CompleteMarkets Editor , Chris Burand 2/28/2018 12:00:00 AM Do you regularly negotiate such contractual issues as commission rates, growth goals, etc. with your companies? Congratulations to the 57% who responded, "Yes!" Based on those positive responses, it appears that agencies of all sizes are negotiating. Negotiations aren't limited to larger agencies. If these agents weren't succeeding in their negotiations, even in a hard market, they'd be giving up. Although 57% is a good percentage, I'd love to see this number keep growing. If you aren't negotiating contractual issues with your companies, isn't it time to begin? All Articles by CompleteMarkets Editor Comments (0 ...

... upon their first entering into employment and at least annually thereafter. Whenever an employer plans to stop doing business, and there is no successor employer to receive and maintain these records, the employer must notify employees of their right of access to records at least three months before the employer ceases to do business. When OSHA standards require the employer to measure exposure to harmful substances, the employee (or representative) has the right to observe the testing and to examine the records of the results. If the exposure levels are above the limit set by the standard, the employer must tell employees what will be done to bring the exposure down. OSHA Inspections OSHA encourages employers and employees to work together to remove hazards. Employees should discuss safety and health problems with the employer, other workers, and union representatives (if there is a union) . As a last resort, if a hazard cannot be corrected, an employee should contact the nearest OSHA area office. If necessary, the OSHA area director can order an inspection if the employee is willing to submit a formal complaint. Discrimination for Using Rights Although there is nothing in the OSHA law which gives an employee the right to refuse to perform an unsafe or unhealthful job assignment, OSHA's regulations, which have been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, provide that an employee may refuse to work when faced with an imminent danger of death or serious injury. The conditions necessary to justify a work refusal are very stringent, however, and a work refusal should be an action taken only as a last resort. If time permits, ...

In the 19th century, businesses had three communication options: The Pony Express, Western Union, and (rarely) the telephone. With the Pony Express, at best you had to wait days or weeks for a response — a lot like a producer trying to cold-call senior executives today. With Western Union, telegrams had to convey their message in a limited number of words. Today a marketing letter might get through, but the executive has little time to read it and it doesn't display your verbal communication skills. The telephone was — and remains — more effective by connecting you directly with the party you've targeted so that you can display your range of interpersonal skills. Focusing on your appointment with the client's risk manager can do the same thing: Keep you from getting a busy signal. A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME Plan your meeting with the risk manager, keeping a successful outcome in mind: An introduction to the senior executives of the company. If you focus on leaving the meeting with the information you need, you're far more likely to get it. Begin with mental rehearsal. What and who do you need to take to the meeting? A good start might be the Commercial producer, who already has built rapport and trust with the risk manager. If the Commercial producer can't attend, build your own credibility through association with the producer and your agency. You might take a Personal Risk ...

... office. Can accommodate employees with disabilities. Telecommuting may constitute a reasonable accommodation for employees with disabilities. (See discussion later.) Can create continuity after a disaster. When a disaster, such as earthquake, flood, or fire, destroys your main facility, telecommuters can often continue to work. If telecommuters must access information on company computer networks, you may want to consider having a backup network offsite. RISKS Telecommuting isn't for everyone. Certain jobs lend themselves to telecommuting. Information workers are an obvious choice; manufacturing workers aren't. Professionals comprised the majority (72%) of telecommuters in the California program. In this program, jobs ranged from accountants to researchers and included administrative law judges, lawyers, policy analysts, and appraisers. Where professional or skilled workers are represented by a union, you may experience resistance. Unions may see telecommuting as a way for employers to get around overtime and other work rules. To overcome these objections and enlist union support, be sure to include a labor relations representative in the planning process. Certain types of people also make better telecommuters than others. When determining who in your company may be eligible for telecommuting, look for people who are independent, experienced, self-motivated, and disciplined. The California program found that many telecommuters experienced break-in' strains for a few months. However, after the first year, telecommuters' effectiveness evaluations and quality-of-life indicators continued to improve. Screen workers to avoid problems. To avoid problems in productivity or morale, select the right kind of worker for telecommuting. Your company's telecommuting policy should clearly state that telecommuting ...

INFORMATION DATE 19891017 DESCRIPTION USDOL Program Highlights-Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records SUBJECT Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records U.S. Department of Labor Program Highlights Fact Sheet No. OSHA 89-29 ACCESS TO EMPLOYEE EXPOSURE AND MEDICAL RECORDS SCOPE-Employers in general industry, the maritime, and construction industries must provide records access to all employees exposed to toxic substances and harmful physical agents, their union representatives, health personnel, and OSHA. The rule does not require creation of any records, only preservation. Access means the right to examine and copy records. ACCESS RULES-Records requests need not be in writing except where trade secrets are involved. Union and health professionals must have specific written consent to gain access to employees' personal medical records but may examine exposure records without such consent. However, they must state the specific record needed and the occupational health need for requesting the information. Health professionals include physicians, occupational health nurses, industrial hygienists, toxicologists, and epidemiologists who provide medical or other occupational health services to exposed employees. Employees have automatic access to their own exposure and medical records except where a physician representing the employer believes that direct employee access to certain information in the record could be detrimental to the employee's health. However, they have access to exposure records of others when these exposures represent their past or present exposure, or exposures represent their past or present exposure, or exposure where an employee is being assigned or transferred. Employers must provide records ...
