Thanks for this. We are really unfamiliar with this sort of thing when it comes to California. I was trying to cover my bases from an FMLA standpoint, I didn't realize they actually received benefits other than just requesting their time off be us…

Our insurance carrier recommended that I send it out to all our participants in the Plan. Reason being is that you may have people that may not be eligible by age but are on it for disability or are thinking about it.

Perhaps you need to have an appraisal form that is tailored to each specific department then rather than just the overall core values of the company? Otherwise I agree with TXHRGuy, backing up rating with specific examples of performance helps make …

Good question! Now I'm wondering about this myself. From a morale standpoint, it would be nice to go "business as usual" but I agree...we have been tightening out belts so much around here every which way we can, only to have laid off a handful of…

This happens everywhere. I doubt it will be going away anytime soon.

I'm confused. Why would the new owners provide COBRA? As far as I know, the new owners haven't even thought that far ahead and there are no benefits available to the full time staff now.

Our employee handbook lays out the holidays that are paid and requires that the employee works the day before and the day after in order to be paid for that holiday unless they opt to use their paid vacation time or sick leave. I've never heard of t…

He is fine then and as long as your company has no problem with it, you all should be good to go. Just know that USERRA does not specifically address resignation. Though there have been legal proceedings regarding employees resigning and then wanti…

Explain to him that resigning means he is voluntarily ending his employment with your company which leads you to NOT being required to hold his position for him (or one equal to it) under USERRA. If you really want thim back, tell him that you don'…

Email sent this AM. Thanks for any insight.

As far as I'm aware, it doesn't.

I think it can be agreed upon that we are busy people and sometimes it's hard to respond to every applicant, especially if you see a deluge of resumes for one opening. It seems to me that this is why it is expected that the applicant follow up if t…

FMLA forms and documentation should never be put in the personnel record. Our office files FMLA forms in the employee's medical record which are kept in a separate locked cabinet away from the personnel files since they contain PHI. I honestly don…
-
Good question. I've never seen that brought up. I've had people tell me that they've posted notice for volunteers; I've read elsewhere about involving all employees which I'm balking at because of the fact we're not in a centralized location. We …

First of all, since the employee is laid off, they are eligible for the 35/65% subsidy because a layoff is considered involuntary so you might want to keep that in mind when presenting the eligible employee with their potential premium costs. And ye…

From what I understand, most companies show their employees to the door earlier than two weeks if they are going to work for a competitor or if there might have been some bad feelings between the company and the employee or if there could be a possi…

Edited. [:$]

I don't think I need to do anything to accomodate him as it appears to me that is being taken care of and is doing his assigned job to standard. I also don't think there was an improper medical inquiry. I just feel that the comment "He's holding h…

COBRA states that as a spouse, if the employee becomes eligible for Medicare, then yes, they have the option to continue COBRA. How that ties into the extension, I'm not sure, but I believe the spouse's time doesn't restart...they just keep going u…

[quote user="cappy"] We offer paid military leave, defined as being absent from work due to the performance of military duty on a commissioned or non-commissioned status for the following: Voluntary or involuntary basis in a uniformed service: act…
-
Yes, those instances would be for deployments. And those cases are not because of USERRA or any other federal or State mandate that I'm aware of...it's just the company being more military-friendly. That's awesome that you offer 5 days of paid time…

How long are they gone? Are you talking when they go TDY for a few weeks at a time (like their two week annual training) or are you talking something longer like mobilizations? I've never heard of a business around here paying for a reservists to ta…
-
Cappy, at least they are being proactive which is always a big plus. [:)] I wonder if they might contact their local La Leche League branch and see what they might have to offer for training materials that could be given to supervisors? In the me…

Their State might not require allowing employees to pump at work but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give them some common courtesy. At the very least, be discreet, allow her to take as many breaks necessary to pump and please offer her more than …
-
What exactly are you looking for to put in your policy? I believe some States have laws concerning BFing...(edit) and pumping too.
-
Thanks for the reply. I kind of wondered when was looking at the Who's Who website. I honestly know nothing from them aside from the fact that when I was a senior in high school, one of my classmates was apparently on the outstanding high school s…
-
Check your State's laws concerning personnel files. My State's laws are pretty, shall we say, non-existant, but others might be more in depth. What we have now is a traffic-light system. A green folder that is the official personnel file and conta…

As someone who was in for ten years and listed their NG service as prior work experience, I would say stick to questions that relate to job-related experience that the applicant may have received while serving. Maybe even "How do you think your mil…

My role at this point is to initiate the paperwork and hand it off the the appropriate supervisors to complete at their leisure, much to my dismay. This is the way they've been doing it for years, but I'm fairly new and would like to see this syste…

Thank you for asking this!! I was just about to post something similar. I'm also wondering if anyone here has a specific timeline for when evaluations should be complete. As it stands, our supervisors are supposed to complete an eval and a discu…
