  • Spend 30 minutes reviewing his restrictions and finding the crappiest job or part of a job that is within them. Tell him that is his assignment. Spell it out in writing to meet your modified duty restiction we are assigning you to the task of XXXX…
  • Tricky one..........will vary by state. But does your company have a policy of not reimbursing for alcohol? That would help a defense. Most likely you are gonna get hooked on the WC........ YOu may also get sued on the car accident. Was it their…
  • 6 month recovery is b&%%sh!t. And if by chance it is not ask the doc if both hands can have the surgery at the same time. If yes, then you know how much is reasonable to offer. Have you given thought to using FMLA as a guideline for leave/j…
  • No severance....... Tell him good luck. My $0.02 worth, The Balloonman
  • If he contacts you again say sorry the decision is made. If he mentions the note, say guess you should have been wearing "Depends". Nice try, but the termination stands. My $0.02 worth, The Balloonman
  • Good deal, I was reading this thinking if I turned in my resignation based on receiving the offer of employment, and you rescinded it, I would have my lawyer on your ass in a heartbeat. Then when the facts come out that you rescinded an offer for s…

  • Been there done that in a union environment. If you do not offer restircted duty (I hate calling it light duty) for non work related illnesses you treat the pregnant woman the same. I had a shop steward accuse me of discriminating against the preg…
  • Hmmm lets see, your options are you have to be able to work in the looby with the way the current environment is, of course you are open to minor changes, or you are let go. That is it in a nutshell. The position limits you ability to accomodate, …
  • 40 years experience? Hell she must be old, don't hire her. She will just bitch and bitch and be going to the doctors office all the time. The job pays X. She can take it or leave it. My $0.02 worth, The Balloonman PS I was kinda…
  • Next time she goes over his head he should bring her in, and in writing note she was given direction to do X. Instead of doing X she called HR to inquire if she has to do it that way. This have become a continued pattern where you fail to do work …
  • As long as the job description has the line, and other duties as assigned, if he asks or tells her to do it, she had better. That being said, you better get him to start documenting any time she objects. Myself if I were him, would contact HR and …
  • E Wart, If there was bad weather and they were not able to stop they were not driving safely. They would be following to closely for conditions. Sorry if you rear end someone it should always be considered an at fault accident. My $0.02 worth. Th…

  • Call your provider of testing ask if they have a site in their building that is less boothlike and quiet enough for them to conduct a successful test. If it is tucked away in a quiet part of the building then maybe they can do the test with the doo…

  • I have often been considered a hard ass when it comes to WC. However that being said, everywhere I have been I have paid them for the day of the injury...... THink about it, if a legit injury, why create the bad will for a few hours pay...........…
  • So did you get it resolved? The Balloonman
  • You identified one of the problems that I had at my last company, the reviews are tied to anniversary date, so they are coming all the time. How we corrected this, and it really did make a huge difference, we did a 90 day review on all new hires, t…
  • My last company used to have a drink all you want mentality at these parties, it was a construction company.........wow. I helped enlighten the owners, and steer them away from the good old boys way to a more professional way. What worked really wel…

  • FYI, I used to work in a place with an older workforce, and I have dealt with 5 heart attacks. In EACH case they did not want an ambulance called. In each case I had the ambulance called, the HR staff was well versed and understood that I wanted t…
