Hi - anyone notice the deluge of FMLA questions (coincidence that the new FMLA regulations became effective at the end of last week? I think not!) Good question . . . the answer I have is: When an employee requests FMLA leave, or when the employer a…

Sorry about that - didn't know you were referring to a release/waiver in connection with an exit incentive program (or the like). If the release or waiver is in connection with an exit incentive program or other employment termination program that…

I am aware of no requirement that you provide a laid off employee with ANY information regarding the organizational unit (or any other unit within the organization). As far as I know, that type of information is only required to be handed over durin…

The best advice I can give you (and you most likely won't like it), is to sit tight during any investigation, let it play out. If the complaints are false, then the investigators should come to a reasonable conclusion. The biggest risk here is the r…

You could treat this as inadequate certification and give the employee an opportunity to cure the certification. Tell him what he needs to do for valid certification (e.g., get doctors' signature, get doctor's med information for cert., etc.). If yo…

I don't believe that Georgia has a state rule on this (some state do). From the BLR website . . . . Deductions may be made for absences of a full day or more occasioned by sickness or disability (including industrial accidents) if the deduction is …

What state are you in?

[quote user="Redbudpt"]Have many of you had to update your current FMLA policies due to the new regulations? [/quote] I think the policy impact is more widespread than most people will first believe. DOL makes multiple references in the new regulat…

According to McGuire Woods (a reputable law firm): September 30, 2008 Deadline and Resurveying Obligations The transition period for the new requirements ends with the 2008 EEO-1. Specifically, the EEOC’s Implementation Q&As and the Instructio…

I think you should play the fool and hire some prat.[;)]

Does that involve a platinum filter and emissions?

Hmmm - I have nothad this problem. Maybe it is your computer or the settings you have on the Forum.

NY is different. To be eligible for benefits, a claimant must have: • Worked and been paid wages in at least 2 calendar quarters in his or her base period; • Been paid at least $1,600 in wages in one calendar quarter in the base p…

NJ state unemployment law says that to be eligible for benefits (in 2007), claimants must have earned at least $143 in each of 20 weeks or a total of $7,200 during a 52-week base period. Individuals who do not meet these requirements but who have wo…

Right you are -- discussing pay is a "concerted activity" and cannot be prohibited . . .

I agree - unless the conversation crosses the line to discrimination or harassment, leave it alone. I think it is healthy for co-workers to discuss current events and challenge eachother a little when they differ. It helps them resolve their differe…

DOL has said that the new FMLA provision giving 26 weeks of leave to care for an injured or ill service memeber who is also a member of an employee's family is effective immediately. The 12 weeks of leave for a qualifying exigency" is not effective …

First of all, kudos to you for assuming HR responsibilities on your own. As far as degrees or areas of study, I was a political science major, but really enjoyed the law and working with people. Unlike many professions, there are no specific academi…

Sounds like management might also need a little coaching on the separation of business and religion.

Hi Jimmy: I am not in Florida, but I know BLR is having a big employment conference in your state (Orlando) this week (7th - 9th) Might be a good place for you to meet other HR folks in state. The BLR info on the conference is at http://www.blr.com/…

Our experience is by no means dispositive, but we did a 360 review about 7-8 years ago and in my opinion, it was a disaster. We are a relatively small company and although the spirit of the 360 review was well explained and all reviewees claimed to …

I would ask the direct questioninstead (i.e., Are you at least 16 years of age?), since that is what you really care about, and it is a BFOQ under state law. NYS law also protects individuals against age discrimination if they are 18 or older, so yo…

We also use ADP - very pleased with them. Have no experience with them in the UK or elsewhere outside US.

HR36 - you are right - the answer is in the instruction booklet/employer's guide to the I-9. Laminated documents are not acceptable - probably because they are too easy to alter and cover up alteration.

No small wonder you are confused -- FMLA is tough. There are 2 coverage rules -- one for the employer and one for the employee. For the private employer, they must have 50 or more employees for each working day during each of 20 or more weeks in the…

I think the value of the benefits is considered income, so the federal taxes would include taxes on income, Social Security, and Medicare. These apply if the employee can’t claim the civil union partner as an IRS-eligible dependent.

It may be a regional thing, but we close for the 2 days of Rosh Hashanah (this year) and if Yom Kippur falls during the week, for the first day/night. We pay all employees. There are plenty of non-Jewish employees who benefit and do not celebrate, b…

What's this you are talking about? Is POPCORN now dangerous???

I completely agree with BKate. The question "would you rehire" is completely subjective, and does not contain any specific information regarding the former employee. You should be pretty safe with this one . . .
