From the information you've given, I strongly recommend documenting everything that happens or is discussed between you and your employer.  It sounds as if this person is in financial trouble and you may have a problem with getting the money you're owed.  \nIf your employer is 4 weeks behind the normal, scheduled pay dates you should first attempt to solve the problem by telling the employer you need your money immediately. I also recommend looking for an alternate method of providing income for your family.  \nIf the employer will not terminate employment, and you have not signed a casual labor contract, you need to speak with a labor relations officer.  This can be done at your local employment insurance office.  It sounds as if you work for a small organization and unfortunately your employer is not interested in taking care of his employees.  \n\nGood luck and remember to follow the proper channels so that you have moral superiority and the law on your side.

I, too, am second in charge at my job.  The best way I've found to deal with timid bosses is to first talk to them about the problem.  You are there to help them, so help.  Approach your boss in a non-threatening way, one-on-one, and discuss your concerns.  You could say "I've noticed other employees not adhering to the company policies. I know we don't want to send the message that this is acceptable. What do you think we could do to discourage this?"  If your boss tries to skirt the issue or tries to blow you off, be firm.  You could also say "I know coaching and corrective action isn't one of the fun aspects of your job, and I'd be happy to help you with this (if you truly are).  Let's get a game plan together so we can be sure we are on the same page with this"  This way your boss should get the hint that something needs to be done, and you are willing to help, yet you don't have to go over her head or make her feel like she can't do her job correctly.  Good Luck!

If you are not currently UNemployed, then write down "ASAP", if you are employed, give them a date 2 weeks from today and let them know that you have to give your current employer a 'two-week' notice, that way they know that you are responsible and won't leave them hanging if you find another job. :)

You could go to your immediate superior or to human resources and ask them if you can get some more help in your department.  \n\nI'd not accuse this co-worker as that would reflect badly on you as well.   I'm sure they'd be more likely to get a temp or some more help if you tell them that the workload would run more streamlined and the work get done in a more timely manner.

They will not give you a two week notice when they fire you.\nThink about it

You should really talk to your coworkers and see if they are experiencing the same. The key is in silent change and action. You should all approach senior management together with this issue and stay together. Senior management will not fire your boss, but will coach them better. Good luck and do not give up your current job except if all else fails. Remember you have got nothing to lose, so fight it silently. Wish you all the very best and hope you will celebrate your 2 year anniversary with the company along with your manager.

In today's litigious society, I suggest you document, document, document. Make sure you have at least three reasons. If it is time clock related, it is time theft or an attendance issue, you can fire right away for the first but need to fit the latter to your companies policy for attendance. And so it goes, document everything, always have an answer for your reasons and make sure those reasons fit your companies policies.\n\nTo actually do the firing, take the person into a private space, bringing with you the next down in management or position that is of the same sex as the offender. This will protect you on so many levels. Then, start by stating the companies policy's that were broken and inform that person they "no longer have a job" with this company. I suggest you do this first thing when they come in or they will hear rumors. Be prepared for outbursts of anger or denial and maintain your cool. Hold to the facts and if the person yells or raises Cain, inform them they will be escorted to their locker to collect their things (or where ever their things are) and walk with them to the door. \n\nFiring someone has to have really good back up because they will 9 times out of  10 file for unemployment which costs your company money. Save the money and your raises will be a bit easier for the company.

ignore her and let her be, eventually management will be fed up with her and can her @$$, in the mean time you have to put up with it. they cannot just fire someone without proper documentation or else they can be sued.

Do not call and tell a lie to get out of work. Believe me an employer knows when a lie is being told, they have heard many of them. I would call them early and see if they can find someone to work for you. Sometimes there are other employees who will gladly pick up the hours.  But be prepared to work if there is no one to cover your shift. Do what is right.

Well since you're moving in January then thats fact ! You have nothing to be shy about. You have a life just like others in which anything can happen. Just go up to your boss and tell him/her that You have something important to discuss and if he/she has time to discuss sit down with'em and tell them that due to whatever circumstances or family decision you will be moving therefore you would like to give notice. Your boss should appreciate your honesty of giving them a heads up in advance rather then just calling in one day and saying you won't be showing up. Atleast you're giving your boss a chance to find your replacement so they would infact appreciate it more.  So don't be shy about it, be very frank and profesional about it. Its a normal thing.

Write a nice letter to your boss, then go in and give it to him/her and sit down and have a chat. Explain how much you've enjoyed working with them but say that, as in life generally, sometimes you have to move on. Keep it friendly and stress what a good boss they have been and how much you have learned. Also offer to help with recruitment for your replacement. It's very hard and I've been in the same position - you feel personally responsible for letting them down - but try not to feel like that. It is only a job after all. Good luck and enjoy your new job!

Talk to your supervisor and see what they are willing to arrange. They are not required by any law to meet your schedule.

You are probley too nice. Show them you wont take anymore mess in a way that wont get you fired.Call off a couple of times. If they feel you are a valued employee they should cut you some slack. If not quit.

Please keep on the company until they say,  Thank you but we have decided to go with another candidate.   The job is yours to lose.   Sometimes employers pick the candidate that is persistent enough to wade through conflicting schedules, changed meeting times.     Stay persistent.   The rewards are given to those that keep at it.

Tell them you have deadlines to meet and that you really can't stand around and talk to them. Try to keep working the best you can. Ask them if they would please let you get your work done and maybe you could arrange to meet them after work.

You can call your labor board and call OSHA to file a complaint.  Do your company have a strong HR dept and / or union?  Once you file a complaint the company can't fire you on grounds about your job situation.  Just be on time and don't violate rules.

Even for "at will" employers, they cannot terminate an employee for an illegal reason. So if you have evidence that your termination was illegal, then I would seek the advice of an employment lawyer.
