Food for thought: Any of us could simply "disappear" without notice--at any time. Of course, proper notice would be a considerate act for fellow forum friends, should the opportunity present itself. I, for one, hope to continue reading of the r…

It sounds like it's time to get out the ol' reliable bicycle! Look out Local Residents, here I come!!!!

>A young lady came in with an American flag sewn on the back of her shorts. I was asked ... to accompany her into the bathroom for her to remove the flag.... Now there's an HR task I'd much prefer to avoid. There's no end to the roles we fill …

These are great! Thanks for sharing.

I haven't heard most of these. Some are simply hilarious!!! Brought a serious case of the chuckles to my afternoon. Thanks for passing them on.

NOW I know who Paul is! He's the guy from my beautiful home state who's buying everyone donuts!!!

It may not be illegal, but it is clearly biased. Certaily it makes good sense to support parents' relationships with their children's schools; but, why not have a benefit which more broadly supports family values; one that is accessible to all your…

...the rest of the story.... Was this a test?

Regardless of automatizing the 1/2-hour lunch break, it's still important to enforce the policy that everyone is expected to take their full 1/2-hour lunch, and that OT must be pre-authorized. Once that expectation is in place, and communicated to …

I agree with cthr's comments. It seems to me some time invested in enhancing communication between the supervisor and subordinate(s) regarding policy and expectations would be beneficial. Is there a policy? Is it clear; available, &c?

The best thing you can do at this point is talk with the employee. First of all, share with her what you've heard--that her wrists are bothering her and she's been seeking relief in the mailroom. Explain that you're concerned about her well-being,…

I don't know anything specific about NJ; however, we use the form from the feds for our FMLA certifications in Oregon State government. [url]http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/whd/fmla/wh380.pdf[/url]

Absolutely too early to terminate! However, to keep things moving forward, the person responsible for FMLA should send her a certified letter directing her to report to work on date certain, or to provide a doctor's certification regarding her need…

The FMLA regs define a "serious health condition" in a number of ways; one of which includes "Continuing treatment" by a health care provider which includes any one or more of the following: a period of incapacity (i.e. inability to work); treatmen…
-
And be sure you make it clear to the employees, in writing, that their right to reinstatement applies only at the time their FMLA protection ends -- not beyond that date. If you clearly inform them so, then if they choose to remain off longer, they…

Frustrating? Yes. Recourse: limited. This is further justification that HR Analysts (by whatever title) should periodically be booked by their employer for CRUISES in the Bahamas, (and anywhere else, for that matter) -- just to ensure there isn'…

I support Sunny's summary -- (I'm glad I don't have a lisp).

I would say, Yes, very likely so, since you're one company. This would likely be seen as the company's policy.
-
Since there are no "medical indications" (which presumably means there is no medical basis) to stop working, there is no "serious health condition". In which case, I wouldn't start her FMLA until the same date as the insurance physician certified t…

I've encountered this "exploitation/opportunism," as well. I too reside in a small rural town. Previously, in "the city," where I worked before moving here less than a year ago, I had never encountered this issue. Frankly, I think it's wrong. I …

Thank you, all! Your discussion on this issue has been most helpful.

>FMLA..., under absolutely normal pregnancy situations, does not >extend to the parents of adult children WHO ARE LIVING INDEPENDENTLY AND ARE OR HAVE BEEN PREGNANT. Are you saying that IF the pregnant daughter lives at home with her parent…

Thank you, Theresa! Your response is right on point for the clarification I need!! ...and thanks to all who responded; this Forum is a great resource!!!

I believe vacation days count (in the same manner weekends count) provided the employee's "serious health condition" continues as originally certified by his health-care provider.
-
Since I presume you would be returning to work the remaining 40 weeks of the year (52-12=40), you would probably need to recertify. If you did not return and work enough hours to qualify, recertification would obviously be moot. Without new cert…

Unemployment decisions in my State are based on their own set of rules and requirements, which often seem unrelated to standards of cause and progressive discipline. Basically, in this scenario, since the former employee had the opportunity of cont…
