Great Topic! I'm another that uses "What we have here is a failure to communicate." a lot. I also like "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Stop being part of the problem!" from DieHard. "Perhaps if we built a large wood…

"Time taken before earned must be paid back on the final pay check." Not to get off-topic, but is that legal? I was under the impression that you could not take anything out of the final paycheck (besides taxes,of course). Maybe that's just a sta…

Great ideas! We'll have to give that a try! Actually, some of our best and most dependable workers are 20-60 year old women, so we don't want to ignore that market. Its just that there are a lot that don't make it.

Thanks for all the information! Yes, we know we are pretty much doomed to high turnover. This industry typically doesn't pay very well and it is hard work, but we usually start people off about $3.00 above Minimum. The problem is that most of our…

Educate Educate Educate! We switched from a very rich HMO about a year ago. We only have 12 covered employees and the premiums were getting outrageous. We would pay 100% of employee premium, but they had to pay for any additional. The premiums w…

The only one that might apply would be FMLA, but we're too small.

ritaanz - Hindsight sure is 20-20! Oh, well. Beverlee - We are too small for FMLA. He loses elig. at the end of 02/08. I have verbally confirmed that with him and wil send a follow-up letter out Monday. Thanks for the info on the insurance paym…

Wanted to update everyone on this topic. First, thanks for all of the great replies! We took the advice of many of you and met with an employment attorney to draft up a short-term disability policy. We went ahead and had her review our whole empl…

Thanks for all of the great info! We don't currently have a Short-term leave policy and there is no insurance. I don't think she is expecting for the 12 weeks to be with pay. I'm not sure she is expecting any of the 12 weeks to be with pay. I wa…

This time of year, we only have about 15 employees, but that can swell up to 40 for a few months in Spring. Regardless of discrimination laws, we were not figuring on giving her any less time than we took - that would plainly not be fair. Thanks, …

PORK, I'm kind of confused where you are heading with this. Are you suggesting that we offer her the 6 or 8 weeks unpaid, but that if she comes back to work before the 6 or 8 weeks are up with a doctors clearance, we go ahead and pay her for the ti…

Good advice! My wife's brother is an attorney and our next step is probably to get his recommendation on an employment attorney. I'll keep the ones you cited in mind as well. The employee may be key, but is not salaried so I don't think your refe…

Hmmmm...the thing is, I know something about this employee's financial situation and asking her to resign without a promise to rehire would set off a panic attack on an unprecedented level. We don't wish to be that harsh. We are willing to give so…

OK, I've done some more checking and found out that the Landscaper would rather not run it through her company. My guess would be because she'd have to pay them overtime. Though from Geno's response, I'm wondering how that works into the mix (we a…
