As a previous General Manager, during interviews I looked for cleanliness, neatness, punctuality (being on time), arrogance got you nowhere with me! I looked for energetic individuals with a natural love for life itself. If you can love and appreciate life all in its own that asset will carry you far in life, because anything extra will be perceived as a blessing. I liked people who lit up the room with just their presence, and those that kept a smile on their face at all times. Looking more in depth into their background I'd look for dependability lack of excessive absence's, and trustworthiness. Skills to me weren't a big deal I believe that one that doesn't have experience is a better candidate because people get stuck in their ways sometimes and that is harder to work with.

Is it better to apply for full time work or part time work which one is the potential employer more looking to hire?

It really depends what type of job but the employer is most likely looking for a full time employee.


Can the employee rescind his acceptanace of an offer of employment?

I think it depends on what State you live in and if that State is an "at will" employer. You can contact the State Employment Agency, they should know. An employer can rescind an offer at any time for any reason or no reason. If you incurred costs by accepting the offer (like moving or quitting a previous job) the employer may owe damages, unless you lied about not being terminated.

Is overtime optional?

That depends on the company. Some companies don't allow overtime, while others require employees to work overtime on a regular basis. Hourly paid employees, especially fast food workers, clerks, and cashiers are usually not allowed to work overtime because the companies don't want to pay the extra money. Salaried employees (those that make a set monthly or yearly amount no matter how many hours they work) are often required to work overtime, with no extra pay for it. As far as the law goes, no, overtime is not optional. Your employer has the right to keep you at work passed 8 hours if they chose to. If you have a union, your collective agreement often contains a clause that makes overtime optional.

Can an employer have you followed?

Most employers would have little reason, inclination, time, or money to have an employee followed. If an employer suspected some kind of job related wrongdoing, rather than having an employee followed, the employer would more likely report his suspicions to the police.


Can an employer search an employee's pockets on the job?

Yes, in most states, with the exception of a few, an employer has the right to search an employee's personal belongings under many circumstances. If the employer suspects or has open proof that the employee in question has stolen items or believes the employee to be involved in fraud or other circumstances harmful to the company. If a credible employee reports the suspected employee of a theft, the employer may have cause to search the belongings of the employee. As long as the employer remains consistent with its policies regarding searches, the employer remains in the clear for most searches of any employee.

Can employers make contributions to roth IRA?

Yes and no, if an employer contributes to your Roth IRA directly the employer must report it as income to you. Since it is income they must also report it to uncle sam as taxable income and the employer will have to pay payroll taxes on the contribution. They can not pay into a Roth as the employer, so that answer is NO. Most employers will not want to deal with the potential IRS reporting nightmare this can have. That being said, the're companies that offer PDP, payroll deduction plans. These plans are employee funded through the employees paycheck. The funds can be used to fund any type of account, i.e Roth, IRA, 529 and so on. The Employer then sends one check monthly to the company of choice based on the amount each employee has withheld from thier individual pay checks, hence payroll deduction. If the employer is looking to offer this as a benefit to it's employee or key employee the employer would increase the employee's pay to match the amount the employer wishes to contribute to the employee. But ultimately it looks like the employee is making the contributions.


What part of this job do you find most satisfying?

Can asking an employee when she plans to retire be seen as age discrimination?

That depends. Feeling harassed or discriminated against due to age is subjective and varies by individual. The best an employer can due is ask the question under reasonable circumstances, which would be a defense against a discrimination complaint. If the employee is approaching what most people consider retirement age, or if the employee has worked for the number of years to qualify for full retirement benefits, then it would be reasonable for an employer to inquire about the employee's retirement plans because the employer will need to plan for replacing the retiring employee.

Can an employer in a California office or plant search an employee's desk or locker or purse without the employee's permission?

It would depend on where you work. An employer should have a form of an 'employees handbook' which outlines the rules. In most jobs, an employer can search an employee's work area because that belongs to the employer, but a locker is usually a designated space of the employee and a purse is the private property of the employee. However, there are exceptions based on the security and safety requirements of the employer, that is why it would make a difference where you work and what the rules for employees are. It would make a big difference if you worked in a secure facility, or a place with hazards for the employee or the public. When you go to work for someone, you should be provided the rules that apply to your employment; if you've never received that, get it now. Remaining ignorant of the facts leaves you vulnerable to victimization. If you have the rules and know the rules and follow the rules, you will always know where you stand.
