Workplace Relationships: What Do We Do About a Married Employee Who May Be Romantically Involved with the Cleaning Woman?
June 2008
Many of our employees believe that their married co-worker--I'll call him "Bob"--is having a romantic relationship with a woman who cleans our offices. This woman works for a cleaning company we've hired to come in three times a week. I've received complaints about their public displays of affection (although I'm not sure about the details) and the fact that he takes out the trash for her, which allegedly interferes with his own job. People (particularly Bob's manager) are upset from a moral standpoint, but Bob isn't really breaking any rules, I don't think--he has nothing to do with the cleaning company we hired. What should I do? . . . more

Leave: Can We Change Our Policy to Limit Carryover of Accrued PTO Time?
October 2007
We thought managing PTO was going to be easy, but we've found some problems with carryover of PTO hours. We currently allow unlimited carryover, but that's going to cause some problems down the road (like three-month vacations). So we'd like to limit carryover. Is there a carryover rule? . . . more
