  • Not to interrupt the fun, but if I remember right the new law they are trying to pass would work something like the one in Caifornia. There employees paid a tax for a year before the leave part became effective, and their fmla paid time off came ou…
  • Frank: You reminded me of another life where the employer decided to change the sick leave policy. All accrued sick leave beyond a small amount (I think it was 40 or 60 hours) was put into an 'extended sick leave' bank. If anyone was sick more th…
  • Yes, welcome to the forum! We are open to all questions and 'polite' comments. :angel:
  • Have you taken an informal poll to see how employees will feel about this? That should be your first move. Sometimes what sounds great to us backfires big-time. If you decide to move forward, communicate, communicate, communicate. Then leave amp…
  • There is nothing else you can do except CYA. Document everything and move on. If something unfortunate happens, you will have everything you need to make sure you are not the one whose head rolls. Meanwhile, keep your eyes open for another employ…
  • Also, what about work comp issues? If the guy falls and breaks something, especially if it turns into something serious, the entire company could be at risk. This is NOT a good idea.
  • Speaking of, [SIZE="3"][FONT="Impact"]HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHERYL!![/FONT][/SIZE]
  • I think you need to check with your lawyer or tax accountant. First, paying someone an hourly fee through a 1099 can be tricky. Is this person a professional (like lawyers, etc)? Also, when I worked at an insurance company we had physician paymen…
  • Sonny: I assumed the test was probably purchased. They should have done their research before they bought the tests. If the tests are fine, then why throw them out? If not, then why buy them? This may really come down to a good test that produc…
  • If her paperwork, etc, made it clear that her coverage started March 1st then her payment gets applied to March.
  • It sounds suspicious, but I think we need to see the test to know for sure. From what I have read, quite a few people passed the test so they had to take the top 2 scores. If everyone had access to the study materials and those 2 studied the most,…
  • Unless you get a payment postmarked by 5/31 for April and May, I would say she is done. I would give it a few days to make sure nothing got held up in the mail, then I would cancel her for non-payment of premium. I assume these special case COBRAs…
  • When did she pay March?
  • Agree with David. You need to investigate allegations, even if you believe they are probably unfounded. Sue needs to feel that you are protecting her and her privacy. "Somebody" needs to know that they can't just gossip freely without possible rep…
  • That is not the only lawsuit liability. If an employee gets in an accident while texting it won't matter what kind of performer they are. In fact, an employee working more hours might be cause for a higher payout.
  • My son-in-law is a truck driver. My daughter texts him about questions or problems and often on something cute one of the kids did. She also sends him pictures of the kids when they are doing something funny. He keeps in touch without having to s…
  • I know nothing about the Orgegon FLA, but assuming you handle it similarly to regular FMLA I would say that your other letters should have stated a deadline to return the paperwork. Did they? Are deadlines addressed in the Act? If deadlines are n…
  • Nah. She just needs to remember to make sure she has spaces where they belong.

  • I do not use it, but my hubby does. At one time you had to be invited by a current member to join so it was very selective. It is more for a professional use rather than a personal one like facebook or myspace.

  • Everyone who was on the forum at the time of the change came across as a senior member. I guess newer sign ups are assigned a title of junior member. You can change it in your profile to whatever you prefer. You can also give out as much, or as l…
  • Agree with Coffee. I would assign 2.5 points tentatively, and then give the employee a chance to explain. If her reasons for not calling in are sufficient, then back them off. If not, leave them and go forward as you normally would.
  • You brought up something that was nagging me. Why is this employee surprised about the deduction? It should have been explained and agreed to before any vacation was taken.
  • Ah Paul. It is good to see you living up to your member designation.
  • 36 months if divorced.
  • Yes, but this is better than any touchdown...except one that wins you a Super Bowl ring.
  • Yes, and whatever you do don't share the secret with ol' Pantless!
  • [QUOTE=mbliek;716207] I have never heard of a company doing this and wanted to get some advice. [/QUOTE] Most companies do not pay an employee vacation time when it has not been accrued. This is probably why you have never heard of it. However, …
  • Just ignore him. He's lost his pants again and it's made him, as he said, ornery.
  • Sorry to disagree, but it makes perfect sense to me. You might have a few people who will respond strictly for the money's sake, but not many. Those who really need the money are most likely eating very cheaply and thus poorly. The amount involv…
  • 22% of 350,000 is 77,000. That's a lot of reduced spending on health claims. And who knows, perhaps when people observe how well those who stick to the plan do (and get jealous of the rewards) more will be inclined to participate. I have no doubt…
