[quote user="Redbudpt"]Thank you so much Cappy. As of right now if an exempt employee leaves after working 1/2 a day (4 hours) then we do not charge the other 4 hours as PTO. I am thinking that with the new FMLA regulations we should probably be m…

[quote user="Redbudpt"] Under the new FMLA regs if we require that PTO be used concurrently with FMLA we can still ask for medical certification?[/quote] Yes. FMLA has two requirements. A qualifying event as defined in FMLA regs and the time that q…

MCWHO. You have not posted for a few days and I hope that means you have calmed down. I can understand you being upset but that is the very thing that may cause you to fail in this manner because anger can be perceived as 'most likely to have. . . w…

[quote user="IT HR"] cappy - VA has some very unique wording in their WC laws. I have worked on VA WC claims before. I have seen many be denied for different reasons.[/quote] You are sure right about that! I think that is why I seem a little on the…

What I have experienced dealing with WC is this. Even if an accident occurred on the employers property it is not automatically WC. The accident has to be related to a job function. Example: If an individual is walking across the floor and simply tr…

[quote] It's not a perfect system and the victim sometimes is the accused because the Company has to protect itself whether the complain has merit or not simply because the merit of the complaint cannot be known. . . . It's simply not simple becau…

Ok that is a good explanation. However there is one more clarification. Maybe I'm dense after all it is Friday. An accusation is made in the work place and of course the 'victim' must be accorded all of the dignities and entitlements of protection b…

Wouldn't the supervisor that was under investigation have a specific right to know who is the accuser? How could a proper investigation take place if the accused has no opportunity except in general terms (I don't do this or that) as opposed to defe…

I am in Virginia. The city has begun using 'NeoGov' for such purpose as you describe. There are several layers of querying the system and also several layers of rights to grant for use. It is user friendly. wil provide you contact information. Hope…

Yep. They are. Instead of one form there are now seven. Of course a couple are for FML concerning the military.

We use "Neo-Gov".

Isn't this overly broad? Let me overly simplify an example so that my question can be easily understood. The article mentioned it is a small community. So let's say the community has some ties to each other in some way as relatives, cousins, in-laws…

We have a policy that addresses 'Modified Duty'. We avoided the term light duty simply for the implication of the word 'light'. Since most health care descriptions involved something other than the employees regular duty then that is modified not li…

Well that is pretty plain. I appreciate the response. [Y]

[quote] Glad to help. FMLA is a jungle that mixes the trees of statutory and regulatory fact with the vines and weeds of unsettled law. It's maddening. [/quote] Just to let you know . . . that is a great analogy. I will be using that sentence as…

Know something. . .you hit on the problem I was having. Even though I knew the things you posted, I did take your previous response too literally. Thanks for taking the time to get me back on the right track. [Y]

Ok now I'm confused. I know you were speaking of DOL but my understanding is that pregnancy is not a category under a serious health condition in FML. It can be handled under FML a bit differently as guided by DOL opinions, but not as a serious heal…

Thanks to all. I never thought about the tax implications. Wow! I'll have the compensation people look closer at that. HR_FUN. . . you make a good point. "It is ultimately HR's fault". My first post reflected my amazement that it happened and seco…

Thanks IT HR. I really appreciate the help. [Y]

. . . not to forget. . .we will also take a close look on how to avoid this in the future. I agree, something has to change in the system.

Thanks for the advice. I am in Virginia and I have the BLR Employment Law Guide for my state. Looking under the 'Compensation' tab I can't find any information that will help guide the issue of repayment. I really want to do this right. Can any of y…

I had a similar situation not that many months ago. The EE would come to work and then resist doing certain duties based on a stated inability to perform aspects of the job due to health conditions. This had been an on going problem and was becoming…

I use a company that is in Greensboro N. C called "Insight - a FirstPoint Information Resource." I have used this company for three years now to complete background checks for my agency that is Fire and EMS based. We have some stringent requirement…

I'm the H/R guy of a mid size Fire and EMS organization. We used to take pictures at interviews as well. We have since discontinued that practice. In light of the potential problem of an accusation that the pictures could be used to identify protect…

As a Fire Department we ban tobacco use both on and off duty. That is not something that a lot of industries can't get away with. The main difference is that we are affected by both federal and state presumptive illness laws. Lung cancer is included…

[quote user="Elizabeth111222"]I would have to disagree. The only information the physician needs to provide is that the employee is undergoing treatment for a medical condition and what accommodations are needed. You are not "entitled" for informati…

We use a seniority scale for PTO and have for many years. It is based on years of service rather than position. 1-5; 6-10 , and every five years until the twentieth anniversary. There has been no adverse impact issue though if you are starting somet…
