What's wrong with Denmark? How many Danes have died from terrorist attacks in the last 10 years? Maybe we could learn something from Denmark. It's good to keep an open mind.

Those reforms were already addressed by the Hart-Rudman Commission, which came out in February, 2001 and subsequently ignored until 9/11. Even then, the Bush administration only looked at reforms that were politically expedient, such as creating th…

I like Forum Folks, or Forum Fanatics. LEHRSH sounds like an evil organization out of James Bond.

Being from the Philly area, Sally Starr of course, but only because she used to show The Three Stooges.

This is an interesting subject, and you could subtitle it: "The Hazardous Duty of HR." The problem, as others have outlined so vividly, is that we in HR tend to see all the "messes" that companies can get into, and we are usually the ones who are c…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-14-02 AT 08:01AM (CST)[/font][p]IF?!?! What do you mean "if" we're marooned? I can't speak for others, but I'm as marooned as one can be...minus the beach, of course. I'm the guy who is constantly …

Gillian, you are so right. I have two favorites. The first one always comes up when we have just fired someone for cause. Myth 1): Will/can the company "block" the payment of unemployment compensation? Fact: My standard answer is to say that th…

Thanks very much for the responses. Boy, there's nothing like reading the Federal Register, is there? Kind of like a Tom Clancy novel....keeps you on the edge of your seat. As I understand 541.707, the "occasional tasks" they refer to are in the …

Thanks Hatchet, you've been WAY more than helpful. PA mrrors the Feds, so the State isn't an issue.
-
Hatchet, what is the number of the Advisory Opinion you cited?
-
Great questions. I'll try to answer them as best I can, although the DOL opinion you cited seems to be the ticket. - The bonus is paid for carrying the beeper on off duty hours to deal with clients who may be in crisis. So, yes, we are paying t…

Thank you sir, may I have another?

Only if reimbursable, but he wouldn't get a case to evaluate unless it was pre-approved for reimbursement.
-
He is the only person on staff who does this kind of work. The other folks who generate evals of this type are all contractors.
-
By the way, you're not stupid and there's no such thing as a stupid question.
-
If you want to test his true status, I would look at his duties rather than salary. He's being paid 25K for the job...that's about $480.77 a week no matter how many hours it takes....WAY above minimum.

Is your husband exempt or non-exempt? You never made that clear. It's common for companys that offer PTO to part-time employees to calculate the PTO at a reduced rate. And Don is correct: you can not reasonably expect the company handbook to cove…

If the EE in question is non-exempt and eligible for overtime, then your practice is grossly illegal.
-
You could also try the Ohio Department of Labor, which may have the data you need. I'm sure that they have a website. Good luck.

You need to check your State law. In some states vacation that is "earned" or accrued is seen as deferred compensation and payable upon termination no mater what the cause, or how much notice was given. However, assuming that your policy is lawful…

Great question. I would agree to the request simply because it's good customer relations. As to the ADA requirements, I'm less sure. It's not like this person does not have access to your information...I'm assuming that he/she can read...would th…

Just keep walking by the open windows.

Yup, you guys are correct. I just checked the FMLA regs and there it was. Thank you all.
-
Dang, I hadn't considered shift differential...thanks DJ. Fortunately for me, it just so happens that the returning EE would end up making MORE money because of shift differential. Would that change your stance on this?
-
Su...su...supervisors can be personally liable?!?! Gulp! Well, that's a horse of a different color! That "letter of last chance" is looking better and better. Thank you.
-
Thank you all for your responses. The problem with making exceptions to any policy and/or the law is that you may then be expected to make exceptions for EVERY employee. In my case, I have received further information and it seems that the EE in q…
-
Thank you kindly, one and all. Hatchetman, I especially appreciate the regs you cited. Thanks again to everyone.
-
For the purposes of this question, just assume that that we would. And as a matter of fact, if the EE asked for 12 weeks it would not shock me if the CEO granted it. He is one of those rare CEO's who is genuinely concerned with the well-being of t…
