  • Don: In our area $35,000 is the price tag for the total works. This does not include the impairment rating. We recently experienced another crazy rating of 7% which worked out to be a settlement figure of $55,000.00.
  • We have two Maintenance Managers: One for vehicle services and he has a crew of three, he is exempt and the others are labor vehicle mechanics. He makes sure the drivers do their PM and the mechanics do the portion of the PM that must be done with …
  • PICS? WHAT PICS? DON IS DISABLED. PORK
  • HRANNA: One thing I noted in your post was of a concern in my thoughts for verbal statements. In doing investigations, I inform the person with whom I am speaking the general nature of the investigation and I then slide a blank piece of paper to th…
  • Jewel: I would be carefull with the ace bandage, he might wrap it to tightly and cut off the blood circulation, which might cause loss of feeling in the hand and fingers, and accidently run his hand into the crushing machine or worse cause a blood …
  • JEWEL: In the world of Tattoo, these days I believe I would leave the situation alone. Obviously, the individual understands he is in a mixed world of work and is doing something about any obscene by covering the vital parts with a bikini. Unless…
  • LarryC: Your last option would be my normal operating condition. Call them all end to a meeting place for the announcement; followed by a pay-out of your normal terminating procedures. At some point in this period you will need to brief and issue…
  • NICROMAN: Give the ee a written warning with a sunset which tells the ee to remove the item by 5 PM today. If it is not gone by 5 PM today then the ee is to stay at home for three days without pay. Upon the return of the ee into the work area the…
  • I concurr,it takes a stronger HR to be able to handle all issues fairly and without prejudice when managing two different or more arms of the company. However, given you have a sound employee policy manual to follow it makes for a lot more ease. I…
  • Don: Thanks for pointing out the "lapse in coverage" item, my thoughts were running much to fast for these old fingers. My situation was three employers ago before HIPAA, and you are right, that is when we all had previous exsisting condition prov…
  • BALLOONMAN 1: What does your Medical Plan Document say about "previous exsisting conditions"? Surely the plan clearly lays out that this previous condition would not be covered. Now, given you know that would there be a closing date on the conditi…
  • CAROLISO: Interesting question; I did a google on 5 cfr 536 (now that I am on the reply page, I am not sure of the numbers) I got a page that reads to me, as an official US Government document pertaining to someone in which a personnel investigatio…
  • GOLF: We use an outside resource for complete background checks and the cost is very reasonable. We do this on CDL driving positions, I also augment that check with local phone calls to listed references provided by the individual on our applicati…
  • MANNYHATS: Welcome to the forum, great question and I recommend you lean heavy on your local PERSONNEL ASSOCIATION members for their input to good attorneys in your particular area of the country. I assume you have talked with your senior leaders a…
  • HR pam FL: Welcome to the forum. Your post does not identify any action which breaks the law. The ees who are eating lunch and get through early, may be considered to be abused by the company for allowing the ees to work without a meal break. Ho…
  • ROCKIE: Two years ago I was asked by the production manager to provide an apptitude test for the production end of our business. Of course, in our swine world there was not anything already developed. Therefore, I called upon my wisdom and the pr…
  • CS: Encouraging employees to participate in more healthy lifestyles is good; however, putting company name and sponsorship to a particular outside activity could very possibly align the activity with liability for injuried employees and damage to t…
  • SEELEYHR: I report to the General Manager of the this state operating company, who reports to the President, who happens to be the son of the owners and an owner himself. The General Manager is the operating decision leader for this company. The …
  • KYMM: No question or issue is a "dumb one"! Just based on what you have written and without further investigation into the given task accomplished by this lab tech, and given they are compensated with a base rate of $455.00 per week, I can make a …
  • SAFETY: Definately call the ee in and dicuss the situation and the conversations with your seniors. Read your short term disability policy, with reference to light duty, fraud, physician's release. The EE could probably go back to the physician a…
  • AJ: I concur with your approach! Make it a "positive learning experience" rather than a "selling experience". Talking to the record keeping requirements for "hours worked". The same should be true of your circumstance; if the current EE is salar…
  • MS HR: Great question! We don't have anyone who will fall into that category. I expect there are very specialized individuals and it will be interesting to read their HR explanations. Not having to punch a time clock might to some be considered …
  • EVERGREEN: THAT READS LIKE ABUSE TO ME! Punishment and getting one's attention for behavior change does not take that long. In all companies, I have worked, the discipline system of suspension w/o pay never exceeded 3 days or 1 week in the case…
  • NJJEL: Sorry that no one in New Jersey has responded openly. I did a Google search with "FLSA New Jeersey", the third item down the listing is the minimum wage laws connection, I am sure had I searched a little futher I would have gotten to the la…
  • HRCALICO: That's ok, I eat beef also, but for the last 5+ years, I have a greater priority and taste for PORK, the other white meat. We buy tons and tons of corn from Nebraska, and raise HOGs in Iowa, so your corn growing might just also feed our …
  • HRCALICO: I suggest you consider the 10 DANGER ZONES FOR SUPERVISORS, produced and marketed by this very company (M L Smith). It is well worth the money and it will easily cover the entire gamit of subjects and areas of interest. The program is v…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-19-04 AT 04:37PM (CST)[/font][br][br]HRWOMAN: Welcome to the forum; I jumped the gun and should have read further. Just do not call the person an illegal alien. The Social Security mismatch i…
  • DON'T CALL AN ATTORNEY! SIMPLY GO SEE THE EEOC FOLKS AND MAKE YOUR CLAIMS THERE. You might consider waiting to see what kind of a response you receive back from them. Your postings to day appear to really be concerned for your self. So follow th…
  • KENT: Section 785.38 of the FLSA does shed some light on your concern. "Time spent by an employee in travel as part of his principal activity, such as travel from job site to job site during the workday, must be counted as hours worked! Where an e…

  • KENT: Don has laid it out very clearily. I would only add, you could also call your insurance carrier to determine their conditions for coverage. Most likely, they will tell you the same things that Don has written. For sure get him out of the "…
