  • Don: Yes, we have withheld medical attention after a positive drug and alcohol test. We have also terminated that person's employment. None, have won to date. Our Alabama case went all the way to court, and we won there, the x-ee lost an arm and …
  • Don: Thanks for the education! Over the last 6 years, we have nailed 3 W/C cases and have denied all three medical coverage beyond the initial treatment, which we had to prior approve in order to get he Post accident Drug Test accomplished. I gue…
  • CAMI: GASTRIC BY-PASS SURGERY could very well be the required physician's procedure to combat other serious health conditions. Our medical plan will not pay for an elected procedure, but will if the physician declares the procedure to be required …
  • ETHEL: Again the physician would have to make that call. Our medical plan would not pay for this procedure. My assistant is now on our medical plan. She is no longer married to the person employed by another company. If the physician could come…
  • Don: You are so keen to make that perfect point and so right on. My assistant had the procedure done and her husbands medical plan paid for the cost of medical treatment. She only missed two days of work for the surgery. FMLA was not required.…
  • I concurr with Don! I have on three occasions over the last 3 years had the opportunity to record an accident with injury as: an aggravation of a previously exsisting condition. One would want to do this in order to let the treating physician know…
  • ATRIMBLE: Does it not make common sense to provide either sunscreen protection or long sleeve clothing. Not withstanding the Fed General Duties clause tells you, we will provide a safe working environment, and for those required to work outside th…
  • It reads to me as "the physician has given you ample justification to call it a medical disqualification" and terminate. In your letter to the ee insure that you write that upon medical formal release to active full time work that your company will…
  • NeedCoffee: There is an on-line verification system that the employer may join. We are members of both the SSA program and the Basic Pilot Program. T he completion of the I-9 as a part of the enrollment process gives you every right to seek SSN …
  • Put 33% of their total compensation in a measured performance bonus system and watch them grow. With this amount of their incoming by way of the performance award bonus, they will not be a sleep at the wheel. Pay it out quarterly. Also let the sp…

  • JOANNIE: You must not be working in this world with a P & L strapped around your neck; payroll is a P & L item of interest up and down the "management chain of authority". A retail manager system of controls is 1st and formost the payrol…
  • ALLSTEAKS: I find it very strange that I have not had one single person that has been verified and hired, to then be identified as using stolen ID information. Instead, I have found that 99% of the non-confirmed have been referred and have never r…
  • Anne: Yes, and I am ready should they ever come to check. I have set up our recordkeeping, according to the plan. I have chosen to keep this program open to only me. That way I know what is being submitted and when it is submitted. I came to th…
  • ALLSTEAKS: "that is the info that is still not available to employers". What info that is not available to employers? The only info I need is "authoriztion to employee" or the "non-confirmed" and the identify of the mismatch of SSA information or…
  • DGSHR: One very important thing that you and others must remember, you can not do anything while the person is an applicant. He has recently gotten a new job, if it is not with your company, then push it aside until he is an employee of your compa…
  • ANNE:Thanks for your up-date on terminology; I have been so successful at using the program for its assigned purpose, that I have not been catching up on the news data. I spend all total about 5 minutes on the system and I strickly hit the buttons …

  • ALLSTEAKS: Yes, I have been using the "Basic Pilot Program" and I am 100% pleased with the process, the system, the checks and balances that are required to execute a good data verification of the information supplied by the new employee. There ar…
  • Melanie: Regardless of what is a concern on someone's part for why you should not discipline, it is wrong to stand behind the failure to discipline based on some protected class. Performance is performance regardless of the color of one's skin. A…
  • NaeNae55: I am not sure that the time worked is a rule of the law. I was taught by an "hour & wage auditor", that 32 hours or more worked for 16 straight weeks causes the auditor to look further into whether this employee is/was a full-time or…
    in 2 questions Comment by pork1 April 2007
  • All of the above being said and understood, I have maintained this "NO Discussion of wages" as a disruptive communication ingredient in all of the companies in which I have served. Over many years of HR experience in private companies, I have not b…
  • Shirley: Tell us more about the position and type of personalities you feel this person might present in an interview/ From these factors someone might be able to help you with a new IDEA! Have you tried to power up the current employee with a bon…

  • Hi everyone, I see my absences has not made the I-9 issues go away. For all that have not joined the crowd of us that "no longer worry about this issue". Here is a little info that might grab your ear. In the spring of 2005, I join the Basic Pi…
  • THX: Additionally, I would tell the x-employee of appeal rights and instructions on how to get the written appeal before the authority, one higher in rank/position. Next point: The signature of the letter should be the manager in charge of this em…
  • immaturity comes to my mind. This reads like a prankster or up and coming movie star. Install a video camera to see the sink area, that will help you identify. Just announce that the company has installed a camera in order to catch the person tha…
  • Lisa: Good afternoon from the warm state of Mississippi. My carrier and I do background search within the State data bank to which we as employers are authorized to view for all Worker Comp claims. Post offer, I check to see if the management tea…
