  • Just saw this post. I did DQ a guy once over his email addy. THUNDERCOCK....... laughed my but off then through his resume in the junk pile. Young kid......my guess he was still a virgin! My $0.02 worth, The Balloonman
  • Well marc, You did post this in the har de har har section........... We are all just glad you can be who you truely are now. :-)
  • Welcome back marc! How did the sex change operation go? Hope everything turned out okay. My $0.02 worth, DJ The Balloonman
  • Probably correct that you should focus not on the hours but FT vs. PT. WOrst case make a salary adjustment, NOW. If you looked at it as working 75% of the time as oppossed to 100% and that was how the salary was going to be adjusted then draft up …
  • I am positive she did drop me. Said she was contacting HR, the reason being she would have to continue to pay for my coverage with no reimbursement from me....... so I am very comfortable that they were told to drop me. Balloonman
  • Do you need to get the COBRA notice to her? They are still married, mail it addressed to both of them at the address listed. Hope for the best. DOcument your conversation with him. My $0.02 worth, The Balloonman
  • No reason that you cannot offer pregnancy pay to any man who becomes pregnant. Their wife's pregnancy is a completely different issue..... that her employer will have to deal with. You could offer something to the men, that would be pretty progre…
  • Okay have been here and done that..informed after extending a job offer that an individual was HIV + do to ex wifes iv drug usage. This was a construction job. Reality is in any workplace first responders should be using univeral precautions as pa…
  • Last time I had a phone hearing I had my fingers crossed when I raised my right hand!!!!! And I won! Balloonman
  • Meeting time, Dear Pain in Azz employee, We have looked at 3 reasonable accomodations but nothing seems to satisfy you. An entire new work station is not an unreasonable accomodation. While I regret to do this we are going to have to terminate you…
  • Remember it is an interactive process......be patient and reasonable.....then if you decide enough is enough, and you can say yes I have been patient and reasonable.... Then you can be done. Balloonman
  • You never did say how often pepper spray has been used, say in this calendar year? I would be curious to know. Balloonman
  • Nae, You will see accounts that someone has set off pepper spray at schools or office buildings from time to time. It is an allergy, no different than my seafood or my daughter peanut allergy. He can for the most part control his exposure, and has…
  • I think you could apply some logic to determine how big of a risk is this. First how many officers do you have, how many arrests did they make last year? How many times was pepper spray used? As part of your policy, do the officers warn the offend…
  • Do you drink wine? If so after your next bottle give her the cork......... tell her she said you had to find a solution, tell her you did, let her figure it out. My $0.02 worth, The Balloonman
  • Fire her a$$!!!!! :-) My $0.02 worth, The Balloonman
  • What does being deaf have to do with not being able to call in sick? Can the employee speak? If you have answered: Nothing & Yes it is a no brainer and give him points. If you answered Nothing & No, give him points also and make sure you a…
  • Atrimble you should take your restricted duty policy and update it. Putting a maximum amount of time that a person can be on restricted duty, say worst case 26 weeks with re-evaluation after 13 weeks. Also were they violating any safety rules when…
  • Ask the comapny you are buying it to throw in doing a training program for you people...... if they sell Yale forklifts they will have a most excellent training program. One thing to keep in mind that retraining is required when they show they ar…
  • the I've fallen and can't get up device if required would be the employee's responsibility as I see it. Remember reasonable accomodation is an interactive two way process to assist the employee. They need to do their part. My $0.02 worth, The Bal…
  • I have run into this in the past. WHat I do, and have found it works best is before the employee goes out, sit down with them to discuss the issue of paying for their portion of the health insurance benefits. I have already drafted a form for them…
  • He's been back to work for a few months. Suddenly, he says he needs to be off again to "finish recuperating" from his head injury. Kiwi is probably right.......check the hunting seasons. Sounds like he is fine, just knows he can get time off......…
  • marc, Employee applied for both wc & std.....so sounds like a coin flip I have something wrong...if I can make it wc great if not std. Me I would document in writing no fmla paperwork no leave attendance policy will be applied up to and includ…
  • It would come under teh "coming and going rule" in many states WC. Used to not be recordable with OSHA, but may be now. Oh sorry.......there is another headache. x:D Typically I would not consider this recordable, regardless of what some idiot …
  • Screw that, sue her for the full amount of the insurance coverage while she was out, not just the $800.00. Get your ducks lined up, see if you are above or below the small claims court limit, and go file yourself. Pay the extra $35.00 and have her…
  • Some states have unauthorized medical, and you will have to pay, up to a limit regardless. Ohter states do not and the employee should be made to pay. If a WC doctor suggested chiropractor treatments over phyisical therapy I would not use them aga…
  • Good decision!!!!!!!!! The Balloonman
  • Don't take this wrong, but what the heck were you thinking? If you have a problem employee quit, twice no less, do the happy dance and document everything. He was non-compliant witht the treatment plan, lied, and whenn you are in court in front of…
  • What I have done in the past like they are suggesting is send her to a WC Doc that you can explain the situation to. Provide them with the job description and physical demands. THey can do a FCE, Funcitonal Capability Exam, or may based on some ot…
  • Sounds like a business decision. They are not married, and not covered, end of discussion. My $0.02 worth, The Balloonman
