  • Reads about the same for us South Dakotans!!!! We are a tough bunch! The winter of 96 - 97 was so bad the National Guard had to come dig us out. Travel was called off for 3 days for the north central part of the state, my husband passed the time …
  • Thank you Don, As I live in a very small town (600 people) and cannot get some of the items on your list, I will be going out of town this weekend and will pick up some items that you have listed. A care package will be on its way next week. …
  • Don, I too would be more than willing to send a care package to whomever. In the coming days, if you of people that need specific items please let us know. Put an address out there and we can send packages to that address. Hang in there!

  • Our company is subject to FMLA as we employ more than 50 EE's however, are EE's are not eligible at this time as our offices are more than 75 miles apart and we do not have 50 EE's in one office.
  • Good Morning, We are a bank with 73 EE's, located in central SD, where by the way it is going to be a beautiful 70 degree day! Our vacation policy is as follows: DOH to 5 years = 2 weeks over 5 years = 3 weeks over 10 years = 4 weeks …

  • We have also had to do this in the past, a couple of times in fact. We have our 401(k) retirement plan with Principal Financial Group, they sent out a sample letter for me to retype and send to all our participants, they had a date that the change …
  • We match up to 2% of EE's contribution, we too also offer profit sharing, currently at 8.3%.
  • Good Morning to All, I too wish I lived in one of those states! We have an ongoing case with an EE who had CT surgery end of last year and has had nothing but trouble, left with 2 numb fingers and now has to see a specialist. Can't wait to see wha…
  • We have a potluck once a month to cover every one's bithday. Boy do we have some good cooks!!! The food is put in our boardroom and when ever anyone wants to eat they are more than welcome to induldge.

  • We are a Financial Institution and we follow the Federal Reserve holiday list, when they are closed, so are we. It's around 9 -10 extra days off a year.
  • Am I reading your post correctly, your company already has an existing businees and this new office is in addition? If that is the case, I believe you need to post required posters. We have 5 locations and 2 of our offices have only 4 EE's however…
  • Why wouldn't you be able to dock his pay, he won't be performing the same job will he?
  • We are a Bank as well. Do you have an external auditor that you use, that is who got us up and running with ours and I just use the same form just update #'s each year.
  • We pay the IRS rate, we do not pay for their gas or anything else in addition to that rate.
  • Am I to understand you that the EE died?
  • I also would send out the letter, again, just to validate that you did end the process with him.
  • I think if you haven't been already, you need to be addressing and documenting the performance issues, it doesn't sound like age really needs to play a part in this if the EE is really not performing as paid to.
  • What was the "payroll breach"?
  • Good Morning, I don't see how you would be able to keep a monthly company newsletter to one page. We are in our 3rd month of production for our companys newsletter. Everyone loves it. But, ours is running about 4 pages. We do the same as some hav…

  • I'm glad to hear your company is going with the EAP for the EE's. Last year, one of our EE's was killed in a car accident, (first EE death in the company) our management thought they could handle this without the help of an EAP (we don't have one b…
