Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Albert Einstein I find it unfortunate that we are in a situation where questioning our leader results in our troops feeling they are loosing s…

Don- I found the profiles page after I posted yesterday, so that's clear. But now you're just giving me the creeps. I know you have a receding hairline and ride a motorcycle, but why I know that is obvious. As for you not understanding why I poste…

Yep-Nora is the one and no, I'm not kidding. I don't watch Dr. Phil, but I've been kind of keeping tabs on it and caught it this Tuesday when AI was at commercial. As for Smelly, I just thought it might bring up some interesting ideas. Fortunet…

Wow, you're underpaid.

atrimble- Thanks, I like the idea of requiring a dr's note. That way you're not necessarily saying that they cannot use sick time, but simply detering them from abusing it. People do dislike seeing a dr for minor illnesses, especially when there's…

s moll- I wasn't looking at it that way, but that makes sense since he just stopped showing after calling out those two days and I did use his actual last day worked for record. Our handbook also says something to that effect. But what about thos…

That's what I recommended. I thought we'd be legally obligated to pay him since there's nothing in our policy about not being able to use sick time after giving notice. When our GM saw the check with the sick time, he threw a fit, made payroll rec…

He would not get overtime because it is hours worked and vacation/sick/holiday are not hours worked. If you have a policy that vacation can only be taken in certain hour increments, then you need to do that. Otherwise, yes, just give him the 7 and…

I wasn't aware of the difference between fluctuating and set hours, so I'm going to do a little more digging. You guys have been very helpful. Thanks!

Don- Following your example then, would the employer be violating the salary status if they docked pay for time missed (not full days)? For example, Mary is sick and goes home early, but is out of sick time. She only puts in 38 hours for the week…

I'd tend to agree as I don't think they even pass the first step in the exempt test. The managers cannot hire or term anyone, they spend most of their time working freight, like the average employee only they have a little more responsibility. The…

Thanks for the advice. I'd come to that same conclusion yesterday and decided to play it safe. She was notified in writing that she would owe the money but there was no confirmation from her on the subject. I'd rather have a happy former employee…

Since my original post, I did a little more digging. From what I've been told, as an employer, if you are paying a flat amount towards benefits which would create an unequal percentage across the age brackets, you are still in compliance because yo…

Thanks-I guess this was pretty much a stupid question or I should have been a little more specific. I have all the benefit side of everything done, I'm just trying to figure out if I should include their OT time for that year also.
-
I should get the cert form back today and I believe it will be FMLA for the emotional support aspect. There never was a question as to whether he could take time, but more to properly designating it as FMLA. Thanks for all the input.
-
I did send the cert form with him, so he will get that filled out. You're probably are right on the dr approving it...I just don't see why a visit every once in awhile would qualify as FMLA, even if that does provide comfort to the patient. It's n…

We had 6 employees who were going to walk out and leave early to attend the rally if they didn't get permission to go. They would work up until 1 hour before. We chose to let them go...morale, etc. I wonder though, if we would have termed them ha…

I agree. In WA for unemployment purposes if you let an ee go after their notice and don't pay them for their notice, whether it be a week, two, etc., then for unemployment purposes, it goes down as a term and they will get it.
-
I agree with everyone that you have to have top management buy off on the importance of reviews. I also failed to mention that our GM delivered the message that the supervisor would be the one penalized for not turning it in on time, I just simply t…
-
When I first started at our company, we had supervisors that were months behind and some who just didn't even do the reviews. I did training, sent memos, email reminders, called them, etc. to try and get them to do their reviews. It helped, but di…
-
I agree. Our sick policy has always included parents as immediate family members. Also, though this is specific to WA, we have the WA Family Care Act of 2003 which allows employees to use any/all paid leave to care for sick family members and it sp…

HRCalico- Our board consists of the 4 owners, my boss who owns a very small portion, and 3 others. The other 3 owners were out of town the entire week and 1 (who is the majority owner) returned on late Friday. The other 2 are still gone. All in all…
-
Thanks for your words of support. I keep my fingers crossed that it all blows over eventually, but I've already come to the conclusion that while I'm out on leave, I should start taking a look out there to see what's available and really think abou…

Don- You do like to pick on people don't you? Why post, if your posting offers no help-simply for your own amusement? You do the math....32 weeks pregnant, pregnancy is counted as 40 weeks, leaving me with 8 weeks to go. I'd say that's about 2…

The sad thing is that her review should not have been a surprise. She was counseled numerous times over the year, with the last incident being just last week. She just has one of those personalities that hears what they want to hear and believes w…

Thanks-right now, I'm just looking at the worst case scenerio and preparing myself. My review is in 3 weeks, so we will see how that goes. Hopefully, my boss will be able to set this all aside and look at the situation professionally. If not, the…

mwild31- Thanks for your reply. Sometimes it takes someone to just step out of the situation or an uninvolved person to bring light to an idea that should have clearly been the option. Earlier today I was more or less thinking along the lines of ho…

Well- we decided to let him do the transfer. Of course we could have just let him quit which is what he was going to do if we didn't transfer him, but he has a good track record. He's not our best employee, but he's never been in trouble and he's …

S Moll-The manager sat down with each employee on their own and let them tell their side. The she interviewed several other employees who were in the same department to see if any of them had heard what had happened between the two other employees.…

crawfod- Thanks for your opinion, but I do have to disagree. I did do research outside the forum and found more cons than pros for the flat scale. In the PM's case, the previous company paid extremely well for their industry and most of the jobs w…
