I believe this depends on several factors. Is the physcial therapy just FMLA, or is it Work Comp related? Do you normally allow employees to make up missed time? We allow employees to make up missed time whenever possible, so making up time for p…

You might become responsible for any related work comp issues, you might be held liable if the employee was not well enough and causes harm to a third party, AND you set a precedent so you will have to do so in the future no matter how ill the emplo…

FMLA protects the employee, but it also protects the employer. If the employee has plenty of leave, that may seem ok. However, what if events keep cropping up? They might run out of leave and still have 12 weeks available to them through FMLA pro…

It's Paul!!!! You have been so quiet lately I was beginning to wonder if you would ever recover from your storms.

Constant wear of sunglasses indoors might also cause her other problems. Your friend should probably check into it. Accomodation is an interactive process. The employee should discuss the possibilities and objections, along with her suggestions w…

Technically, you are creating a different position. The duties are switched around and the pay is different. I think you are ok, though this person could still force you to explain yourself to a government agency. Sonny is right though. The best…

As long as their religious garb is truly a safety issue, you can deny the request. Safety issues are an exception to religious discrimination. Be very sure though. It is easy to fall into a trap of deciding a group of items aren't safe, when actu…

[QUOTE=joannie;723597]Gee, Nae, I don't know. Distributing corporal punishment to people not complying with your wellness program might just whip them into shape:D[/QUOTE] LOL =D>

Years ago we had cash pools. We don't prohibit them, but there is nobody around to run them and little or no interest. Guess we are a boring lot.

Having friends around the office state their opinion does not necessarily make the company responsible. However, employees are at work to work, not talk. If you allow them to spend too much time on this, you can be expected to let them spend time …

mhaney - Wecome to the forum! The federal government allows your policies to determine if employees are required to take vacation or sick leave while out on FMLA. Unless your state laws forbid it, I recommend that you run any state maternity leave…

A drug test by someone who doesn't not have a business reason to know the results is a privacy violation. You are not over-reacting. Your safety manager is for and concerned with safety. And they should be. You are responsible for and concerned …

I wonder if this employee will have a case for sexual harrassment if they are forced out. As long as they are not disrupting the office, and no one is complaining that anyone is receiving better or worse treatment because of the relationship, I thi…

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just say casual and do away with the darn thing? Wouldn't it be great if we could just wear what we might wear out shopping or running errands? Unfortunately, anyone who has ever viewed peopleofwalmart.com knows you…

It is here. The sun gets highest (taller) in the sky in the summer than it does in the winter.

Our dress code is in our employee manual, so is updated whenever the manual is. We are, however, in the middle of an experiment here. Our President is allowing us to 'dress down' (like we have been doing on Fridays for several years) through the e…

I don't think his time at the restaurant qualifies for FMLA, though the time he spends caring for his wife would. The only way this could qualify, and it would be a serious stretch, is if her doctor stated she was so stressed about no one being at …

Thanks guys! I think my brain needs some chocolate to function correctly today.

Yes, we need more information. Are you saying they had Sunday (Christmas) off, but had to work Monday? We have always considered that whenever the holiday falls, or whenever we observe it, if the employees don't actually get an extra day off they …
-
I feel sorry for the employee. First, he's too stupid to realize his words are offensive and will be seen by the customer. Then he gets fired for being stupid (though I admit, he deserved to be let go). Finally, his stupidity is publicly announce…

..and if it is a case of deciding the employee needs to leave earlier than their stated date, you are on the hook for unemployment. Could we have some details please?

I don't know sonny. This agency belongs to a government so it can't be stand alone. We only have 12 full time employees, we do our own payroll, and have our own 401k plan, but we are owned by another company so we must do FMLA. Our board consists…

If your hourly employees are doing the same work as the contract employee, and the work is similar to their regular work, you cannot treat them as contract employees. In your case drawing blood is very similar to regular nursing work. I am willing…
-
You mean the employer wants to fire instead? Refuse to let the employee go? Actually, I don't see how you can do the second unless the employee is under contract so I will assume the first situation. You are really talking semantics here so I don…
-
It's ok to call someone stupid if they really are stupid and you are not saying it with the intention of being offensive. Perhaps we could have been more politically correct and said she was intelligence or thinking challenged.
-
This assumes the employee did not have an FMLA qualifying event: Yes. You must pay them, but you are not without recourse. Some companies let employees go into a negative leave balance. If you operate this way, the employee's next earned hours w…

You're right Beth. They don't want to admit that they hired someone stupid. ::pb&J::

[QUOTE=joannie;723466]Nae, you talking about me or the article?:-/[/QUOTE] I would NEVER say my forumite bestie was stupid. I was talking about the employee who was too stupid to realize what she was typing would be seen by others, or that it woul…

Can you say, "S-T-U-P-I-D?"

Holly makes excellent points. If you have concerns about abuse, I strongly recommend talking to the instructor. Often they have no idea that trainees must be paid for this kind of assignment. Conversely, they may be able to explain to you the bene…
