I don't know about Alaska, but having considerable experience working for the federal government and other state governments, I have to believe that if the Governor really tried to have someone fired, he would have been fired.

>How would Fox News have viewed it if the black candidate had a pregnant >unmarried teen? Nothing, because if you believe the media, it is the mother's fault for working outside the home.

Yes, we allow telecommuting and flex schedules. Employees can choose between a paid parking spot or paid bus tickets. I will be working 3 days in the office, 1 day telecommuting myself this summer.

Ahhhh... I still have my add-a-beads!

I have mixed feelings about it. I've never been a Vick fan and his actions were reprehensible. But if he serves an appropriate sentence, is it fair to ruin the rest of his life by banning him from the NFL? Does the punishment fit the crime?

Our policy reads that you must work or be on paid leave the day before and the day after the holiday. So if you think someone is legitimately sick, you can allow them to use sick leave and/or require a doctor's note, as allowable under our sick lea…

We have a program that allows donations to an individual, not a pool. Only sick leave can be donated, and only in 8 hour increments. If 8 hours is donated, the employee receives 8 hours, regardless of the differences in the rate of pay. The recei…

I found it on dol.gov - the elaws FLSA Advisor. Not sure why they only list the SW regional office, but I assume if they can't help you they can refer you to your own region's office.

Thank you Joannie - that is very helpful!

I presume you are talking about non-exempts. If you require them to take the training, then it is probably compensable time. You can find more info at [url]www.dol.gov[/url].

We have this, but so far it is optional. We encourage employees to use it, b/c it saves us money and time sorting and distributing pay stubs. One thing that has helped is that we automatically enroll new employees. But there are always going to b…

There is a DOL administrative letter ruling dated Jan 7, 2005, that says "federal courts generally find that employees who meet at least two or three of the factors mentioned above are exercising independent discretion and judgement." (Can you tell…

Do the employees that currently work in the office have the option to telecommute?
-
I haven't come across anything indicating that teleworkers should be paid less than those that work in the office...IMO, if they are doing the same job and meeting your expectations, why pay them less? The commuting expenses should not be part of t…

Thanks, I considered that test (Executive), but the positions are supervisors of teams of 3-8 trades workers...I wasn't sure if that qualified as a "department or subdivision", which is why I was also looking at the Administrative exemption.

Why not use the DOL response, or the verbiage from the DOL response: [url]http://www.dol.gov/esa/WHD/forms/WH-381.pdf[/url]

If both the father and mother work for the same employer, the employer has the right to limit their FML to 12 weeks total.
-
I assume you mean that the 12 weeks has expired? Does your company policy or state law require you to provide more than 12 weeks? W/C or ADA applicable? Did you send the employee a FML notice at the beginning of the leave, telling him that the …
-
I agree it is the employee's responsibility to get the paperwork from the doctor. If his doctor won't do it, maybe he needs to find a doctor who will.
-
I assume you have received FML certification of the need for intermittent leave. The regs state that you can request recertification every 30 days, or if the circumstances change(such as duration of absence or severity of the condition). The regs …
-
Thanks. We are dealing with a situation where an employee failed to return from FML. He called in on the day he was supposed to return to work and the day after that. But then he never submitted additional FML certification and did not contact us…

What do you think of asking for the name of the doctor, and calling the office to see if the doctor is out of town? Not asking for any medical information about the employee, just to confirm that the doctor is out of town?

-
Not for the birth of a child - the mother or father can take the full 12 weeks. There is a provision that if both parents work for the same employer, you can limit them to 6 weeks each.
-
I thought medical certification was only used for a serious health condition (i.e. if there are conditions associated with pregnancy), not birth of a child.

Virginia follows Federal FMLA...I never knew that a temporary disability (like the car accident scenario) did not qualify.
