[quote user="hr410"] First of all - congratulations! Second[/quote] And that, too. Glad we had kids. :-)

[quote user="oxkimbaxo"] Thanks for the reply! Is the Medical Certification a paper that the physician has to fill out with questions like "Is the patient pregnant? yes or no"? [/quote] Yes. And, while it's easiest for the employer to use the form…

Cool, a reason to catch up on some of the changes in FMLA regs. See 29 CFR 825.300 4(b)(1): b) Eligibility notice. (1) When an employee requests FMLA leave, or when the employer acquires knowledge that an employee's leave may be for an FMLA-qualif…

[quote user="3800521"]Is it recommended to have the following question on job descriptions (or perhaps a different version).. Can you perform the essential functions of the job for which you are applying either with or without reasonable accommodat…

[quote user="IT HR"]I am really surprised by some of the doctors answers as the situation could potentially be worse after the procedure is done and they find out what is really going on. I would think the doctor would want to leave some room in c…

Glad to help -- let us know if it becomes more complicated.

Unfortunately, prescription medication constitutes a regimen of continuing care, so just about anything for which the doctor prescribes medicine can be FMLA qualified on that basis if the incapacity criterion is met. 29CFR 829.115: "(2) Treatment b…

[quote user="HRFLDist"] I have asked her why she is requesting it and here is her response: "It would promote proper posture and I was told by my chiropractor a while ago that it would help with back aches when I hurt my back and hip last year. Th…

[quote user="GloCoHR"]We currently offer a voluntary sick leave bank program that offers the use of donated hours to an employee who has no leave balances (sick & annual). The employee in need must also be a member of the sick leave bank and th…

[quote user="lwilley"] Thank you for your feedback. This employee has actually been completing a time sheet so all overtime has been paid. The issue is this employee is the only non-exempt who is paid on a salary basis and does not clock in. I h…

[quote user="lwilley"]We have an employee who is the only non-exempt salary out of 400. We want all non-exempts to clock in. How would you handle the conversation about changing them back to hourly. This employee has explosive personality[/quote]…

I can see it now. Under employotainment, FMLA would only apply to situations where it might have entertainment value in a reality TV context when thrust under the spotlights with a camera crew, like following around a public transportation bus driv…

[quote user="babaHR"] I know it's just a TV show, but I was shocked that Donald Trump would select Joan Rivers as the winner of his show after the personal insults she said to Annie Duke, which were way over the line. Maybe it was just to generate …

How small and what state?

[quote user="HRBaby"] One of our manager wants to terminate an on-call driver that never picked up a client. When asked the employee said he did pick up the client and also confirmed it in our system. However, the client confirmed otherwise and w…

It's not uncommon for the current supervisor to have to approve the transfer if the incumbent has been there less than a certain time frame.

[quote user="mdhrhelp"] Have you ever run into an employee resigning from a position due to the fact they are not able to post for a position at another office (this is due to our 12 month policy in which an employee must be in the current position…

Glad to help -- let us know what you find out from your review.

[quote user="cb499"] TXHRGuy, 1. To reword: negative balances are not generally permitted but may be approved for emergencies. If a salaried ee doesn't work for an entire week and is out of PTO, they would take leave without pay. If a salaried ee …

[quote user="cb499"] I'm trying to get my head wrapped around a process and the FLSA requirements. There have been many discussions on this topic so I hope I'm not repeating one I missed. A govt. contractor is required to keep detailed timekeeping…

[quote user="cappy"]Ok my FM says this. He does not know. [:(] But he did add that what you have to look at is the type of work that is being performed at the job site. OSHA and NFPA may be similarly stringent but it would be OSHA that would set for…

[quote user="hrtx"]Thanks. This is very helpful. Would you happen to have a sample of a release that I could take a look at?[/quote] Even the simple ones that I have seen are fairly complex. One issue you may have to deal with is special provision…

Assuming the cash/revenue position of the organization can accomodate that while also doing a search (and subsequent selection and compensation) for a replacement, then there's nothing inherently wrong with it. However, the Company should at least …

[quote user="ninanewbie"]We have an opening because an employee moved. To save money, the department head wants to hire two part-timers to job-share the position and who both will not work enough hours to qualify for health benefits, instead of one…

[quote user="cb499"] A similar question with a different twist...what if 95% of our staff are salaried, exempt yet occasionally we pay one of them overtime? Never everyone and never consistently? Is this a problem? We're a govt. contractor and ther…

Glad to help :-)

[quote user="6380514"]We do not pay salaried employees overtime as a rule. Does anyone have this worded well for their handbook? I need to incorporate something into ours, and haven't found what I'm looking for on the site. I want it to basically…

[quote user="JACHR1979"] Does anyone have a sample letter they could share discussing a personal Hygiene policy? We have an employee who does not shower or take care of themselves. It has come down to the point where we need to have a discussion …

Another post sitting in moderator heck with nothing controversial in it. I'll see if this will get through. I agree with SFBay's analysis regarding FMLA. I would keep an eye out for caregiver discrimination: check the EEOC's website for details.

I agree with SFBay's analysis. The only thing I would add is that it bears mentioning to be on the lookout for caregiver discrimination. http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/caregiver-best-practices.html This typically manifests itself as some form …
