After becoming a graduate in Human resource class. I need to learn about Kronos/time and scheduling system. Where can I go and learn about this system before the interview.
I was offered a job back in Dec ’08 when I was still in school for a position that is to start in Jul ’09. I received a welcome note from the HR director in Apr ’09 and assumed that everything is set to go. However, I was recently contacted by the 3rd party contractor performing background check for more info/notarized statements etc. I did not lie on my resume nor inflate my qualifications and so I am wondering what could have gone wrong here.
Here is the story. I will try to be as complete as possible but a thousand words goes pretty quickly. About 6 months ago I reported what I perceived to be a problem with my sections’s productivity (or lack thereof) to my supervisor’s boss. That person agreed that productivity was lacking and asked for my opinion to help the situation. I was given significantly more involvement in operations. I then found out that my supervisor’s boss was transferring to accept a huge promotion and the then-VP was likely being forced to resign. Then, my performance review came around. Not surprisingly, my boss gave me a poor review. I contested talking to both my supervisor’s boss that was leaving in a week and the incoming VP. My boss could not adequately defend his position and so my boss was ordered to rewrite my review to mine and the VPs satisfaction. While this was going on, I found out that my wife was pregnant so wanted to discuss benefit election changes with the director of HR. TBC.
if I’ve never called out of work and there has not been any Performance Discussion/Counseling or Written warnings for absenteeism. All other time that I have been out it was approved time. Understanding that I can be written up for the absenteeism at this particular time is because we are going through a huge management change and there is only myself and the Director in HR. The DHR was suppose to hire a temp to assist in projects and changeover and has not. The department is also short another Manager. I am an exemplary employee. At work every single day-)other than approved time off)with a smile and complete assigned projects to the utmost satisfaction with a smile, working 55 hours a week on average. Is it legal for the DHR to terminate my employment and I have a court summons to be at court causing my first unapproved time off?
2 months ago I had an interview with a prominent company in the city I am currently living in. I interviewed with someone in HR who told me that they would find me a position, which would be brand new, and was called in the next week to talk to the manager and general manager of the business unit that they thought I would fit in well with. I had a great interview with them, where they told me that they thought I would be a great fit. Weeks passed and I hadn’t heard anything. Then the HR director called me to say that the gentleman that I had interviewed with left the company, they didn’t forget me, and that they were really interested in me. I have spoken to her 4 more times since then, and she has told me every time that they are very interested (so much they proposed countering any job offers) and had to interview internally before they hired me. The position has been taken off of the website (as of Tues.), and she hasn’t returned my phone call since then.
