Welcome to another Listener Q&A with The Team at HR Stories! Today’s episode dives into several interesting questions

1. How do you deal with an employee who refuses to work alone with a member of the opposite sex citing religious convictions?
2. Any ideas how to bring an admin out of her shell? I hesitate to use the word anti-social, but I'm at my wits end trying to deal with her. She'll use one-word responses that I have to practically drag out of her. No socialization at all.
3. If someone is an exempt employee, can they ask to be switched to non-exempt? Does the employer need to honor their request?
