If it doesn't come back as FMLA eligible, can we force the use of vacation time (employee has used all sick and personal time)?
-
How do you find the court cases? I did a search of "bronchitis" and couldn't find it.

Thanks Linda! I was not aware of the two visits to the dr. She only went once, so she's still "safe". She doesn't want to use FMLA, but is being told that she must and I disagree.
-
The employee did not consider FMLA, especially since the absence was not 3 consecutive days. The paperwork was handed to her and she was told she had 2 days to complete and return it. Thanks for your help though! You confirmed my initial thoughts…

Check your state laws. We allow people to use any kind of time they want, and may force them to use vacation or personal time (1) after the first 6 weeks after the birth or placement of a child, or (2)after the first 2 weeks of of FMLA leave for th…

Can you accommodate her? How would you treat someone with the same restriction who has a back injury for example?
-
Not to mention that you can get any business friend to sign the paper saying that you are looking for full-time work. I agree with all of you: the system is FUBAR.

Thanks Linda! I just found it also.

I'm in the processing of finding proof to post, but in WI, I don't believe you can force ees to use/exhaust PTO when on FMLA. They can opt to, but you can't force. Regarding insurance, we have a response form for ees stating all the issues people …

I'm not sure if even taking naps during breaks and lunch would help the situation. People who have sleep apnea do not get enough deep REM sleep that everyone needs to function because their breathing is labored. I agree that offering naps is not a…

I can understand being tired because of sleep apnea, but it's not like he's narcoleptic. Sleep apnea can also be helped using breathing machines which may be covered by insurance.

On our application it asks, "If you are under age 18, state: your age ____, and whether you can provide a work permit ______." I think you'd be safer stating that your drivers must be at least 18 and then asking if they are at least 18.
-
If you do not use a TPA, they say 14 days. However, this is what I found out from the DOL: The Department of Labor has previously indicated that the employer who is also the plan administrator may take the 30 days plus the 14 days allowed to send o…

Our CFO has done some sort of calculation and we only pay $.35/mile. Employees can claim the difference between that and the IRS rate on their taxes. We also have a company vehicle that employees can use. We have repeatedly asked for an increase,…

Those are MAJOR issues and I don't envy your position! Can you have a supervisors/management meeting that includes the supervisors she is insubordinate to, the owner, and the sons who seem obsessed with her? Perhaps if the two sons (and their pare…

I just registered with E-Verify and took the mandatory tutorial...what a joke! You also have to pass a "mastery test" in order to use the system.

I just found this on the USCIS website. Federal Contractors Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1. As a current or prospective Federal contractor, am I required by the Executive Order or the proposed rule to enroll in E-Verify now? Not at this time…

I received a forwarded email from a colleague, but never got anything from the gov't about this.
-
Great ideas. I'll put it in my handbook update list!
-
We require employees to submit a written request to see their file. They must review it in front of me. I've only had 1 request for this and I'm pretty sure it was to build his resume...he's still here.
-
FDIC auditors have never asked us for employees who did not take 10 consecutive days and we do not require it. We do require 5 consecutive days. I've always been told that 5 days is WI state law, but I'm looking to find the reg that states that.
-
Do you have any state laws about consecutive days off? In WI, employees who earn at least 1 week of vacation must take 5 consecutive days off.
-
I'll email you so we can discuss easier!

We have high school students that work for us in the summer. They sometimes are able to work a few Saturdays during the school year also then return the next summer.
-
I'm not sure what you mean by co-op students. Are these work study students who would only be with you for the semester?
-
I understand that this was a supervisor. All the "evidence" that you have is heresay. He has denied the affair. Tell him the what ifs of what could have happened and create an anti-fraternization policy that works for your organization. Tell him…
-
You'd be disciplining strictly on heresay! I recommend that you create a policy and use it going forward. You didn't do anything with the other employees who ended up getting married.
-
Perhaps you could go as far as to say how the conduct could have affected the employer and him personally. Going forward, I would add a policy to your handbook ASAP and inform the employees.
-
You don't have an anti-fraternization policy so I don't understand how you want to fire him based on a consensual relationship with a now former employee who may or may not at some point in the future bring a claim against you. IMHO, you are over r…
