This is the situation: An hourly employee has been having transportation problems. The manager has been bringing her to work and taking her home. The manager is not always on time, nor leaves on schedule (because of the responsibilities). It's making another employee feel uncomfortable and believes there's favortism going on. Just because the employee comes and goes with the manager is ok not to be in compliance with the company's policy of puntuality. Which means this employee is having a lot of overtime. Has anybody been in this situation?

Here's my 2 cents:

1. Have the manager sign a document stating that he/she understands that he/she is personally liable should anything happen to the employee (injury from traffic accident etc.).

2. Hold the manager accountable for exessive OT in that dept.

3. Require the manager to enforce the companies punctuality policies uniformly throughout the dept.

The employee has an obligation to work the required schedule. If the manager choses to provide transportation for the employee, he/she should be required to make sure the employee is following company policy. If my wife was driving me to work and getting me there late, I would have to find a different method of transportation in order to protect my job.

the manager I'm refering to is the HR Director. How about that?!

How Do We Keep Our Best During Upheaval?

Things are getting scary for us. We recently had to downsize, and since then have lost some of our best people to other jobs. Aside from boosting their pay (which isn't feasible now), what practical steps can we take to keep them from quitting on us?
