I guess I'd be thin skinned if I was working for minimum wage too

actually, hourly employees the CA is handled by hr mgr & stl, exempt employees are hrbp

Ya, these things are very tricky, you have to know what step you are being given, counseling, 1st written, final written, or termination.

unfortunately, this is a chart only HR has access to, so you would have to reach out to them to find out about the chart

ya, 45 minutes is way too long of a break, though of course you want to do a seek to understand to make sure there weren't extenuating circumstances! But 20-25 mins? C'mon, give'em a break, they work for 7$/hr!

Be careful to keep in mind that it isn't based on when the punch correction is submitted, but rather when your supervisor/hr/manager get around to approving the punch correction. If it's not approved before payroll runs, it won't matter when the tm actually submitted it

As mentioned, this can vary based on state requirements, unemployment laws, class (exempt/tl/tm/etc), number of hours and/or days of closure...etc.

Everyone deserves to know what infraction causes which result. This is why people need to unionize and why we need more government regulation on employers. It keeps them from discriminating against one person while someone else can commit the same infraction but not even get a coaching.

No offense, but if you make between 7$ and 19$ an hour, you are NOT being "compensated well"!!! Therefore you WOULD benefit from a union!

If employers are so opposed to Unions that they force their employees to watch anti-union videos and that they threaten to close rather than allow unionization, why don't the poor and middle income employees around the country realize it's an obvious sign to UNIONIZE! They wouldn't be so against...

The shame of it is that all of the rules on whether it's a verbal, written, final, etc are confidential and therefore average employees don't even have access to know what actions can cause termination, or final or written or just a verbal. Employers should HAVE to divulge what causes each of...

I've heard this on here and several other places, but to be clear, it is illegal to fire someone just for trying to organize a union. Another scare tactic to try to prevent people from unionizing.

I'm just glad the freedom of speech is continuing in this new website, though very sad and upset if the original site was ruined due to the Union discussion. It would just prove Unions are VERY helpful to employees, and more people need to join together to form Unions! =)

What I don't get is employers all over the country force their employees to watch anti-union videos, why don't they realize these employers are against unions because it means BETTER pay, BETTER benefits, MORE paid time off, BETTER pensions, BONUSES, you name it, crazy that MILLIONS of Americans...

Wouldn't it be nice if people who make 7$ to 19$/hr would all get wise and organize, S, collective bargain, demand better pay, benefits, treatment, job security, pensions, bonuses, you name it!
