Hiring Dos and Don'ts…
One of my employees is a member of the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). She notified me that she has been asked by NDMS to deploy for hurricane victim medical assistance duty. I am short employees and need her to be at work for our organization. Do I have the right to refuse her request for leave of absence to do NDMS duty?…
An employee just came back from military leave; however, he did not present orders to the Human Resources Department or his manager. Company policy states that any unpaid leave must first be approved by your manager. Instead he turned in his timecard with a note across the week stating "5 days military leave'. As an employer, do you have the right to be notified when an employee is on military leave?…
