  • Thanks for the info Margaret- Tom
  • Yes, the difficulty here is that this employee could be providing support in the form of managing affairs, etc. not necessarily at the nursing home. Seems like it would be very difficult to prove that he is not providing that support, don't you thi…
  • Terri- I probably would agree with that decision especially since it appears that the choices were between sick and vacation time. If there was a third choice of personal time, this would be more accurate. Good reason to lobby for PTO time. The …
  • Don D- On the Certification of Healthcare Provider forms from the U.S. Dept of Labor, diagnosis is not asked for, or can't be asked, correct? If possible, I would appreciate any employee medical certification forms used by other employers for non…

  • would suggest to her that this past issue is over and done with. Remind her that you employ her to do a job. If she opts not to perform that job, you will accept her resignation.
  • We too have a drug testing policy for our CDL holders- we have a policy that following a positive drug test, an employee must go to the EAP for counseling etc. before they are returned to work. A 2nd positive test result within a 5 year period resu…
  • Can anyone comment further as to how they handle matters such as these in their organization? Also, what info is on the medical forms they use for medical leaves of absence, disabilities, workers comp etc. If desired I can fax copies of our form f…
  • It would be appreciated if this matter could be re-visited as I have had another challenge our practice of requiring medical information of our employees at time of request of leave of absence, disability, workers compensation, return to work or at …
