I have a ten year old son who I fight with every night to get him in the shower. Fortunately, I win most of the time. I live with my 2 year old nephew also. He is just the opposite. His mom takes off the diaper and he runs to the back to throw i…

Parabeagle, those are my favorites too. Krispy Kremes just started opening up in my neighborhood. Some of the employees bring them in, but I agree, I don't understand all the fuss.

Happy Birthday! I will turn 36 this Friday. I have a wonderful son, a supportive family and a new man in my life. And, I only have to work a half a day on my birthday. I am definitely blessed. Thanks for reminding me of how good my life is.

I have interpreters. I also am struggling with Spanish. I would love to learn those languages, it would come in handy, but they are both hard to learn.
-
I'm glad I am not alone. I will talk to this employee tomorrow. I don't want to just let it go, I know she is going to cry. I hate that. After talking to other employees, I am certain that she really is making faces and name-calling. She has be…

I am going to look into that. Or else I will just pile boxes up around her every day and she can sit in her little cardboard palace.
-
Maybe I should sent you the empty boxes and your employee can put a recycle sticker on it and eveyone can collect with her.

MMmmmmmm....chocolate. Remember the Marathon bar?? They don't make them any more. Now, I will settle for just about any kind of chocolate. My desk right now is filled with Reese's peantu butter cups and York peppermint patties.

How about "Concrete Evidence"

A Leo here. July 25th. And I am a total Leo. And, I also got a tattoo, of a lion, on my thigh when I was 21.

I lost 70 pounds on Weight Watchers in 1999 and managed to keep all but ten of it off. (The ten is my now ex-husband's fault) I tried every diet out there, Jenny Craig, shakes, Atkins, you name it, I tried it. Weight Watchers was the one that d…

I started dating a guy several months ago. He is really wonderful. He is overweight, but I find him very attractive, so my vote is that is doesn't matter. I also have worked very hard on my weight problems. I lost 70 pounds in 1999 and have mana…

I would be at a lake somewhere fishing with my son, or bicycling on one of the paths here in the area. I am not going to get any work done now that I am thinking about that...

I feel your pain. I get at least three phone calls a day from come company or another wanting to quote health insurance, send me a "free sample of their latest and greatest HR magazines" and other sales calls. I had the same person call me every d…

Don, I always enjoy reading your posts. The information you give has always helped me with sometimes difficult questions. Now to know what you look like is just the icing on the cake.

The only problem I have with the music in my head is that I usually end up with some children's song that my two year old nephew was listening to the night before. It was "The Muffin Man" last night. It just keeps running through my head...

After a RIF, one of the employees found out that I was calling employees back to work. She called me and when I told her that I had filled all of the positions, she accused me of discriminating against her because she was Russian.
-
Thanks, they asked me to research and went ahead and did their own thing anyway.
-
Thank you both for your input. Our employees love to get overtime, and complain when there is none. Then they complain when there is more. It is an interesting situation. I have a couple temps coming in tomorrow to help get this department caugh…
-
Thank you. I will mention this program to the owners too.
-
I see what you mean. IL TITLE 56 states the "no vacation is earned during a limited period at the commencement of employment. The employer must demonstrate that the provision is not a subterfuge to avoid payment of vacation actually earned by leng…
-
Thank you all very much for your input. I called in the WC claim with reservations. The carrier has always been very good, and they will look closely as to whether this is compensable or not. I didn't think about how FMLA and WC would not necessar…

He is a good employee. His friends from work are going to stop by his house and let me know. I've been trying to call, but I hadn't considered the police.
-
Thank you both. I always just terminate if they stop coming in and don't bother to call. So, I will go with that. I will wait until the end of the week. Payroll doesn't go until Tuesday, so I have some time. Thanks again!
-
As long as you treat everyone the same. If you don't accrue vacation for anyone on leave, you don't have to accrue for FMLA. Since we continue to accrue as long as they are on an approved LOA, we have to accrue for FMLA too. Our company allows ex…
-
Thanks. We don't pay holiday when someone is out on leave. Unless the leave is approved. We allow a maximum of 4 weeks of leave to any employee with us for two years. Some of it may be paid, some not. We pay all vacation accrued at the annivers…
-
Thank you. I told a family member that I was going to send the FMLA form and that I needed the cert. Of course, that is only verbal. I knew the ee wouldn't get it, but I told his family member so she could let him know what was going on. I appre…
-
Thank you Don. You put it much more eloquently than my attempt.
-
My words and my thoughts don't seem to be comminucated as I had hoped. I don't mean that you automatically have a disability. Don expressed my thoughts much better than I did. I meant that if one person gets it, they all want it. I can't make…

I don't think paperwork is the point here. The problem is if you accomodate an employee that has been released to full duty, that employee is "perceived" to have a disability, and then you are on the hook for disability. Also, if you help that emp…
