To: Employees of WesBanco in Wheeling, West Virginia From: Head of Personnel Date: September 25, 2015 Subject: Leave Donation for Unpaid Leave of Co-Workers Dear employees: Today, I would like to inform you of a program we call here at WesBanco, called a leave donation. As a company that employs more than 50 people that live around our locating city we are protected under the U.S. Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). For more information of FMLA claims that eligible employees are authorized to twelve weeks of leave in a 12-month period for reasons within these requirements: • the birth of a child and to take guardianship of a recently born child within the first year of birth; • to take responsibility for any of the employee’s close family members …show more content…
Under these requirements, employees are able to take an unpaid, job protected leave. This can take a toll on people after twelve weeks to twenty-six weeks going unpaid. The program we have developed is called, leave donation, this allows employees to donate some of their vacation time and sick days to the employees who have to take advantage of the unpaid leave. This is an opportunity that gives everyone a chance to help out some of your colleagues. To be eligible for this, employees must complete the application to receive donated leave; at this time we have two applications that have submitted. The applications provide proof that the employee meets the requirements under FMLA. To donate leave, you must fill out an application indicating the current balance of unused leave and funds you have. There is no maximum or minimum amount of hours that can be donated for WesBanco. If the donated hours are not used, they will be re-credited to the donor’s account. Once the application is reviewed, you will be notified if you are eligible of not. All donated leave is required to be documented and send in to the joint committee of government and finance. Donated leave is completely voluntary and up to the employee.

There are many times when a care order has to be put in place and it happens because the authorities believe that it is the best thing to do for the child’s overall wellbeing. When the care order is put in place it will mean that the
A back up plan such as cross training other employees will be beneficial. When an employee is out for 12 weeks, it can slow down productivity and causes profit losses for the company due to lack of replacement. Here is an example of a negative impact of FMLA. There are 3 nurses in the ER that are pregnant. From day-to-day, there is a shortage of staff that occurs on the unit. The nurses that are pregnant will be on maternity leave at least 2 months apart. The best thing that management and HR should do is to hire at least 3 per-diem nurses to fill in. What you do not want to happen is the rest of the staff to become overwhelm because of staffing issues. A situation as such does not help the morale of the staff, and customer satisfaction will be at a higher
The grounds for making a supervision or care order can be found in in s.31 of The Children Act 1989. Before a supervision or care order can be made, there are four areas that must be established. The court must show that ‘the child concerned is suffering or likely to suffer, significant harm’. Under s.31(2)(b) it states that, ‘The harm, or likelihood of harm, is attributable to: (i) the care given to the child, or likely to be given to him if the order were not made, not being what it would be reasonable to expect a parent to give him; or (ii) the child’s being beyond parental control’. The last two criteria are that the making of the order would promote the welfare of the child, and it is better for the child than making no order at all. A care order was explained in Hunt’s major study on care proceedings as a “last resort” and should only be used if all other options have been explored .
It’s important to receive proper notification to ensure accommodation of paid time off, and meeting the staffing needs of the department. I will make every attempt to honor your vacation request. However, please be mindful of the staffing needs in the department. PTO is received to employees based upon accrual times. Vacation request is not honored to employees without PTO accrual time. In addition, the facility reserves the right to deny payment of PTO if warranted. Unexcused absences, excessive absences or no call, no show absences may be subject to nonpayment of PTO and ELB

In my organization, FMLA entitles an employee up to 12 weeks of leave without pay during any 12-month period. The employee must make a request for family and medical leave under FMLA in writing on an authorized form. The form certifies that the employee understands the reason for the leave. When there is a foreseeable need for unpaid family and medical leave, the employee must give a 30 calendar day notice of intent to take leave. Otherwise, the employee can provide such notice as is practicable. If the need is foreseeable and the employee fails to give 30 calendar days’ notice without a reasonable excuse for the delay of notification, the organization may delay the use of taking family and medical leave until at least 30 days after the date the employee provides...

The FMLA was passed to help families in the time of a crisis so that the individuals would not have to choose between work and personal responsibilities. The eligible employees are permitted to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons. The leave can last up to twelve workweeks in any twelve-month period. Reasons for leave include: pregnancy, prenatal complications, adoption/ fostering of a child, hospitalization, care of an immediate family member, or a health condition that makes the employee unable to do his or her job (Solis). This law applies to any employer “engaging in commerce” ...

The Family and Medical Aid Act (FLMA), of 1993, provides for 12 weeks of unpaid, job protected leave for certain specified events (8). Whilst one could refer to this as maternity or paternity leave if taken because of a pregnancy, this would not be strictly true. Where maternity and paternity leave are offered around the world, they are separate from any other leave due to medical or family reasons. The leave in the U.S. provided through the FLMA is also, as mentioned, unpaid. This creates a number of issues for the expectant family as, regardless of their job being safe for the time taken off, without the income it may be harder to look after the new born child as a couple of unpaid parents, than one parent not taking leave, or neither taking leave and relying on relatives to care for the child as much as possible.
Contingent workers have long been employed to fill seasonal jobs, to complete specialized projects, and to fill in for employees on leave. When business is cyclical, companies hire temporary employees during their busy season, such as summer vacation, the winter holidays, harvest time, and tax season. Temporary staffing firms emerged in the 1960s, primarily to supply clerical and secretarial jobs (Rassuli, 2005). Some companies hire temporary help to protect regular employees from overextending themselves. Some projects require workers with a specific skill set which may not be needed the rest of the time. In this case, an organization relies a on contractor or freelancer to complete the project. Contingent workers often provide immediate temporary replacement for employees on vacation or leave (Paul & Townsend, 1998). Agencies such as Robert Half may supply companies with contingent workers with as little as a few hours notice (M. Kelley, personal communication, December 12, 2013).
Other benefits aligned with paid time off is sick leave awarded in 4 hour increments per pay period with no limit on accruals. Employees may use this time to attend medical appointments for themselves and dependents. The sick leave bank is also used for bereavement (up to 5 days) and funeral (up to 3 days) time off when unfortunate deaths occur.
