Really? When I click on New Posts nothing ever comes up. Maybe they fixed it but something is wrong with my set up. Help!

It has been awhile. Are the new posts ever going to start working again?

[QUOTE=Still Need Coffee;724710]I seem to be seeing several "scam" people on the forum lately....what gives?[/QUOTE] I would just like to see them fix the forum so we can click on New Posts before many of our members give up and leave.

I think it is possible Carolyn is showing us how easy it is to get a fake doctor's note off the web. Of course, I could be mistaken....:o

Usually they have some kind of documentation showing they have custodial rights before they can claim grandchildren on their taxes. We require custody papers for FMLA.

Do you have policies on harrassment, hostile environment and other types of discrimination? Do they include steps to resolve, like going to your supervisor or HR? You should have these in place, and if so, he must use the process you have outlined…

You are between a rock and a hard place. First, I believe it is up to the w/c carrier to deny the claim. File it as the employee requests and let them deal with it. Second, I have read of cases where a depressed employee went on vacation, but I …

Can you clarify? Do you mean is it possible to have major depression while on vacation, or do you mean how is the process handled?

Designation of FMLA is done by the employer. It is not up to the employee.

Welcome kspaulding! If the employees are otherwise eligible for Company X benefits and the Company X health plan, then they would get be eligible for that plan. You don't give a lot of information, but it doesn't sound like that is the case. Even…

I think your costs will depend a great deal on where you are located and what the competition in the area is like. I would start with a local organization that does general HR consulting, or a local business chapter you belong to (like SHRM). They…

We used to dress down on Fridays, and now are allowed to wear jeans every day. For some reason, we rarely have had an issue with employees who dress down. All my write-ups concern employees not undestanding the term "business appropriate attire."

I think you are setting yourself up for a lawsuit. This, to me, is like the pregnant employee whose boss decided it wasn't safe for her in her current work environment and moved her. She sued and won. It was not his decision to make regarding wha…
-
It is decided by a court if you get sued. The penalty can be up to $100 per day, but is seldom awarded at that high rate. It depends on your system, why it was overlooked, and more importantly, if it was done intentionally or not. Hope this helps…

Technically speaking, your ability through your payroll system is immaterial. If the law required you do make this deduction you would need to find a way. You do not have an HSA plan so you cannot handle her contributions to it pre-tax. You are n…

You also have to add your company culture into the equation. In some organizations making sure your employees are happy to be there would be a big plus. In others, it is all about confidence and stability (think Google compared to a stock brokerag…

I thought only the max had changed in 2013 (from $5,000 to $2,500). As far as I know, everything else remains the same. Anyone else know of any changes? PS: Welcome jjohnston!

You are correct sonny. We call it comp time here, but we do not pay it at time and a half.
-
Actually, as long as your policies allow it you can give her comp time. It just has to be in the same week. Otherwise you are out of compliance with FSLA.

dchamberlin: I just re-read your post and I think you may be talking about having a document for the premium portion of your health plan (also known as POP). Then you have another document for health reimbursement and dependent care. This is ve…

Section 125 refers to the actual tax code that allows Flexible Spending Arrangements or FSAs. That is why they are used interchangeably. FSA plans can cover health, dependent care, health insurance plans (including dental and vision), as well as p…

Terminating employees is no fun, whether they expect it or not. Our process usually involves a final warning. Then the employee is not surprised when the end comes. In a case like this, we would probably have referred him to mandatory sessions wi…

Sorry, if your plan has over 20 covered, you must be primary. Any attempt to exclude spouses over 65 will be seen as age discrimination. I believe you are stuck. Your best bet is to begin a wellness program ASAP. We have found we save at least $…

Only you can determine how essential it is for your employees to be able to drive. It is essential for the employee to go to these other locations? How much of a hardship is it for another employee to drive this one? (I can't imagine this not bei…

We don't know what the purpose of your Supervisory Committee is, but to get involved in personnel issues they must have a legitimate business reason. So I guess it comes down to who is responsible for the employees involved? Does the issue need to…

If you don't have any paperwork, how do you know the doctor said 2 weeks bedrest? How long was she off work? You may be in a position to require fit for duty paperwork before you can allow her to return to work if she told you or if she was gone 3 …

What cnghr said, but I would also add to act quickly. Don't the a small problem become a huge one just because you don't want to deal with it. I was disappointed to see so many willing to fire immediately without talking to the employee first. I …

In 2004 we brought back a retired employee on a part time basis. The employee worked on a special project one day per week, which essentially lasted 5 years. In the meantime, she would step in and fill the gap in her old position when they were sh…

Depression CAN be a serious health condition. It depends on how serious the depression is. I don't know that regular visits for therapy necessarily count though. Again, it would depend on the circumstances. You may need to have a 3rd party make …

Oh no, bkailiuli! You unknowingly referred to He Who Shall Not Be Named. We try not to bring him up, least, not very often. Anyone who has been here a long time immediately realized what Frank's reaction might have been. Frank, I have to admit …
