As they say, "been there done that". I have found it best to go ahead and turn in every event at the time I first learn of it. I make sure to explain to the WC carrier that this may not be work related but thought it best to go ahead and let them …

I too agree with Linda. I would hate to open up that box....

Who says HR is dull? ya just never can tell what the next question will be... At some point through this process, does the father of the baby, not the husband, have to prove that he is in fact the father, before he he would be given up to 12 wee…

the ole "You've got mail" method of term...

I agree with Marc, why would you not want to run them concurrently? Same here, we do not give the ee the option, we run them together. If they are off for a few weeks due to child birth, and you do not count this as FMLA, the ee will still have th…

All good advice. And then.... we have an ee that claims to be alergic to all sorts of stuff. Every quarter, or how ever often, the local bug sprayer would come out and spray their building she would have all sorts of symptons for days. We changed…

We have the same philosophy as NaeNae55. They are going to use the vacation sometime during the year and if you allow them to carry it that is just that much more time off during the year.

"She has been bringing in her dog on and off a while." If you have a no pets policy then how/why was this ever allowed to begin? Did the ee claim that her pet was a service animal from the beginning? Tell the ee that they must prove the animal is…

The TTY telephone is the best option, however, does the HI ee have access to send emails from home to his supervisor at work as a possible accomodation? As the bumper sticker says, sometimes stuff happens, but the ee needs a way to be able to conta…

We had a similar request from an ee and after talking with her it was suggested that she try an inexpensive (compared to a new chair)lumbar support that was fitted to her present chair. So far so good. Good luck, Dutch2

Popeye, how many "adult cold beverages" did you have? Isn't 360 degrees right back where you started from? However there is a bit of wisdom in staying on the good side of any judge that you happen to meet. Unless the judge is orange and sports a …

When an employee is informed that they are being "laid off" due to slow business, etc. this allows them to presume (rightly or wrongly) that they will be brought back on board when the economy picks up. Therefore, I would suspect that this former …

me too... this happens a few times every year. Just send in your response/protest and go back to business.

Amen to what Joannie said... Tie this in with your At-Will statement. Ours is something like: This at-will relationship cannot be modified or changed during your employment except by specific written agreement between you and the Company, signed …

I ran across the following in another HR site: INTERNS "A six-factor DOL test can be used to determine if an intern must be paid. For an intern to be unpaid, all of the following factors must be present: 1. The training is similar to training t…

Yep... what Irie said. Just take their weekly salary and get a daily rate and then pay them for the days worked. Here in central Missouri it was up to +8 degrees at 1:00 when I returned from lunch. The local weather prognosticators are saying back…

Afraid I have to side along the lines of ole pantless Frank. Not sure if it would be aiding and abetting or not, but we want to stay on the good side of the local police. Maybe 'cause we are both with financial institutions. We want the local pol…

We do have an automatic enrollment clause in our plan; however, I have never had to use it. I prepare the enrollment packet and basically stay in contact with the ee(s) via email and/or phone until I receive their completed enrollment form. We are…

You are correct in not giving fund advice. If you recommend a fund(s) and the bottom falls out, the ee could hold the employer liable for giving them bad advice. I have printed out the prospectus of the funds with a chart of how the funds have do…

I agree with sonny & ritaanz. My first reaction would be to not hold the meeting. Based on your brief account of the matter, it appears to be a clean termination. I would make sure that anyone who was involved in the two times the ee was talk…

Not just WC but also find out if they have liability insurance to cover any thing that may be caused by their employees. According to our insurance provider if they do not provide this coverage, their employee will fall under our responsibility if …

When we set our salary budgets for 2009, in October, we will instructed to use our usual 3% increase. Last evening at a mandatory employee meeting our President/CEO covered how the ecomony has effected our business in 08 and predicted what may happ…

We have done this a couple of times. Most recently our CFO of many years announced he was ready to retire. We went ahead and treminated his employement and brought him back under a contract agreement as a consultant until the new CFO was up to spe…

We do/did 'bout the same as Mentel... we have quarterly meetings for each division and attendance is mandatory. We pay for the time and provide dinner, catered by a local restaurant or get pizza, etc.. CEO addresses each group and then each Divis…

Amen to what Sunny said. You really need to make certain that you stay within the law when dealing with a possible union organization. There are so many things you can't do. Good luck...

If allowed in your state, go to mandatory direct deposit on all paychecks. Then all you have remaining is a check stub.

We sort-of had the same thing a few years back. Our employees nominate an employee of the month. One month several people recommended a very likeable and friendly employee for this position. However, they were a very poor worker. At that time we…

I agree with 2445428... “you didn't even consider me because my photo showed that I am _____________ (fill in the blank). In my former life we discovered a new photo lab (of all places) was taking pictures of every applicant and placing it with …

We are a very conservative bank and our dress code concering these matters is very similar: "Dress, appearance and personal grooming/hygiene should not be offensive to customers or other employees. Freshly scrubbed wins out over heavily fragranced…

There is also the point to consider that most cell phones have the ability to take photos. Are these ee's around any confidential information, etc. that the information could be transmitted via a picture sent via cell phone. We have a policy about…
