants to cash a check and doesn't have an id? Oh no big deal, here you go. Banks…
