Welcome to the forum. Ask any question that comes up. It's better to get the info up front vs. trying to backtrack and make it right! We all need help with our jobs from time-to-time.

Go to OSHA's website for information. Training is required. Also check if your state has any regs. Your workers compensation carrier should also be able to assist you. Good luck.

If the employee is on work restrictions due to a work related injury/illness I would advise checking with your workers compensation carrier. In Nebraska, WC pays mileage to the injured employee to and from medical appointments. Good luck!

I'm not in PA, but young or old, the doctor will determine if the person is able to continue in their present job at the time of MMI. Work through your WC carrier to get updates of the ee's treatment plan. Most WC cases tries our patience to the v…

The "Choice of Dr." form needs to be completed by the employee as soon as possible after each accident/illness. When the form was first issued, all employees had to have the form signed prior to an injury. The WC law has changed since then.

We keep our for 1 year, but do not retain them as active. People must reapply when we have an opening. We don't hire alot, so reviewing old apps. is a waste of time for us.

I sat for the SPHR back in 98. From what I understand the PHR is more testing the knowledge of the law, etc. The SPHR tests your knowledge of how you would use the law, in different situations. That's where the longevity of practicing HR manageme…

You may consider, for future, getting all resignations in writing. If we are not provided a written resignation, we have the employee complete a simple form indicating the reason and their last day of work. This can help with unemployment claims. …
