  • My husband's favorite carp recipe: Dig a pit in the sand and fill with hot coals. Place carp between two hickory planks and bind w/ baling wire. Wrap in foil, place on hot coals and bury for three hours. Dig it up, unwrap, throw away the carp an…
  • Joannie, happy to be of help. Wishing you the peace which passes all understanding this holiday season! As to all the Forumites!
  • Well, the first set of jokes that I posted came in an HR solicitation email this morning. (insert angel icon) This one, however, indicates that I have way too much time on my hands. The Top Ten Politically Correct Christmas carols 10. O Holiday…
  • I just read these...and I like the last one. 1) What do you call a person who is afraid of Santa? "Claus" trophobic 2) Why does Santa have 3 gardens? He likes to ho-ho-ho 3) What do you call a group of chess fanatics bragging about their game…
  • Thanks for the posts, NaeNae. It's something to think about....
  • We have a trainer come in every two years to conduct Anti-Harassment training (including sexual, religion, nationality, etc) and Prohibition of Workplace Violence training. New hires take webinars on the topics if they missed the classroom-style t…
  • Welcome to the Forum, debeck! A notary can complete your I-9s, but they are advised against using their notarial seal and told to sign instead as "Authorized Representative". Generally a notary confirms that the person signing matches their pict…
  • Outcome (I always forget to post this part!) Complaint against Manager B as filed by Manager A...unfounded. Complaint against Manager A as filed by employee...founded. After the verdict was returned unfounded, it was decided Manager B could disci…
  • In Nevada, employee medical records can be disposed of six years after receipt or production, except for police or fire. However, it's 30 years if the employee has hazardous exposures ( toxins, bloodborne pathogens, dust, mold, asbestos, etc.)
  • Do you have written job descriptions? You could require a "Fitness for Duty" based on his job description.
  • We are public sector, and our Drug & Alcohol-Free Workplace policy states, in part: It is the employee's responsibility and obligation to determine, by consulting a physician if necessary, whether or not a legal drug s/he is taking may or will …
  • Our Payroll Dept confirmed that upon separation from employment, we absorb the loss if the employee used more than what they paid thru payroll deduction. I also learned that our budget had a shortfall in that line item because the payout was much…
  • That's interesting. I'll pass that article on to our payroll dept and see if they have any input. You've got me curious now! Why would an employer take that risk?
  • Re: FSA and Severance Agreements Reply If I spend 100% of my pre-funded healthcare FSA on day #1 of the period, and get terminated on day #2, the employer incurs the loss of the pre-funding and cannot claim it against me, correct? Correct. I am …
  • No Whistleblowers, per se, but we do have policies prohibiting retaliation (below). 2.5. Prohibition Against Retaliation (Revised 4/07) Retaliation is adverse treatment which occurs because of opposition to unlawful workplace harassment. The empl…
  • Yes, I'm sure that when Manager A learned someone had filed against him, it planted a seed. And as soon as something didn't go his way, it became the opportunity to wag the dog. So after discipline is determined in a case, how far do you go in tel…
  • Thanks, Coffee. That sounds like the best approach. The reason City Counsel is handling both disciplinary actions is because of the appearance of retaliation if Manager B disciplined A, since A has a formal complaint against B in an unrelated …
  • I agree with ACU Frank!
  • Agreed! I miss it too!
  • Nice! A former employer of mine had bi-weekly pizza parties or barbecues and our summer "picnic" was a rafting trip down the Truckee River.
  • We reimburse 100% for an "A", 85% for a "B" or 70% for a "C" on approved course.
  • Congratulations!! Sounds like a win to me.
  • HR Hat: Where do you work? Are you hiring? =D>
  • A couple of things I like a lot is our Ceridian flex spending for medical expenses and Purchasing Power, which allows you to buy electronics, appliances or exercise equipment through payroll deduction.
  • I work for a small municipality. We're unincorporated, so County provides sheriff, but we have a few ees that take home vehicles...fire chief, town manager, etc. Because it's so few, the added expense is minimal. Our policy states that town-owned…
  • Wish I could debate that Frank, but.... Anyway, I appreciate everyone's responses.
  • Good luck! The individual in question has to produce a regular report for the Board's bi-wkly meeting. He just wants to be able to bypass the boss because a lot of his ideas are turned down as not being financially feasible.
  • Thanks to both of you! Good answer! Good answer! (Family Feud)...this plays off of another post in another section...oh, never mind.
  • Below is a portion of our drug/alcohol policy, contained within our personnel policies. Hope this helps. It is the employee’s responsibility and obligation to determine, by consulting a physician if necessary, whether or not a legal drug s/he is t…
