  • JRMVT: No, on a personal leave of absence for up to 6 weeks for the "birth" or "broken whatever" leave without pay when they do not qualify for FMLA. In our case, our Medical Leave Policy spells out that two weeks waiting period where vacation and …
  • If not mandated to give FMLA, then you are fair to treat her as an FMLA/Medical Leave ee. In our case we could give her 6 weeks for a natural birth and 8 weeks for a C-section birth. Being owners and leaders your rules anr your rules and all ees h…

  • E Hammer: Be factual and if you can not do that do not provide one at all. A letter of referral could come back to haunt you should something go seriously wrong at the new position, like violence in the work place. A general letter of recommendat…
  • Dusty: In a case like this I would look to the company senior leadership to be made aware of the circumstances and the awkness of the situation. Obviously, the senior leadership have not previously been aware of the cost of professional HRs in the…
  • James: The last chance agreement in our case is exercised when the employee has become a valuable assest but has lost his/her focus. The written discipline system has been completed and the situation is such that the ee will be terminated with in …
  • I agree with Larry C. In our last hearing for unemployment I use the failed to agree and sign a "last chance letter of instruction" as evidence of the opportunity. When the employee refused to sign the document because it was not written on letter…
  • Believe me he knows that the work permit must be renewed. You need to meet with him with witness present and an interpreter to make sure he understands. The quota for new immigrants for the 1st half of this year is gone. So he may not be able t…
  • PATTY CAKE: May I suggest that you do a search on the web for FLSA. At [url]WWW.FLSA.com/coverage.html[/url] scroll down to the basis testing section and the 3rd paragraph, last sentence and you will find: However, employers may "dock" the base …
  • BIRDGIRL: Given that you have given the primary cook a letter of instruction which lays out clearily your expectations, then I would simply demote the cook and promote the assistant cook or leave them as they are but take the job descriptions words…
  • VPHR: You certainly have a right to disagree. I have been there and done that; the IRS wants the employee paid to the maximum amount possible, as compensation including lunch hours. EXAMPLE: Vendor takes secretary out to lunch and pays for the l…
  • HRinNH: STATE LAW DOES NOT TRUMP THIS SITUATION AS YOU LAID IT OUT! Your boss is wrong and the company must pay. You should be able to get a free copany of the FLSA from your friendly DOL office. You can also to a search on the web for FLSA and p…
  • I agree this is avery bad idea and should something bad happened, the attorney for the injured party will have a great time showing the company as "at fault" and not caring about the lowly employee. The fact that this person volunteers for the extr…

  • Gene: You are way to engrossed into your bekiefs that all foreign nationals are illegal. By your little story I sense a discriminating thought and activity in your mind and actions. I preach now and have forever more that we do not discriminate b…
  • SMACE: Your assumption is incorrect, the process and procedures does not seperate an illegal, legal forgeign national, or US Citizens. When you look at the documents provided to you for the completion of an I-9 Form. The outward appearance of the …

  • I concur; the document is not to be accepted as an official document and identification for the purposes of completing the I-9 form which is required. Being in this country for 14 years does not necessarily make thenm ready for employment. PORK
