  • It's going to be sad to see so many go, but if you can, I do recommend a subscription. I really enjoy my monthly newsletters plus this forum. I joined for the newsletters, this forum was a bonus. I hope you will all do what is best for you and y…
  • I want Bo to win... which means Carrie will win. But if we are going with diversity, they have not had a white male win yet, so it is quite possible that it will be Bo.

  • I would too. She was obviously stressed out and didn't handle it well. The way she acted towards her final task was not an indication of how she was and how she will be. I didn't like Kendra and her blue glittery eye shadow. She was immature…

  • I don't get it - why IS he leaving? B/c he reached 10K posts? If so, I'm confused...

  • There really aren't any rules. Some groups of people may organize a cache with rules and objectives, but for the most part it is purely for the fun of the hunt. I guess the rules are, don't move the cache, don't take from the cache if you don't …
  • Exactly! It's only for those who have a sense of adventure. Some geocaches can take an hour or it can take a day to a couple of days. It all depends on the difficulty level of the cache. My cache can only be located by using a 4x4 vehicle. Any c…
  • Here are some of my favorites... "They used to call me Snow White... But I drifted." -Regina Barrenca "Did the Wizard ever get back to you about that brain?" -Unknown Of course neither of which have anything to do with what you are looking for- I…
  • Ditto. We have Earned Time Off (ETO) and employees use it how they see fit. If they abuse it and use it all up then when they need to take time off and have no ETO it goes against their attendance record. And of course they don't get paid for it.…
  • I guess I am more concerned with any laws that this might violate. For those who pay semi-monthly, what do you do when payday falls on a weekend?
  • Since she has signed an enrollment form giving you, the employer to deduct the cost of insurance from her wages, you are allowed to do so, however, you can NOT bring her wages, whether hourly or salary, below minimum wage. For example: if her payc…
  • Thank you for your reply. According to our company policy (written under Georgia law) we only pay out Earned Time Off when and if the employee gives proper two week notice and/or if resignation is accepted early when a sufficient notice has been gi…
  • I don't particularly care for it either. The whole point of an FSA is to "estimate" how much you will need in medical reimbursements. If you know your deductible is $500.00 and your co-pay is $20.00 and you estimate going to the doctor three times…
  • What are you going to do if the employee takes the money and drops insurance but then states they want to re-enroll during open enrollment. Are you going to make them repay the incentive? What if they lose the other coverage and took the incentive…
  • It all makes perfect sense. If you aren't going to return after having the child then there is no need to apply for FMLA or STD. Same as if they were accepting another job. What it sounds like is that the "mother" is wanting to collect STD with…
  • A substantial increase in premiums would be a reason for him to drop his insurance, however it is not a "life-status change" therefore it doesn't allow for the employee to come on your plan during a time that is NOT open enrollment. The spouse "cho…
  • I don't think my answer will help you, but... We don't separate sick, vacation, personal, etc. days. Employees earn a certain amount of time and they can use however they see fit. So if they want to make a Dr.'s appointment in the middle of the d…
  • I just want to make sure I understand this... Right now you have an employee and children rate of say ($500) per month. Let's say you only ask ee's to pay 50% of the premium cost. So now an ee who has employee+children coverage pay $250 per month …
  • To the best of my knowledge, no. He will not be able to rollover the funds into a 401K. The funds in the 401K were not contributions made by him, therefore he does not have the ability to roll them into a 401K account in his name. He can open a…
  • We are on a POS in 5 states. GA - 9% increase OH - 3% increase NY - 20% increase PA - 0% increase CA - 5% increase overall we experienced an average of 8.5%. I was extremely please with that and expected a whole lot more. It is so hard to pred…
  • I asked AFLAC to come in for a meeting after the employees pretty much demanded that we offer it. We went over the plans available, I asked him to get me some information in July of 2003 and I still haven't heard back from him. So, Can you guess w…

  • Gee Don - could this "poor dude" have any more problems, or are we talking from experience here?

  • Well I guess that would depend on what your handbook says. Do you have anything in there about falsifying company documents? If so, of course discipline her, she just tried to fraudulently deceive the company into giving her time off under a feder…
  • We have an ee out on WC now. Her physician has approved her to come back to work full time. However, in the state of GA the injured has 16 days to "try" the job and if they just can't do it, they don't have to. Her physician has recommended that …
  • Actually, I have one more question... Does both the employee and the child work for your company?
  • Just curious... what kind of application do you have that a person with a hearing impairment would need an interpreter for?
  • E Wart has a good policy on this. I agree with the others as well. The eye exam is the employee's expense.
  • What potential issues do you see if they were to terminate the employee? Knowing how sue happy he is - I'm really hesitant to term. I need some more back-up. Has anyone here termed someone on STD and if so, on what grounds and how did you phra…
  • That's strange, I typed up a post, but it never posted...
