I sent off my email - I can't wait to get my old screen name back - I'm just a mwild31 kind of gal. This whole mwild3136 things is strange. Thanks! Mandi

I like this idea Paul. Maybe for those with 3,000 or more posts xB-) the prize could be an all expenses paid trip to Brentwood and ... dinner with James & company at MLS. James, make room at the table for Beag's and Ray...x:D

See, this is what I miss - the quick wit of the forumites ... it's fun to be back.

Sweet guys - love the support x:-)

Hi ritaanz - I don't know if this is what you meant or not - but I am not including myself in the "nice guys and gals" category. I only started really posting last Friday & was pleasantly surprised to see who's posting more frequently & tha…

"Thank you mwild for deciding for me what is tatseless and what isn't." TN HR - you're very welcome! As far as I'm concerned - the mass exodus you describe was exactly what the site needed. If you take a step back from the forum & look to …

Okay - here's a rant... Who said this forum was only for those who are thick skinned? Who said this forum is a place for people to call others out? Who said this forum is meant for people to tell it like it is & da*& the consequences? Wh…

I guess I was torn before Mardi Gras, but now I think they did a good job. I love New Orleans and I think they have a lot of work to do & I'm a bit frustrated with how long it's taking. I was orginally worried that the coverage would only incl…

James - I will miss you & I wish you all of the best! Please don't be a stranger to the forum & post when you can. I hope it's as TN HR says & this was a promotion! x:-)

Thanks guys! I'm not sure how much I'll be able to participate, but I'll do my darnedest! I went from a single site, non-union manufacturing company of about 101 people to a multi-site, non-union manufacturing company of about 375 people! To say …

Hi guys! What did I miss? I'll have to do some research. I had to change my "label" from mwild31 to mwild3136. It's now been 6 months since I started my new job and I love it! It was the best decision I ever made. MLS will love it too because …

Hi Betzi. At my last company, we paid OT when sick was used. At my new company, we pay OT for holidays. As others have said, it really just depends upon your policy. The good news here in WA state is that the employer sets the rules/policies, no…

Hi Sheila - After that incident, I would have immediately sent the employee home until they provided me with a releaase from the doctor saying it was okay to come back to work. At the same time, I would have also given the employee a copy of their …

Here are another couple of ideas for support: Don't forget about your EAP (should you have one). Most EAP's have a TON of information & freebies on their websites - a booth with a computer & some printed materials from the EAP is a nice to…

We are looking at 20%. Last year the company switched from a traditional PPO plan to a High Deductible (read: "consumer driven") HRA medical plan. Cigna (current company) low-balled the competitor and won the contract. Now, even though our folks…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-03-06 AT 02:47PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Hi SMace I didn't walk into your point - you missed mine. x:-) As employers, I agree, we can't just sit back and not do anything - I'm just not sure that I agree…

I have to say, I'm a naysayer. I have a real problem with this practice (although thank you SMace for outlining what your company does, because I think we'll have to do the same & I'll need a game plan). My biggest problem with the practice …

Hi SamanthaQ - "Can we deny leave time if the certification says "yes" she needs leave but the specifics of how that plays out is omitted?" Yes, as was stated above - you should deny the leave because the certification form is incomplete. Send t…

Hi Joyben - how is it that the employee is still working for you now (given her attendance) & that she hasn't heard of fmla - did she not receive a company handbook? x:-) Just wondering. Mandi

Hi T I really feel for your employee - it's a tough situation for any parent to be in & unfortunately, having been through this same situation myself with a former employee & his child - it will drag on for many years. As to your questions…

Hi atrimble - the quick answer to your question: "how long do we have to accomodate a reduced work load?" is, you can stop right now if you want to. It sounds as though his injuries occured at work and therefore, his injury is covered under worker…

Hi atrimble - I guess I'll be the oddball here and say that I think that you might be stretching it too far. "Employee's 12-year old son has been in and out of school and in and out of trouble with the law for at least a year (and maybe as much a…

Hi jeanj - here's a website: [url]http://www.boli.state.or.us/BOLI/TA/T_FAQ_Taoflaqa.shtml[/url] Maybe when beag's returns from getting his coffee, he'll respond too x:-)

This strikes me as very wrong & an example of poor judgment on the part of the COO. He brought in his own personal computer & wants the IT person to fix it. It sounds as though he intends to use this computer for work, so here lies a pro…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-08-06 AT 06:59PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Hi HRCathy - this happened to us about 4 months ago as well. An employee was caught "red handed" peeing in the mop sink. After being questioned, it turns out tha…

Mine would be 1, 3, 4 & 7. There may be a better category for it or it may be covered in charisma - but I think another category of power might be the ability to move & communicate in all circles. I can talk to the employee on the floor …

Hi plynnl - You are correct that your company is not subject to FML, federal or state, however, here in Washington we have another agency to be concerned about - the Washington State Human Rights Commission. Employers with 8 or more employees mus…

Hi durasupreme You are definitely in the right place for your question. x:) I did a quick search on the HRhero.com website and found a great article from the Virginia Law Letter that gives you the "ammunition" you need (i.e. documentation) for the …

Sorry, I have never heard of that organization. x:-) I'm curious though - guess I'll do a little bit of internet surfing tonight...
