  • We have just started working on a plan and one of the things we have employees doing is filling out a personal information sheet with their cell phone number, carrier, email address, and other emergency information. We are asking them to then check…
  • Thanks Frank. Your response was very helpful.

  • We send out rescission letters to employees if they fail to pass the physical requirements of the job prior to being hired, if certain things show up on their criminal background check that are not allowed by the state and lying on their job applica…
  • Well, I am certainly not overpaid but I traded in my 98 Olds Intrigue last November and bought a "pre-owned" (I don't know why they use that term. Afterall, it's just a used car) 1999 Lexus RX 300. I love it! My kids have left the nest and since …
  • We pay 100% for medical/dental/std/ltd. The ee picks up 50% of the cost for medical and 100% for dental for dependents.
  • Here's our policy: • During the 1st calendar year of employment - 10 days • During the 2nd calendar year of employment and up to the completion of the 4th calendar year of employment - 15 days • Starting with the 5th calendar year of employme…
  • This has come up several times since I have been here. An employee uses all of their FMLA leave and still needs 2 weeks or maybe a month more. We continue to pay for their insurance knowing that they will return on a specific date. We send them a …
  • Thank you. I went to that section of the regs and printed it so I have it to show in case I am questioned.
  • Thanks so much for your response. We use the look forward method butI had another source tell me that once the first year goes by and the ee does not need FMLA on the anniversary of their year, then you being the year again when the ee needs the le…
  • I've been away so I haven't been able to respond. Yes, he did complete all the FMLA paperwork. I sent him a letter two weeks before his FMLA was up telling him that he had to return to work on August 27 without restrictions. The one sentence that…
  • > Maybe it can't but you need the documentation to show that you went through the process to protenct your company if it becomes an ADA issue at a later date. This ee has not claimed any disability nor has she requested a reasonable accom…
  • We are a residential facility for kids with emotional issues, learning disabilities, physical or sexual abuse and substance abuse. The ee has to be able to participate in a restraint, if necessary, so they must return to work without any restrictio…
  • Thank you both for your input. My gut feeling was not to post but everybody is anxious because of their budgets. The thing is, this is an ee that they would rehire so I don't see why they just don't extend her time for an additional 3 weeks plus. …
  • The ee used 30 days last summer and will have used 50 days in 2005. CT law states 12 weeks in a 12 month period or up to 16 weeks in a two year period. When the ee first went out, due to a car accident, we thought she would be back sooner. She w…
  • Yes. And thank you for the website info. It's good to know there are Forumites to help people like me who have a split job and do not do HR full-time. My title is Executive Secretary but I do background checks, orientation of new employees and …

  • Thanks for your replies but does anyone know what the regs say regarding this. Can you point me to a website? Thanks again.
    in FMLA Comment by CCH1400 January 2005
  • I tend to disagree. Unless she has complications which would cause her to be hospitalized just the fact that she is pregnant does not mean FMLA kicks in. The hospitalization would cause her to be disabled and the delivery would cause her to be dis…
  • CT has free postings on their Department of Labor website. See if your state has one. We also advertise on our website.
  • We pay the difference between what the employee earns as a juror and what the employee would have earned at work (base pay). This benefit, however, does not apply to any employee who volunteers to serve on a jury.
  • Our company is fully insured. We have about 180 employees. Other than posting the Privacy Notice do we have to give each employee a Privacy Notice?
  • At our agency, "days accumulated in excess of 25 days at the end of the calendar year (December 31) will be sold to the employee at 50% of the accumulated time using the December 31st rate of pay". This pay out takes place during the month of Janua…

  • I work for a non-profit residential treatment facility in CT and we do our background checks through a private vendor because the turnaround time is faster. However, we could use the State Police Bureau of Identification if we had to. I don't thin…
  • No shows are frustrating. I do orientation for new hires and when they don't call or show up I have wasted my time. It also can be costly as you indicated. Recently we had someone who went for the pre-employment physical, PPD testing, drug test a…
  • Hi! Here's our mission statement. We are a private nonprofit multi-service agency with kids in treatment for behavioral, emotional and/or learning disabilities "Our Mission is to provide quality care for the maximum number of children and familie…
  • Thanks for your response. I am new to HR and needed confirmation of what I thought was the right course to follow.
