Exactly! That's why I need help on revising.

When we went through a similiar situation, the purchasing company was going to accept/assume our COBRA obligations. This was part of the sale agreement. I am not 100% sure if under law they have to do this if it is not part of the sales agreement.…

You are right on! Thanks for taking the time to respond. I had to go to our Labor Law firm because I need the info yesterday (isn't that the norm in our line of work) but if not, I could have gotten the very same advice from you for FREE. Thanks.

Thanks, could you point me to where I can get some detail on that.

Pork: The Burn Center -- How unique!! You probably just saved one of our people some real stress and anxiety!!! If our insurance company turns her down (which I think they will), this will give her an alternative to look into. Thank you so much!!…

After tremendous weight loss from successful bypass, there is a hugh amount of excess skin. Is surgery for removal of this skin also covered by most policies and eligible for FMLA?
-
I'm confused. Are you saying that you pay all 12 weeks of FMLA? I thought FMLA was geared toward maintaining insurance coverage and employee was only paid if they had other leave to cover (std, vac, etc.) and they were guaranteed a employment at t…

We had an employee who took FMLA to take care of his sick mother in India. We gave him the standard forms which he had filled out and returned. This worked well until the third year. We noted that his mother became ill at the same time every year…

We are a mfg. facility and went through the incentives phase and it didn't work for us either. What has worked and cut injuries tremendously is training. We had an outside (DuPont) group come in to assist and then went on from there. One source o…

Thanks for the info. It was very obvious from his response that he was extremely knowledgeable but I didn't suspect a lawyer because I understood every thing he wrote. How refreshing, an attorney who knows his stuff and can communicate in language…

Wow! You certainly sound knowledgeable. I checked with our benefit consultants, SHRM, etc. and although the opinions vary, it appears that the majority feel we do need to offer and so that is what we have done for 2004. Thanks to everyone who r…

Have read with great interst the question and everyone's statements. All of this discussion has raised a question in my mind regarding the trained First Response Team in a manufacturing facility. If employer knows that an employee in the plant is …

In Texas the injured employee can receive LTD and WC but they are offsetting. Also, most LTD policies have a waiting period so durning that period (ours is 6 months) the employee receives only WC.

Don, Have pity on someone trying to catch up from vacation and can't take time to scroll -- don't only "business days" count?

We bring in some levels of employees in a "Temp to Regular" employment basis from Employment Agencies. We received a request for FMLA leave from an employee who had only been on our payroll for approx 9 and 3/4 months. I did not think she qualifie…

Uncle Sam's buck took care of the situation. Our STD payments are based on term of employment. When she found out that she would not be on full pay the entire 12 weeks, she withdrew her vacation request and will be using her vacation to supplement…

No STD for the two weeks she is on vacation. STD begins when Dr. certifies she can no longer work, which just happens to be when her two weeks vacation is up.

Auto termination after 12 weeks is very harsh. I know that you said you've only had FMLA designations and paperwork since you came there so maybe you've not had time to experience a situation where you do not want to automatically terminate because…
-
I too remember reading a court decision that gave employee right to work another job while on FMLA leave. Can't remember all circumstances but do recall that if 2nd is outside of normal working hours from job where employer is granting leave -- it'…

Re FMLA - Getting doctor's to fill out the certification form has been a real trial for us. And then there are the doctors that will certify anything, even for months before they saw the patient, or even for persons who are out of the country and t…

>Carrying this situation one step further, can this employee be allowed >to continue on FMLA even though she has used up her 12 weeks? It appears to me that you could give additional leave, but it would not b FMLA leave and would not h…

Awwww, you sounded so disappointed that we were going to run ads in Canada. But you are an true HR professional at heart because you still gave me some place to start. We are incorporating in Canada. The reason is because we want to sell them t…

Dear Scorpio: Actually, as I stated in my initial post, we have been advertising and interviewing for sometime. And although we are willing to spend a few dollars to fill the position with a fully trained individual, we are NOT willing to spend a …

Can a person working in the USA with either an H-1B or a TN-1 apply for a social security?

Don, I totally agree (maybe because I'm lazy) but I am not the last word. I will say that we have been attempting to recruit in the good ole USA. There are some very industry specific & technical requirements so we have been unsuccessful. No…

IRS!! Wow, I never would have thought of them -- glad I asked.

Nope not on our doorstep. We are looking to go across the Rio Grande and hire a Mexican citizen to work for us. We are familiar with the man as he as been a customer for many years.
