Thanks, I believe she is legal. I'm just not sure about employment status, we probably aren't on solid ground. Her permanent resident status is still pending, but we've thought she'd have any time now...for a long time.

I've been trying find out for some time if we are "legal" in continuing to employ someone on "indefinite asylum status." She has worked for us for 12 years. Her employment authorization has been from year to year. September 2001 was approved to …

It's been pretty quiet. They are still short on signatures, I heard they needed 20 more. The primary "organizer" is now requesting FMLA and if she's not here, I expect it to die out. As far as upper management blaming others, I expect the same tr…

Tried your link, it came up "this page cannot be displayed." I'll try another time. Thanks.

Thank you. My concern too. This guy is one of the top, best known employment attorneys in the region. I was surprised to even get to talk with him on the phone. One day at a time...this one is about over, thank goodness.
-
My sentiments exactly, go out with a bang! It's been quiet for several days over the holiday. I talked with the attorney, who recommend a "wait and see" approach. No organizers at the gate as far as I can see. He recommended I walk around a lot…

Hey guys, I didn't say I agreed with what was done at some previous place in Florida where my CEO worked. (I don't know what his role was then.) I agree that inviting them in would be sending the wrong message, although he says they voted it down in…

This was years ago and I honestly don't remember details, except that I sent in the same things Kent mentioned and kept the master file in the office. We were a small office and I never encountered any problems. Good luck with what sounds like a m…

If there is no HR on site, who would maintain the file? Years ago, I was "office mgr." for a branch office of a national firm. I maintained the personnel files on-site. All I sent to corporate was what they needed to set up payroll.

I agree with Pork, document the actions taken and move on.

The SHRM learning materials I used to prepare for the SPHR 3 years ago say that federal contractors with contracts of $100,000 or more must follow certain requirements to certify they are maintaining a drug-free workplace. Do a search on Drug-Fre…

Is that 50 or more enrollees in the FSA? or your health plan? I'm interpreting it as the FSA, but want to be sure. Also, this is the first I've heard that enrollment forms are considered PHI. Anyone have more clarification?
-
Question...fully insured plan. All you do is enroll employees and review bills. You aren't required to comply with HIPAA, so you wouldn't develop a privacy notice would you? Whose privacy notice do you issue? I'm confused.
-
Exactly. It is a criminal background check form and states that the information will be used only for that purpose.
-
Nothing at all. That's why they are separated before the hiring authority sees them. However, the state nursing home licensing act requires this information be obtained before hiring. The State has a mandatory application form we have to use. Th…

The Okla. State Dept. of Health requires nursing homes to use a standardized application form for nursing assistants. It asks for SS#, birthdate, race, everything...along with a signature line authorizing the employer to do a background check. It e…

Good job! Wish I could tell our employees that, but they'd all move to Florida. Unfortunately, Oklahoma still has a high risk population including an outbreak at another nursing home in Ok City that made national news, so I'm sure we'll be doing th…

Dear Don, you must have been repressing a bad experience. It's okay, I'm so grateful to know you are human. You're usually 100% right, I always look to you for the answers. Thanks.

Don, are you talking TB or Hepatitis B? The Hep B vaccine is very expensive. OSHA does require either the injections or proof it was offered and declined. "Blood-borne pathogens" regs... I'm not sure if it applies to everyone or just high-risk ind…
-
We also require annual TB tests (given by an injection under the skin)of all employees. Our state health department will provide them free of charge also. In Oklahoma, if you require something of an employee, you must pay for it. However, you can …

That's true. Our jobs are the last to be eliminated. I've dealt with so much change, 4 CEOs in 5 years. After a full year, I can't figure out exactly where I stand with the most recent one. I've never felt insecure about my position before! How…

Interesting discussion to stumble onto today. I drove through McDonald's this morning with an obvious trainee at the window...mature woman, and thought to myself that I'm ready to take my paltry age 62 retirement (in 6 months) and work at McDonald'…

Thank you so much. Nothing like waiting till the last minute, is there?

Gayle, I would also appreciate anything you are willing to share. We are a health care facility and another dept. handled all the compliance related to our residents, but nothing about the employees! My email is [email]holley@epworthvilla.com[/emai…

bgreene, I recently learned, thanks to this forum, that because of our FSA we have to comply. Carey graciously shared info with many of us, so be prepared to share with several. I'd love to see your Non Retaliation policy if you'd email to me: [em…

Oh great! I've been merrily going along thinking I didn't have to comply because of our fully insured plan, now you tell me because we have a FSA, I have to comply!! Help. Carey or someone gracious, please send the information to me also, [email]h…
