Wouldn't the 12-month interval start from the end of the previous FMLA period rather than from the beginning of the previous period??

Without access to specific details, sounds like you need to consult with an employment law attorney. Hopefully the case is a frivolous attempt to cover up and point fingers, but I wouldn't want to take the chance.

It may sound "funny" in HR terms, but not so funny when you suddenly become the parent of (premature) twins.

When we have someone on FMLA I go over their rights and responsibilities... prior to their departure if possible. We also give the employee a printed brochure explaining the Act. During their leave we keep in touch periodically to see how things a…

We use PTO under an accrual per pay period method rather than allowed/taken and feel the positive aspects for benefit administration far outweigh the negative possibilities. There will always be those ee's who stay up all night thinking of ways to …

Understanding there are reasons we should carefully use the terms "always" and "never": Part time positions serve important functions within the organization, and these employees warrant recognition for their contributions. Although they may not q…

Preparing to lead a seminar on interpersonal skills SHOULD be beneficial, except when the proposed leader is blind to personal faults. I've seen people present a program on "open communication" and continue their own "closed door" practices.

Did the supervisor document performance issues referenced to have occurred prior to the assault?

Rockie's "biggest con" is the main concern expressed by our managers. I also agree that new blood can provide new life and ideas, but not posting creates too much "bad blood". There's got to be an acceptable compromise. Margaret...Please fax y…

This continues to be a big issue in our office as well. Employees want to know when new opportunities are available, but some managers are reluctant/resistant to the practice. Currently there is no written policy regarding job postings. Is there …

Without knowing specifics and providing all things are equal(???)...consider what it would take to maintain the position level, especially if ee has performed well, has advancement qualities, etc. Consider the demoralizing effect on that ee and ot…

This is not an opinion...Just curious since it sounds like the background check was initiated after she started work. The resume seems to have been fairly accurate. If the position truly demands an MBA, it seems the discrepancy would have been qu…

We share the pain. Even though it seems to be a fact of life, at some point enough has to be enough. Our pay rates are competitive, and we have a very generous benefit package. Yet some employees try to engage power struggles to hold management h…

We are a large medical practice open every day but Sunday, with few exceptions. The 4th, however, is a paid holiday. Quick Survey: How many of you allow paid holidays for employees still within their 90-day introductory period? How many of yo…

Just curious...Is the MS degree in HR? Actual case in point--Someone with an advanced degree in a totally unrelated field. Even after being involved in HR for many years, this person still does not comprehend the ramnifications of certain practice…

What is the average rate for beeper pay...exempt vs non-exempt? Does the non-exempt receive compensation for response if the problem is handled with a telephone call?

To bsa: We experienced a similar situation in the past. How did you handle the pay situation for hourly employees?

Is there a problem having an OTC bottle of two or three meds for headaches, upset stomachs, etc? Employees (no minors) do not "buy" it as from a vending machine, but they personally choose whether or not to take advantage of the supply.

We have a restroom just inside the doorway from the designated smoking area. Smokers are required to wash their hands and use the mouthwash provided before returning to work. I'd prefer a total ban on smoking, but that proved to be almost impossib…

Also, I'd like to hear how and when some of you actually monitor...routinely, spot-check, only when there is some question or complaint? I am aware of some of the methods to track what sites are being accessed, but is there a way to track the actua…

Even if the actual seizure is not caused by the workplace, there could well be injuries sustained should the employee fall, etc. Do subsequent injuries then become a W/C claim?

For the sake of consistency, yes. Granted, sudden problems with any employee warrants investigation, and discretion in the application of discipline may be warranted depending on circumstances. But there is too much risk in fostering the perceptio…

I agree with Gillian. We probably don't have jurisdiction to investigate alleged harrassment outside the workplace, but such allegations are bound to affect work relations sooner or later. Without assuming guilt at this point, all parties need to …
