Sorry you feel that way about Cheney. I think he is a great man. He was my congressman for many years when I lived in Wyoming. I've met him a few times, and even drove him in a parade once (I was mad because my brother got to drive the homecoming…

I figured it out!!!! Am I smart or what??? To figure this out I went to google and typed in: 7.11 math trick I thought I was good in math until I read how to do the problem. [url]http://home.att.net/~numericana/answer/recreational.htm#7-11[…

If you don't like the way I drive, then get the heck off of the sidewalk. Rob

Urban ledgends doesn't say it is false, but they think it is a very suspect story (but still very funny). Read about it here [url]http://www.snopes.com/humor/letters/diver.htm[/url] Rob S

Yesterday was the latest in the year we had ever been over 100 here in AZ. No big deal - we are going to do it again today (woo hoo - can you tell I'm excited). Actually it's not that bad - I played baseball with my son around 6:00, and it had alr…

Better yet, roast the HR department (all of our employees are already saying this type of thing behind our backs anyway). Rob

After the first few words, you can read this as fast as normal. The paomnnehel pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is tah…

Wow. Caught me off guard to see my name in a post. I just finished a (Sunday school) class that used the book "how now shall we live", by Chuck Colson (yes the guy who went to jail for Watergate). And it talked about not being a Christian because…

I don't want to start another thread about religion, but I will still give you my answer to your question (I am not a biblical scholar). I too am a Christian, but I do not necessarily believe that the universe went from nothingness to Adam and Eve …

Since we are halfway between Phoenix and Tucson, I assume that our fuel is coming from Tucson, and we don't have to use that special summer time blend you have anyway. Sounds like the pipline will be fixed soon anyway (they are making to much money…

Come on down to Casa Grande. 30 miles south of Chandler, no lines, $1.68 a gallon. When I filled up yesterday, and the guy next to me kept filling up gas containers the whole time I was filling up my car. I said to him "looks like you're from P…

Leslie, I normally don't check the site often enough to answer/make a timely comment. I also usually don't feel smart enough to make an inteligent HR comment, but when I see a post about swamp coolers, I just have to get involved. The company (…

I will do my Cliff Claven routine here (remember the show cheers) People who use swamp coolers actually watch the dew point more than the relative humidity. The hotter it is, the more moisture the air can hold, but the dew point is the same for al…

I drove Dick and Lynn Cheney (VP now, congressman back then) in a parade once. I was really mad that my brother got to drive the homecoming queen and I got stuck with just another politician.

I hate to be a kill joy and tell you that it isn't true, but it isn't true. Look it up on urban legends: [url]http://www.snopes.com/humor/letters/bricks.htm[/url] I must be a big skeptic. I keep looking up more and more stories I hear and find ou…

I was at a golf course a few years back, and they were spraying grape juice on the fairway to keep the geese off, and in the lake. He said that geese think of grape juice the way people think of Tabasco. I have no idea if this is true, or if it ev…

Thanks Linda. I think we are OK too, but we have a new HR person who is not so sure. I am not finding much documentation out there for or against what we are currently doing. I might post the question again in the main forum if I don't get an…

I think we are technically paying him not to go on our plan. Our plan is free to the employee, but he likes his old plan. The president wants him to sign a form that if he drops his old coverage and goes on our plan, then his pay will be adjusted …

Here is an example of what I am talking about. The June 30 payroll was for June 16 - June 30. There were 11 work days that period, so hourly (non-exempt) employees worked 88 hours, but were paid for 86.667 hours. If some one was short a half day …
-
Most of our employees work a 40 hour week. We only make an adjustment to the 86.667 if they do not work a normal 40 hour week. If some one takes off a half day without pay, then we adjust the 86.667 to 82.667 for that pay period. It is very easy …

Donna, I think I understand what you are trying say (after I read this a few times). One of us has the term non-exempt and exempt reversed, and I think I have it right (but I know some one will chime to to correct me if I am wrong). I really nee…

I always assumed that the forum was a marketing tool to get people to sign up for the newsletter and other products, not the other way around. I never would have even heard of MLS if I would not have found the forum with google. I personally think…

We use ABRA, but also use MS Access. The access program pulls data from ABRA each time it starts up, so we don't have to input data into payroll and then again into the Access database. In the past I worked about half my time in HR, half in IT w…

401(k) and ESOP both say 1000 hours of service per year, and our benefit plans just say that employees work 30 hours per week will be covered. Thanks everyone for your responses. Rob

Any other areas we should be concened about FT/PT other than benefits. I did a search and the DOL website say that FLSA does not address FT/PT. As long as we apply our company startards consistanly then there should be no EEOC issues. Am I miss…

We had an e-mail blocking program that blocked all e-mails from an employee whose last name is Sexton (SEXton). I was very aggravating, because this system just did not deliver it (no notification), so we did not know for quite a while what was goi…

Hey HR in CA, Do you by chance work for Quest software. I know they are based in CA. If you do, e-mail me at [email]rshuster@mahoneygroup.com[/email]. I have a good friend that works there and I haven't talked to him in while and I would like to…

One more thing. Putting a password on an excel or word document helps, but that is still not that secure. There is free software on the internet that will break those passwords in seconds. The Microsoft passwords got better with office xp and now…
