the last time i was involved in this type of benefit we utilized a national chain with local offices throughout the city. we had a specific plan geared to our company and demands, e.g, the employer picked the style of frame, the level of lenses, et…

i too agree that the salary not be amended because they don't need the insurance. that's great, but would you take away any increase given if their situation changed in 3 months and the employee informed you they now need the coverage? i don't thin…

thanks geno! unfortunately i did call the carrier - that's when they advised there were no conversion options. i just wasn't sure of what to say to in my letter to the cobra participant...e.g. sorry your coverage ends on such and such date and ther…

we are a group of 37 employees and we pay 75% of the employee dental premium - fortunately, our dental premiums are very low so we see that as an added benefit. if we were larger i'm not so sure we'd be so generous.

you state 20 "working" days - if they are not at work they are not "working". perhaps you should amend your policy to state just "20 days". just out of curiosity why 20 days? why not 10 or 30 or such?

Hello, Paul - Our small medical office of 37 also recently felt the crunch of premium increases; however, the most used benefit is the Rx plan. we went to the employees and asked them for feedback. they overwhelmingly agreed to continue to pay fo…

catherine - i can only respond about AFLAC from a personal situation - although we have only about 30 employees it was easier to have AFLAC come in and schedule time with my employees vs. someone with a large-group of EE's. anyway.... i did take o…

we are also in kentucky but i'm not aware of such a change. earned but unused vacation must be paid at termination; however, in some instance this can be applied when a notice period is required but is not given.

why not use a national carrier with a network in Ashville? Aetna, Cigna, all have national plans or contact your broker and let them do the search and plan design. good luck

we too offer a car allowance. for our sales staff howerver, we don't pay mileage (they drive so many miles) we also provide a company car when appropriate. However, we calcuated in advance and have set a policy that states how many miles will be r…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-02-04 AT 03:13PM (CST)[/font][br][br]we have not switched to AFLAC as a sole provider but offer as a supplemental benefit. I can only speak from my own experience about performance. EXCELLENT. Howeve…

we offer AFLAC; however, only a few of us take advantage of it. Im currently looking at the L/T care policy and considering. I personally have been very pleased with their products. Also offer to employees at former employer and employees liked t…

check with local health department. they will have guidelines and suggestions, as well as precaution guidelines. good luck!

Hello Nigel. We had almost identical situation except on way to bank. Our insurance guy told us the car insurance follows the car. However, since it was company business, we agreed to pay her deductibles. We did not have to but felt that since sh…

just because someone has had their P/R and received an increase doesn't mean they would get another increase with the new system. they can still go through the review process w/o $$. we try and give all the employees their reviews and increases in m…

sorry i can't offer a good fix , just an opinion.... i hate when this happens but there is not alot you can do. there's an old expression....the grass always appears greener on the other side. trust me, some may go but they'll be sorry and some w…

Hi, Katy Lu We offer an attendance "incentive". $100 for each 6 mos of perfect attendance (use no sick leave and can't take day without pay). We have 37 employees and maybe I pay it to 1 or 2 employees; problem "children" are still problems! Goo…

Sorry to be responding so late...was on vacation last week! Why not pay out the unused vacation..in theory you would one way or the other? For example: we pay out any unused vacation up to 40 hours at year-end (let's face it at year end I'd rathe…

If the employee has given bogus information your employment application should carry a disclaimer that any wrong information is grounds for dismissal (check it out). Since your at-will you don't need a reason and can simply term because she's just …

is there any possibility of using a female tech?? also, just recently went to doctor for a procedure and they have a sign posted in the waiting room "if you wish to have a female staff member or a clinical member present during your examination, p…

well golly gee ain't he special?! i don't think so. only obligation is to pay ee for time worked. if there's a home address on file then advise employee you will mail to home address unless he makes other arrangements.

although we don't have a PTO policy we have addressed the issue of employees taking time off without pay. we addressed the issue by amending our policy to state that we have developed a time off (vac and sick)that is conudcive to our business needs…
-
we call that "pay in lieu of notice", eg we didn't want them around for 2 weeks so we said "so long" and paid them for that time in the next pay period. they could apply for UI immediately but the benefit period would not count the 2-week notice pe…

you cannot deduct cash shortages in a common money till, cash box or register if used by two or more person! when deductions are authorized by the employee in writing to cover insurance premiums, hospital or medical dues, etc. in essence the onl…

as much as i agree with you, perhaps you should point out to the employees that this is better than having the entire group health plan terminated due to the cost of the premium - AND they will need to be more cost-conscious (sp?)now about how they …

we just met with our broker last week who is advising us to seriously consider an HSA. The benefit is to the employee who is covered under the employer's group health plan and those persons listed as "covered" dependents. The HSA benefits the empl…

as a kentucky manufacturer we also have our shop and service personnel wear uniforms. we supply the uniforms but the employee is responsible for laundering. we do not charge the employee since they have the responsibility for laundering. we also …

an employee usually collects from the state where benefits are paid. its possible the EE can file in VA but collects or is paid in PA - when in reality they are only collecting what they are entitled to from VA. some states will let EE file and wil…

let this be a heads-up out there for H/R gurus -- most doctor offices don't copy excuse slips so it will be difficult to confirm anything - even if they could (my staff better not) and we won't verify any information over the phone. period. "how do…

are these board meetings held during business hours? if a person attends during the work hours it is no different than if they were still at their desk - they have been allowed to deviate from their "desk work" so to speak to attend the board meeti…
