Information used by an employer for FML is not protected health information and no release is needed. Also, information pertaining to short/long-term disability, and workers' compensation is not protected health information--no release is needed. …

I just purchased a very affordable software program to track my FML. I was keeping it by hand and it just got to be too much counting. I purchased some software from [url]www.jjkeller.com[/url] and am very pleased with it. Now all I do is select …

Also, what happens if you never receive the paperwork? Just count it as FML? I have someone who hasn't returned the paperwork and that's what I'm going to do. I know I'll probably never see the documentation from the doctor because that's just ho…

We pay for jury duty and do not set a time limit. We also allow the employees to keep whatever monies they are paid by the court. Our jury duty policy is very generous.

We too require eye protection be worn while on the manufacturing floor. We do not enforce whether the employee is wearing their own glasses (perhaps non-safety) or safety glasses. We provide safety lenses and side shields to employees who choose t…

We will be off Monday, January 1, 2007 and Tuesday, January 2, 2007. Christmas will be the same: Monday, December 25, 2006 and Tuesday, December 26, 2006 (Christmas Eve observance).

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-20-05 AT 08:47AM (CST)[/font][br][br]If the employee is up front enough to give two-weeks' notice and we need to let them go sooner, we would pay them for the two weeks. We feel that's only fair. Ed…

We have about 45 temps working for us and they are invited to our gathering because it in held on-site during working hours. They do not participate in the drawings--that's for our company employees only. We do however give the temps a small holid…

For 2006 Christmas/New Year's we will give Monday and Tuesday, 12/25 and 12/26 as well as 1/1 and 1/2/07. Our employees have the option to use Monday, 7/3 but they would have to use PTO.

Once you get the narrative part done you can pretty much use the same one each year. The tracking and calculations are very time consuming especially if you have a lot of personnel activity: new hires, terminations, promotions, transfers. I use a…

We are a manufacturing company with approximately 200 employees and our policy is the same as Balloonman's.

Do a search of the forum. I started a thread awhile ago titled "orientation period survey" that got quite a few responses.

You have quite a job ahead of you. Good luck.

We are a manufacturing company with approximately 200 employees. I prepare one AAP in January each year. I am the only one who is responsible for it. I keep track of employees throughout the year and it takes me about a month to put everything to…

We have job description software from [url]www.knowledgepoint.com[/url] called "Descriptions Now". It has served us well although the program is quite old and we haven't updated it.

You may want to check the website [url]www.esgr.com[/url]. I have found a lot of good information on military matters there.

We are self-insured on the disability so the money is actually coming from us. I don't think HIPAA comes into play because I am not divulging anything other than the fact that they are not actively at work but are out on short-term disability. And…

We had an employee who elected to have the stomach stapling surgery. I contacted our attorney and was informed that it would be covered under FMLA as the employee spent a night in the hospital even though it was an elective procedure. It wasn't my…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-04-05 AT 10:16AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Perhaps your friend should contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission office in his area first if he feels he is being blatantly discriminated against.

The family member's physician must complete the form for the employee. No form, no FML.

I do ours in house and use Microsoft Access to keep track of my employees. I also use an outside consultant to work up the Availability Factor numbers for me since that isn't something I want to get involved with. She was also very helpful during …

I couldn't agree with you more Don. I would definitely fly under the radar if at all possible.

I automatically received an e-mail from them since I report yearly. The report is due by 9/30/05. The website they included in my e-mail for online filing is [url]http://www.eeoc.gov/eeo1survey[/url]. You do need a password to file online. Good …

I feel your pain. We've had people who wanted to attend the funerals of their mother three times and another employee whose father passed away five years ago who finally got around to attending the funeral--NOT! It's amazing what people will come …

Do these notices have to go out to current employees who are 65 or over or just to retirees covered by the healthplan? Also, how are we supposed to know if an employee and spouse are "entitled" to Medicare Part A? (This means that they actually ha…
-
I agree with you all but management wants to split it up and I think that will be a problem trying to determine when the employee must use PTO and when they don't have to. Thanks for your input.

Unless you are acting on behalf of the medical plan this is not a HIPAA violation, just a violation of personal privacy. I too usually ask employees if they mind my sharing their status (with no detail of course) with other employees. They usually…

After reading all of these replies, I must ask--how soon before a shift starts should employees be allowed in the building? 15 minutes? a half hour? What is appropriate?

I don't know all the deatils of EPLI but our company does carry it as part of our liability coverage.
