I believe my wife is trying to remove me from her house. Can the person serving the order come to my place of employment to serve me?
Are they allowed to talk to my boss and co-workers to find out where I might be?
I work in a very secure area so unless you have a badge or are escorted you can't come in. And you have to have a valid reason to be escorted in. Think they'd go through the trouble?
Can a court order be served at the persons place of employment?
They can be served to you anywhere. Do they have a valid reason to be at your work, yes. They are going to serve you. However, it would be up to your employer to allow them in the "secured" area.
If they do not allow them back their, they just may wait until you get off work when you are in the parking lot to serve you!
Reply:I almost hit the point where I would put a pencil in my eye and carve out the part of my brain that cares. Years ago I went through a similar thing.
You are going to be served at some point no matter what. You need to choose if you want to involve your work. You need your job regardless of what happens.
Go home, pack your bags, leave and be done with it with no discussion. Odds are she would never think that you are capable of this. Then you can maybe work it out.
Reply:Are they allowed to? Yes.
Will they? Who knows?
If your wife is trying to remove from the house, then she knows where you live - the process server will probably try there first. You don't say where you live, but in many jurisdictions you can even be legally served by them just mailing it to your known address.

Reply:Yes, they can. That said, any rules of your place of employment would have to be obeyed. Rather than trying to hide, meet it head on. If the home is hers, and there is legal justification for her efforts, your best bet is to comply. It always looks better to the court if you are trying to be a compliant with what they feel is right. Making a fuss over something when you have no legal basis to do so makes you look bad to the court.
Reply:Yes, Is it for a restraining order? Because you said she is trying to remove you from her house. If it is a restraining order the server is normally a cop. And yes they will go thru the trouble to serve you.

What are the possibilities for employment in software development with a certificate in computer science?
I've been interested in computers and computer programming for a long time but my university education is in linguistics. There are lots of certificate programmes that require one year of study at many of the french speaking universities in quebec, canada and i was thinking about enrolling in one. Will the fact that I only have a certificate from a 3 semester course as opposed to a degree in computer science done over 4 years severely limit my possibilities for employment ?
What are the possibilities for employment in software development with a certificate in computer science?
I have known people in this field who don't have the computer science degree but they get paid very well and they are good as well....
If you have enough experience, you could make it to this filed as far as I know to the "Programming" filed just fine...
If you got no experience, try to get a job as entry level and when you show your skills and ability , you will get a better job within a year.
now it's not a very good year for computer field :(
good luck anyway,
Cathy
Reply:They look at other things besides computer training like experience and aptitude for the job. Go for it, there is no harm in trying.
Peace and blessings!

Whole grain pretzels with Poppy Seeds- Will I fail a pre-employment drug screening scheduled in two days?
Yikes. Today I had a small bag of HERR'S Whole Grain Pretzels. One of the ingredients is poppy seeds. In two days I take a pre-employment drug screening test. Will I get a false positive result?
Whole grain pretzels with Poppy Seeds- Will I fail a pre-employment drug screening scheduled in two days?
You should be fine, it takes a LOT of poppy seeds for it to register on one of those tests. I pigged out on lemon poppyseed muffins before I took a test and I passed just fine.
Reply:you must have seen the same episode of Seinfeld that I did, when Elaine did the same thing.
Reply:I believe you have to eat large amounts of poppy seeds in order to fail a drug test.
Reply:If you eat a lot more than likely. If you only ate a small amount it may not be detectable.
Reply:Most likely
Reply:I'm afraid that poppy seeds on a bagel and on or in other foods causing postive result on a drug test isn't a myth... it can happen. I'm assuming you just forgot about your upcoming drug test. Maybe it'll be okay, but be prepared. Usually it won't matter if you explain. Most employers won't take the chance. Good Luck!!!
(A single bagel or a muffin with poppy seeds have been known to call a positive result.)

What is a company's LEGAL obligation when it comes to fulfilling a Verification of Employment from another co?
I work at a company where we are inundated with lengthy, detailed VOEs (verification of employment); we're wondering if we have to legal answer these in full or if we can provide them with a VOE that confirms their prospective employee (our ex-employee) with just a name, ss#, date of employment and ending salary. Is there a good source to find out what my company's legal obligation is to these things?

As others posted you are under no legal obligation to disclose any information not even dates of employment and position held (although I do not recommend you withhold this information.) However, you cannot disclose salary unless this employer has a signed release form from the former employee to obtain this information. In fact, it is good practice to never give any information over the phone unless you are in receipt of one of these forms with the former employee's signature. Yesterday I read of a recent court ruling in the state of California where a former employer offered the slightest of information to what he thought was an actual employer without requesting such a form. Turned out it was a reference checker organization (I believe there name was RSA) and the former employee in turn sued the former employer and won. The ONLY time you are required to offer any additional information regarding a former employee to a prospective employer is IF you have direct knowledge he/she is a danger to himself or others. In the event you are aware this former employee has a violent streak and you fail to advise this new employer of this AND THEN that same employee attacks and injures a co-worker you can and will be held liable and the company can sue you. Another example would be the truck delivery person (case.) On more than one occasion he showed up to work intoxicated; complaints from pedestrians he/she almost ran them over; he/she was in two or more accidents. You in turn fire them with obvious cause. This person applies to another organization for the same position. You need to advise the prospective employer of this danger.

Reply:There is no legal obligation to divulge anything in your company files unless there is a subpeona. When I received those forms, I just gave dates of employment, job title, and verified wages if asked. I actually had a rubber stamp that I used to describe our company policy.
There are exceptions. I worked near Washington DC. I often dealt with investigators who were doing background checks for sensitive government agencies or police officers. These people show up at your office and want to see the HR file. You can tell them no, but they will then show up with the subpoena. I generally gave them the file and stayed with them while they reviewed it so that I could be sure they did not remove anything. They often asked to see the I-9 too if we were still required to have it on file.
I once asked one of them why and the response was: "This person wants to be an FBI Agent. As a citizen, don't you want to know that those protecting you are of the highest caliber?"
Reply:Most companies don't give much more than name and dates of employment...maybe salary.
You can answer or not answer as company policy dictates.
Reply:I work for a very large company. We give verify names, dates of employment, and positions held.
If a person has a history of workplace violence (assault) I believe you are required to inform them of it if asked. I'm fairly certain, but I'll do some fact checking on that one.
ETA: Hmm, after searching, I haven't been able to find any information on a federal or state law that requires one company to give workplace violence history on an employee to the prospective company. There are a number of state laws, however, outlining what the hiring company needs to do to screen canidates for possible violent histories and in regards to reporting workplace violence.
I would think common law would say to answer a question about workplace violence if asked about a former employee. You have the safety and lives of their potential co-workers to think about. That being said, I am not an expert in business law.

How does the fcra effect employment?
How does the fcra effect employment?
I am going to be a preschool teacher, and they had me sign a paper so that the FCRA can check my credit and such?
How does the fcra effect employment?
FCRA is Fair Credit Reporting Act. They're most likely using one of the credit agencies and asking for a PEER (pre-employment evaluation) report.
Employers can pull a credit report on potential hires. It supposedly relates to responsibility, i.e. responsibly handles personal finances = responsible employee. (I'm not convinced, personally). The report an employer gets does NOT include any account numbers nor does it impact your credit score. I've never heard of someone being accepted or denied a job, however, based solely on their PEER report, but I suppose it's possible.

Has anyone ever taken the employment testing for Progressive auto?
Progressive Auto employment testing for claims...has anyone ever taken it? What is it like, is there anything to study for to help out your score?
Has anyone ever taken the employment testing for Progressive auto?
There is nothing you can study. If I remember correctly, some vocabulary and some math. Pretty simple and basic stuff. I do remember that the tests are timed, and more than likely, you will not complete all the questions, no worries. I didn't and still passed the test.
