  • Offer to everyone similar to a health insurance benefit - say for example, let part of the child care to be paid by company up to a certain amount ( that you determine ) per month, and the employee pays the rest.In this way, all employees are treate…
  • Update & question: No word from sick employee.The owed premiums are more than the accrued vacation this employee has. Can we in California, take all of his accrued vacation pay toward part of the owed premiums ? He has NOT yet been fired. But I …
  • Update: I insisted on sending letter to employee on 05/22 , after Gen. Mgr. waffled back and forth - informing sick employee still out that without payment of at least $100 ,premiums coverage will terminate 05/31 at 4 pm sharp.Letter went out - stil…
  • Update: I told the General Manger we have to send a letter by Monday. This employee unexpectedly showed up for work yesterday with a doctor's clearance, agreed to pay the unpaid premiums, and did work. However, when other employees were also leaving…
  • We give salaried personnel two weeks per year from the start , while hourly workers get one week.
  • "Does not contribute to social security" ? That I don't understand. We are exploring expanding our disability benefits offering through AFLAC.It will be entitrely employee paid, and portable wherever they go. The prices are reasonable.
  • You say that your WC carrier is not concerned ? Whoa ! Does your carrier act this way with your other claims ? If so, time to switch carriers. Chari
  • We CANNOT assume that a hearing aid would fully or apparently correct the firefighter's substantial impairment in hearing, and ADA still might apply!!! As one who wears a hearing aid myself, I can tell you that not even the best instrument will full…
  • It must be California, but we are in the State W/C pool at a rate ( still expensive ) BUT cheaper than private insurers were offering! You are right, it is the "stupid" injuries that drive up the rates ! Chari
  • I can speak from experience re hearing aids. Rather than replace the entire instrument, which indeed is very expensive - a good hearing aid repair facility can replace the entire inside instrumentation only...which only cost me $ 215 last July..a…
  • A little while ago, I chanced to meet a doctor who practices in a Southern State. We had a discussion about Worker's Comp. The doctor stated that some states allow up to TWO years for a injured worker to file a claim! Chari
  • I never did understand why TTD pays more ( our last guy on WC got $490 per week ) than Permanent Disability - for the range of 70 - 99.75% Permanent Disability, the maximum is $230.... Chari
  • I see no problem if the injured employee checks in with you on a regular basis, and goes to scheduled treatment as require, giving you the paperwork to show that he/she went. The problem is when the injured employee does not keep in touch and does n…
  • Update: We received a demand letter from Attorney of employee on WC. Letter demanded of us ( and the WC carrier that we had prior to the injury ) documents, benefits, compensation, witness lists, medical records - the whole nine yards. The letter wa…
  • It seems to be a never-ending-battle.The workers in the shop have the bad habit of dropping bolts,lug-nuts and what- nots all over the floor during the day...where someone could easily trip ( I have ) , and then we have to pay them also to sweep up…
  • Owner fired employee today. EE's wife is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow. EE had choice words with owner at time of firing. Bad scene. At issue was EE absences due to illness since November, a total of 6 days.One day was missed due to the back st…
  • We pay per diem at $50 - I strongly encourage our employees to bring food on the plane, especially on long flights. Many flights do not serve food. And if food is served, with airport or airplane menu prices , fifty dollars can go in a hurry. Char…
  • Objection ! ~ after over 400 posts, it ought to be very obvious to anyone that I am quite involved with HR . The fact that my employer can't spring for a $277 subscription, doesn't make me any less of an HR professional. Chari [email]calter@io…
  • Suggest that you present a summary to the Board , if any, of other cases similar to this -i.e., when the employee went to Court rather than complete the internal grievance process. Summarize results of cases, with an estimate, if you can, of the ho…
  • BLW / HUNTER: Can you 100% of the time be certain that the person calling is who they say they are? In this day and age, with privacy issues - even with just dates hired and positions held , it pays to CYA by getting employee written authorizations …
  • Pork~ True, we as Forum members can be replaced, - and life goes on. MLS owns this website, and they can do what they want - charge or not charge for access. We, as Forum members, will do what we or our employers can afford, stay or go elsewhere…
  • Actually, the fact that he is a long-term emplyee is irrelevant. Any of your employees who use this unacceptable word at the workplace have to be punished the same. Suspend one for a first offense, then you started a precedent. Terminate for a first…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-10-04 AT 04:44PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Henry, Did the dealership do an anaysis as to "why" these salespersons are not selling enough ? Is more training needed ? Is the training good enough ? More than t…
  • Unfortunately, we live in a society where religious symbols are being removed under threats of expensive lawsuits, right or wrong. Not too many businesses have the deep pockets necessary to defend forever against these lawsuits, and still remain in …
  • Wondering: does your contract with the Client allow the Client to pick which of your employees will handle their accounts ? Chari
  • Question: I note that on some of the SS cards, the employee's name is so long as not to allow printing of all the letters. For example,a Green Card may show FFFFF MMMMM LLLLLLLL, while the SS card will have printed FFFFF MMMMM LL . Now if the W-2 h…
  • Wow ! I am impressed. When you get up to the peak of your training, post your photo on the Forum at HRHero - so us ladies can see our resident He-Man ! Chari
  • Focus on the co-employee's complaint that this guy is following her around, and do an harrassment investigation . The co-worker should get a restraining order . Chari
  • The overwhelming ( it seems ) volume of Porn titled e-mail is something else ! - we filter and block and delete ,etc, etc... and the deluge keeps rising. Don't terminate your employees just because UNOPENED Porn e-mail finds its way to your company'…
  • Simply tell this gentleman : " That is all the information our Company policy allows us to give you ." Then hang up the phone ! Chari
