What are the specialties of a "Business Lawyer?" I have a very close friend that is a member of the bar and I've never heard him use the term.

You will probably get a wide variety of answers to this one. I personally don't think that a supervisor / manager has any need for keeping such notes. Once they have the documentation necessary to record an absence appropriately, we insist that al…

Well stated!!!!!!!!! And that is one way that HR gets a bad rap, getting blamed for bone-headed management decisions.

Whatever your policy is on keeping terminated EE's files. We file the TPA Cobra paperwork in the medical portion of the file and it stays thre until the file is destroyed.

If you really want to do something nice, advise him to check into the military insurance for him and his family. Much cheaper and in most instances better coverage than most ER's plans. He could then drop the Cobra, have more disposable income for…

1 Yr - 1 week 2 Yr - 2 weeks 5 Yr - 3 weeks 9 Yr - 4 weeks 14 Yrs - 5 weeks Plus, with perfect attendance our EEs can earn 3 hours a month additional vacation.

I agree, what exactly are you paying this "expert" for if they can't stay up with laws and regulations? I too would find a new one pronto. The notification is called "Global Notification Rights" and should be administered as Geno outlined. Your i…

That's just about where we are. Adding in our retirement and disability and a couple little "off the wall" perks, we have been calculating 25%. Thanks for the reply and I hope others will join in.

What I meant by non-mandatory was company offered benefits excluding SS, Medicare, Fed and State unemp and Worker's Comp. I guess it would have been easier to say, what % do you calculate for Paid Leave, Holidays, Retirement and all Insurance inclu…

Paul, I think you need to do a little more "shopping" for insurance. While I do understand that the RX factor is major in pricing, your reimbursement plan I feel would lead to some very disgruntled EEs. Some maintenance drugs can be as much as $20…

We do not allow anyone but HR to receive ANY medical information. If an EE submits a DR excuse, a RTW authorization, they present it to HR and then the supervisor/manager is notified that a note has been received. It is absolutely none of the supe…

The last Cobra Alert Reference Manual I have dated 02/20/2003 states: Gross Misconduct - 1. Applies to involuntary termination only 2. No clear federal definition 3. Decided in court on a case by case basis That is the same terminology I hav…

13 weeks @ 50% Your company is extremely generous. Over 2 years @ 70%. If your EEs are as ingenious as ours, co-worker Sally Jane's uncle is a physician and he will be glad to fill out disability papers for you. Bingo!! 2 yrs. of FREE pay. Th…

I'm no financial guru but what advantages or concessions would you make in the 2nd plan that would entice your lower paid EEs to participate? If they can't or won't contribute to Plan A, I can't imagine they would be able to contribute to Plan B.

Ditto to designation at enrollment. However, for changes of allocation or percentages etc. once enrolled, the EE must do them on-line or by phone.

Front her the cash to get the divorce. (You asked for creative solutions!!!) Seriously, depending on your plan description, unless you have a qualifying event such as the husband getting his own, a legal divorce.... the only viable thing I could s…
-
If my memory serves me correctly, a 401(a) is for the public sector. Participation is mandatory when an EE becomes eligible under the plan guidelines but there are generally different tiers of participation by the EE and that is matched by differen…

You may provide "summary" information without violating Hipaa regulations. That might include a composite report of claims either by average dollar amount or frequency average of your enrollees. Your post indicates that you are dealing with your c…

Depending on how many EEs you have, it appears on the surface that your company would have been much better served picking up the 22% increase than being at risk for the $1,000 or $2,000 possible deductible payment per EE. I'm no accountant but my …

We've also brainstormed about including a bib with the >company logo on it or something like that. > With as much "babysitting" that sometimes goes on, maybe not a bad idea for not only expectant mothers, but the total workforce!!

It would appear to me that most if not all of your questions should be answered in your policies concerning your EIB. If you have out-sourced this or using a TPA, they might be able to give you guidance. Without having that informaion, I don't be…

Is it just my screen or does the post look like an old Western Union Telegram? .....stop..........stop.......stop
