Hi I put a post on here yesterday after questions to ask at an interview. The interview went well and I am hoping to employ the applicant. However someone has said that I should have had 3 people sitting in on the interview, however as I am the owner (and at present the only member of staff!) I interviewd on my own. Is this ok or should it have been done differently? Really hoping someone can put my mind at rest! Kris

Medical Appointments

I have a situation with a member of staff who keeps booking time off for the dr's or hospital without consulting management first. This has led to a few problems in the past. But we discovered this person has booked some time off at the end of week and not requested time off yet, this means we be under staffed for part of the morning - i.e 8 over ratio! This member of staff will not cancel the appointment and re-arrange even after being politely asked. Is it reasonable to expect this person to re-arrange for a more convenient time?

Hi - I am hoping someone out there will have some idea of how we can solve this . We operate out of a multi - use church hall . We recently had a very sucessful ofsted and the only thing they raised with us ( In Keeping Healthy ) was the fact that we dont allow the children to turn the hot water taps on in the toilets ( we put the plugs in and provide water in the bowl for the children to use for handwashing , and we drain and refill regullarly to ensure it is as clean as poss ) . The reason for this is that the hot water coming out of the tap is too hot for the children to use . The ofsted lady said that doing what we do was acceptable for normal circumstance but th…
