Interviews When you arrive for your interview, an HR representative will greet you, discuss your application, explain the schedule for your visit, and answer any questions. Different departments have different practices, but you can expect to have two to four individual meetings with department representatives. You will have the chance to share your detailed qualifications and learn more about Boardman Management Group and our work.

However, the ruling in this case and others like it prove that employers can, in fact, be bound by articles written in an employee handbook when disciplining or discharging an employee. An abysmally written handbook can greatly jeopardize an employer’s right to terminate at will. Trends show that courts are increasingly acknowledging enforceable promises in the past employment practices of firms, in employer handbooks and in oral commitments. In addition to including an at-will disclaimer in employee handbooks, employers should also require employees to sign an acknowledgment confirming that they understand and agree to employment-at-will and that at-will employment can at any time be modified by a written agreement. Personnel manuals should explicitly state that the employer reserves the right to terminate employment at will. All written policies should also be free of any language that could be considered as a guarantee of job security. To be sure that these common pitfalls are avoided employers must retain the service of a labor attorney to draft and air-tight employee manual and acknowledgment
In 1980, a precedent was set in a Michigan court case involving a man named Charles Toussaint who was suing his employer, BlueCross Blue Shield, for wrongful termination based on the guidelines set in the employee manual (Alfred and Bertsche 33). The manual stated that employees would only be terminated for just cause, and the court decided that Blue Cross had violated the agreements in the employee manual (34). The court also ruled that even with Blue Cross’s efforts to provide a document that “issued non-binding guidelines” the employee manual was a contract and Toussiant was wrongfully terminated (34). After the precedent set by this case many employers and employees for that matter were reviewing their employee manuals for the type of

The steps involved in the staffing process is quite involved and detailed. First, there has to be some type of organization that conducts the interview such as a committee. This committee could consist parents of children enrolled in center or preschool (who can consider if he or she feels comfortable leaving their child in the hands of the candidate), staff members (who would be working with new candidate and see if the candidate would be a team player), and director or administrator of facility. The final decision on hiring the candidate should be made clear on who has the authority. (Democratic process or committee provide recommendations resting with director or administrator). Second, directors or administrators need to make sure they know the legal aspects of staffing such as the requirements and specifications required by law. Third, the listing of the job needs to be publicized in a number of ways so that every available candidate can view it (such as on internet, flyers, job fairs, and etc.).
