It makes me think of Winnie the Pooh (which isn't a bad thing), and Winning, (which is a good thing)! I like it!

When was the last physician's certification returned? In general, you can ask for a new certification concerning intermittent leave every 30 days.

Even the threat of an employee going to the DOL, EEOC, etc can raise your blood pressure. You need to stand by your documentation and hold fast to your policies. Does the timing seem suspect? Absolutely. But, you can't change that it happened, there…

All I have to say to that is:

Hey Sharon - it didn't work. I sent you a message with what the screen looks like to help with a fix.

Paychex strikes again! Sorry you're having problems with them, bethk - I know you and I spoke about this months ago, but I truly hoped you wouldn't have the same problems! As a stopgap solution, we are uploading documents to our secure intranet. S…

Unfortunately I don't know of any services that do this, but have you checked with your IT department? I know ours can track when individuals log on to our network - perhaps yours can do the same?

A. Final answer At times we have to get management involved for various reasons, such as getting their statements if they are involved in a complaint situation.

Is the forum on the app?

I agree with ritaanz. Employees who are currently on a performance improvement plan are ineligible for raises/incentives at our company. Wait to see if she "gets with the program," then award the increase based on merit after she proves herself.

I have mixed feelings on these as well, for many of the reasons Frank mentioned. Our company still has a 90 day introductory period, and a sort of modified disciplinary process for those still in their introductory period. Despite my own feelings a…

We use a company called HireRight - so far so good!

I'm in 13th place in my group (by bracket is so wittily named, "Hoops, I did it again"), and this weekend's games did NOTHING to help me! ::angryface:: We haven't noticed any real problems at work, but then again, it's still early in the tourney...

When I had this happen at a previous company, we had the employees fill out new I-9s, but NOT back-date them. Everything was filled out per the usual rules. When we added them to our file, we attached notes to each stating that on X date, during an …

I believe Joannie's right, or at least, that's how it worked when I was in Texas!

[QUOTE=joannie;721966]I notice some of you said you don't do background checks until post offer. If you haven't checked the applicant out, how do you know you want to make an offer. Here I check out the applicants, then forward the most qualified …

Same here. PTO runs concurrently with FMLA and non-FMLA personal leave.
-
You know, that is a great idea - when we had the "Great Chicago Blizzard" in February, we were trying to figure out communication strategies for letting employees know whether the offices were closed...we never even considered Facebook! Thanks for …

Ours is very basic. Here are the fields we use: For Employee to Complete: Name Position Date Leave Commenced Anticipated RTW Date Employee Signature/Date For Employee's Health Care Provider to Complete: I certify that (employee name) is able to re…

We received 405 applicants for an Executive Assistant posting....it was a bit nuts. When we posted that position, we had just started using our current recruiting software, and we didn't yet know about the additional functionalities we had to screen…

When we give sign-on bonuses, there are normally requirements that must be met before they are payed, such as: "Bob will receive a sign-on bonus of $1000 following satisfactory completion of the introductory period," or "Suzy will receive a sign-on …

We also address it in our handbook, and after the required number of days of being a no call no show, we label them as quitting without notice/job abandonment, and make them ineligible for rehire (absent any extenuating circumstances, of course!).

In house, I teach our supervisors and managers a basics of employment law course, which I think should be the first training area in terms of priority. Second on my list would be performance management, and third would be managing conflict. Heck, I…

dlongawa - in the first sentence of your post you mention PTO, then later mention sick pay....which does your organization use? We use PTO, which in our case substitutes for vacation and sick leave. We require PTO be used for all FMLA time.

I haven't had this happen to me personally, but after a quick internet search it does seem you have some remedies available, particularly the ADA interactive job accommodation process. Here's the link if you want to take a look: [url]http://www.nhlb…

Hmm. I guess the cheese stands alone!

Wow. That is confusing! Here are the things that stick out in my mind: 1. I assume she is asking for leave for bonding with the child, not the actual birth of the child. That being said, I believe there are ample rulings out there that state FMLA …

I believe that information should not be gathered until after the applicant has been offered the position, so as to avoid any claims of preemployment discrimination based on age or national origin. Our background check provider asks for this inform…

Our company elects to cover domestic partners for insurance benefits. Each carrier has a separate affidavit they require the employee and their partner to complete then get notarized. If the employee is unable to meet the terms of each affidavit (ti…

I agree with Nae's sage advice - give her the paperwork, and let the docs do the rest. On another note, welcome to the form, PA HR Gal! I noticed this was your first post!
