this practice could jeopardize their exempt status because their pay would be affected if they had no time left in their PTO bank. deductions from pay can't be part of the disciplinary process because the infractions aren't serious enough. disciplin…

the conservative approach is for the company to begin the interactive reasonable accommodation process (because the employee has asked for a reasonable accommodation and has provided documentation from a doctor that he has a disability). the job acc…

basically the americans with disabilities act requires that for an employer to exclude an employee from the workplace based on a disability, the employer must obtain objective evidence that the employee poses a direct threat and determine that there…

does the contract require 60 days of notice?

keep in mind that these ex-employees can take advantage of the cobra subsidy if there is a gap between the end of their health plan and the beginning of their spouse's health plan. you could require that the employees sign an affidavit stating that …

be sure to check your state law, the healthcare plan documentation, and any collective bargaining agreement before proceeding. the employee may be eligible for COBRA coverage. but i am not sure if the employee would qualify for the current COBRA su…

i have never heard of such a thing as a requirement for a COBRA Premium Subsidy Poster. there are new notice requirements for the cobra subsidy but the feds provided model notices for us http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/COBRAmodelnotice.html

it is legal to require medical clearance from employees that go to Mexico for work or personal vacation?

i can address two of those questions. 1. if the leave is unforeseeable employees must adhere to your usual and customary notice requirements for requesting leave. they must follow your usual call-in procedures. employees must make a “reasonable effo…

why would the insurer care why they chose to keep the names they were born with? a lot of people do this. i don't see the point of asking why. are you asking if the insurer can request proof of marital status?

Thanks IT. Has House Bill 1269 or 902 moved anywhere yet? Nine days of sick leave sure seems like a lot for an employer of 16 employees.

i think the eligible employee would be paid the 6 weeks of benefits for bonding leave under the the New Jersey Family Leave Act as long as the leave started within a year of the birth or adoption placement of the child. this is from the state - "Beg…

i apologize for the delayed response. in the legislation there is information on what needs to be included in the notice so that may help you. i copied it below. most employers will have to offer the "premium assistance" to laid off workers beginnin…

the legislation itself has a definition of an eligible person: "Assistance eligible individual.--For purposes of this section, the term ``assistance eligible individual'' means any qualified beneficiary if-- (A) at any time du…

the keys to recordkeeping are making sure it is in compliance with the law and are consistent. so make sure your practices are both (it's hard to tell from your question whether they are). i don't think the law changes how long we have to keep recor…

interesting question. you have other options so be sure to consider them. for one you could freeze salaries for everyone but your best performers. another is freeze all salaries and put money toward bonuses for your best performers. bonuses are ea…

i don't think your company's plan will be effective as it pertains to copying on both sides of paper. asking employees to print one page at a time so they can flip over and copy on the other seems just sort of the tedious thing that won't get done. …

if her job has no pressure and demands how do you know she "tends to fall apart under pressure"?

this type of policy switch could cause some headaches. putting aside the legality of it what about employee morale and the practicality of it? the first question employees will ask is why now? current employees may balk at a request for background c…

the government tracks the cost of living through the consumer price index which is what is used to make the adjustments you mention. there is a national number, regional numbers, and numbers for a bunch of local markets. so you have some choices to…

i think an employee handbook is very important, but it must be well-crafted. the handbook will spell out your company's expectations and describe what your employees should expect. it will help ensure your managers follow the rules of your organiz…

no we have never experienced that issue. you should look into the that country's rules on immigration/employment to see your obligations on notifying it of a change in employment status just in case that former employee plans to claim to be employed…

what type of law do you want to know about? are you dubious--i certainly would be--about the claimed hours and want to take some type of action against the employees? first, i would check with the employees to see why they entered the hours that way…

the deifnition of parent in the fmla is "the biological parent of an employee or an individual who stood in loco parentis to an employee when the employee was a son or daughter." the definition of son/daughter is "a biological, adopted, or foste…

i actually think the ruling is much narrower than the media is reporting. the court seems to say that the police department would have been all set if it had stuck with its formal policy. if it had, the employee wouldn't have had an expectation of …
