Funny how tales go around. I heard the one about the spiders; however, they were not in her ear. They were in her bee-hive hairdo that had been left up for weeks

We had a group that included my then 24 year old son at a local sports bar for Saturday night Karaoke. It was the very first time I had ever heard the song "Strokin", and at the part where the singer says "just how long has it been since you made l…

One of the radio stations in Dallas (99.5 FM-KSCS) tried the experiments with the meat in the Coke for two days. After the two days, they still had beef.

I guess I am better late then never in responding. However, you really know you are getting older when you and your long-haired 26 year old son go through the security at the airport and they pull you out of line to search and let him go through.

It ranges anywhere from $1.75 to $1.45 per gallon here in the area of Dallas that I live in. I am telling my age, but I remember gas at $.19/gallon. And, they gave Green Stamps and a set of drinking glasses with each fill-up.

I am a little late in responding; however, I wanted to relate how the times have changed. In the late 1960's, I was working at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas. A young lady came in with an American flag sewn on the back of her shorts. I was asked…

Helena, As usual, I am the last to get on the bandwagon. Can I please also get in line for a copy. Thanks so very much for your patience. 1-972-840-5647

The policy we have is probably extreme; however, we do not verify any employee request without a signed release from the employee or former employee. This has stopped a lot of calls because they do not have the release available. I have had one ex…

You did not say how many employees you had; however, I believe that if you have less than 50 employees you do not fall under the FMLA guidelines. However, if you have more than 50 employees, you can terminate them after their 12 weeks of FMLA which…

We also require background checks on all of our new hires. The position they are applying dictates the degree of background check. At the time the individual applies for a position, they sign a consent form for the investigations. We do outsource…

We allow our employees to cash out vacation with restrictions. They can only do it once during an anniversary year and can only sell back a maximum of 80 hours. Having said this, other restrictions are that they must have already taken at least 80…

I have worked payroll both ways, and I prefer it in HR. You still have to have the close contact with Finance, and it is a great help if you have the financial background. We are a manufacturing firm with about 1000 employees in two states, and I …

Is this an "At Will" state? Also, did she sign any type of hiring contract stating what her specific pay would be? That would probably be her only recourse; however, companies can cut pay as long as it is non-discriminatory.

My heart goes out to you. We had a similar situation about two years ago when we had to let a longtime employee who was in her seventies go. She sat calmly through the exit and when she left, she gave everyone a big hug and told us not to worry th…
