The June VSRA General Membership Luncheon was held on Tuesday, June 13, 2017 at the Portsmouth Renaissance Hotel in the Holley Ballroom. The featured Guest Speaker was CAPT Dan Lannamann, Commanding Officer, Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC).

Here is the problem as I see it: when someone falls down and breaks their leg, or arm, or elbow, or gets in an accident, and needs to be in the hospital or at home, that change in their appearance is noticed right away.  When they call the office to tell the boss, or supervisor that they had an accident, steps are taken to make sure their position is covered and work goes on without any glitches. What time off policy is in place in your work space for that event? Is it written down, or is it on a case-by-case basis?  What steps do you take to follow up with the employee to see what he or she needs while away from work? Do you call a meeting to discuss how the absence will be handled?  If you are one of the people who worked closely with the person injured, how do you handle the workload until he/she returns?  There are too many questions to answer at one time for sure.

Due to maintenance issues at the Portsmouth Renaissance hotel, the July VSRA General Membership Meeting & Luncheon was, unfortunately, cancelled.

The question arose recently as to whether salespeople and estimators are covered under the Longshore Act.  This is a very imprecise and incomplete question, but it can be answered easily.  The answer is, “maybe.”

ALL foursomes are now FULL! There are other sponsorships available.
