  • I am unsure of similar awards, but congratulations!
  • There is no retention schedule in the Act or regulations. How long you retain your WC records is your business decision, but medical awards pursuant to VA Code are for as long as necessary, which could be for the lifetime of the claimant if he/she s…

  • >Also, does an employer have to notify an >employee that their FMLA leave has been >exhausted if the employer has no intentions of >terminating the employee? Yes you should notify them before the time is completely exhausted.
  • I remember this discussion from before. I quoted the VA law letter hoping the editor might chime in, but never did. It said to do the testing BEFORE the offer. (Whatever you decide, make sure they sign a release for the background check.)

  • We ask for it on the application: If you are hired or transferred into a position of operating a vehicle, we will require a copy of your current DMV driving record. Do you authorize the investigation of your DMV record? Yes No Driver's L…

  • I tried calling his mother again and her number is now out of service also!

  • Today I received the letter I mailed and his paycheck back as "Moved Left No Address Unable To Forward Return To Sender". On his personal data form, he put his mother as an emergency contact. I called on 7/6/06 and left her a v-mail. I never hea…

  • Still no word on this PREVIOUS employee. I sent out a certified return receipt letter on the 8th advising him of the handbook policy and stating we consider him to have resigned with his last day being 6/30. I requested he contact me immediately f…

  • We contract with Pembrooke for our drug testing, MVRs, DOT Verifications and background checks. [url]www.pembrooke.com[/url] Pembrooke gets the results of the background checks from Acxiom. (I'm unsure if you can go straight through Acxiom or not…
  • We do not currently have an offical EAP but in speaking with our insurance carrier, they offer 3 free counseling sessions and assist getting our EEs connected with participating providers. It wouldn't hurt to call to see if your carrier offers any …
  • Enough is enough. I wouldn't waste my time with a letter to the spouse. I would let the EE know that I was calling the authorities (from what you said it doesn't sound like he cares). After advising him, I would call the police to inquire about y…
