For most of our positions (hourly), we have three levels (I, II, III). For the pay scale, it is divided into three sections that correspond to a level. So someone at level I hired at the minimum for the position can move to the top of level I pay …

I agree that you need to pay the ee for the hours worked. As far as disciplining the ee, make sure before you do that she was aware that she needed approval from her supervisor before working over her scheduled hours. If so, I agree that you need …

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-23-05 AT 03:27PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I don't understand your question. Are you saying that he was paid last year for the Christmas holiday and this year for the New Year's holiday? If you are, I wou…

I agree with Shadowfax. Additionally, we have used a service that specializes in finding people to attempt to locate ex-ees that are owed money for one reason or another. These services are fairly reasonable and have a pretty good track record. I…

I think you are okay since it appears that everyone is viewing this as something the company is not sponsoring. I do not believe that you would have to pay wages, but I would want something in writing from the ee that this is not a company sponsore…

We have an Excel spreadsheet that has to be completed on a weekly basis (by Moday afternoon). Fields include start time, end time. We subtract entries in the lunch, dinner, and personal time fields from the daily total. Travel time is not deducte…

Instead of paying mileage, we have paid for additional time over the ee's normal commute to work, if at the direction of the company. So, if they have a fifteen minute commute to work, but it takes thirty minutes to get to the main office (or where…

I think once you paid mileage and per diem, that you recognized the training as a work sponsored event. If it was truly elective, then they should not have been reimbursed for any of the costs. I would recommend paying for their time. In the futur…

If you are asking do you have to pay them to travel to the out-of-town facility and back, the answer is yes. Travel time inside the scope of the ees employment, or at the request of the employer, is considered work. As s moll stated, traveling fro…

I say you can't go wrong with gift certificates. Speak to the ees' managers to see what interests the ee. If they like the movies, get a gift certificate to a local theater with enough to buy tickets, popcorn, drinks. If they like to golf, get a …

Why separate the two if you want them to use vacation to cover time away that short term disability is designed to cover. If you want to ees to use all of their time, go with PTO and then you can make them use it for any time missed. We have vacat…

Had one where the ee wanted three days off during the Christmas holiday to attend her aunt's funeral. Problem was, the aunt's funeral was two weeks earlier.
-
I am not sure what the real issue is here. If the plan does not allow the ee to cover his ex-wife, even with a court order, then why does the ee have to get coverage outside of the group? I would let him know that the new carrier does not recogniz…

Thanks for taking the time to respond Marc! I had never thought about or encountered that situation before, but it is always good to have the answer before you have to make the decision! x:D

Marc: "FML regs require you to maintain health insurance just as if the EE is working. That means when he does not pay his portion, you can start the process that terminates health insurance." Why would failing to pay the ee portion of benefits no…
-
If they qualify for FMLA, you should make the determination to place them on FMLA leave. This prevents the ee from stacking leaves. It is perfectly legal, and I recommend running these concurrently whenever possible. If they meet the qualificatio…

I thinkn the question was clear the first time, and I think you are getting what you asked for, what other people do. I still do not see why the fact that someone is an EXEMPT SALARIED MANAGEMENT ee should pay more for insurance because of the amou…

Moon: Welcome to the forum! If you post this in the Benefits section, you will elicit more responses. IMHO, wages should not be an issue. I am sure that you have a wide range of salaries for hourly non-management positions and the idea of chargi…

No one has asked this question: If your spouse elects coverage from her employer, AND your ee wants to add the spouse to your plan in order to carry supplemental insurance, how would that effect the premium charged to your ee?
-
I would appeal, but you may still be responsible for a portion of the ee's benefits. This is an example of how the UI system is broken. As a "base period employer," in the eyes of the administrative agency, you would "share" the cost of providing …
-
I think nietra has a point. If you pay a flat rate per ee, I do not see any issue. Your provider may charge you more to cover ees in a certain age bracket, due to the higher costs associated with services needed, so the percentage of what you cont…

We give three weeks after ten, before that you get two. I want to work at JF12's company! x:D

We have short term disability that is only available for the ee to use for his or her own illness.
-
This would be FMLA retaliation because she would suffer an adverse action (a lower evaluation) because she took a federally protected leave. You need to consider, if your pay increases are tied to evals, what effect the lower eval would have on the…

Right, you can't give less than fifteen days, fifteen days is the timeframe that the government says is "reasonable," but you do not have to enforce that. We do, we have to because if we do not, we would lose track of who gave us the form and when.…

Once you give the certification form to the ee, the statute says that the er must give the ee a "reasonable" timeframe to have it completed and returned. That time period is defined as fifteen days (I believe this is also listed in the statute, I k…
