It's too early to say for 2011, but so far we are all paying more. The employer absorbs a larger percentage, but the employee's share still goes up (or the deductible does).

[QUOTE=Wendi Watts;720575] With jobs and unemployment as some of the hottest topics of the day, I'm curious to hear what HR people think would help to improve the job market and get more people back in the workforce. [url]http://blogs.hrhero.com/o…

Ditto! ::angryface::

Not to be a cynic Celeste, but anyone who was there and saw the article probably said something like, "Oh yea, I saw him. He didn't impress me much." Hmmm. I am being very negative, huh? I guess I need to hit the chocolate.

We had an employee like that once. No fun. If she is using the system and very savvy, she will start reporting for work once her time runs out. However, you may find (like we did) that when she sees you are serious about enforcing your policies …

Here is a link to an article that may help you: [url]http://www.jacksonlewis.com/legalupdates/article.cfm?aid=2145[/url] I don't have experience with interns, but my understanding is that it must be for the benefit of the intern (not the employer)…

Is there a specific notice? I am not aware of any if there is. We start with asking the employee when we should expect them back. That is on the FMLA paperwork. Then each pay period we send them a pay stub (with or without pay) telling them how …

Frank, I've been trying to figure out how to mime HB, and it's not working. This is the best I can do: :-0 hbtu 0-:

Funded 100% by employer: - Life insurance in amount of 1-1/2 times annual earnings - Paid Time Off (144 to 312 hours per year) and 6 holidays - Flu shots and other minor benefits Funded partially by employer (at least 80%), partially by employee: -…

On #26 I wondered if the person either was really trying NOT to get hired, but need to apply for some reason or if he/she just thought displaying a sense of humor would get him/her noticed and in the door. If it was the 2nd, I think he/she failed. …

It depends on the facts. If I had an employee who was not meeting their job expectations, claimed it was due to a health reason, but then refused to give me documentation I would probably move forward with disciplinary action. I would make it clea…

It depends on the facts as to whether you could be held liable, but it is unlikely. You have tried to help her and have suggested the EAP. You can't control your employees, you can just assist them. Having said that, you can [U]require[/U] her to…

We went to PTO in 1998. At that time it included only sick and vacation, and based on how those leaves were used prior to the change, we only paid out 35% of PTO when employees left the company. A few years ago we changed it to include 2 float hol…

This is not a law, it is a company policy. We do the same here. Legally, exempt employees are basically available 24/7, though no here every really has to come close to working that. Managers have a call list in case of emergency. Most numbers a…

:back to topic: I read today (ok, it was a blog....so sue me!) a discussion on whether or not you would hire this guy after he gets his legal difficulties worked out. What about anyone who applied with you who had left their previous employer in a…

That's a good question Dutch. I am interested in the answer too. We had two employees sharing a job (one worked one week and the other worked the 2nd week). Since they worked half time, the one who worked during the week of the holiday got half h…

I like it, so I might sign up. I just can't help thinking you might cover the material better in a blog format.

A good breakdown of the blog post. I think I am becoming a blog addict and may need help breaking from my addiction. Perhaps I should start a blog about it.

You are right. You have been informed and must start the interactive process. You mentioned that part of his job is interacting with other IT people. Is it really an essential part of his duties? Will it not be accomodated if he can come in at n…
-
Frank and Dutch are correct. If you are trying to keep employees from just calling in and using vacation when they are out of sick leave, I suggest you modify the policy to require all leave be used when on FMLA, but only when on FMLA. That way yo…

Your welcome. Keep in mind that sometimes there isn't a specific item that you can point to, but rather it is a judgement based on weighing a number of factors. I have found a few recent rulings by the DOL to be surprising, and I imagine I am not …

I know you don't want to hear this, but the answer is: it depends. It depends on what decisions. It depends on what your duties have been and how they have been apportioned. It depends. It sounds though, as if your management is taking a proactiv…

I am very sympathetic to this guy, but no one can doubt that he over reacted. It's one of those things where you want to stand up and cheer for someone deciding not to take it anymore, even though you know that they are handling it wrong. Flight a…

LOL. You are right in that he is sometimes hard to follow. I was more interested in his theories regarding swarming, informal work processes and working on the fly. I agree with working on the fly. Things are changing so fast, and it seems to co…

No one chimed in on this so I am reviving the thread. Do you see swarming in our futures?

Well, not on this site. But that doesn't mean it wasn't you on the other site. On this site you [I]occassionally[/I] try to be more professional. ::pb&J::

and you were able to lead us to a site where you called the writer names that you would not use here

...and then he can get on the speaker circuit for the downtrodden about how to stand up for yourself....

Wow! One has to wonder where he got his credibility to be considered a writer in the first place. I loved some of the responses I read. Especially the one by someone called Paul.
