1. We have 5 people out right now which is about average. We have about 350 employees. So that's about 1.5% or so. 2. Yes we require it but employees can either pre-pay or pay when they return as long as they discuss this with HR. 3. Sometimes.…

I don't understand what you are saying 6380514. You can use PTO in any hour increment and it does not take away the exemption. To OP - most states don't allow you to, check your state regs. If yours does, then you'll still have to have something s…

You're not required to but it is best practice.

No, I don't see how it could be FMLA. They aren't the guardian for the grandchild.

[quote user="1211426"] What if the employee does not provide the requested medical certification - but continues to take time off associated with the medical condition? The employer has provided the appropriate notices, but the employee seems to wan…

True comp time does not exist outside of public employers. However, for exempt employees you can provide them with either additional pay or with time off however your company sees fit. Just don't dock the weekly salary for that time off (which it …

I agree with TXHR. It is always the employer's responsibility to deem the leave as FMLA. Even if the employee tells you no, I don't want it, it's still your responsibility to deem it as FMLA. Think about what might happen if you then attempt any …

We go strictly by whether a course is eligible for college credit. If there is no possibility of college credit we don't pay.

I disagree about using Section 3 for name changes. that is not the purpose of Section 3 and it should not be used for that. It is just as wrong as putting List A documents in the List C section. I don't have a cite for how to handle a name change, …

You DO NOT use Section 3 to update a name change. Section 3 is only used for reverifying employment eligibility or for rehired employees. Section 3 is never used for US citizens or permanent residents. This booklet from USCIS explains it pretty …

Generally, this wouldn't be allowed. www.dod.mil/dodgc/defense_ethics/dod_oge/partwd.doc

There is no recent law that says companies must re-evaluate their employees. A couple of years ago DoL updated the regs, changed the weekly minimum salary to $455, etc. Many companies chose that time to re-evaluate their employees. I know some co…

My experience has been that you generally don't reduce your costs by dropping the broker. Most carriers are a lot more comfortable working with brokers than they do individual companies. Brokers generally develop relationships with the carriers th…

IRS has issued a great document that really answers a lot of COBRA ARRA questions. I'm assuming that your question has to do with COBRA ARRA even though I didn't see you specify that. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-09-27.pdf See Question 4 on pa…

Close, just a few clarification points.Exempt employees must be paid for any week in which they perform work. There are a few narrow exceptions:If they are on an approved intermittent FMLA leave they may take leave without pay in any increment in u…

I don't see how. It's common to grandfather in a group of employees under a prior policy. Now, if you picked and chose what employees went into which group and didn't have an valid reason for doing so such a certain class, then it would be wrong.

We use an on-line timekeeping system that's part of our HR and accounting software. Our employees can log in from any computer in the world, as long as they can get to the internet. It's a secure system.We did have a few employees that did not hav…

[quote user="TXHRGuy"] Not all courts have signed off on the DOL's new interpretation. In the past, partial day deductions were completely naughty. [/quote] I agree that there has been a battle in the courts, but to date I don't know of one case …

The PHR and SPHR are nice to haves, but definitely not must haves. I know when I've interviewed in the past most employers don't understand what PHR and SPHR actually are. Some consider them simply pieces of paper saying you were smart enough for …

This is pure curiousity on my part TX, but why wouldn't you remove them from COBRA and put them back on the policy as a "regular" employee? Isn't that one of the intents of FMLA? I would think you would have to, so that the employee is only paying…

Did you put her out on a leave and move her to COBRA for benefits? I'm curious as to how this administratively would work. So you move the employee to COBRA for a month, then you have to "reactivate" them as an active employee on FMLA so their COB…

Thanks, it's the titles of the posts. When I log in each day (every few days), any posts that are new are in bold and those that have had no activity since my last visit are grayed out a little. It makes it really easy for me to see what I haven…

We keep a file for each job we recruit/hire for. All self identifying forms are kept in that file and the info is loaded into our database for reporting purposes. No self ID forms are kept in employee files.
