  • I have a problem with the fact that a company can profit from my death. Let's turn this into a Lifetime movie; if the business starts struggling will employee's begin to die?

  • Yes, House Bill 203 which took effect 3/15/01 prohibits employers from terminating an employee who is a volunteer firefighter or volunteer provider of emergency medical services when that employee misses or is late to work because of an emergency to…

  • Thanks to everyone who responded. We are going to make a revision to our policy that will provide us with the opportunity to address abuse situations. When this associate was counseled previously, we offered to change his schedule so that he could…

  • Wage and hour laws only require overtime to be paid for hours worked over 40. Based on that, you would not be required to pay overtime because the time spent on jury duty was not work time, even though you paid her for it. Check your state laws to…

  • I can't help you with PA law, however, there was a House Bill 203 that became effective on March 15, 2001 that changed the Ohio Revised Code. This bill prohibits an employer from terminating an employee who is a volunteer firefighter, or volunteer …

  • Part 391.25 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR)covers the annual review of drivers. There are some exemptions from this rule listed in subpart G of that section. If you don't have a copy of the regs, I'd be happy to fax this pa…

  • I never read work related material at bedtime. My goal is to escape from my world for a while and visit others. I just finished "Katrina's Wings" about a young girl growing up in the south during the 1970's.

  • I believe this practice could be viewed as discriminatory as it is just offered to pregnant women. We provide short term disability insurance to our associates, and cover maternity leave under that. As long as the physician determines them to be d…

  • When an employee got upset with me because I told him he had to stop hazing new associates, which included wrestling them down on a cement floor and beating their behinds (good naturedly of course). He told me it was fun, and I was ruining their fu…
    in frustration!!! Comment by Frenchie June 2001
  • We don't disclose why an associate has left, however we do make a company-wide announcement that the associate is no longer employed here. That way, if the terminated associate comes on premise our associates may be more cautious because they would…
    in Notifying Other Staff of Employee that's Terminating Comment by Frenchie June 2001
  • I'm not sure about legal liability, but if I were that individual I wouldn't want to work for a company that wouldn't honor my request for confidentiality. His current position could now be at risk, and at this point he doesn't even know that you'r…

  • Thanks for your response. I'm not looking for a way to terminate this individual, however I do feel we need a policy that protects our interest and is fair to all associates.
