Answer 2well I hope you haven't accepted any of the gifts. I'm not a supervisor so i'm not sure what you're supposed to do to discipline people, but don't let her get away with it.
Answer 3Don't accept the gifts - period. She might be using the gifts as a bribe, but just don't be involved. That way you won't feel obligated to "hushhush" her wrongs.
Answer 4Yep, she is. So basically you are accepting bribes. Look over her hire paperwork and see if it is written down what her hours are. If they are, ask her to review them and report to you. If they are not, better get it done. And just say no to the gifts.
Answer 5have a 1-to-1 talk about the gifts. tell her it doesnt work with you and that her performance leaves much to be desired. ask her what her plans to improve her performance are. if she admit her faults and suggest self improvement, have it documented and used for her work performance evaluation later on. oh yeah. return the gifts.
Answer 6it sounds pretty obvious that she's trying to bribe u. ask her. ask her whats with all the gifts.
Answer 7If your instincts tell you that this colleague is somehow committing bribery - then pls. do not tolerate. Accepting gift might mislead the person in believing you will cover up for her shortcomings at work. I would greatly suggest that you talk to your colleague privately and inform her that there's a "no-gift policy" being observed in your company. Express how much you appreciate her thoughtfulness but at the same time, you do not want to risk your position and as well as hers. Since you have authority over her - then its your duty to inform your colleague about complying to the proper working hours to ensure maximum productivity. Communication is the key to resolve this predicament.
Answer 8She is trying to bribe her way of coming to work late and leaving early. Don't accept her gifts! She needs to do her job. You can mention to her "I appreciate that you are giving me gifts. I can't accept your gifts anymore. You need to come in when your shift begins and leave when your shift ends. If you can't manage that, maybe it's best to find another ; remember you are her boss/supervisor/what have you, so you have to be firm.
Answer 9Tell her her gifts are too expensive and you have to reject them.
