    ‘Not acceptable’: Elementary school teacher on leave after holding mock slave auction in class

    actually in my very illustrious HR career, I had to terminate an employee for doing this with workers, but not students.....Don't know why ANYONE would think this was a good idea for ANY reason.

    Should I write up or fire my employee again for harassment?

    "because I want to try to get her fired" you have an ulterior motive.... "I state to the employee that I don't believe her, that this is too much she-said-she-said, and I already wrote her up without getting her side. " You handled this 100% incorrectly "My manager told me not to write her...

    Should I write up or fire my employee again for harassment?

    Have you considered maybe she's just applying what she was told by you and warning others because she got in trouble? You seem to have one answer that you want....and you aren't getting that.....

    Should I write up or fire my employee again for harassment?

    So you went against your DM's advice? Honestly I'm not sure you could do this any worse.

    Should I write up or fire my employee again for harassment?

    I'm just going to say that I don't think you've gone about this in the right way and would definitely speak with your HR department before doing anything further.

    Favoritism- enough to file EEOC?

    I'm not seeing it unless your union is "in on" this favoritism. I think that is pretty much your only recourse and if they are unwilling to do much for you, I'm not seeing any other recourse. Maybe look at transferring back to your old department?

    Illegal interview question(s)?

    One thing a lot don't realize is that the employer most likely can give another reason as to why the other person WAS hired and often it has nothing to do with any protected characteristic, so it is VERY hard for these to survive and have enough evidence unless one can prove a pattern of...

    Death during a 401k rollover distribution

    I would suggest askign this at benefitslink.com on their forum...there are a lot of 401k heavy hitters out there, but I suspect that these are going to have to be deposited as written since the deceased requested this prior to death and they were in transit to those IRAs. But if those IRAs...

    Mississippi ERISA medical claims and Small Claims Court

    But those claims HAVE already been paid through a settlement with someone such as another insurance company..... Why should the injured (you) get the benefit of double payment? Isn't part of the settlement the cost of those medical claims? Not sure how this is "unscrupulous"....the injured...

    Mississippi ERISA medical claims and Small Claims Court

    what was this "injury"? Was it work related or related to some type of accident? Sounds like they think they paid when another insurance should have covered. You might need to explain a little more on exactly what wasn't covered and why. (been in benefits for a long time, but never...

    real estate taxes not paid at closing now I owe a lot morning

    In EVERY closing I've been at as either the seller or buyer (7 of them), I've always been told that the taxes are estimated and one side could possibly owe the other once the final annual bill came at the end of the year that was partially split between the seller and buyer. While generally...

    PTO Cancellation

    Glad it's resolved, but I can tell you that IF you played the "sick" card, that it WOULD be remembered later on promotions, pay increases, next year's approval, etc. evn IF they had to approve it under the law.
