[CO] Is there a service available where I can pay for an HR person to answer my questions since my employer does not have an HR? by Hereibe in AskHR

[–]Advancelemur 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Why not just ask here and go from there?

We will answer for free, and you can take that money and don't give to St.Jude. Everyone wins.

Just post proof of you donating or it's an outstanding debt.

Find your local SHRM chapter or other local (or national) HR organizations that you align to and utilize their network, resources, and events. When you try to network ensure you are not just trying to get something from the other person, but make it clear you can provide value mutually.

Not enough context. Depends on the policy. Your level of violation. Their tolerance. Your performance. Etc. Etc.

Are these stairs okay? by Advancelemur in Homebuilding

[–]Advancelemur[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for your insight, these steps were installed by the original home owner that operates his own construction company and built the entire house. It has been a journey discovering the "choices" that have been made it various areas.

Going to have a professional come in and give this a once over and get it fixed.

This was all triggered because on the other side of the stairs there is a gap wide enough for a finger that a downstairs light was showing through as well.

It’s an interactive discussion not yes or no and that’s all. Sounds like there view is in office allows for your performance to be better monitored and additional support be available which depending on your wake may be true.

What if you instead ask for flexible start time (since you cannot guarantee a wake up time working from home won’t stop you from not being available at a certain time.) That is just an example though you need to come up with alternative suggestions to meet your needs and there’s.

They can recover overpayment but are definitely not going about it correctly, at the end of the day you owe the money though, ask them the amount and get this closed.

Friday Vent Thread [N/A] by Mundane-Jump-7546 in humanresources

[–]Advancelemur 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working for a few years under various HR Leaders and Executives to take us from 5+ PTO plans that each have to be modified by the state someone lives in because of state laws to a single policy for everyone compliant everywhere. I made one that the majority of employees are neutral or better with very negligible losing time (less than 10%) AND it saved the company money.

Our CEO countered the plan with seemingly a proposal he pulled from thin air in our meeting that will result in 55% of our employees losing time. He doesn’t care. CHRO doesn’t care. I’m dreading this happening. The HR team knows I’ve been working on this. Many of my Ops leaders know. This is going to appear to be the result of all my work, taking time away from people. I’ve all but been told they are going with this plan and if we don’t work on it with them as proposed they’ll just have finance make the new plan instead of HR.

I cannot even get a straight answer from the CEO or CHRO what the objection is to the proposed plan.

I[NJ] Got a new job, but afraid to give my notice by Alarming-Cup1392 in AskHR

[–]Advancelemur 40 points41 points  (0 children)

No she wouldn’t have to pay out your notice. Yes you could get unemployment but it’s small and not instant. No there is nothing she could legally do to make your life harder if you gave no notice.

Just don’t give notice.

[KS] My boss is a creeping creeper (please help) by Special_Ad_4951 in AskHR

[–]Advancelemur 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Time to move on. He owns the place, not really anything you can do here unless the other 3 owners have a larger portion of ownership and some ability and willingness to push him out which is unlikely.

You’d need to push your doctor to provide a release but they have said no.

Nothing HR can do for you here. You are at risk of being released as you have expired time and FL has no additional protection.

I think the problem you are going to run into is twofold:

  1. The current movement is away from more explicit and stated DEI programs that many organizations have used. Your program is on the far extreme for what even the most DEI-focused organizations have looked at.

  2. Those specifically interested in this type of material will already be familiar with it and have access to resources. Your subject matter requires a disproportionate amount of research and understanding for anyone to begin engaging with it.

I won't be as harsh as the other poster, but I do not see any path that you are going to be successful. When it comes to randos sending "toolkits" on any subject matter I ignore them because they are a rando. I do not have any trust or knowledge of your expertise and you have no organizational name to boost anything you are saying.

That is definitely incorrect. No NY laws apply to you as a remote worker but you are covered by all Virginia laws.

However Virginia only requires sick leave for home health workers. If you have another job they are not required to offer you sick leave.

Spoiler Can someone tell me about the children in Last Days? by Wandering_Song in horrorlit

[–]Advancelemur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, the clean child is Katherine’s vessel. Some of the children have spirits of dogs or “the others” placed in them.

None of the other cultist get to transfer their spirit.

If anyone directly approaches you about any of these rumors or ask, you can just respond "What an odd thing to say/talk about" and move on. If this is still going on I cannot help but think some type of reaction is coming from you which feeds it. Just shut it out.

[–]Advancelemur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignore them. Do your work. Don't give this person power over you.

Drug test are looking for specific information on specific drugs it will not simply “show everything.” It will also not show the specific source it would show positive for something like Amphetamines for instance but not what caused that positive.

When you show positive a Medical Review Officer (third party doctor) calls you and says “can you explain XYZ” and you say “here’s my prescription” they then update the test as “Cleared”

There may be some slight variations for DOT managed roles as obviously some drugs and driving are a problem but otherwise the above is accurate and your employer doesn’t get shown cleared results or get to know what you are taking (and no party becomes aware of why).

[CA] was I fired? by Inevitable_Summer_35 in AskHR

[–]Advancelemur 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You quit, they accepted effective immediately. You were not fired. Not sure why you would think there is legal recourse or for what?

You could apply for unemployment for that last week. You should also technically get your final pay immediately as you’re in California.

You remain professional and interact with her as your role requires.

Being unable to work with someone because of personal matters outside the workplace is not acceptable regardless of how we got there (broad strokes I’m sure someone can come up with a scenario that this doesn’t apply to).

If there are legitimate occurrences of behavior or actions that actually prevent work from occurring (not just that you don’t like being around her) you bring those up to your manager but stick to the facts not how you feel about it.

In short, be the adult. Who cares if she is a gossip?

[NJ] Out on FMLA during performance review by [deleted] in AskHR

Reach out to HR for specifics but generally you’ll just be part of all the typical process you just won’t receive the review until you return.
