I, too, had the same problem yesterday morning but it cleared up in the afternoon. Now--no problem!

I eat low-carb. Basically I have eliminated most items made with white flour like white breads, pasta, etc. I have also eliminated vegetables high in carbs like potatoes, corn, etc. It isn't hard because there are so many more low-carb choices I …

Colorado for me. It's as close to heaven as I can get when I'm up in the "Fourteeners" (14,000 feet elevation that is). The pine smell is heavenly too.

There's a foot doctor is our area named Dr. Tozzi (pronounced "toe-sy"). Also an OB/GYN named Dr. Butt. I would definitely change the name "Butt".

I would have missed my hair blower and water for my shower. Fortunately the power came back on before I needed the hair blower and my area was able to maintain the water flow. What an experience though!

8:45 a.m. EST Sunday. I've already read the paper, watered the lawn and flowers and here I sit. Have I nothing better to do either?

I'm in Cleveland. Our power returned at 4:00 a.m. so I figured everyone else had power too. Went to work bright and early and lo and behold, our building was the only building in the area with no power. Everything else around us was all lit up. …

My grandparents came from Europe in the early 1900's. When they got here they didn't want to speak their native language--they wanted to learn English and after a fashion they did. They also insisted that their five girls learned and spoke English…

We have employees who refer to "my attorney" as well. I want to know how someone making slightly over minimum wage can keep an attorney on retainer. I make a lot more than that and I can't afford it!

I like Sky Bars. They're hard to find these days and I miss them!
-
Same here! The men in my office are all very overweight and sit at their desks sweating so of course they turn the AC way down. I have a space heater which I run constantly. I also have to dress like it's the middle of winter and can't wear any l…

Have you checked with your carrier? What do they say?

We are allowing hourly and salaried non-exempt employees to use a vacation day for Friday if they would like to be paid or they can take the day with no pay. Of course our exempt workforce will be paid for the entire day.
-
Be careful of making someone exempt just for this reason. You must follow the guidelines of the FLSA for their position to change someone from non-exempt to exempt.

Earned vacation--that is, accumulated vacation--is considered payable as final compensation in Ohio. Pro rata vacation pay, on the other hand, unless specifically called for under some condition in a labor agreement, employee handbook, or other con…

As long as you only provide enrollment/termination information to the insurance company, are not self-funded, and see no more than summary information (nothing identifiable) you do not have to comply with HIPAA. Any employee health information you …

You may want to contact your health insurance carrier. Mine was nice enough to provide a booklet entitled "Continuing Health Care Coverage ~ An employer's guide to continuing health care coverage for former employees and their beneficiaries". This…

We would pay while the employee is off for just the two weeks. However, when the employee is called to active duty they are then eligible for COBRA or the insurance provided by the military.

OK, let's say the company does provide the vest for this person. What do we say to other employees who question this person's use of this vest? We can't tell other employees about this particular employee's condition, so what would you recommend w…

Mentel: If someone is on FML it is my understanding that the employer cannot contact the physician. That has to be done by a third party, correct?
-
I did tell this person that when she calls in she must specify family and/or medical leave when giving her reason for not coming in. I will inform her again and let her know that if she merely states "sick" it will not fall under FML. Thank you fo…

Unfortunately when our employees run out of days the company won't do anything. I know that's bad but that's just the way it is here.
-
We have the same problem in our manufacturing facility. Unfortunately our people on FML don't seem to care whether the time is paid or unpaid. I don't know how they do it! This entitlement just screams ABUSE and I wish someone would fix it.
-
I require the certification from everyone taking FML. That way there can be no accusations of any wrongdoing. Do for one--do for all.
-
I have two employees currently on FML using STD. One employee's doctors informed us on the STD form that the employee would be out until a specific date which is 6 weeks beyond his FML expiration. The other employee's doctor did not indicate on th…

I suggest you attend a good seminar on the FMLA. There are so many dos and don'ts that you really need some good guidance in this area. As most HR people do you probably are inundated with flyers from companies that hold seminars in your area. Pi…

PORK--mushroom did state that hair would have to come from someplace else but her company felt it was too invasive to go there!

I thought it permissible to dock a non-exempt salaried worker's pay for a partial day. In otherwords, if they only work part of the day you only have to pay them for hours worked plus any PTO they may want to use. However, in certain instances it …
