  • LADYSUZEESE: You can call but HIPPA has begun to cut us off at the knees as to what information the phyician's office will let the employer have. I have to contact my insurance carrier and have them provide us with medical information. Additional…
  • MY CARRIER ALLOWS ME 5 DAYS AND HAS ALLOWED me more than that if one just slipped by and we in HR just found out a W/C situation happened when the doctor billed the ee and he gets concerned and calls to find out why!!!DUUUU. We have a termination c…
  • The injury resulting from a fall in the work place would most likely be covered. I would discuss that aspect with my carrier and take their lead! Yes and thus my remark of stress certified by ee's physician. Once the ee's physician has made the d…
  • JM in ATL: Why would becoming ill at work have anything to do with worker's Comp? Was there a hazardous air quality issue or chemical or stress designated by the physician as the direct cause of her illness? Without FMLA and company direct supp…
  • Balloonman: even you know that "CONTROL OF THE MEETING" is the number #1 facet of the meeting. Now, unless this is one of my employees or I am the "King Boar" on the lot because I have been the designated Investigator with authority to take appropr…
  • As I wrote in my last posting. It is great to see all of this research. I believe we are quoting from the same information which is factual. My personal experience and direct dealings with the wage and hour auditors with the after the fact disper…

  • SUNNY: MAYBE YOU SHOULD ALSO GET YOUR PERSONAL COPY OF THE RULES AND REGULATIONS, SO NICELY PROVIDED BY OUR FED WAGE AND HOUR FOLKS. HOWEVER, MAYBE YOUR UNION HAS GOT THE WAGE AND HOUR FOLKS UNDER THEIR THUMBS. My words are taken from pages 4-5 &a…

  • In my history, there should not be an executive plan and an "other's plan". Sick employees are sick employees regardless of their rank in a company. Alcoholics are all in the same boat, it just maybe levels of difference, but their addiction is th…
  • JENHALL:You were more than fair to the girl-friend and the ee. Glad to read that you have confronted the players and I'm sure, God willing there are better days ahead, you and your personal needs included. May you and yours have a blessed day, wee…
  • JENHALL: Ok, it is time to take the "boar by the ear" and get this issue cleared up. It is time to write and tell this X-employee she is no longer welcome on company property! Once spoken and once provided in written format it is legal to cal…
  • JUDY MATT: I highly recommend you get away from the wage increase being tied to an evaluation period. For the last twenty (20) years I have been installing what I and others chose to call a "pay for performance system"; I brief every new employ…

  • NO, BUT THEN YOU ARE IN CA. PORK
  • Elizabeth: With this post, now I can change my response, we have a page for each of those or at least an identifying section ARTICLE 8 BEREVEMENT LEAVE type heading with an easy to find INDEX. I suspect this was written by an "ATTORNEY DAWG" WHO HA…
  • NJJEL: In my world, I handle it by making sure those with a need to know are made aware of the situation, as you have with us. I would then provide my words of advice on the history of this issue in our company. If asked, for my advice, guidance, …
  • NIJEL: It is certainly in our business world the most important credential established. With it comes fiduciary connections provided to few other professional like doctors and lawyers "passing the bar" and given levels of difficulty to even be mor…
  • PRECEDENCE, PRECEDENTS, PRECEDANCE: In life as a Retail HR we set in motion a career progression to the level of CFO, Treasurer, Comptroller, Vice President of Finance, vice President of Accounting, Assistant Controller and Assistant Finance. One …
  • Dasher: Wal-Mart and Sam's, Kroger, Food Max are the large food chain retailers. I have just ordered a Honey White 12 lb. turkey for all employees for Thanksgiving at 89 cents a lb. Our processor is in North Carolina. Bryan Foods is our primary …
  • YEP: IT IS A BLESSED DAY FOR A NEW GRADUATE IN THE ANIMAL SCIENCE WORLD TO BECOME A MANAGER-IN-TRAINING IN OUR COMPANY. God put the animal on earth to populate the earth for man to: name, to use for God's glory, and to provide food for man to popu…
  • TO ALL: A degree at the undergraduate level is important outside of the professional (medical and legal) to give orientation of one's education toward a particular vocation. It also demonstrates a very important personal characteristic of "sticktu…
  • "Dandy Don": Just so happens I too learned late in life that education is more beneficial when the work for research and reading and study is done on one's own interest. I thought that Nicole was a regular HR person and a neophite at the computer l…

  • DEEZ: Don't be so bold!!! This forum is study, and we have all learned alot on this forum. I, too, recognize that a student gets out of life, work, and education what one puts in to the effort. A better way of responding would be to educate the p…

  • WHATEVER: You are so right. We had a young man who was loved by everyone, he began to have medical problems and he kept fighting it and working with him on W/C and then FMLA and his physician finally after about a 18 month period of time diagnosted …
  • DEEZ: My thoughts, you could seek a 2nd opinion on the physical qualifications of this ee, which would allow you make rational accomodations for this individual's long term health and safety. If you treat the ee as disabled then the ee is an ADA c…
  • TRUE, TRUE, AND TRUE I am a disabled American Veteran and I do not require any major accomodation, but I do require a level of concern for my health that I would not or may not know even be aware, when my medications are peeking out. I have told …
  • SMACE: Just remember that there is always a potential of a W/C claim for "aggrevation of a previous exsisting condition", therefore, it reads like you have a medical problem on your hands and you should be heading off the extreme continuous pain of…
  • INELSON: Definately appeal, again lay out your facts in cronological order, and succinctly. Stick to the facts, and do not add verbage or opinions to the board of review. I have won on appeal twice and lost once. The one I lost was the most diff…
