"I think you people should get a grip" Harsh words... My mother always taught me: "Sometimes if you don't have anything nice to say, it's best to just not say anything at all."

I know I'm coming into this a little late, but I saw the movie this weekend with my husband and my parents, and my breath was taken away and my life was forever touched. While I consider myself to be a person of faith and spirituality, admittedly…

I guess I am just confused. It has always been my understanding that the IRS does allow negative elections under Revenue Ruling 98-30; HOWEVER...becuase it does not address federal law/state law preemption, you still must comply with your state w…

I was under the impression that... 1) 401k is voluntary 2) You can not take any money from an employee's check without their signed written consent. So are you saying that the above is not correct???

Just to update on this situation... I called the doctor who is treating this EE and requested a detailed description of his physical limitations and restrictions, stating that "needs sit down job" is too vague. They acted strange, took down my nam…

Just to follow up on this, We (the company) decided to move forward with termination based on the fact that she is no longer able to perform the essential duties of her job or any other jobs we have available. I spoke with her today and we had thi…

Thanks, Don. That is what I was thinking, and that is the direction that we will take. I appreciate your help.
-
I agree 100% with DonD's response. The case manager has no say in the matter. I recently term'd an EE who was on WC (see my recent post "what to do"). I got a call from the case manager today questioning our decision and hinting wrongful termi…

I have done just that. After speaking with the plant, we have determined that she was involved in a car accident in 2002 and is now involved in a personal law suit over that accident. Her FMLA/STD since 2002 has been directly related to injuries …
-
She is a great employee...no problems whatsoever in the 5+ years she's been with us. She's been out a lot over the years on STD/FMLA, but she's never exceeded what time was available to her and has always been able to return to full duty w/o any pr…

Unfortunately, I do not have many details. I received a fax this AM from the plant (I am located at a centralized Corp office and we have several outlying manufacturing facilities located all over the state). The fax was sent to me by the local HR…

ooooh.....them are fightin' words!

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend this conference, but I am a native of Memphis, so if you need some advice on good places to eat/drink/sight-see just give me a holler!!! HRratrace

LindaS, I am dealing with the exact same type of enviornment. Management has been to laxy daisy in the past and now they've created 115 hissy fit throwing children that I struggle with day in and day out. Some days are better than others. If y…

Don, that's the first smile I've had all day. Thanks for the "pooping" analogy.

Long gone, never to return.

I just wanted to thank everyone for the extremely supportive and intelligent responses to my post. I have since pulled myself up by my bootstraps and am taking things one step at a time and one day at a time. Some days I leave feeling like I've mad…
-
Thanks to everyone for being so kind and supportive in your responses. In reading my original post I realize I sound a lot like some of those whiners I'm complaining about having to deal with every day! LOL. Well, I will certainly take everythi…
-
I am at a loss for the most part on this, but this uneasy feeling inside my gut tells me that terminiation is not the answer. Your post states that he/she is a great employee. So without good grounds for dismissal (ie: work related misconduct o…
-
Excellent point! And yet another reason why I think we should leave the decision to use vacation up to each individual EE. The way I see it is like this: Vacation is a benefit. If you only earn 2 weeks of vacation per year and we shut down 2 week…
-
By "force" I mean if they have any vacation time left (up to 40 hours) then the company would automatically pay out that vacation time to cover their days off during the shutdown. I am not only concerned about the legal implications, but as Don D …
-
Exactly the feedback I was looking for. Thank you very much for your help.
-
Having had a great deal of experience in recruiting, staffing and employment law, I personally would prefer that the information be left out. It is too much unnecessary personal information, and I would be fearful of potential legal ramifications f…
-
AMEN SISTER. I agree 110%. Don - I also encourage you to not delete your responses. You can't please everyone, and this is obviously a prime example. I consider your posts and comments to be very valuable and insightful, and to heck with those …

Ya'll crack me up. :0) Thanks for the Friday afternoon giggle...

I didn't see anything degrading at all about what was asked. One must always be prepared to answer difficult and unexpected questions upon entering and participating in this forum. Furthermore, this is a forum for employers and HR professionals, NO…

Our forensic drug testing lab has advised us that in order for someone to test positive for second hand marijuana smoke they'd pretty much have to sit in a locked closet with someone blazing a doo-bee for hours on end. I second Don's notion...seco…

I carry my cell phone with me while at work, and I use it for emergencies only. My employer supports this. What if my child care provider needed to reach me urgently becuase my child was injured? Or what if my husband was in a serious car wreck?…
-
I agree that it is a "do-able" situation, but I also think that you are setting yourself and your company up for a touchy situation...is this a precednet that you are willing to set for anyone and everyone company-wide? You can't just do it for the…
-
Unfortunately, I have found that in a lot of companies HR is the "if all else fails" department. If no one else is willing to do it, it gets conviently passed on to HR. When phones need answered, they call on HR. When events need planning, they …
