I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I'm not a frequent poster, but feel like I know some of you, and will remember you & your husband in my prayers.

He was a genuinely nice man. He visited our small town (1100 people) several times when he was in the area for performances, & would just walk up & down Main St. talking to anyone on the street. (That's probably where he got some of his jo…

Regardless of anyone's stand on the war, the sacrifices of the young men & women serving in the Armed Forces all over the world are made to defend all of us and the freedoms we enjoy every day. Thanks to, and prayers for, all of them--and to th…

cnn.com's poll today is on whether he should be kept separate from the rest of the prison population. When I looked, it was overwhelmingly "NO!!!"

We haven't really changed any habits. I have a 22-mile trip one way, so am considering a change in vehicles. I have a small SUV which I love, but may go back to a passenger car. But it won't be a compact! Drove Escorts for several years, and lik…

Safety, you must be close to my age--& I'm not telling. When my husband was stationed in Calif. in Navy days, the gas wars were almost constant. It was great! It jumped to $2.55 today--up $.10. And that's for ethanol, which is always several…

$2.45 this morning, but that was a $.10 jump from yesterday--and it may have gone up again since then.

We terminate the employee's coverage when their employment ends, and then reinstate if they choose COBRA.

Match up to first 2%.

Update--carrier has now denied claim, but not until surgery became a possibility. They are now telling us that injury had to have occurred during employee's working hours, and employee had clocked out at time of accident.
-
Nietra, I do think it depends on the ALJ. But we lost one recently when an employee had thrown pieces of metal at another employee, and then threatened to beat the "f***in' s**t out of whoever "ratted" him out. Seemed like gross misconduct to us, …
-
In my comments about the ALJ, I was referring to unemployment. Sorry! Another scenario--at a previous employer in Illinois, employees had to cross a city street to a lot not owned by the company. An employee fell on ice in that lot, and our work …
-
But in my experience, gross misconduct is VERY hard to prove, and Iowa ALJ's tend to side with the employee. The initial claim may be denied, but if the employee appeals, I think it's much more likely to go with the employee.
-
I agree, and that's the way we're going.
-
All she can think of is that she scuffed/caught the toe of her shoe and tripped over her own feet. She was walking with another employee, and they don't know what happened either--just all of a sudden the employee was lying on the ground in pain.
-
From additional research, it looks like Iowa case law would consider this compensable. As others have stated, I don't think we necessarily want to go where denying this could go. Have to pick our battles. Thanks!
-
Frustrating, isn't it? Even the employee doesn't know what happened. There was nothing to trip on--perfectly flat, dry concrete parking lot.
-
Thanks. We have told the care provider to treat it as work comp with normal post-accident drug screen & will proceed in that direction. Final decision will be up to the carrier.

At a former employer, all locations had an AED. All supervisors, managers were trained in its use by the vendor. We were also given CPR training at that time. All then were trained in first aid by certified instructors from our fire dept. Thank …

I know private schools have to follow different guidelines than public schools, but I would check with the licensing group for day care facilities. Something similar might be appropriate. My question is why would a school have an overnight babysit…

We pay for jury duty, with no time limit for hourly employees. There is a 3-week time limit for the salaried group. We do deduct the amount of their jury pay.
-
We rely mostly on our local Workforce Development office and their online postings. Most of our openings are hourly manufacturing positions, and this seems to work best. We use print ads for salaried positions, but rarely use the big job boards. …
-
We were in a similar situation at a former employer, and we hired temporary security until the situation had somewhat calmed down. And also had frequent drive-by's by local law enforcement--benefit of being in a small town.

And--you stop counting at 180 days. Also part of that change.
