My brother was in a bar in California when a guy struck up a conversation about this n that. After a while, the guy bet my brother that he had the most original tattoo that my brother would ever see. Well, my brother is beyond odd, and so are his fr…

I love it!! Great way to start the day!

Every hour you don't smoke is another hour that your lungs have a chance to heal! I hate to be a downer, but my mom smoked from the age of 18 until 4 months ago. (She's 63) The reason she quit? Small-cell lung cancer. Mainly smokers get it, and it'…

Bravo Don!

From the web- "From what I've read and heard about the song over the years, the lyrics don't really mean anything. The song was meant to be a private joke between Harris and Jimmy Webb. There was some sort of weird wager between the two that Jimm…

I remember as a child sitting in the back seat groaning about my mom putting NPR on. Ugh, how boring, I want to listen to Phil Collins! Well, now I listen to NPR every day on my way to and from work. I love it because I get my news without sitting …

Here where I live, we have Slap Out and Opp Alabama. Just tailor made for the show Cops.... (The names, not the actual people in the town!) Nrdgrrl

I like the odd ones: Johnny Depp Brendan Fraser Patrick Stewart (older, but yummy!) James Marsters Ned Flanders from the Simpsons

My favorite (from a while ago) was when one of my associates couldn't come in on Monday because she had spent all day Sunday walking around Six Flags and now her feet hurt! Arg!

Would men be allowed to have their ears pierced? Does it matter how many earrings an ee wears in their ear? I've seen up to 10 in one lobe- not exactly professional.

6 months for eligibility at my company.

With us, you get two days if you work 20+ hours per week. However, the 2 days are valued at what you would normally work in a day. So if you normally work 4 hours per day, you get 2 days worth 4 hours.

For any associate that is RIF'd or quits on their own, we take them back and it's as if they never left IF the break is less than 365 days. NrdGrrl

Why is the ee under a developmental plan? Could it be that the current job is not a fit, but the new one is? Or maybe the ee and current manager have personality issues that have contributed to poor work? I usually would say the same as the manage…

What exactly is an Adoption Assistance policy? Is it $, paid time off during FML?

From IRS.gov, the offical IRS website: [url]http://www.irs.gov/faqs/page/0,,id=83301,00.html#3[/url] Change in Status Elections Question: What additional information is available on this issue? Answer: Treasury Regulation 1.125-4 contains the pro…

We do. If you are under age 65, you may continue your medical coverage. The cost will depend on your years of service. 0 to 10 years of service- COBRA for 18 months 10+ years of service- Continue with the same cost sharing until age 65. At 65- P…

My company actually uses an outside company to administer STD benefits. It's so tough to get, there is pretty much no way you could get it and work at the same time. They have doctors who look over everything before granting the STD....

I don't know if this will help, but just to let you know... My child goes to a Montessori school (days) with around 150 other children. They do not allow peanuts at all because one child, in a different building, has the allergy.

President Bush signed the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (TRIA) into law on Tuesday, November 26, 2002. The act requires that specific actions be taken by insurance carriers in order to comply with the terms of the new Act. On February 19, …

Additionally, that means she would have an "extra" FMLA day since that one wasn't counted. While one day is no big deal, think long term. I take 12 weeks for my baby, but don't want to count 2 of them and use my vacation grant instead. You would e…

FML and pay are two separate things. FML protects their job, your policies dictate their pay. So if you have a policy that says you have to physically work, then no, they wouldn't be paid. However, were they able to use sick time the first day of th…
-
I agree with HRQ. Find out what the "write up" is for. If you document absences for all ee's you should do the same with her, BUT you would take no disciplinary action or even talk to her about it. Of course you must document how many days of FML s…

He can take up to 12 weeks of time to bond with his baby and take care of the mother of his child while she is medically disabled. How you pay or don't pay him is up to your organizational policies. We run them at the same time and if they are out o…

We give them a date, rather then saying within 15 days. I add a couple of days for mail time. So if I sent a letter today, it would read that they must return certification by November 21st. Nrdgrrl

I wouldn't even wait until she is out 3 days. That is only one of the criteria that would apply to medical need for FML. The very next time she is out, give her the FML paperwork but make sure she understands that it is not in force until completed…

Well written Don D! That is exactly why we do it, because the position must remain available when they return, and that's difficult if they are gone longer than 12 weeks. (Heck, it's hard to do for just the 12 weeks!) NrdGrrl

From reading the regs, I believe you have to tell them both within two days of knowing that they might qualify for leave. Here is the applicable section: (i) that the leave will be counted against the employee's annual FMLA leave entitlement (see…

1. If this qualified for leave, you would have to give this person the leave as it was requested prior to the ad being placed. However, she doesn't meet the minimum. Also, do you have any other types of leave? 2. I would hate to have to defend the …

It is not a law that the employer must require it. However, it is certainly to your benefit if you do, especially if you have someone with a serious health condition that can't be seen- ie mental illness. As always though, if you require one to do i…
