Sounds like a lazy doctor. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

I was thinking about this driving in to work today (Man I need a life). Okay if it really should not be FMLA tell her so, but approve a leave of absences. Plain and simple you will lose this employee if you do not. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloon…

"or over 18 but incapable of caring for herself due to a mental or physical disability". Would a 25 year old post brain surgery be considered incapable for caring for herself? I am curious. DJ The Balloonman

Do they expect a possibly single 25 year old to take care of themselves after brain surgery? Believe me I am the first one to say "fire them!" however I do not think I would have a problem with this request. I am not getting soft, and I am not an …

I would look at the first day back as the 30th day, evaluate their previous performance and terminate if that is appropriate assuming documentation is in order. That or just because they turn in the request on day 29 does not mean you have to rule …

Thanks Linda. Funny thing is now, when I am recruiting a candidate for a sales or office job I explain to them I turned down a large company to come here, and about how I was treated when this happened. Goes a long way in letting them know what w…

I want tell you how I look at it. I began work mid August and right before Thanksgiving my grandfather died. Funeral the following week as the grandkids could not get back from around the country as it was the Thanksgiving weekend. Missed 4 days,…

I would question why the employee is needed to care for the father for those 8 weeks? And I would touch base with the gov't as suggested since if it were me I would be denying the FMLA request. x:D Since it is the same 8 weeks I don't buy it. My …

Well if this person has been good and not abused it, just give him the okay. Based it on she is not able to drive herself, and don't sweat it. I don't know that you can go wrong when you have a terminal issue. I would also remember that if someon…

I have run in to similar issues before and I did not accomodate, as we did not accomodate non work related restrictions. Caught hell initially untill I got the union steward to understand that I was treating her the same as everyone else. She ende…

I worked at a place that when my wife was expecting and was told "that if the baby is born on Tuesday you are expected to be back Wednesday morning." (It was a meat plant, and we were having a difficult time reaching an agreement for time off. Bra…

When in doubt call the ambulance. They individual can always refuse treatment. I would also not allow them back to work until they provided a note from their physician stating they are good to return to work. My $0.02 worth! DJ The Balloonman

A last chance agreement, outlining what they must do to keep their job. Pretty stringent, will email one to you that I have been using. My $0.02 worth! DJ The Balloonman

Okay, Listen, if there are witnesses they will be trotted out at the first meeting with the union. But use this knuckle heads own stupidity against them. When you meet, get them to discuss everything from the beginning, you may even insuate that …

Yeah a mistake..........those chain of custody stickers, the forms, the screen test followed by the second test after an initial positive...... Fire them. The only mistake was hiring them. :-) My $0.02 worth! DJ The Balloonman

Right now I am not a suscriber. Hey James, during the free 3 month trial period will I be able to use the forum and the web site? My $0.02 worth! DJ The Balloonman

I really don't think there is much you can do. You could have a repayment agreement signed when you send him to training. So if he leaves you can recoup part of the costs. Besides, could be years before they have kids, or if you are lucky she wi…

We currently have someone looking for a job. This started after a poor review. We have already decided to replace her, and are accepting resumes. We were fortunate in posting for a position below her we are getting many others, who are probably o…

As long as all of your documentation is in order you should be fine. ADA does not protect her, she is not disabled, and in fact, back to work full time no restrictions. As long as you have sound business reasons, and are not impacting a single pro…

I won't argue with that ritaanz, so tell me how many injuries do you have that should have never happened? Caused by brain farts? My $0.02 worth! DJ The Balloonman

Maybe I should have been more clear. I am giving a presentation to an member organization, not my own of which I have no control over who attends. The topic, is safety incentives. I am not preaching their virtues, but putting forth the pro's and …

Nah the OSHA guy(s) attend these meetings on a semi-regular basis, so he is not looking to cause trouble. Fact is my presentation should not get his feathers in an uproar. If it does, we can discuss it afterwards......not going to allow him to dis…
