[QUOTE="Jackburton, post: 971099, member: 34538"] No, what I am suggesting is that you use that supposedly "open door" policy to listen to what he is asking for and guide him on what he needs to do. As a management person I would hope you can identify when someone might be going through something that's effecting his job and maybe be understanding that he might need some help in directing him to obtain some time off to handle it instead of a canned, " You need paperwork to claim FMLA". Perhaps something like "Hey XXXXXX, everything going ok?" "I know you asked about FMLA and noticed that you seem distressed at work and your performance is showing as such". "I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know my door is open if you need anything". That is how a person in charge of others shows that they give a hoot. I'm not saying to coddle or babysit them, just letting them know you'll help them if they need and actually do so when they ask makes employees respect you more and be better employees as such. But again, I'm asking this of a company values their employees by what a printout says. [/QUOTE]
