Good. The website you used is good and a lot of times we can avoid uncomfortable compliance/risk-avoidance questions through thoughtful accommodation without just caving in on everything, either.

[quote user="indhr01"]Yes, 41 is total employees. I've checked the JAN website regarding accommodation. Thank you.[/quote] Problem resolved?

[quote user="indhr01"] An employee is missing more and moreworkdays due to her having MS. The organization only has 41 employees so doesnot meet the threshold for FMLA. If the attendance policy is followed, she willbe terminated. We would like to b…

[quote user="BLR_HREditor"]One motivation for encouraging employees to stay with a company is the avoidance of costs caused by employee turnover. To calculate employee turnover rates, BLR has several types of turnover rate calculators for employers…

My resume is always up even while I'm employed. You never know when you will get a better deal. That's the nature of things now. Employers generally do not feel compelled to do everything they can to keep people on staff; people should not feel c…

[quote user="6345929"] I guess the real question is then: Can we deduct the time from the exempt employees' vacation balances? Does management have the option of saying "either you work or you take vacation time"? This is the part we are strugglin…

[quote user="6345929"] I am having an issue with determining how the law states whether a company is open for business or not. We are a small private company in Florida (around 65 employees) and like most companies we get Thanksgiving Day off as a …

you can't "unhire" someone. Backdating the termination is not a game I would get into. You're stuck for a month of health insurance.

You have an ADA obligation but, also, if FMLA applies to your Company, it sounds like the EE's condition is qualified. You will need to look at both, which means transfer is a last resort, especially until you get this completely straightened out i…

I never saw them. You might email customer service and see if they can give you some feedback. Perhaps the moderators thought the topic or the question was "too hot".

Check your state law on drug testing. I generally put it in the handbook because everyone signs a receipt for that. A well crafted drug testing policy will specify that refusal to test as directed will count the same as positive drug screening re…

[quote user="6274086"]Is anyone else as frustrated with the pace this law change has taken? Effective September 1, 2009 NYS issued regulations stating that insurers needed to cover unmarried young adults under age 29 and for the last 8 weeks Oxford…

[quote user="cappy"]That would depend on a couple of circumstances. Normally FMLA covers "spouse", "parent", "son", "daughter" but not a grandparent. However if the grandparent is in loco parentis - took the place of the child's parents for day to d…

Another way is, where feasible, use multiple raters. If you break it down to a four pount scale, "above expectations", "meets and occasionally exceeds expectations", "meets expectations minimally", "Does not meet expectations", that will help with…

[quote user="bebarrick"]Im not even sure if this is a bias, but one of our departments rate all of their employees so much higher then other departments. We are using a numeric system from one to ten and then the they take the average rating for th…

There are a lot of different biases in rating performance. The most pronounced is the "what most easily comes to mind" bias. For employees who do not have easily countable work their appraisals tend to be dominated by social performance or the las…

[quote user="LauLan"] If an employee stays home one or more full days for personal reasons, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY THEM! Simple as that. We have had exempts miss days beyond the (very generous) PTO bank we allot to them and they didn't get paid fo…

We have some people here who are DOT experts. I am not one of them. Can you tell me what the DOT age concern is? That is, why does a DOT applicant's age come into play?

I think you are wanting to get involved with her situation in a manner that is risky and, sadly, not appropriate in today's employment world. It is not your job to "fix", "inform", "cause her to face the facts" or otherwise get involved with her co…

[quote user="lstire3"] I don't think there is anything illegal with asking an employee about their birth date. Companies ask for it when we fill out I-9's, benefit packages (some are age banded), for payroll etc. It is only illegal to use that info…
