BSA, Loved your post ... I can certainly relate... Thanks for the hearty laughs...xclap Happy Holidays!

Marc, Thanks for your good wishes too. There seems to be a problem with the way this pastes onto the HR Forum site. Please make sure that the tail of this website, i.e. 0,,4845,00.swf is shown in your browser and then I believe you shouldn't have …

Don, Thanks - liked your card. You may want to try this: There seems to be a problem with the way this pastes onto the HR Forum site. Please make sure that the tail of this website, i.e. 0,,4845,00.swf is shown in your browser and then I believe y…

Ditto to that...

I'm away at the SHRM Convention and come back to this... Whoa Don - way to go! :DD Great photo. I have to admit it, Don, you look nothing like I had pictured. I figured Don's looks were a la Andy Rooney. Anyway, Don, I know I'm not wrong about y…

Yes, isn't that amazing.............

I used to commute about 1 hour 15 minutes in heavy traffic each way (probably about 25 miles?? not really sure). The only pallatable thing about those commutes were the Books on Tape. That was my salvation! Thankfully now I work about 4 miles from …

As a government contractor, we do very thorough background checks. Our application asks specifically if the applicant has any felonies - and we tell the applicant we do thorough background checks and complete drug screening. We had an applicant tha…

Would you mind sharing your Evaluation Form with me? It sounds like it takes all important factors into play. Thanks. My email is: [email]djacobs@teamist.net[/email] Thank you.

Parabeagle, Would you mind faxing me a copy; I would greatly appreciate it. My fax # 954-755-0817, Attn: D. Jacobs Thanks so much.
-
UPDATE: Thank you all for responding with your great advise. I did speak with my boss about how serious an issue this is and finally made him see the light: he agreed to leave those production ees as non-exempt. What a relief! But it is bothersome …
-
Parabeagle, Just curious... what system do you use to keep track of it all? I am in the process of researching an inexpensive, but good HR software that can keep track of vacation, PTO, exempt attendance, etc... At the moment, each exempt employee…

Helena, I would appreciate a copy too. My Fax # 954-755-0817 - to the Attn: D. Jacobs. Thanks so much!
-
Don D, Thanks for your input. I too see this as very valuable. Would you mind sharing the name of your EAP provider? If their cost is in line with yours (which I doubt as we are such a small group), perhaps they can tailor a program to our needs to…

Neferlaw, After seeing your suggestion, I did check with our medical provider Humana and they do not have such a program. Thanks again.
-
Tallent, Thanks for the idea. I am checking into our providers of LTD and Life Insurance to see if they indeed provide such a service, and what its cost might be. It would certainly be great if it were free. CNA is our provider of LTD and Life Insu…

Marci, We've had AFLAC for 1 year now, just renewed through open enrollment in June. We love it! The coverages they have and prices can't be beat. Our Agent is very responsive, and not aggressive at all; she's very nice and very customer oriented. …

We faced the same situation last year for the first time. Up to that point, the employer paid 100% of the employee coverage. But with skyrocking costs, we had to pass some of it onto our employees. We have HMO and PPO plans. If the employee chooses…

To all and kjsnyder, Thanks so much for your input. I did finally check with our legal counsel and they verified kjsnyder's post: we are in fact obligated to give her PT since her doctor authorized it as medically necessary. I told my boss that…
-
Don, This ee still has some 7 weeks of FMLA available to her. Her doctor will only allow her to work PT on a reduced schedule for the first 2 weeks when she returns to duty. But you are right this would not be an accomodation under FMLA, but rather…
-
Denise, Thanks for your reply. The ee still has about 8 weeks left of FMLA leave available to her. I told her she needs to get a return to work note -which needs to specify the "medical necessity" for her to work only part time (and specifiying th…

Would you mind very much emailing it to me as well? My email address is: [email]djacobs@teamist.net[/email]. Thanks.
-
Sonny, Where are you at? We are north west of Fort Lauderdale.
-
Thanks to all for your advice, and most of all for all your prayers. Although we fared well at our offices, we had 2 employees who lived further up north (Palm Beach area which was hardest hit) and they lost their roofs, others had damage to their …
-
Thanks Don. I hope you are right.
-
I will do that. Thank you for your input. I appreciate it.

To the CEO. We now have a new CEO, who is working on a new org chart. I have a feeling he is going to change the whole reporting structure, and will have me reporting to the CFO (once he hires one). For those of you that have experience reporting …
-
Thank you Pork, I will be sure to read it - and will hopefully glean some information from it.
-
Yes, I have heard of the term, and thank you for reminding me of it. I guess that is exactly what he is doing. I have been documenting, and I guess I need to be more vigilant about that too (it is so time consuming). He came in my office today to…

To All: Thank you for all your support and frankly, for just being there for me... it has been very, very difficult. I am documenting, although should be doing more of it. And yes, Don D, you are right of course, although everything screams othe…
