  • I don't remember all the details either. Maybe we should start a new band. I'll play the kazoo.
  • I don't mind the occasional contest, but if it was ongoing and company wide I might have a problem with it. I have seen departments get involved on a temporary basis (a special contest that lasts a few weeks) and it has done wonders for moral and t…
  • It appears as though their duties are different. Do they have different titles and/or job descriptions? They should, and if so, you can base your policy on job positions. Then if you inside sales staff become outside sales staff they will know th…
  • Prairie: I'm curious. Who does this employee call when they are not coming in? Usually it is the supervisor. Isn't the employee telling the supervisor (or whomever) at the time of calling in that it is FMLA? Shouldn't that person be involved in…
  • Those who work in the industry by helping employers find good hires and help the unemployed find good jobs should be paid for their service. If that includes posting jobs, that's ok too. However, in general I believe any job opening should be post…
  • Marla - I disagree too. Hospitals are often understaffed. You really need someone there to sort of make sure everything is coordinated, that every worker knows where the patient is at progress-wise (not everything gets in the notes), and to be ale…
  • :welcome: Do you fall under the WARN Act? If not, I am unaware of any set rule on this. When we have made restructuring decisions we did not give severance to anyone who made the choice to leave the organization (or who left early.) For anyone wh…
  • You are right Dutch. You don't have to let them work out their notice, and you don't have to pay them that time even if you decide to have them leave immediately (though as you stated, there might be unemployment repercussions). My problem is with…
  • If she continues to represent Google while at the convention she is doing her job and Google should pay to bring her home. She has a right to go work somewhere else when she gets home, and giving Google plenty of notice is the right thing to do. I…
  • Unfortunately, professionalism is not legislated. Clearly someone with authority is not playing nice. First, if it was me I would try to contact someone else in the company who has authority. Just because my supervisor is playing nasty doesn't me…
  • Oops! Missed one.
  • Can he continue on light duty? You didn't mention working with him through the interactive ADA process, but I assume you are doing so based on your information. It sounds like you have all your bases covered (unless I assumed wrong on the ADA inte…
  • I agree with Irie. You need the paperwork to count leave as FMLA, even if the employee has returned to work by the time you recieve it. Otherwise the absence counts against them. The paperwork is better if it is on an approved form (to make sure …
  • [QUOTE=tkessler;721391] Another almost-unbelievable coincidence: Nae is one of the speakers. tk[/QUOTE] Hmm. I'm weirded out. I sometimes speak to HR professionals about how to read a financial statement and tie it to HR duties and HR metrics, bu…
  • Dang! I was going to be a smart alec and post JB's last tour stop. Unfortunately, I couldn't really find it. How humiliating! I found one for February 4th. Does it count?
  • Did you tell him at the time that he wasn't cutting it? Has anything changed since he worked the position (ie change in his health status or abilities?) If you told him he why he was moving to another job and nothing has changed, you can move forw…
  • I'm confused (not unusual). Daycare and fever sound like usual childhood illnesses to me which would not qualify as a serious illness under FMLA. As you are talking intermittant FMLA, are you saying the child has been certified to have an illness …
  • It's just that those MLS people are marketing pros. They never miss an opportunity to point out that they sell just the thing we need. Of course, since the forum is free we [I]appreciate[/I] all thier offers.
  • [QUOTE=Paul in Cannon Beach;721371]Dutch, those blue vests are flattering, aren't they?[/QUOTE] They are, aren't they? They bring out the blue in the worker's vein..er...I mean eyes.
  • I would love to sing Christmas songs in a choir. Unfortunately, no one (even me) appreciates my voice. I do love all the holiday music though. When my husband and I were first married and he found out how much I liked Christmas music he got a ve…
  • Frank! You are being contentious. Put your pants back on and go sit in the corner.
  • Ok, I have definitely hit a time of my life with senior moments. I loved the ROFL...CGU one so much I used it this weekend. Only trouble was I started with LMAO instead of ROFL. Oh well.

  • [QUOTE=ACU Frank;721331]Your posts aren't too long, Nae... They just feel that way. hahahahahahahaha[/QUOTE] Hey! I resemble that remark!
  • Your PTO time is not unreasonable. We have a similar structure. It is usually based on what your industry standards are, so you will have to be the judge of whether it is fair or not. Letting employees use PTO time early when they may be planning…
  • You call this lengthy? It looks short compared to some of mine. Is your upfront PTO based on the prior year's work? If not, what do you do when someone terms? I think it would be very fair to let employees know they may schedule time off, but th…
  • That's a good question. I don't think the DOL requires a supervisor's time sheet approval, but you certainly should. If you get audited or sued, you may need proof that the supervisor signed off on it. I would require electronic approval by both …
  • Poor Paul! I know several people who have several fb accounts. They just modify their names. I just have one account, but since I use it for both professional and personal connections, I am usually pretty careful about what I post (I am more free…
  • A couple of points: first, no matter how much evidence is stacked up against this employee, you cannot make statements that implies his guilt until he is convicted. I would stay away from his personal situation to keep your organization out of tro…
  • If she was on our premises (even the parking lot) and on company time it would be work comp in this state. Part of your problem is that every state has its own laws. I would report it to my carrier and let them decide whether it is covered or not.…
  • Thats the game we play, but I have never heard it called Dirty Santa before. We consider it a modified White Elephant (modified because the gifts are new).
