  • I totally agree. In our house we have "Holly Hugs" for that exact reason. A friend lost her eight year old daughter right before Christmas last year to mennigitis. After the funeral was over she sent out an email to everyone reminding them to give…
  • Our community has one high school and we used to have 2 middle schools (north and south). Once kids made it to high school the kids had a hard time interacting with each other and the south side kids were not as wealthy as the north side kids. In…
  • Don't need to teall me about this one. I have already saved almost everything already. I even (ok don't tell me how gross this is because I already know) saved her umbilical cord that fell off. We lived for five years in Europe and she was born…
  • My BF has internet again. They just returned from a mission on the border. I knew on this mission they would be roughing it but until he uploaded the over 300 picutres he took I didn't realize how bad off his guys were. They were excited to be ba…

  • The magazine has been sitting on my desk for 2 weeks now... I skimmed it briefly and then put it aside thinking I could use it for a class project/report/paper soon so I didn't want to read it in depth right away. I'll go back tonight and read it o…

  • Thanks to everyone who replied! Lots of great insight and I'm planning on taking Don up on one of his suggestions (not the vacation I have already been on too many of those since Mike left for Iraq). I'm not sure it is the company that I have issu…
  • My absolute favorite 4th of July celebration fireworks took place outside of the US. It was in Vicenza, Italy. The US has an Army base there but this celebration wasn't hosted by the US, the Italians celebrated for us. It was almost 2 1/2 hours l…

  • I would think we would want them to! My Business Law class is taught by a judge that sits on the Iowa Supreme Court... it's been an AWESOME class I'll ask his opinion on the issue tomorrow night.
  • I think I would rather take a burger flipping job before working for a compnay that this guy runs. I got word today that his real life company is in major financial trouble... because they forgot to bill for services for the last 6 months!
  • It's a college class full of Business Majors... I'm sure no one else really knows he is giving out wrong info. They are there to learn what it's like in "the real world" I'm there to get that slip of paper that seems to be all so important to the b…
  • Thanks! The director of the university is going to sit in on the next class and we will then discuss the issues further. You are right about it haunting me forever... there are somethings that I felt were not worth fighting over and I let slide …
  • No mirrors in my Vegas wedding... at least no mirrors that I remember. Of course we were a poor Army family and stayed at the cheapest room we could possible find and stayed as far away from it as possible the entire time we were there.

  • Wow! Thanks for all of your responses. It seems that the answers I was receiving from local companies spills over into this fourm. I am a good five years older than the next oldest person in the majority of my classes and they are choosing HR as …
  • Honestly, I dropped out of college when I was younger to get married. I followed my husband around the world and back again as he worked on his career. After getting divorced and returning to small town Iowa with nothing I decided that never aga…
  • I'll be sappy and say my BF who left two weeks ago to servre from 12-18 months in Iraq.
  • Just did the same thing. I have a form that I can send. Email me. Nietra
  • She is nice She dresses well He smiles a lot Are those responses from your supervisors? If so I agree that you need training. If you are doing 180 degree rating systems and the employees are putting responses down like that then once again traini…
  • Thanks! The specifics you stated are in our policy already... it was just this little sentence that I was dreading over! Nietra
  • I also just sent a few things. Please let me know if you don't receive them. Nietra
  • We work with persons with mental illness and the Iowa laws in regards to MI is extremelly more stringent than HIPAA. In order to ensure efficient daily operations we can send confidential information via email if we have a confidentiality statement…

  • This is what our payroll person does. She receives the time cards - totals hours - determines which hours are overtime, paid at a higher rate (based on the actual time worked), paid double time (for holidays, etc) and computes the pay.
  • Our fiscal year ends June 30 and July 1 our employees will get a 3% raise. A few will get 2% and a few others will get 4%.
  • If your employees are working thru their lunch the DOL states you must pay. Unpaid lunch breaks must be no less than 30 minutes. We have a no unauthorized overtime policy. If employees work thru lunch then we pay but begin our discipline proces…
  • 1. Are the night hours of work their only hours of work for you? * No, they actually are working for us from 2 pm on Monday until 2:30 the next Monday 2. How many employees are in the home at night? * Just the one employee 3. Are they allowed s…
  • I wish we could but we need the consistancy of the staff in the homes. We found that having someone new in the home every eight hours increases the likelihood of behaviors we are trying to prevent.
