I wouldn't think a separate exam should be needed but even if it is, there is no office visit co-pay and after the $100 deductible is met, the charges are paid at 100%. That should not be an issue.

I started this post but the situation is now much worse. The supervisor and I were to meet with the employee and the shop steward at noon today. The shop steward (who said I was a reasonable person and let's just talk about it) suddenly needed to …

Background and references are keep in a confidential file. The way it works here is each employee can (potentially) have a personnel file, a medical file, a confidential file and a worker's comp file. Supervisors and employees typically only see t…

Maybe it was beginner's luck but I received a letter yesterday from Employment Security stating that an employee who was fired for attendance issues will NOT be eligible for unemployment. The employee had been warned, counseled, disciplined and sig…

Zanne, Could you please send me a copy of your form? email [email]dbrockmeyer@ofallon.org[/email] or fax to 618-624-4508. Thanks for your help and the heads up about the cafeteria plan.

Thank you. I thought I had read an article about an employee enlisting, resigning from employment and then wanting to return to employment but I couldn't remember the details. I'll read the law again and try to stay awake through the whole thing t…

I work for city government in Illinois. Without a signed release (or court order) I will only state if the individual is a current employee or not. It sounds mean but I've had two cases in two years (one nasty divorce and one family feud) where so…

If a waiver is no good, does that mean an employee who gets hurt using the company facilities is eligible for worker's compensation? Does it make a difference if the injury occurs during lunch hour or after the employee's regular shift? We were ho…

I use an 8-tab cardstock folder for most of the personnel paperwork. Each tab contains specific information such as Tab 1 is payroll changes, Tab 2 is insurance enrollment and changes, Tab 3 is withholdings and garnishments, Tab 4 is performance no…

Are you able to share the form that you developed? You can contact me at 618/624-4500, extension 1130 or [email]dbrockmeyer@ofallon.org[/email]. Thank you for your reply. Donna

I recently purchased a testing package which can cover spelling, grammar, math, data entry, 10-key skills, typing, Word & Excel software called Tapdance. The version I choose costs about $800 to load on one computer for unlimited use. You can …

One way to do a toy drive, keep it easy and not do it at the Christmas party is to see what help the receiving organization can offer. We do Toys for Tots. We send out a memo and do posters. The donation site is under the holiday tree (holiday tr…

I'm with city government in IL. We allow employees to keep the amount they receive for mileage when serving jury duty. They must bring in the check (or stub) showing have much was paid for what (mileage, service) and then pay us the proper amount.…

We make a conditional offer of employment in writing to the candidate. They must accept in writing within 5 days. With this signed conditional offer and a release authorization then then begin the complete background investigation (depending on th…

I work for a city in Illinois and we use a physical agility test for police officers and EMS personnel. Numerous other cities and counties use it also. It has four components (benchpress, sit ups, 1 mile run & I forgot the last one); is pass/f…

I worked for an HR consulting firm which conducted an Employee Opinion Survey. It was NOT a 360 survey because the questions covered a wide variety of areas (Pay, Benefits, Safety, Top Management, Organizational Climate just to name a few). It onl…

Take a look at the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It requires permission from the applicant for certain background checks (much more than just credit checks). Any fine print on your application could meet the requirement also, but again it's safer to …

I'm confused. Earlier this year I pulled all of the information about the new forms and requirements from the OSHA website. At the end of June, I went to a Personnel Recording Keeping seminar and the presenter stated "Forget all of the OSHA record…

On a related note, we had a 20 year old employee arrested for underage drinking. His court date is coming up soon. As long as he can still drive and obtain a CDL, a conviction should not impact his job. However, at the least, I believe the supevi…

I have played on a web site called [url]www.typingtest.com[/url]. I don't know how valid the measurements are or what they are based on but it gives total typing speed, accuracy % and net typing speed. Check it out. I'm sure they would be willing…

If there has been no guilt or innocence established, don't you have to be careful about moving anyone?

So to suspend an exempt employee it has to be for a week at a time unless it's a major safety violation? Our Personnel Code (which covers non-union exempt and non-union nonexempt personnel) specifically mentions a "three work day suspension without…

I was in your shoes at one time. An employee made threats to his work unit in general and to some specific co-workers. We notified our (unarmed) security force and a couple of strong members of the management team (no specifics, just to please sta…

I don't know of any legal requirements to include this information on the JD unless it's something specific to your state. I personally don't like to do it. It's just one more potential for error and, to anyone outside of your company, doesn't mea…

Me again. I don't have an electronic version of our contract to share but I do have an issue which was a surprise to me. When I started this job about 6 months ago, the EAP had been in place over a year. It has the standard cost per employee per…

We have a generic policy written/approved by our employment lawyer within the last 6 months that I can share. With the new format of the forum, I could probably send it through here some how, but since I haven't learned that trick yet, please email…

If your policy says "failure to notify after X days is a voluntary resignation" and the employee didn't contact anyone for that period of time, how can she claim she didn't resign - she meets the definition. I don't know the legal standing but it se…

I just spoke to the US Dept of Labor yesterday regarding child labor. You must follow at least the FLSA child labor provisions and any more stringent laws your state DOL has. To get the US DOL child labor laws in plain english, go to [url]www.dol.go…

At a company I worked for previously (about the size of your company), we used the following system: We asked specific employees throughout the company (different departments, floors, locations, etc) to contact the HR Director's secretary anytime an…
