  • Leslie - It is amazing - I looked into this same situation late last week! The responses you have been getting are what I have also learned. Word to the wise...be consistent! Good luck!
  • Thanks for tip - My stress level was already up - that's why I needed advise on where to find out more before we did a deeper hole by ignoring it. Jackie
  • I was glad to see so many positive responses. We tried this for the 1st time this year in our office. Just a small group participated, but it was refreshing. Our company was recently purchased and we have had a lot of "unknowns", business has slo…
  • Margaret - could you fax me copies also? Fax # is 319-524-7290, Attn: Jackie Rector. Thanks so much!
  • I did not mention FMLA or ADA to her specifically. My Corporate HR Manager advised me not to bring that into the picture at this time. I know it will still have to be dealt with. We did explain to her why the 2 jobs that were still available could…
  • Seniority is by classification, with employees in class. 6 & below (she is 5) equal. She can't bump into another job class because they are higher class. We have decided to put her on involuntary layoff. We will still have to deal with the ADA…

  • Thanks for all your responses! It always gives me more confidence to proceed in these matters. Jackie in Iowa
  • I also enrolled in local community college SHRM class. Our passing rate was 100% - much better than the 65% overall rate. The class is well worth the time and money. But be prepared to study & forget about those TV shows! I have a greater re…
  • We have used Voluntary Layoffs regularly - even with Salary employees. For Salary employees, we require them to take off a full pay period (we get paid 2x per month) so that payroll runs smoothly. Our Salary employees usually don't want more than …
  • No - we have only had them sign agreeing to allow a deduction from severance for any hours not worked before their layoff became effective. Have requested review by corporate counsel - unfortunately they are slow to respond. While I was waiting, I…
