We allow a 30 day grace period, you have to allow at least this amount, and this is spelled out in the FMLA paperwork that they have. If they fail to make their payments within the 30 day grace, then their insurance is canceled. Fortunately, I have…

We adjust the PTO in either direction. You need to be willing to do either or neither...we all know how doctor's appts can be. However, we also have 200 employees, so it is not that big of a problem.
-
Definitely count towards FMLA...agree with the previous posters!

The fact that she is returning to work VERY part time would not allow her to have benefits with us. Your obligation is to return her to work in her former position, but it seems to me that unless you needed her to work only 2 hrs then you had fulfi…

It's a sad day when it is the HR dept that is in need of sensitivity training, esp. when all this case needs is just your run of the mill, everyday compassion...

She definitely needs to have the certification filled out completely, preferably by a specialist, because, as already mentioned many people claim to have migraines. There is a battery of tests that will need to be done to confirm the fact that she …

If an employee is cleared by WC to come back to light duty but not the same or equivilant position, the employee can decline the light duty assignment and take any remaining unpaid FMLA leave. They would lose WC payments, though. See code 825.207…

The employee would no longer be required to care for the parent once the parent is in the nursing home, would they? It is my understanding that the initial consultations and transfers to the home are covered, but visitation once the parent is in th…

There is nothing in FMLA that allows for making up time. Even if they make it up,it can be charged against their 12 week allowance. They just have to be allowed to take their FMLA leave (they have to be able to go for treatments and they cannot be …

How is she able to work as a substitute? Perhaps the father of the child is able to care for the child on certain days and times due to whatever work he does. FMLA does not prevent moonlighting at a second job for reasons such as varying childcare…

Rockie is correct. You need to treat all FMLA leave the same or the company is opening themselves up for discrimination claims. I recommend you read the policy available to members on this website. Most companies require employees to use any accr…

In HR, you will have situations in which you have access to health information that is not protected by HIPAA such as FMLA paperwork, insurance information for claims problems, etc. Keep these separate from personnel files and you will be fine.

Thanks for the insight...I will try it out!

I agree with Parabeagle. In my past life in the restaurant industry, we had a policy about behavior when wearing anything in public that would represent the company. If you don't have a policy, you can put one in place which might be a good idea i…

what is your email address or fax number? I can send you a few.

Absolutely (have the manager) let him know that his requests for time off are denied. Let him know that if he misses work and does not have any PTO to cover the absences that he will be terminated. Make him sign such a statement. In the same conv…

Wow! I haven't checked the forum for a week and look what happens! I have found the forum as an excellent source of information as well as a good laugh now and then. Also, as HR people, don't we have to be able to take the tough knocks? I think i…

I agree with Whatever...our employee's use accrued vacation time to attend religious conferences. These are usually outside the usual requirements of church attendance, etc.

Try this website: [url]www.fedworld.gov[/url] and type in Fair Labor Standards Act for your search. You can get more specific info there. It is a law with several qualifiers and has recently been changed. I am going to listen to an audio seminar…
-
Regardless of whether it is WC or FMLA, you should use accrued sick time (hopefully you already have a policy in place that states this) I like Margaret's ideas!
-
Our company does the same thing as far as taking from PTO bank. It is our policy, not a law, however. We do not do this for exempt employees (unless it is FMLA) as that is illegal. We also do not allow ee's to use PTO time to cover tardies.
-
I agree with the beginning part of PAhr's comments. I would be cautious about taking them women out or meeting with them to hear complaints or concerns about the company. Regardless of your personal feelings, you work for the company in an HR capa…

There is a policy available on this site as well. We also have a policy in place. We especially do not allow emails from outside the company due to potential viruses. We had someone open one last year and we were down for 2 days! In our industry…
