As an HR Manager, you do your best to follow your company’s guidelines when making a hiring decision. Sometimes, though, new information comes to light after an employee has been with the company for a while. What if you suddenly learned that one of your new hires was a registered sex offender? Would you terminate that person based on what you learned? More importantly, could you do so legally?
Read on to learn how one HR Manager handled this challenging situation.
Question
An employee comes to us with an injury that happened outside of work. What are our obligations for holding his job (or not) while he is out? This person has been working with us for less than 3 months. He said he hasn’t sought medical treatment yet. Apparently, he injured his hand when he punched a wall.
In the meantime, his manager is saying he needs to fill the position because now his crew is one down and there needs to be a replacement. So, do we need to hold his job while he is out even though he caused his own injury? And what if there isn’t a position for him when he returns?
