  • It seems that this supervisor feels somehow "above" being a teller or scheduling herself as part of the line staff. Somehow I have become their go-to person to figure out how to fix the problem even though she's been told repeatedly to think outsid…
  • This employee has 18 vacation days and 3 personal days. Don't come crying to me because you don't have "enough" time to spend at your house in Florida. I've just about hit my breaking point with the department also because they just don't think ou…
  • The child must be incapable of self care.
  • Good one Frank! Make sure to check your state laws also. WI would require all travel and wait time to be paid.
  • I would also make sure that any other employees who are now not meeting the hours requirements are also terminated from your plan. You have to treat them the same.
  • Didn't they "promise" answers?! Like what is the light? Why are people brought to the island? What's with the polar bear? How is is that the light turned Flocke/Smocke/He Who Shall Remain Nameless into what he became and left Jack unscathed? Ho…
  • On another note, did they ever say Jacob's brother's name? I was hoping to learn it last night...
  • That is quite a generous policy! 30 days per year?! Our exempt and non-exempt full-time people earn 5 sick days per year accrued at a rate of 1.25 days per quarter. Time can be used before it's earned. Time is forfeited when someone terminates o…
  • I like that a lot better...and it makes sense (as much as Lost made sense). Christian's response to Jack's question about him and the others being dead, "Some before you, some long after," made me think that some had lived long lives, and leaving …
  • I would certify and count this as intermittent FMLA. Is there any reason that someone couldn't be trained in the one duty there is no backup for?
  • It is a single bathroom with a lock, not a "public" women's restroom with a stall. A very large "one-holer" if you will. If there is someone in there with the door locked, no one else can get in.
  • This may be covered under FMLA. I sent you a private message with some policy excerpts.
  • "Hey you guys?!" Sloth from Goonies. It's not really usable, but it's classic: "I carried a watermelon." Quickly followed by, "I carred a watermelon?!" Baby- Dirty Dancing. The quote from Blagojevich is hilarious. I'd say unbelievable...but it …
  • Check your state laws. In WI, people can use any paid time available during their state leave. After that, they have to abide by whatever the policy says.
  • White Castle Wellness Program is an oxymoron. I agree with everything that has been said...but I still find myself sucked into the show! Which I quickly followed with the Marriage Ref. Anyone catch that one?!
  • I'm in charge of replacing toilet paper, paper towel, soap, etc. Somehow I'm also expected to empty the dishwasher (after at least 20 people have seen that they're clean). HR (AKA, me) is also responsible for ordering all the snacks in the breakro…
  • Talk to the employee. My guess is that the check has already been cashed ("I didn't know it was a mistake!"). I'd explain the error to the employee and have the document all drafted with a payment plan, all ready for their signature.
  • From the DOL website ([url]http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/esa/Title_29/Part_825/29CFR825.203.htm[/url]). The last sentence may help you! You may also need to check your state regs. 29 CFR 825.203 - Scheduling of intermittent or reduced scheduled l…
  • Thanks! I just kept clicking on my name and didn't get to that same screen.
  • Where do you enter your birth date? I looked in my profile and didn't see it. I always like birthday wishes
  • Do you have a backup? I would complete the paperwork, explain the rules to the person who will be doing your work while you're gone, and have them approve the leave. CYA.
  • Would her term date go retro to 4/1 since she only paid for 1 month? With ARRA it gets even hairier because they had to elect retro to 3/1 to get the subsidy and then had 45 days from the date of election to make payment (which is why the March pay…
  • If we count the payment she made in April (technically for April), she's made one payment total. It could be considered March's payment.
  • Sharon, that's definitely something I'd get on board with! There are healthy ways to deal with stress, but most of them require more "work" than lighting up, pouring a drink, or opening a bag of Doritos. Exercise is an excellent stress reliever, …
  • Here's my new favorite saying: Don't be an idiot. You can apply this to nearly everything in life. Everything is a choice. Don't eat crap, smoke, not exercise, drink heavily, etc. and expect your insurance and/or the government to pay for it! Yo…
  • If it's a planned absence, I would draft the deduction agreement and have the employee sign it prior to the leave. If it is not planned, do the same as soon as you know that there will not be enough money to cover the deduction. We address this in…
  • In all the things I've read and seminars I've been to, I have not heard even a whisper of this. Where did you hear it?
  • Some of those are so true! Love it!
  • I found this at [url]http://www.ada.gov/archive/mythfact.htm[/url]. MYTH: The ADA protects people who are overweight. FACT: Just being overweight is not enough. Modifications in policies only must be made if they are reasonable and do not fundamen…
  • That is also my understanding.
