I'm curious; what was the final outcome of this situation? Can you share that with us?

[quote user="JEP123"]I agree with you 100%. Do you know of any case law, opinion letter, etc that supports this? I've looked at all of my resources and searched the internet, but can't find anything concrete. BTW, we are in WA state and our Famil…

Let’s say the parent lived across town. Would the travel time back and forth to the parent’s home be deducted? Would the travel time to get medicine be deducted? How about if the employee went to the grocery store to get food? What if the employee s…

Thanks for your thoughts. Good reasoning. I think at this point it is going to be a moot issue. After meeting with the attorney today any action at all was seen as very risky even with the evidence at hand. Typical scenario, supervisors want somethi…

[quote user="CarolL1999"] Cappy, I was interested to see if anyone had knowledge of such a restriction based on regulations, because I do not, and it seems to go against the principle of paying a wage based on the value of the job the person is bei…

Learned colleagues I hope I have framed my question understandably. Basically is there a something that says that if a demotion is not disciplinary then an employee's salary cannot be reduced. I know that is an odd situation but I have real good rea…

Yes that is correct; municipal governement. We are in a right to work state so we are not covered by a CBA.

Since there was a change in circumstances with the ee's medically certified time frame for the aabsence then you are correct to request additional medical certification. You would send a new Eligibility Notice only if the the ee's eligibility statu…

As I see it you have raised three issues. One is the FMLA which you have handled and I assume you are satisfied with. The second is a payroll issue which comes down to a matter of your policy. Deviating from your business practice comes with a diff…

[quote]Maybe the statement is not meant to protect the employer regarding the questions themselves, but rather responses applicants might give that would inadvertently reveal information the employer wouldn't have asked for. As an example, if an ap…

[quote user="PHS09"]Now I think I may have asked an illegal question. If an applicant is applying for a job and lives a significant distance away, can I let them know where we are located and ask if the commute would be a problem? What protected …

[quote user="CarolL1999"] So what you both are saying is that the purpose of the statement I asked about is to protect the employer even if they asked an illegal question? I hadn't even considered that possibility. (and would be surprised if that…

Do you own a car? What does your spouse, parents, friends etc think about you working here? You say you were born where? How will you care for your disabled child? Do you want children? Tell me about being in that wheel chair.

I will also email you later this week.

As difficult as it may be it is time to have a conversation with the ee. Yes it may be health related so you must have care about how you speak to this ee. Make it private and use an individual that possess compassion and tact. Make the conversatio…

I am about 3 hours south of DC. I have not heard of these types of resumes but they sound interesting.

[quote user="TXHRGuy"] Even though, as HR Professionals, we all know that everything we see on the Internet is true, I think it's helpful sometimes for OP to see "general consensus". We're here to help, right? [/quote] Absolutely! [:D]

I would expunge the other written warnings from the employee's file. All of them related to absences that you think could have fallen under FMLA. TX and IT are dead on. The ee may have a loaded gun don't give the ee the bullets, metaphorically spea…

YIKES!! I agree with the two well spoken people above. Pretext for getting rid of an employee will bite the company in the 'gludes. Not only that but what kind of message will that send to the other ees? Will it create respect for the manager or th…

[quote user="TXHRGuy"] I was getting cranky about it and sent something to customer service and got a timely and nice reply from the editor. They're having problems keeping the boards clear and professional from robot posters that put advertisement…

HRTX I want you to know that about six minutes after you posed the question I responded with VA law and what I thought was a pleasent answer. For some reason, this makes the third or fourth time, I get a message from the moderator(s) that my post is…

It may be a legal issue. Check your state DMV code for guidance. In VA. the code states: § 46.2-1242. Parking in spaces reserved for persons with disabilities; local ordinances; penalty. A. No vehicles other than those displaying disabled parking l…

Well I learned something this morning Gi_Jane. Our military leave allotment for our municipal employees is required and mandated by state law. Gosh. . .and thought we were just generous folks. Well you learn something everyday. Thanks for setting me…

[quote] Aren't firefighters considered civil service/government job though? That's a little different from your average private employer. When I was full time with the Guard, they gave me 120 hrs of military leave too on top of what I normally ear…

My feelings exactly. We used to use the 360 review but I'm here to tell you all it was good for was for people's revenge or a forum to register dissatisfaction over working status, pay or other issues that is beyond the control of most supervisors. …

Thanks for the additional thoughts and information. I will pass this along. She dii get a policy or two from others. Very interesting. . [I]

Thanks for all of the quick responses. It is correct I am in VA and I appreciate the links to the pages reflecting the VA statutes. We do not have a written policy concerning this and I probably will not produce one. We make allowances that are as c…

Ok, I see that the filters did not like the word I used. So I'll say 'natural' feeding of an infant at work. Hope that is clear.
