I have a question regarding an employee that has been off on workman’s comp since 05/07/18. We are considering terminating his employment as we do not see him returning to work. Is there a time limit as to how long we have to keep him on payroll? What are the legal ramifications if we do release him? I understand from a class instructor that w/c does not depend on employment and we are not obligated to continue him employment. Can you give me some advice on this topic?
Can you tell me how I would figure out if the franchise I work for is a covered employer due to the corporate coverage? We are a franchise of Jackson Hewitt Tax Service. Franchisee has all management rights. Franchisee has all financial responsibilities unless she gets loans from the corporation.
If there is a record (ie unemployment claims paperwork and Dept of health and human services paperwork) that has no retention information in any publication, how long should we retain the document?
We have an employee that makes multiple mistakes and gets distracted easily, so she doesn’t get her work done. She made an off-handed comment to her supervisor that she has ADD, but we have no confirmation on that.
if we suspect an employee has ADD, but the employee hasn’t told us, can we ask that employee about it? Or should we focus on her performance and let her tell us if she needs an accommodation?
Is it up to the employee to ask for accommodations? Or should we ask the employee what she needs?
