  • I would send a follow up letter telling her the doctor's form said she could be out until 6/28, but her FMLA is only until 6/18. At that time you will [U]consider [/U]her need to be out further (until 6/28). Giving her a week or two beyond her FML…
  • Here is my take: First, if you feel more information is needed you can return the form with such a request. In our case, we would consider consultation with specialists as the first step in the treatment plan. After all, what else can her doctor …
  • Something the article doesn't mention is how hard he was kicked? Did it leave marks on his clothing? A simple tap with the side of the foot that left no mark is one thing. I hard kick with a pointed-toe boot is another, especially if I am wearing…
  • Thank you, Tony! I am very excited to have some sort of super hero tattooed to my arm. Of course, since my girls have heard mostly negative remarks from me regarding tattoos I may look a bit like a hypocrite. Would it be possible to still get my …
  • Over time companies tend to modify their logos. What happens then? What happens if the company is bought out? I hope the employees have something in writing to cover them for uncertainties.
  • Welcome to the forum! Unless a promise was made or is in your policies somewhere that employees can go back to old positions when new ones do not work out, you can discipline this employee up to and including termination. Your best bet is to remin…
  • I was just starting to worry about Rob as he has been at my window all morning without once running into it. I was wondering if I was mistaken, and that he had not actually fallen from the nest and landed on his head or caught some neurological dis…
  • Hot! It is snowing here and has been most of the day. I am happy to send some your way Nevada.
  • Admit it Nevada, you just wanted some of my virtual cocktail.
  • Good. It is only about 6-7 months. I was afraid it had gone on for several years. Your letter sounds good. I think you may want to discuss possible options with the employee and her supervisor. Your best option, would be to pay everything out i…
  • Yikes! Any idea how long this has been going on? That might make a difference as to what you should do.
  • Um..I spoke to soon. The sun is back out and Rob is once again repeatedly flying into my window. Poor thang.
  • Rob (I named him Robin and we call him Rob) was here all morning. He has been here all day since last week. This afternoon, however, he is nowhere in sight. I don't think that is because he has moved on, even though he is starting to eat up to 20…
  • Yes, several people have told me he thinks I'm his mom. This morning I thought he was gone as I only saw a big black bird, but while I was typing this he returned. I am SOOOO lucky. O:) Actually, as long as he doesn't spend the day banging on …
  • There has been some serious chuckling around here too. BTW, Robin is still outside my window today. I took the plastic down before I left Friday, and he must have spent the weekend trying to fly into my office. There are plenty of marks on my win…
  • It is almost 2:30 and it is still sitting there, crouched low and fluffed up (it's kind of cold outside today). I just put some birdseed on the sill but he is leaving it alone as he did the bread. I think something is wrong with this poor little R…
  • I got here about 8:15 and the little guy was out there. By 9:45 I was starting to go a little crazy myself. I started talking to other employees, who mostly came in and laughed or expressed concern for the poor bird. We closed and open the blinds,…
  • Congratulations! You luckily got rid of a dishonest employee with very little effort and no unemployment claims. BTW, thank you for the update. We are often left wondering how things turned out so updates are great.
  • Oh! I misunderstood your post. I thought you meant no-cap leave. I have seen two ways of changing leave types work with little fuss. One was to roll the old into the new based on some calculation, and the other was to have employees use the first …
  • I disagree with dwertz on one point. It is an ADA issue if the employee is considered temporarily disabled and needs more time off. Even if an employee uses 12 weeks of FMLA you could be required to give them an extra week or two as an ADA accomod…
  • I don't think anyone has unlimited PTO these days. Speaking from an accounting point of view, it is a bad idea. Your liabilities could become outrageous. Then if you have a bad year and your long term high accumulation employees leave, you are in…
  • I assume you have at least 15 employees, so must do ADA. Do you have enough to be under FMLA? Do you have employee policies that state how employees are to handle absences and have they been clearly communicated to her? David is right, but the …
  • If he has gone there to work and been paid by his home store employer he might have a case. In that case probably the employer in Store 2 could be paying Store 1 for the loan of an employee. It depends on the work involved, etc. Duties that fall …
  • The employee probably wanted to make some extra money, but if it was as an independent contractor the owner should have been clear about the rate, etc. He can have the 2nd company cut a check, and it won't be overtime. But, he is asking for backla…
  • Are these dealerships under the same tax ID number? Is the work the same work he does at the home dealership? Are there any other owners? Was he required to do this by his home dealership, or was it voluntary?
  • I would start with confidentiality and trust. Even if the arrest was in the newspaper and for a horrible crime, it is not up to her supervisor to broadcast it. If anything, the supervisor should have downplayed the event to protect the employee fr…
  • Agee with Sonny, follow your regular policies and make sure the employee has a doctor's authorization to return to work with or without restrictions before she returns. I have a question though. Don't your policies require employees to let you kno…
  • I just read another article on this, which makes the CVS plan much like ours. At the end of the article, however, it said employees with bad numbers will be given a year to improve them or "you may have few health options to choose from next time y…
  • The article is confusing. It states you have to do this to get the job, but then states it is for employees. Are they asking for health risk assessments before people are hired? It didn't really look that way, but why say you have to disclose you…
  • I think he probably did this from his phone in a rush, but he was definitely arrogant. Actually, he was in his resume a little, but every once in a while I come across someone who is really good at producing results, but not necessarily good at mak…
