My understanding of the FLSA is that for exempt employees you can only make deductions from their PTO, Sick, Vacation, Personal, etc. in full day increments except for FMLA leave, jury or witness fees, or military pay. Below are the seven exception…

All of these ideas are great. Do y'all mind if I use them in a piece I'm working on (Building Morale with Fun and Games - tentative title)? I'd like to give you credit for your ideas, too. (First name only - Susie in Nashville.) If you'd like to…

What stereotype about divorced people? I get along great with my ex. He's in Alaska and I'm in TN. Sharon

Theresa, It is the supervisor's responsibility to control abuse and the supervisors authorization to do so is tied to the company's policy and the employee's job description just as Nae and KSR mentioned. Sharon

Hi! This is from the DOL website: 29 CFR 825.220 - Protection for employees who request leave or otherwise assert FMLA rights. (d) Employees cannot waive, nor may employers induce employees to waive, their prospective rights under FMLA. For examp…

Nae makes a very good point. If your practice has not been to contact employees in this type of situation, then you would be setting precedent now. I was HR in a company with less than 500 ees. It was pretty easy to reach out to ees to keep comm…

Irie, I can understand your frustration; however, I would be cautious about terminating without finding out more. As supervisors and HR folks, we often think there is no excuse for not calling in but sometimes there is a very good reason. In this …

[quote=juju;716074]Right now we are dealing with managers feeling entitled to more info than they need when one of their employees is on a LOA. We already tell them the ee is on an approved leave. They are having trouble understanding WHY they can…

Bethk, If just a date is missing (not verification of documents or a signature) you can contact the store to confirm the correct date then write it in and initial and date your correction. I would contact the store via email and get their response…

HR Hat, I think you're headed down a very slippery slope when you require employees to stay home, especially if without pay. A few questions to consider: How do you determine someone has a temperature? Would everyone have to be monitored on an re…

That goes without saying!

The CDC has a good Q&A on the swine flu on their website. You can find it at: [url]http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/swineflu_you.htm[/url] Sharon

Frank, Your facetious, fanatical, flawless, fertilizer forces me to forgo my frivolous feebleness forthwith. Sharon

Or, maybe just the nearest McDonald's. And, you'd get to eat, too! Sharon

Below is a draft of a plan that you can amend as you think appropriate. I hope it helps. Sharon [B]PTO Buy Back/Donation Plan[/B] At the end of the calendar year, if an employee has not used all of the PTO days in his or her bank, he/she may el…

Another option is to meet the former employee at a neutral location. Sharon

I only cook for three reasons. One is for my Mom on Mother's Day. Two is the odd batch of brownies or cookies. Three is for myself but only if I'm half starved and am too sick to go anywhere. (I keep a large supply of canned soup in my cupboard. A…

Celeste, Interesting idea. Do you think TK would let us bar-be-cue in the parking lot? Sharon

Tonia, The drivers may see the cleaning as "not their job" for all kinds of reasons, some of them related to the perception that it is beneath them as skilled drivers, etc. So, you may be fighting an uphill battle that just isn't worth it in the lo…

Paul, The old ADA says - An individual with a disability is a person who: [LIST] [*]Has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; [*]Has a record of such an impairment; or [*]Is regarded as havi…

Joannie, Some of the sauce recipes listed on that site are great. Thanks for the help. Sharon

Thanks for all the great suggestions. Sharon

Unless you have a "Company Equipment Use and Return Policy Agreement" signed by the employee, you may have a tough time retrieving the items. Also, you can't withhold his/her final paycheck until the equipment is returned. With that said, I would…

Nae, great ideas. Thanks. Sharon

Good to know. Sharon

I'd say the challenge with this list is determining the rank of each within the list. They're all #1 bad ees in my book. Sharon

Linda, It seems to me that you are making a good faith effort to work with her but she's not being as cooperative as she could be. If you haven't already, you might do the following. Explain to her that you don't need to know anything about her m…

I tried to attach a promissory note that you can modify as needed but was unsuccessful. If you can give me your email address, I'll send directly to you. Sharon

It's been a while since I've been involved in I-9 documentation but I believe that if the ee has a receipt for renewal of a document that was previously accepted and is now expired, that the ee has a 90 day grace period to get the actual renewal. I…
