  • Enforceable by the manager? Is he the one being considered for termination or is he the one wanting to break the contract or take care of one of his clan? A contract attorney is most important in this case, regardless. A merger pending means the …
  • I like the suspend idea, and that should prove you are trying to be helpful but not willing to break the law yourself, I would however, give the individual a reasonable sunset in which to comply or face termination. Again treat everyone the same, E…

  • [url]www.usdoj.gov/crt/osc[/url] or 1-800-255-8155 "Your Guide To Fair Employment" a pamplet put out by the civil rights division, undated and in the center of the center section under "How Do You Comply with the Form I-9 Requirement" The first bull…

  • KP 68, Question I have is: "how does an employee apply for short term disability with out your organization being involved"? If you have a loop hole like this, I recommend you close the loop hole and make every application for disability come throu…
  • In our company a failure to report an accident/injury is a terminal offense. Our world of work can not take a chance that one would become worse off to leave an injury with out care. a break in one's skin is a place for development of greater illn…

  • Our company is 200 strong and located in 15 locations and rural communities. It is the recruiting bonus program that brings to us our strongest candidate of friends and relatives of those that are current quality employees. We have a 60 day orient…
  • It reads like INSUBORDINATION to me. There is no room in my "world of work" which allows for individuals to take their issues around their "chain of command or authority". Even when there is only a "Bill Gates" type leader and everyone reports dir…
  • EE always, always, always has the right to file and claim anything, anything, anything he or she wants to claim through EEOC. If your FMLA published policy is aligned to be concurent with W/C there would not be any additional time required. If you…

  • Rockie: An Up-date, the Feds have backed out of the case as the x-employee has retained an attorney. We have also put the case in the hands of our attorney and now the time clocks are marching to their $75.00 per hour schedules. Our position remai…
  • Rockie, Thing is, everything did go his way. He knew exactly what he was doing and now claims amnesia in order to get things to continue going his way. Of course, the DOL has jumped all over this a "primia facia" case in their view. The poor empl…
  • Rockie, Here it is [url]http://www.dol.gov/vets/usc/vpl/usc38.htm#4318[/url]. From here you can go to any piece of the law. I could not find the Non-Tecnical guide; it is in there somewhere. I am having the local vet office with DOL e-mailing me …
  • Rockie, look at page 9 of "A Non-Technical Resource Guide to the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act" (USERRA), put our by DOL dated October 2001. This is a very handy document to have on hand. It has a service member and emp…
  • You are probably right but one should read the plan documents and follow the plan document. The (SPD) Summary Plan Document may cover the military connection. Go to [url]http://www.esgr.org/faqemployers.html[/url] there is a USERRA facts, Question…
  • Up-date 9/11/2002 Case is now in the hands of his attorney and our attorney. Ours has all the facts laid out in a neat little package for his attorney. Our attorney has written his attorney a "let's get together and look at the facts letter". He …
  • Don, I believe they both attended that other school in North MS and they know how to be "Rainmakers", as "JG would call his peers". They all learned well, how to turn those "sand clocks over" and obligate minutes into hours and hours into days and …
  • Peyton, thanks. I am glad you and Don agree with our position. I feel very comfortable knowing what the employees's intent was and still is. Up-date: DOL backed out, Omsbudsman backed out, and we are now involved with his attorney dawg, who is loo…
  • Don, Thanks your information is always on target! Pork
  • I will, I have read through the USERRA documents for employees and employers but I can't find a reference on "reasonable travel time to go". USERRA does address the return times and what our obligations are with and without documents. 143 is cleari…
  • He/she definately did not eat the "other white meat". I believe since it is after the fact I would get the receipt information and give some time to better understand the expense of his/her meal. Steak and Lobster together down our way might cost …
  • The General Manager is most likely an exempt employee; therefore he/she is salaried and will work 25 hours a day and 8 days a week, when necessary or called upon to serve his company or the military. Being the leader of the company you should leave…
  • We pay .25 per mile, we have a hard head that thinks .25 covers all cost and employees get over when one pays higher rates! What was your facts used to convince the company to change up?
  • We get ours from JJ Keller. It meets the minimum legal requirements; we add a drug testing stick on and make sure we get a signature on the reverse side. it works for us and they are very resaonable in cost for packages of 50. 50 last us about a …
  • I do not believe there is a law that tells you what you can and cannot give out as a reference. Our state "tort" activities has caused our HRs and personnel specialist to with draw from honest, truthful loose tongues. Even though I know you need t…
  • You need Regulations Part 541: Defining the Terms Executive, Administrative, Professional and Outside Sales. Paragraph 541.118 (1), (2), (3)cover your specific issues. (1) supports your understanding; however, (2) & (3) supports what others i…
  • You probably should also offer basic spanish training to all of your customer service personnel positions. If an employee then chooses not to participate and be able to handle the obvious growing hispanic customers population, that individual has n…
  • Lori, I too agree that we do not need current criminals; however, we should start the process by stoping the illegals from buying these documents, we need to satisfy the I-9 requirement, a federal law. I have been in this business for 25 years and …
  • Problem is you don't know the original green card is false and you are not required to research. If they present you with different information after you have already hired the employee but do not ask for "assistance and a change in status applicat…
  • There is a catch to all this! If you discover by some means that false documents have been used to qualify the I-9 and you have a company policy which allows for termination based on the falsification then terminate and you have not violated Nation…
  • Problem is while you have a written policy your company's action or lack of action speaks louder than words. It doesnot sound like you have a written policy at all. Policies are only as good as your history proves the policy to be. It can not be …
  • Showme: I would check out with my Insurance carrier underwriters with reference to the company's liablity for damages while this employee is on this "paid volunteer time" both travelling to, while working at, and travelling from back to their home! …
