Consecutive Leave Case Study

Parents who lose wages while they take time off are protected by the Paid Family Leave Act (PFL), as California provides income replacement in order for them to bond with their newborn or newly adopted child. PFL offers six weeks of partial pay in order to care for the child, financially. According to website, paidfamilyleave.org the partial pay is 55 percent of the worker’s usual salary. PFL does not guarantee job protection as the parent has to qualify for the California Family Rights Act. In the article 10 Things You Need to Know About Maternity Leave in the US, it states, “According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 12 percent of Americans have access to the paid parental leave, which is considered a benefit by employers,” demonstrating that only certain employees receive paid parental leave as

Additionally, the state’s regulation mandates that employees will not face any retaliation based on their medical condition

In case study 8 Sick Leave, and the cross-culture communication is a dilemma because of the differences in work ethics between an employee from the United States working in Japan, and what is expected by the supervisor in Japan. The difference is the fact that Kelly, the Canadian employee, is highly educated in the field of management, and wants to follow employment rules and regulations to the best of her ability, within both her norm as well as what is written in her current employment.. On the other hand, the Supervisor in Japan, Mr. Higashi, he wishes to hold to the loyalty to the company and what is the culture norm, rather than what is in line with Japanese employment rules and regulations.

Some history on the case, Francis started working with Elsevier in 1991. The role of his employment was that of a production assistant. After a while, he was rehired after a company restructuring in which his new position was that of an associate database publishing editor. The main problem of the case concerns his wife's condition, amytrophic lateral sclerosis. Due to her condition he considered his potential rights under the Family Leave Act with a human resources representative from the company. A boss change led to him being interviewed with a new supervisor where he discussed his wife's condition. Shortly after he was dismissed. "Randall Francin had worked at Mosby, Inc., for twelve years before his wife was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (LouGehrig's disease). "(Cross & Miller, 540) I believe if Francin's wife's condition was not discussed his performance would not have come into question. From the evidence presented especially after the appeal, I believe he was unlawfully terminated considering the close timing of his dismissal after it was known of his wife's condition.

Superior’s current policy of seven vacation days and five sick days a year for the employees is not ideal for emergencies and for an unscheduled occurrence that may require the employee to take a day off. The policy, as written right now, does not give Joan Jackson enough time to properly staff the areas when an employee calls the morning of shift and states he/ she cannot make it to work today. Right now, employees are using sick days to whatever his/ her need is that day, which is more than likely not in regards to the employee being sick. When an employee calls off the morning of work, without any prior knowledge, it will affect the entire company and will make it hard to cover that shift. Also, if more than one employee of that same

Employees returning to work after a period of leave that exceeds five or more days must comply with Merit Rules 9.02(B)(2)(c). Employees on consecutive FMLA/DPL leave must report his/her status and intent to return to work at least once in every thirty-day period. The manner in which the contact is to be made is directed by the department. Fire Rescue employees covered by the IAFF will be required to comply with existing departmental leave procedures and the applicable collective bargaining agreement.

of the original injury. This can be a problem when the employee takes FMLA leave "intermittently," to receive rehabilitative services or other treatments. It is essential that front line supervisors be made aware of the basic provisions of these laws to head off misunderstandings. Supervisor training is especially important since and employee is not required to make a specific request for FMLA leave in order to be protected. A uniform policy and supervisory training should help prepare an employer to handle these complex issues. The employer's ethical responsibility is to post notices of employee rights and responsibilities under the FMLA. Also include an FMLA policy in existing employee handbooks or otherwise distribute such a policy, and must notify employees of their rights and responsibilities under the Act when a request for FMLA leave has been made. Those in favor of a national standard for family leave have argued

This unit has me thinking a lot about how things have been where I work. My director left her husband shortly after Christmas 2015. Prior to her leaving, the library was a huge part of her life. I now get why. She was in a miserable marriage and the only thing she felt good at was her job. Since she has left him, her priorities have changed dramatically. All of her programs have suffered, our patrons no longer ask for her assistance – since she is hardly there, she snaps at her staff for making decisions without her – again she isn’t there much to ask her prior, she now finds ways to take no responsibility for her part in the decisions she has made. Initially, we made excuses for her, such as "She is finding herself," or "She just needs time to adjust" or "Once things settle down, things will be back to normal around here." Needless to say, we are still waiting and it has been almost 10 months. Her leadership style has completely changed. She used to fight for the library, now it’s someone else’s problem or worse, it’s someone else’s fault. When discussing the programs dropping in attendance she said,

Although Ms. Desrosiers STD was denied, she was approved for FML for the same time period. I have received a request to determine if Ms. Desrosiers is eligible to utilize her 80 hours of paid sick time as of January 1, 2017. Please keep in mind as an organization we typically do not pay more than 5 - 7 days of paid sick time under

Within every organization there is some kind of pay plan or salary rates and plans for which employees fall within what grades. As well as those salary figures, many of the bigger companies have instituted bonus plans or incentives for their employees after a being with the company for a certain amount of time. These are things that are pretty common to us in society today. With that, today throughout this short paper I would like to take a moment to highlight was broad banding is, share the bonus system within the King Company and highlight FMLA versus the King companies leave policies. Then I will discuss King’s time off policy. Finally I will briefly discuss this issues with one of the employee who was mistakenly

Employees of a small business are covered by both federal and state employment laws, but they are not required to offer paid vacation time, paid sick leave, or any paid holidays. However, in order to be competitive with bigger companies small organizations should still offer some type of vacation and sick leave policy. Additionally, employees report greater recuperation during vacation, and had less physical complaints and greater life satisfaction when experiencing high workload than subjects reporting less recuperation and time off for vacation. This will keep employees from being burnt out and from possibly seeking alternative employment.

Access to paid leave is often identified as an issue that primarily concerns working mothers, yet paid leave is also critically important for working fathers. In a society that continues to evolve, it is even more imperative to address this unequal access with an increasing number of fathers who are serving as stay at home parents (International Labor Organization, 2014). Legislation that supports fathers having the support they need to prioritize family responsibilities can significantly increase the personal and economic well-being of their growing families (United States Department of Labor, 2015). Despite these advantages, the growing importance of paternal involvement with their newborns is not always supported in today’s society. The economic and social barriers fathers face may hinder them from taking paternity leave altogether, such as inadequate access to paid leave and outdated cultural norms about male breadwinners. According to survey data, most fathers in the United States only take one day of leave time for every month the typical mother takes (Harrington et al., 2014). This means that even in the twenty-first century, it appears to be more widely accepted for mothers to take off time from work to care for their families than fathers. Fewer than half the countries in the world provide men with access to paid leave to care for a new child, while virtually all provide paid maternity leave (ILO, 2014). Paid paternity leave and laws related to promote
