We use OSHALOG and like it, although support has been a challenge at times.

Especially in your area of the country, if you were in the tobacco industry, would your Pres demand that all employees smoke? At a discount? Might do interesting things to your health plan over time. We don't even demand that our employees live i…

Don: I doubt that they'll enjoy their assignment either, but it's not for the reasons you mentioned. As I understand it, they are going to be used not for any of their usual job skills, but, rather as clerks to help Katrina victims fill out the pr…

Sam - The answer to your question is "yes". The paperwork we received states that FEMA will issue us a not-to-exceed purchase order based on the combined total for 8 hours of straight time and 4 hours of overtime per day for 30 days for each of our…

Linda - As you know, the problem is not that WI employers cannot terminate or refuse to hire someone for falsification of their application. The problem is that your friend apparently told the person that she wasn't hiring him because of the convic…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-12-05 AT 02:53PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Excellent advice from Mike. She should have just told him he wasn't being hired due to the lie, but it certainly sounds to me like she still has a darn good defen…

I've probably posted this before, so excuse me if it is repetitious: I had a plant manager fire an employee for basically having a carry-lift catch on fire and burn up. The ee drove the lift (on fire) out of the plant (a sawmill full of dust and d…

Any break in service (not a layoff) is a loss of seniority. My assistant would have 23 years, but left for a year and has only 15 years. I'll admit that I'm rethinking that policy at present. It seems harsh.

Gee, I thought you medical types got all your lunches from drug reps. x}>

I suppose you could, but why would you make the payment in the first place only to attempt to recoup it when the individual returned? And, where's the logic in deducting the difference between military pay and full salary? I'm not understanding so…

In Wisconsin, it would be, unless, as G3 has suggested, the conviction is closely related to the duties of the position. Check your state laws.

I think you're heading in the right direction. Call the lender and ask them how to fill out the form. In a previous life, I was in the process of buying a home, and my employer answered "Unknown" to the question concerning probability of continue…

NO! If the degree is a bona fide requirement for the position, I wouldn't want to employ someone who wasn't smart enough to include it in their first submission.

I am in local government, but in our state, protective service discipline goes to a local Police & Fire Commission, and for that reason seldom gets reported out. I do know that our chief would terminate a police officer for such a violation if …

Unless there's some ERISA provision that I'm not aware of, I don't see why the employer couldn't say that employees can't have duplicate coverage. In my mind, this is one of those 'since there's no mandate to provide the benefit in the first place'…

NaeNae: I agree that if you get something with something else that you purchase for the company it belongs to the company. There were a number of public sector employees in WI who got into deep trouble a number of years ago for accepting pretty ex…

Thanks for the correction. It was a drawing, not a raffle. I had used the terms interchangably.

Thanks to all of you for your input. The item is a piece of survey equipment, won by a registered land surveyor from a vendor that sells - survey equipment. We thought of the purchase at a discount idea, and the thought that he just wouldn't have h…

This is most definitely 'concerted activity' under the NLRA, so in addition to your problem of how to take this to upper management, you should probably get a labor attorney involved. He/she may be able to advise you on both issues.

Take your foot out of your mouth and say firmly to other members of management that you have no right or obligation to attempt to control what I read as social functions only related to the company by the fact that the participants are employees. I…

"Sorry, but..." The essential functions of the job require that they be able to do manual labor. If you create light duty jobs for these individuals, you know what you're setting yourself up for. Unless/until they have a medically certified disab…

Your state building code may have requirements. Ours does.

Hey! I'm not on the DL. I'm right here as active as ever. Oh, never mind.

My knee-jerk reaction was that it was not a good idea at all. Where do you draw the line as far as work vs child care? We do use young volunteers on occasion, though: clean up day in the park or on the riverwalk is one example I can think of. In…

Personal opinion: Not even close to enough information to terminate. Especially under the circumstances where he already has an age complaint against you. Thirty years and now you think about termination based on these incidents? I don't think s…

Well said. Best advice yet!

Absolutely. No Certification, no leave!
