We did away with our attendance incentive because any FML absences had t o count as if employee was there for qualifying for the incentive. We had employees upset because they actually had perfect attendance and those that had missed even up to 4…

Affirmative Action is a federal requirement of government contractors or sub-contractors with employees over 50 in a 75 mile radius. Be sure that someone you do work does not hold a government contract.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THESE EVALUATION FORMS ALSO. MY FAX IS 660/259-4824. THANKS SS

Don is right on concerning the documentation, Missouri does have a retaliation clause under the WC law but if you have it well documented that you followed policy then you won't have a problem. As for his "alleged back injury", unless he could tell…

Be sure that you don't do the physical before you have made a job offer. It is actually a post-offer physical. You can do drug screens for applicants but not physicals. Also, just because the physican does not pass the employee on his physical yo…

Not in Missouri, it's only 3 days and WC will pay if you don't. Best to control the injury, you make the appointments and notify the Therapy provider to notify you if they don't show or try to change the appointment. Employees and providers for us…

What we have in Missouri is the right to pick the treating doctor. We always retain that right, we do not let the insurance company pick the doctor or control the treatment, we do. We track and control all treatment, including working with the att…

We do not have our own medical department, but we do contract with a physicain to provide on site or on call medical care for all of our employees regardless of the shift. We provide space for an office and he provides nurses to staff it or be on c…

If you have a light duty policy for employees on work comp and have work available under that policy, you tell her that you have work available and if she chooses to not come to work, then the time will be counted against her attendance as a persona…

I would send her to your WC doctor. Hopefully you can pick the treating doctor in your state. Get him to rule it work related or not. I'll bet you if she goes to her personal doctor that it will be work related. You want to control the treatment…

Maybe this will help and maybe not. We contract with a physician who provides staff to see our employees at our facilities. We do not pass these costs along to the carrier. One of the things we required of this agreement was the a nurse would att…

Not sure what your state WC statue allows, but as you are paying the bills (through the carrier or self-insured), you should have a right to the records. HIPPA excludes WC, so that is not an issue. Perhaps there is an issue with your state statue …

I can't see why you would want to use anything but the rolling year (year previous to requested start date). Otherwise they could stack 12 weeks at the end of one calendar year and 12 weeks of the next year. We track FML by the hours, 480 in a yea…

Sorry, I don't think there is a good answer to the intermittent leave, it is abused and there is very little a company can do about it. You can't require documentation past the certification. However, I don't think it matters what state you are in…

I agree with Ballonman, I would not file a WC claim after she has already had it addressed as a personal issue. People with asthma can do a lot of jobs, I don't believe they would be considered disabled. I would be careful about not hiring someone…

the sign must be a minimum of 11inches by 14 inches and the letter must be at least 1 inch in height. While there is no specific language required, the word "prohibited" is specifically required. Our attorneys suggested the following: "The posses…

You might want to look again, it does not apply to worker's compensation. The statue specifically excepts it.
