I'm in WI and using the faxed documents are fine. If you are ever investigated, you can obtain the originals if necessary.

First of all, FMLA status is NOT considered PHI under HIPAA. Second, while you want to keep the reason someone is off work confidential, simply stating that someone is on FMLA leave is NOT violating any privacy issues. With that in mind, my practi…

You should not be concerned with the condition but rather the medical facts surrounding the condition. If it meets the requirements (number of doctor's appointments, continued treatment, tec.) it qualifies irregardless of what the diagnosis is. Gi…
-
You do not HAVE to have the FMLA form completed. If you have enough information from the doctor regarding the W/C injury that you can make the designation, use that. I can understand the EEs resistance to paying to get the forms completed for a wo…

Under the new regulations one of the reasons you can require recertification is if the EE is taking more leave than what was originally authorized. You also have the right to attach a copy of the EEs attendance record and require the doctor to auth…

In my opinion it becomes a safety issue. You cannot trust an employee to be completely honest with you regarding their medical condition and their ability to RTW after an illness/injury (especially if it unpaid leave) and if you do not require some…

I would recommend talking to your attorneys about this but I, myself, would not terminate the EE. This EE could come back and claim he was "forced" to admit he was under the influence but that he actually was not. Bottom line - you have no PROOF t…

When she goes to the SS office to apply for a new card she should get a slip of paper from them showing that is has been ordered and how long it will take for her to get it. I have taken this in the past and then when they get their card they have …

Back in March hubby and I spent a week in Negril, Jamaica (awesome) and next month we are going to Ontario Canda so he can spend time fishing (I don't fish - just read my books).
-
I agree with Sharon - this needs to be dealt with from a performance/disciplinary standpoint and the EE needs to come to you asking for some type of accomodation or additional time off work. What you did in this instance was give the EE an excuse f…
-
FYI - The appointment(s) to determine whether or not a serious health condition exist ARE covered under FMLA and since he has been seen by a health care provider on more than one occasion (with more to come), I would conditionally consider this as F…
-
What do his most recent set of forms say about the amount of leave he needs? Does it provide an estimation of the amount of leave? If so, does this coincide with the amount of leave he is taking? Under the new regs, the health care provider has t…

What does the employee say about all of this? Are they in agreement about the zero check? I have not heard of this being done but rather either a) having the EE give back the extra check, or b) working out some type of payback scenario. I'm think…

If the paperwork simplys states she can onlywork 40 hours, she is able to work for you. It is not up to you to take into account her other job, just what you need from her. If she comes to you and tells you that she can only have one job, make her…

In reviewing my COBRA information it states that any qualified beneficiary is eligible for an extension of up to 18 months 36 months of total coverag) if the former employee dies, enrolls in Medicare or gets divorced or legally separated during the …

If this individual is truly exempt, as others have said, he is paid for doing a job and as long as that job is getting done, there really shouldn't be an issue. If neither management nor the employee's supervisor see an issue with his attendance, I…

His FMLA runs out when he runs out of his 660 hours.
-
I think you and your COBRA administrator need to get on the same page. If you insurance company requires that you term the employee as of the date of their termination, your COBRA administrator needs to know that so they can process the paperwork a…
-
You do not have to make work for an employee simply because they might fall within ADA. You are required to engage in an interactive discussion to determine what, if any, accomodations you can make to allow the EE to perform his/her essential job f…

Section 825.204 of the new FMLA regulations addresses transferring an employee to an alternative position during intermittent or reduced schedule leave. Hope this helps.
-
Yes, you can change the duties of someone on intermittent leave and even move them to a different position if necessary as long as the benefits and wages do not change.

We do not go line by line with our training. When we introduced our handbook a couple of years ago I selected certain policies (harassment, breakroom usage, attendance, safety regulations) that I went through in detail with the employees and all we…

Don - Wanted to add a couple of "tips" from my experience with deep fried turkeys. We have been doing turkeys for several years and have always saved the oil as well. It's amazing how many people DON'T know about deep fried turkey but it only ta…

Okay here's mine (ours)... My husband and I go out and cut our own Christmas tree each year. We have many Christmas tree "farms" in our area and the majority of them allow you to cut your own tree. I like a big, fat tree but my husband always thi…

Okay I don't think those that were voted off should have been given a 2nd chance at all. I don't think it added anything to the game except maybe some additional frustration. I don't like Lil and I think Jon is a snake. Burton will probably take …
-
I agree with letting Lil go but I haven't seen Dara "shine" either. The whole Morgan tribe just can't seem to get it together. If things continue the way they have been the past 3 weeks, there won't be much of a "merge". As far as Drake "throwing…

I have numerous family members and friends who have gotten tattoos in recent years - my mom even had a teddy bear tattooed on her back! The strangest, and probably most painful, one I have seen is one my uncle had done on his neck - a spiderweb (ju…

Although my company doesn't do any of these "pranks", my sister-in-law who is the GM of a large hotel recently told me of one she did to avenge what was done to her on her birthday - On the birthday of her Food and Beverage Director she, along wit…

We threw a surprise party for my mother when she turned 50 and did the same thing with the pictures - she LOVED it!!! It was fun to listen to her reminisce (sp?) with friends and family and the others got involved as well when they saw THEMSELVES a…

Loved 'em!
