1-1/2 times the weighted rate should be used for the overtime pay rate for hours worked over 40 for employees in the position you described. The DOL viewed a similar situation at a company I worked for as having created part-time positions to avoi…

Thank you so much for sharing. This has been so helpful. Julia in South Carolina >Here is the website where the text of the final >rules can be found. It's pretty clear. > >[url]http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/regs/fedreg/final/2004…

I agree with Carey. If the employee is entitled to FMLA and isn't sure whether or not she will return, she is still entitled to the same benefits as any other situation entitled to STD. Most often, pregnant women espcially, don't know whether or n…

This is an FMLA covered event and is probably one of those events that FMLA was designed to protect. It does affect productivity each time an employee is absent, however, if the employee is a solid quality preformer it is easier to for the manage…

You are so helpful. I will check with our state DOL to request labor market info. We are an unusual location as over 85% of our employees are 50+ which puts most of them have 20+ years with this company. With only 6 pay levels that explains why th…

Don: Thanks for the info. We are a French company operating separately from our headquarters which is in Belgium. So we are on our own as far as reviewing local salary surveys, etc. I like the idea of increasing the levels 2-4% every year or two t…

Pork: I agree that its ok to disagree - so are we cool? Julia

I'm in love with Pork already! I love a guy who can express himself. Julia

I read your anger, but sending him home without pay could cost the taxpapers even more if you penalize him prematurely of a guilty verdict. Police officers are placed on paid leave until an investigation is done to determine whether or not they act…

I would place him on a paid leave-of-absence pending the outcome - this doesn't indicate the company feels he is either guilty or not guilty, just a good business decision based on the fact that his presence is a distraction at work, for others and …

The good news is the HHS will act as monitor for the 1st 2 years of HIPAA compliance before administering the stiff penalies and fines for non-compliance....unless there is blatant negligence. The bad news is that should you not be in complaince an…

That's correct! Have a great weekend. Julia

Yes, that's my understanding as well. However, I am maintaining FMLA return-to-work forms signed by the physicians which contains PHI that is covered under our health plans the same as other HIPAA privacy information. (Just to insure we are maki…

I don't think there is anyway out of HIPAA either for most companies. Even the TPA is a Business Associate and will need to sign a HIPAA Business Associate agreement. If you have an insurance broker, you will need a Business Associate Agreement with…

I've found you do have to be HIPAA compliant if you touch PHI (maintain invoices which contain PHI, maintain a medical file containing PHI associated with your health plans, discuss and/or assist employees with health claim issues, etc.)

I too would like a copy of your retaliation policy. We are a 100+ small company but still have to be HIPAA compliant. Our legal advisors explained that we needed to identify as "privacy employees" those who also have access to the names of employe…

Would you send a copy of your non-retaliation policy to me as well. [email]lzimmerman@greenwood.actaris.com[/email]? We are 101 employees and are just about finished with the HIPAA complaince documents. Not as scary as originally thought. Just t…
