Life is never as simple as it seems. The supervisor was terminated. The supervisor was aware that the guard was off and ignored it so that he could terminate the employee for ignoring the rules.(sometimes I feel as if the situation wasn't real). A…

1. In NY & NJ, an employee cannot collect both disability and workers comp. for the same incident, same period of time etc. 2. If I have an employee who wants to file with both carriers, I always complete the forms. If the employee hasn't follo…
-
My theory on all these things is when in doubt file with the workers' comp. carrier. In NY, you are allowed (for a reduced premium) to require your ees to use the wc carrier's HMO. It can cost the company as far as reserves go. However, if this i…

Who did he report the injury to? Speak to that person. What is your company on reporting wc injuries?
-
The answer depends on your state law. In the few cases where the ee filed with both the wc and disability carriers, I notified both carriers that ee had filed with 2 difference carriers and left it to the insurance companies to resolve the problem.
-
WC can be caused by illness. A basic rule should be to let the insurance carrier determine if this wc or not. The employer should never make that decision. Fill in the paperwork.

The question is not how much of problem you have. It is obviously huge. The problem is with a supervisor who at the least is being uncooperative and at the most being revengeful. The employee has to be returned to schedule immediately. The excuse…

The posting states that the ee wanting a week off to take care of the ESTATE of his dying father. He did not state he was needed to care for the father. Therefore, it would not be covered as FMLA. I see nothing in the posting about the request a…

It is my understanding that Dan is Don's liberal democratic twin brother. :~~ They used to be joined at the hip, but were recently separated because they were getting on each others nerves.
-
Is there a procedure for calling in if you will be absent for a Sunday night shift? Aside from that, I would give her the FMLA paperwork to complete.
-
It is not the employer's responsibility to do the ee's job. Furthermore, if I was the doctor, I wouldn't even verify I was treating the patient without their permission.
-
And, of course, you are following your normal attendance procedures on this... Unless she states that she is really a starfish and therefore it is possible for a sore wrist to cause a migraine.
-
The cynical in me wants to know what the weather conditions were on the days she was absent. Additionally, I'd be curious to know what the etc. is that causes her pain. Depending on how you define "year" in FMLA, if she continues to take one or tw…

We, also, terminated an ee for falsification of papers (in this case it involved a parent). We, also, were upheld by unemployment.
-
The answer to the questions is Yes and Yes. In one case, we allowed the leave because the grandchild was sick and the grandmother had legal guardianship. In the other, which was similar to your example, we denied the leave.
-
However, he is entitled to 12 weeks to bond with the new born child. (when they are this young, it not babysitting, it is bonding). Best bet, is to work with him and insist that there be prior notice.
-
Wow, is your company generous. We had a case in New York where the ee wanted to see the chiro and the physical therapist. However, under NY law, the patient can only see one or the other. The other thing is that in NY, PT centers are capable for do…
-
You're on the right track. However, what are her normal work hours. Why is she showing up at 1? What time does PT center open? Can you adjust her hours?
-
Agree with Don. One of the problems is we are not entitled to a diagnosis. For example,on another thread there is a discussion of cosmetic surgery. If the doctor puts down that the patient will be out for one week for liposuction it isn't covered.…

I, too, would treat sinus infections of three days or more as FMLA. However, I would not treat this as a chronic condition. Meaning that each time ee is out for a sinus infection, they (and you)have to do the paperwork.
-
I'm confused. I do not understand how anyone can be restricted to a specific eight hours each day (i.e. why not work from 8:30 to 4:30 etc. etc.) Furthermore, the ee is making a demand, not a request. The ee is not trying to work with you. You hav…
-
Part of our job is to protect the company. The way we do that is to do things consistently and have the paperwork to prove that. There have been numerous time when, for example, before I sent the papers, I knew the ee would get a FMLA leave. Howev…

I wouldn't cover it. It is cosmetic surgery. However, do you want anyone going on TV telling the whole world how heartless your company is. (Here's where I become cynical and sarcastic). After all, this very lovely, warm, charming, excellent worke…

The vasectomy is not covered. However, the complications may be. If he is out tomorrow send him the FMLA paperwork. As an aside, if you have a company on not calling in, it should be followed.

Congratulations are your 100th. Here comes my paranoia. This ee, who has an attorney, is seeing a chiropracter at the attorney's suggestion, gets annoyed when you try to determine the hours the chiropractor is open suddenly quits. I would make su…

She is seeing a chiropractor at her attorney's suggestion. SURPRISE!!! /:) I agree with above. However, you might also want to get a second medical opinion.
-
Laws change from state to state. When in doubt, file a claim and let the insurance company determine if there is coverage.

One I noticed that state vice presidents (plural). My feeling is that whether it is a v.p. or a supervisor or anyone else, medical information is confidential. Therefore, you are right.
