Hi Tonia! Simply put, most payroll software programs have the technology to calculate this for you. But if you do manual payroll, you're on the right track - OT must be paid out based on any hours worked over 40 in the work week (as defined by the e…

Thanks everyone!

Because it's HR! Things are never easy here! If it were me, I would send the employee a letter via certified mail stating that he must return to work in 2 weeks (or some other date), and that failure to return to work by that date will result in te…

Welcome to the forum - I see this is your first post! =D> Before you can decide on termination, there are a few things you should consider. - Was the employee given all required FMLA information, which informs them of the 12 week maximum? - Are…

I'll be happy to send you ours if you want, but ours is a "Jeans Professional" dress code - may not be appropriate for a financial institution, unless you guys are WAYYYYY cooler than the financial institutions I've worked for!

So does that mean we don't have to display the poster for the time being?

Welcome to the Forum!!! I also believe you need to check with your plan docs. Absent any language stating whether the person needs to be actively working in order to meet eligibility requirements, it is really up to you. Most often the answer you'…

I can't think of one! Assuming you always comply with any seniority-based benefits you provide, this list shouldn't be a cause for concern.

I also agree with your old book. For the garnishment you received, is it a court-ordered garnishment or a debt collection? For most debt or third-party collection notices, there is a caveat in there that states the employee has the right to dispute …

Here are the ones that would top my list: 1. Employee retention 2. Firing/Disciplining Employees while avoiding EEOC minefields 3. How to attract top talent in IT positions Also, in general this topic always shows up in seminars and I honestly don…

Congrats on your first post and welcome to the forum! As far as a resource that lists that information by state, other than doing a simple Google search I'm not sure where to guide you. I do know that states are different - we had to do some agreeme…

Nae, you might be on to something!

I'm beginning to sense that Health Care Reform, like politics and religion, is becoming one of those things you should avoid talking about. I actually feel pretty strongly about this, but in the end, I just don't have the energy for a debate. **== …

I don't know why (maybe it's my headcold?), but "I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges." had me dying laughing. Love it.
-
I was thinking the same thing! I just jumped on to check what's new, which was, well, very little! I myself have just been swamped. I actually feel a little guilty that I haven't been posting more. I'm down a person in my department, trying to hir…

I think small illnesses/incidents like what you are describing are the hardest part of administering FMLA! At least, for me they are! When in doubt, look back to the regs. The dental issues will have to pass two "tests:" one for qualification as a …

I once sat in on an interview where the hiring manager asked "How many paperclips do you think it would take to fill this room?" I was about to fall out of my chair in disbelief when the applicant, not missing a beat, said "regular or jumbo size cli…

YAY!! I love a good poll. Be prepared for the deluge.

Nae gives good advice - it all depends on how you define the FMLA year, via the three methods Nae lists. Just be sure that you are using the same method as has been used in other FMLA instances. In most FMLA paperwork I've used, you are required to…

@sonny - The key to this is deciding whether the "prolonged course of specialized instruction" in which they gained this "advanced knowledge in the field of science or learning" is used in their job. So, someone with a Masters in Archaeology, alth…

Wow, wow, W.O.W. I can't say I'm surprised to hear of this, I think it really was only a matter of time. And in all honesty, I can see this being a true hit with employees in the Millennial generation. Despite the supposed legality of this, I would…

We've never really had any issues with pools or March Madness. Our response to these sort of things has always been to focus on work product. If an employee is suddenly being less productive, we will definitely take a look at things like internet us…

Sorry for the long response. Here are my 2 cents. On job classification - I go into every classification analysis with the presumption that they are non-exempt, and then have to make sure they pass all prongs of the exemption test in order to class…

As always, Nae said it very well. My biggest concern with allowing employees back prior to being medically released is one of liability. The last thing you want is some employee saying "I felt pressured to return to work even though I was on FMLA, s…

[QUOTE=Celeste Blackburn;723647]I'm not sure about our maternity leave but I wanted to chime in about how to create a poll. It's easy to miss. When you are creating a post, under the box where you write your text, there are several smaller boxes un…

Have you received any indication from the employee (or others) that the 1.5 week absence and all the "chronic" absences are related? If you think they might be, I would go back to the provider. It is perfectly reasonable for you to ask the provider …
-
I agree with the others - I think this accommodation is reasonable and since it is not actually inside the bathroom, I believe you're being compliant. I have to say - that puts what my company does to shame....you guys are definitely ahead of the c…

Rain dancing is pretty bad, but I think sending smoke signals might be even worse. Think of the fire hazard! Oh - and yes, your friend needs to press for the [I]interactive [/I]part of the accommodation process. It can be scary to speak up or disag…

Of the three stats listed, I haven't experienced any of them (at least, to my knowledge!). I guess in theory a parent could be submitting the resume without the child's knowledge, but I don't necessarily know that. I've heard more of this sort of t…

We take a "What betting pools?" stance and feign innocence in everything. :angel:
