  • It is amazing to me how many supervisors/managers have conflict phobia. They don't address problem employees and then when they can't take it any longer, they want to get rid of them on the spot. When their personnel file is clean, they have excelle…
  • Don, I'm really not sure. I just know when I moved to NV 9 years ago, from CA, it was a culture shock to me. The pay is so much lower and might have something to do with no state taxes and a lower cost of living and lower cost of housing (not for l…
  • Hi Jane, Let's say you have an employee in an "exempt" position who has offered to take on an additional part-time position within the company which is a "non-exempt" position. Would the only overtime issues be with the "non-exempt" position? Mean…
  • Thanks for your response, I know about FLSA, but was not sure at the state level. We are not union, so that is not an issue and we plan to give advance notice, to alleviate negative employee moral. Thanks again!
  • Oops, one more thing! If you can require mandatory overtime, can an employer issue discipline for those employees who refuse to work the overtime or just leaves the work site at their regularly scheduled time?
  • Still looking for some feedback here. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
  • Hi Christy, Any luck with your list? This will be such a BIG help to us, not to mention the postage expense we might be able to save! Thanks in advance for your help.
  • Great, thank you!
  • Hi Margaret, We are a multi-state employer and I would love to have all employees on direct deposit. I have reviewed all previous direct deposit posts and I need further clarification. What states do not allow the mandating of direct deposit and …
  • Sharp and quick! I spent too much time looking for the changes on the DOL website and decided this forum was quicker. I was right!
  • Thank you Anne !!
  • Lunch? What's lunch? Most HR people I know can't make it out of the office for anything. I was an accounting manager for many years in the banking industry, but I have been in Human Resources now for 7 years. It is my experience that a lot of acc…
  • Do you have to have a Pregnancy Leave Policy? Can you just issue pregnancy leave in accordance with FMLA and any other State Leave laws? If you have a pregnancy leave policy, can you require that the employee, after a certain period of time, pay t…
  • Apparently, addressing performance can now also hurt you, check this case out: In 2000, Stephanie Gambini began working as a contracts clerk for the Da Vita kidney dialysis clinic in Washington. A few months later, she began to experience depressio…
  • Margaret, The state is Tennessee. Do you know if this state allows for an adjustment in pay rate for modified duty?
  • Margaret, When an employee is working modified duty, can you adjust their rate of pay, since they are not performing all the duties of their hired position?
  • How do other companies handle their medical coverage while employees are on worker's compensation, especially when someone could be on workers comp leave for many months?
  • Thanks Don D !!
  • So does this mean from Aug 5, 2002 back to August 5, 2001 the employee would have alteady used 9 weeks and therefore would only have 3 weeks left. I thought I umderstood this but Catherine makes a good point.
  • Thank you Margaret! I just forgot to add FMLA in my list. I just wanted to make sure we have the "required" leaves covered. For maternity leave and/or pregnancy disability leave, since we are a multi-state employer, could we just simply state tha…
  • Based on the Stekloff v. St John's case, it has been recommended by attorneys, not to bother forbidding a second job in your FMLA leave policy.
  • Thanks Folks, appreciate your response !
  • Don D is correct in his statement of the recent case involving FMLA. But although this case was in favor of the employer, it is not suggested that you not designate FMLA in a timely manner. This I would obtain legal counsel on. As far as making a…
  • Parents are divorced......
  • Understood and thank you. We don't grant leave to anyone who doesn't qualify, providing it is not an ADA issue. It doesn't matter what gender they are. FMLA and all our company policies require that you be employed with the company at least a yea…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-19-02 AT 07:10PM (CST)[/font][p]If there is not a particular state law that prohibits this, yes we do. Only if the employee does not have enough accrued paid sick time to cover the absence and will be…
  • Our personal leave policy is for non-medical related reasons, including pursuit of regular education and extended travel plans. If we have knowledge of a need for leave that is "medically" related (male of female) we qualify/disqualify them for FMLA…
  • I read the EEOC Facts about Pregnancy Discrimination, but I am confused about whether or not pregnancy and maternity leave are a seperate leave apart from FMLA, if individual state law does not exceed 12 weeks in a 12 month period. We do not have sh…
  • Hi Susan, thank you for your response. Silly me to think I could receive a quick clear cut answer. I have been applying FMLA, to be on the safe side, until I can get to the bottom of this.
