Unfortunately, I've learned that people tend to take "there's a possibility you'll receive a bonus" to mean "we promise you'll get a bonus". I would leave it out to avoid any assumptions, and then if/when they do get a bonus, it'll be a pleasant sur…

I am not an FMLA expert by any means, but this is the definition we use, taken directly from the Federal Register (29 CFR 825.115): Chronic conditions: Any period of incapacity or treatment for such incapacity due to a chronic serious health conditi…

I agree with Nae. It is clearly a violation of the employees' privacy (although it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with HIPAA) and I would just put that they are out of the office when someone is sick or out for another personal reason.

I too am curious as to why it matters and why you need to set some kind of minimum. We don't have a specific number of years where we consider it retiring. Basically, if they say they are retiring, and don't plan on going back to work anywhere el…

I certainly don't think we'd terminate his employment, or even reprimand him. He wasn't even working at the time, he was on his lunch break. Sure, he could have just called 911, but for all he knew, the woman could have been seriously injured or kil…

I agree with Nae. Our policy actually states that they are required to use any paid sick time during FMLA, but that they don't have to use their vacation time. Most choose to save the time so that they have more paid time off during their leave, …

When I saw "by October 1" I took that to mean get it sent out before October 1 so by today everyone had received it, so I sent it out last week. I've had one question from an employee regarding the ACA, but it was asked before she'd received the …

Here's how it's explained on the U.S. DOL website: [CENTER][B]Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) [/B] [URL="http://www.dol.gov/vets/usc/vpl/usc38.htm"][B](38 USC §§4301 through 4335)[/B][/URL][I]([URL]http://www.dol…

I'm generally not a fan of this approach. These are some questions I would be asking the manager: 1. What happens if you put her in another position while she's trying to find another job and she does really poorly at that position? Do you just k…

I've never participated in a group interview, but quite frankly, I don't think I'd like it. I'm sure it saves time for some companies with a lot of applicants, but I still prefer to weed people out by their resume/application and then interview one …

We would consider this a terminable offense.

Our progressive discipline policy follows these steps: Verbal warning Written warning Suspension Dismissal If more than six months have passed since the last disciplinary action, the process normally starts over.

I agree with the others. You should be able to accommodate breastfeeding within your normal break policies. We had the same situation a couple of years ago: dad would bring the baby to mom twice a day on her breaks and the location she worked at a…

I agree with Nae also. Although in our case, since we are a bank and subject to some very strict regulations about customer information security, I think it would probably mean outright termination. If an employee would reveal our confidential banki…

Wow, if some of those things burn as many calories as that, there are some people I know who should be wasted away to almost nothing by now!
-
Definitely! O:)

That's perfect!
-
Maybe I'm oversimplifying, but my first question would have to be, what does the employee think she needs to "protect herself" from? And also, I also find the comment about not wanting to be seen as retaliatory kind of interesting. I mean, if this p…

These are great.....and unfortunately, in some cases, so true!!

Hopefully Rob has just moved on to live a normal birdy life somewhere. It's funny how we can get used to something that originally drove us nuts!
-
I agree with Just Need Coffee, normally grandchildren aren't covered unless it's a situation where the grandparent has legal custody or guardianship.

I read this on the news the other day. On one hand, I guess it's advertising, but on the other, if it can be anywhere on the body (and therefore not necessarily visible) where's the advertising value in that? I rather like our logo and I have wor…

I've started wondering about the mental health of robins in general. This weekend we went on a couple of lengthy drives and I can't tell you the number of times robins flew across the road right in front of us, at a perfect level that if it had misj…

Maybe he just needed a mom to watch over him while he figured out how to navigate the big wide world. Good job, mama bird!

So, Nae, whatever happened to your little birdy friend?
-
Have you ever seen the children's book "Are You My Mother?" where a young bird goes around asking all these different animals/objects if they're his mother? Maybe this little guy's fixated on you as a mother figure, Nae!

Sounds like it's sick, or maybe it's injured and can't fly. Poor thing!
