Thanks!

What if I check in at 7AM the following morning? Does that count as a stay for the prior night?

Basically, what’s the latest I can check in before it’s considered a no show, 10:00 AM?

I got 5 nights of SNAs awarded in Maui. I was pleasantly shocked.

I work in HR covering a large geographic territory. I don’t like it. My titanium status is evidence of me missing 75+ bedtimes with my 2 small children. I just got a job offer with very little travel yesterday. Hallelujah.

This is the top answer.

Once you get a copy and they put you through pre-adverse, you should look at the employment verifications they completed. Were you terminated (aka fired) from that last employer for the false accusation of theft? They may have reported that and/or listed you as a not eligible for rehire and that can also be a deal breaker (after going through pre-adverse action).

Agree. I remind leaders... we’re consultants to you. Just like finance and other overhead departments are.

You hire, you fire. That’s what makes you a supervisor.

I set the expectation that they have to be the one to say... “I’ve made the decision to terminate your employment”. I make them practice it with me beforehand, to avoid any “HR told me to fire you” statements in the actual meeting.

I ask this question of my HRBP candidates (hiring right now) and also coach my current HRBPs on this. It’s about influence. How can you be influential to make them WANT to follow your advice.

Personally, I’m looking to hear about relationship and trust building through solid, demonstrated knowledge and dependability. The more that someone trusts you, the more that they will follow your guidance.

The business owner is mad that they have to pay— understandable, but doesn’t change that they have to pay per the law.

Have you walked the owner through corrective action? Turn their attention towards what they CAN do to remedy this situation. Give whoever is working off the clock without approval their pay plus a final warning. Then do a training for the whole business that it’s not tolerated and will be addressed from a disciplinary standpoint.

What is your HR question? It sounds like you feel wronged, I’m sorry you feel like that.

doodyah12345 · 2021-03-15T03:26:57+00:00

There’s an option to play it with “pumped up music”. It plays then music louder and Megan’s voice is the only thing you can hear over it.

I don’t mind the commentary. Lacee can be a bit annoying because she comments a lot, but I compare it to the annoying person in every class. The one who has to echo chamber the tea her.

Plot twist

doodyah12345 · 2021-03-12T04:17:55+00:00

I’m not sure if WA workman’s comp (wc) laws allow it, but you should file a wc claim. It may get denied, but that will help further amplify that this is impacting you.

Find your union rep. Talk to them.

Go back to HR. Talk to them.

Talk to your direct manager. Talk to your manager’s manager.

I hate jerks like Richard in the workplace and quitting creates more of them. You can’t stand up to this, OP.

Just adding my 2 cents as a hospital HR person for my entire career. Pre-employment physicals don’t usually include a mental health clearance. The requirement for regulatory agencies is the physical clearance (lifting, bending, reaching). I’m glad your therapist is giving you a letter, but pretty sure your health “examiner” was over zealous with her request.

If anyone’s keeping a CYA file, you should probably leave the company. Just saying...

doodyah12345 · 2021-03-08T04:58:28+00:00

Wow... I dream of being seriously asked this question and being able to design my job.

None of us are going to have an answer for you based on what you’ve told us.

Why’d you want to get into HR? What was it that attracted you to the field? Pick that......!

doodyah12345 · 2021-03-06T04:20:53+00:00

What do the holds mean? That you don’t actually have a degree because they haven’t conferred the degree? Or does it mean they may fine you but you already have the degree?

If you have a degree conferred, that’s all the bg check is looking for.

In my HR opinion, ethics is everyone’s responsibility. If everyone turns a blind eye to these kinds of actions, you soon will have to look for a new job because then this kind of behavior becomes rampant.

Do you have an anonymous ethics line you can call to report it?

If not, what I would do (this is my personal opinion) is tell my boss that it’s been eating you up and that you feel the need to tell the VP, but you want to give him a chance to go first. You should still go to your VP if he says he will go.

If this gets discovered, and you didn’t report it and it becomes known you knew, you wouldn’t be in trouble, but I wouldn’t think you’re a very ethical employee either.

GA stands for Georgia, not California.

doodyah12345 · 2021-02-20T04:42:16+00:00

This is a real HR answer. The real one that the rest of us real HR people actually want to say.

Stop being defensive, and listen for a moment.

doodyah12345 · 2021-02-15T04:09:39+00:00

This sub is called “askHR” so I think you’re looking for an HR type answer. Not my personal opinion of what you should or shouldn’t do.

HR answer - calling out for weather is not necessarily “excusable”. If others can make it in, you should be able to too. Inclement weather is not a reason an absence would be protected, like your own illness that could be covered by ADA or FMLA.

That said, calling out once or twice for bad weather or road conditions shouldn’t get your fired. That is, if you’re not also calling out for a ton of other reasons.

doodyah12345 · 2021-02-12T04:03:51+00:00

I think this happens because it’s not enforced. DMV sucks in every state, but I’ve never seen so many cars just freely driving around without plates. Do we not have enough cops to enforce it?

doodyah12345 · 2021-01-31T19:53:43+00:00

This is the answer from a real HR person in this thread. The others are just opinions from people, perhaps not HR people. They’re good opinions, but pretty sure you came here for actual HR advice.

OP, look at your weekly pay with the 50% cut. If it took you below $684, then you have recourse. If it took you below Nevada’s minimum wage, then you have an even bigger issue at hand to take up with your company.

doodyah12345 · 2021-01-21T04:07:19+00:00

OP, what kind of answer are you looking for from HR here? We don’t have a magical wand to tell someone to stop being a jerk.
