    Font - Attention: All Employees Dear Employees, We have a long-term employee of 17 years from our Dietary Department who has been in the hospital and rehab for several months. She has exhausted all her PTO days and her benefits are running out. As you can imagine this has been quite a drain on her family's income. If there is anyone who would like to donate one or more days of their PTO, please let VP of Financial Services, know in writing of your intent. Thank you for your consideration. Presid

    Font - popupideas 16h 4 Awards I had a boss once, big multi million dollar company. Maybe 100-150 employees. One of the programmers lost his child to sids. Horrible. The bosses secretary was asking in a meeting what type of flowers the company should send. He basically said fuck that. Pay for everything. Funeral, everything. And when he feels ok to come back to work he can. No loss in pay. Was about two months I think he was out. Reply 18.5k

    Font - aguynamedbry. 14h I work for a company like that. They do exist and their turnover is non-existent. They had a tough stretch during Covid, no layoffs and managers volunteered to take no pay increase. When the economy rebounded, they gave all the managers their raises with back pay and an extra bonus for going without the raise for 6 months.

    Font - They ended the year up over the previous year. They are hard to find but keep looking for them. Also questions like "What was it like here during Covid, how did you manage to get through it." "If one of your long-term employees, say of over 5 years was to get sick for an unknown period of time what would you do?"

    Font - And yes, I know not everyone has even the luxury of being able to ask those questions, just trying to help those who might. Edit: thanks for all the responses, they had a job posting up and received 340 applications in 4 hours so naming them will just overwhelm the HR person for this 100 person company and yes they are private. ... 46.5k

    Font - Deep-Thought. 12h My company is like that. One of my coworkers was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer about a year ago. As soon as he was diagnosed, he got unlimited leave with full pay. Sadly, he passed away 4 months later but the company paid his family an extra 6 months' salary and all funeral costs. ... 3.6k

    Font - dubbsbrother69. 17h My old company was like this. I managed the accounting department and as a manger they wanted to make me walk around and ask employees to donate time. I refused. I said people can give their time if they so choose but I'm not asking anyone to do this. Oh and when the CEO found out that you don't get paid when you are on leave for FMLA she made a rule that the c-suite would get full pay anytime they went on FMLA but this policy was only for them. I don't work there anym

    Font - bigbabysweets12345. 15h I was a salaried executive chef at an assisted living facility and had to leave at 1 pm for a family emergency, they used 3 hours of my PTO to offset my 8 hour day- I asked if I was hourly all of a sudden and the response was you are salaried for 40 hours" ok then, no more coming in on days off to cover people, no more open to close (which were 15 hour days) no more staying past my 4:30 salaried time to leave 527

    Font - b0w3n 14h SocDem As an aside, for anyone in this situation, when you're docked hours like this as salary you become "salary non exempt" according to the usual classifications and you technically qualify for overtime pay. They can't have it both ways, they can't not pay you overtime but also dock your pay when you work under 40 hours. 4338

    Font - Frebu 17h I would honestly donate sick leave for sick leave but this whole "Vacation for sick leave" thing is so cynically capitalist, they don't want you taking leave when your coworker is out sick so they drain your vacation time via guilt tripping to reduce the people using leave in that department (which is the department most likely to donate) 41.8k 1.8k
