  • Glad to; we follow our published benefit policy on Medical Leave. We do not pick amongst individuals. We do look at their connection and worthiness toward the company and its plans for the performer. If it was an individual who we knew to be not …

  • Dandy Don has done it again and beat me to your posting, he must not have much to do since he has got everyone soooo well organized while he gives out normally good and right advise. Our Medical leave policy is our short term disability policy; it …
  • I forgot to add the friendly reference to the U.S. Department of Labor manual free for the asking: Federal Regulations Part 825, The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. It really is a friendly reading document and is a must have for a HR Library.…
  • wiremanufacturing, don't get confused get out your friendly FMLA policy and follow it! Money is not a consideration in the FMLA. she qualifies for 12 weeks a year. Should the physician take out of the work force three weeks prior to delivery that…
  • 825.115, page 25 Federal Reg Part 825 gets to the crux of the issue; "An eligible employee may take FMLA leave due to a 'serious health condition' that makes the employee "unable to perform the functions" of the employee's position. section 825.115…

  • DD: thanks, but I will continue to challenge the employee to stay in touch with my office every two weeks and to see the physician as often as the phsician ask. I do this inorder to keep the lines of communication open between the effected employee…

  • STJANN: I googled "Vets 100 Form" and up pops a reference to answers for all of your questions. We are not a government contractor, so I have not been required to execute the form 100. Hope this helps! PORK

  • ELLE: I have been there and done that, I took my concerns to the General Manager, and when I got the negative to neutral support from this young Yahoo, I pulled out my resume and began to getting it back into circulation. I stayed around for three…
  • St Bens: You can only reduce salary amounts across the board and let the event cause the possible resignations. You cannot effect an exempt employee's salary with the reduction of hours worked in any work week. Under the new rules for the FLSA yo…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-15-04 AT 03:19PM (CST)[/font][br][br]PAIGE: Expenses of the 401K plan can be paid by both the employee participants or by the employer. As I wrote on a previous thread to this subject, you should be…
  • Thanks, just my point and with a real life sample. This forum is worthy of great postings and less contoversal BS, Thanks ML Smith! PORK
  • KYMM: I am sorry, I meant to write "from the new potential employer", which they probably got in their application or during their interview process. Once you have that authorized release of information, it is my understanding we can release all fa…
  • KYMM: This is one of those post where I first recommend you check with your retained Attorney. I, too, have recently begun to read that the protection from revealing information which after the fact is slanderous to the x-employee's character, by…
  • NJJEL: We no longer worry about WPM for out recep/sec. Our test now is, is she/he capable of turning on the computers and bring up the appropriate program and can he/she use the system to produce a document ready to be mailed out. Can they use "d…
  • T: No, you do not have to keep this information confidential; however, if you are to establish and maintain a position of strength, as HR, you should agree to keep her name out of the event, but only to the degree necessary to do your job of stoppin…
  • Been there and done that, I have won 4 appeals and lost one that I just knew we would win; however, "wanton disregard for the companies policy, procedures, and property" was not sufficiently proven beyond a shadow of doubt that the employee was out …
  • PAIGE: Part of doing business. We do not charge the ee for plan expenses; however, that expense is taken out of the company "profit sharing" subjective award, at the end of the year. So in that sense, the current plan members suffer the lessened a…
  • But remember the financial analysis should not be your center piece. It is extremely important: however, "customer motivation to consum what, why, when, and how often" is what a company must be about. It does not matter if it is counselling servic…
  • Your personal interview with each senior leader is definately the starting place. Even to begin to have an open discussion with such a large topic will be very difficult to even begin. I would seek guidance from the most senior leaders on your mis…
  • THANKS, I HAVE BEEN WRONG BEFORE; THE POINT BEING, THERE ARE MORE ILLEGALS IN OUR COUNTRY THAN COWS, AND WE KNOW PERCISELY WHERE THEY ARE AS YOU HAVE JUST REVEALED. SO IF WE CAN'T TEST EVERY SINGLE COW FOR MAD-COW, AND WE KNOW WHERE THEY ARE, THEN …
  • I heard a fact on the radio this morning that in our country there is around a million or so cows in our country and that is why our government does only test high risk cows for Mad-Cow. there are more illegals than there are cows. PORK
  • Just a point or two for your education and use as you deem appropriate. One of our legal Hispanic ee was raped by two of the our illegal immigrants. We assisted the local sheriff in the case and the apprending of the two suspects. They were par…
