  • The EMPLOYER is the guilty party? I'm suprised at you, Don.

  • Couldn't you just have the employees work on a fill-in basis for the other company? Then you wouldn't have to pay extra for the employment agency. You mentioned keeping head count to a minimum, so I may be missing something.
  • You cannot bill an employee's insurance and write off the rest; you must write off the entire amount. We are an imaging center and any service we provide for our employees is free. It's also free for their spouse and children.
  • Wow - we here on the left coast,(Washington), have always been able to use sick leave for the care of a child under the age of 18. I personally don't think this is a bad law. Furthermore, a law was passed effective 1/1/03 which permits an employee …
  • Thank you for the information; I found our state's site. I was doing it correctly; the employee's doctor submits the claim to L&I and I complete the employer section when I receive it. We don't have an insurance company that administers this ins…
  • Just curious...When an employee has been injured, I have never contacted workers comp; they contact me by sending a form I complete. They learn of the injury through the employee's doctor, who submits the claim to L&I (workers comp). Am I miss…
  • Was your wording intentional?!
  • Do they have to work a set shift or are their hours flexible? I would clarify that. IF they'll have PC's they have to be willing to trouble shoot problems either on their own or with the help of the vendor/IT Dept.
  • "Based on the posts, it surely didn't seem that people got the point about documenting." I re-read once again, and disagree. Oh well, neither of us is going to change our opinion on this one.
  • Go Ray! You still can't compare this case to the Ellerth case, ABoy. I think everyone gets the point about the documentation, and yes, you would handle the two types of cases differently.
  • I read the Ellerth vs. Burlington Industries case. The harassment in that case was much more severe. It's hard to compare the two cases as Ellerth vs. BI involved a supervisor harassing an employee. In BLC's case, it is one manager harassing anot…
  • Reading the other responses, I may have misinterpreted your question. Has their been an investigation that only part of the Board know about it? If there's been an investigation, I don't believe you'd have to tell the others. However,they are boun…
  • >Personally, I think if you want to see morale go >WAY up, tell all the married guys they CAN'T >bring their wives. Just a thought. That's funny. I don't think Newcomer could handle that at all. Newcomer, as someone mentioned, y…
  • Not to turn this in to another issue, but it's easy for a man to say they'd have the employee outside the office within 10 seconds. It could be very intimidating, if not scary, for a woman to have a man yelling and swearing at her. If this sounds …
  • AluminumBoy, I just need to ask, why is your response to HRHelpME's question any less "crap" than the others? If she didn't go back and re-read the posts, she just may have missed some of your words of wisdom. How may times have you littered the …
  • I simply cannot BELIEVE how this situation was handled. A supervisor physically mistreats an employee, the employee is transferred to a lesser position because of the incident, is coerced to sign a severance agreement because the employer wanted to…

  • Frank, In that case, it's expected, and that's ok. For us, it was brand new. Sandi
  • Wow. This is not good. We recently implemented background checks - with written permission from the applicant. When it was suggested we do checks on our current employees, I highly recommended that we didn't. If I were an employee being checked,(…
  • We don't have that policy, and there is no wait before an employee is paid for a holiday. When an employee is on FMLA leave, don't we have to pay for the holiday? As leave "should not result in the loss of any benefit," and receiving holiday pay i…
  • I'm one of the paper towel crowd because SO MANY people don't wash their hands. It's amazing to me. I'm happy to say that my kids, 8 & 11, need no prompting from me (and haven't for some time now), to wash their hands. They will even tell me …

  • Tell your employees to stop b...ing. I can't stand this entitlement attitude. Get a real job and see what it's like. All companies have had to cut back on benefits due to the skyrocketing prices. You're right that they don't appreciate what they …

  • Reminds me of when I was teaching - the most difficutlt kids never got sick. I always figured their parents didn't want them at home either.
  • I feel for you on this one. Reading your question, I assumed depression was the problem. It's a very difficult situation. We too try hard to help our employees who are experiencing severe health issues. As I've read over and over from this forum,…
  • Hatchetman, Great response. I am very impressed. Did you really write this at 1 in the morning. Sandi
  • I'm happy for you, Ray.
