I love it, Frank. There are actually videos on the web about "doga" doing yoga with your dog. I can't imagine trying to do yoga with a cat though. We have often told Tony that we want a craft/yoga/pet room as a benefit at the office.

I realized my message before might have been confusing. I was answering StillNeedCoffee's question. I have edited my response above to be correct and make more sense since it wasn't directly after her post. Yes, basically, you don't have to post th…

Yes, basically, you don't have to post it by the April 30 deadline. The rule can't take effect because the rule is enjoined. So if the rule can't take effect, it can't be enforced.

The D.C. Circuit Court has granted a request to halt the implementation of the April 30 poster requirement. The court will review the case and hear oral arguments in September. Here's what Holly Jones reported about it on our HR News Blog. [url]htt…

I've seen it more and more, too. While the dog and I were walking and saw the Dogs Welcome sign, when we went past a local diner there was a big dog water bowl outside next to a bench on the sidewalk. Living downtown there are a lot of people walkin…

I hadn't thought about the implications for not being available to work additional hours if needed. That was issue never came up for me when I was job juggling. I suspect that the person who complained about her supervisor not letting her cut down …

We just published Celeste Blackburn's great new white paper on how employers can help employees deal with high gas prices. It includes information on some of the usual suspects - telecommuting and compressed workweeks -- but also covers options for …

$3.599 earlier this week. Took $33.14 to put 3/4 of a tank of gas in my 11-year-old Corolla. I never dreamed I would own a car that could hold $30+ of gas. When I started at MLSP six years ago, gas prices around here had just hit $1.15 and my forme…

That was the other thing that struck me. Data security is such a challenge anyway. Why would you want to have 100 or 500 or even 1,000 SSNs to protect instead of one or a handful that you need for background checks? It seems like it would create a l…

I think the forecast are usually pretty accurate. But it's a very unpredictable time with all the unrest in the Middle East. I'm just blown away by the spike in gas prices and seeing a 25% increase in my electric bills at the same time. And TVA is c…

US Energy Information Administration recently released their new short-term outlook - first once since Egypt hit the news. Between this and getting my latest electric bill yesterday I'm glad I like peanut butter sandwiches because gas and electric p…

Susan Kline, one of the attorney editors for Indiana Employment Law Letter wrote an article about pay issues and office closings that gives a good overview of the situation. [url]http://hrhero.com/hl/articles/2007/02/02/pay-time-off-issues-for-offi…

Here's an article from our HR News blog on it. It's called the Bridge to Justice program [url]http://blogs.hrhero.com/hrnews/2010/12/14/dol-announces-bridge-to-justice-attorney-referral-system/[/url]

A little help please, dear Forumites. Because of the snow/ice/winter yuck I've pulled together some past Hero Line articles that might be helpful to employers caught in this mess. Here's a link [url]http://blogs.hrhero.com/hrnews/2011/02/02/winter-w…

We looked back over the questions and answers and the answers are correct and are scoring correctly. On the last question, it asks which option the supervisor should NOT take. Spoiler alert: If you haven't taken the quiz you might want to skip the…

I love baking. This year a friend's 14-year-old daughter and I made a gingerbread house completely from scratch and it actually stood for a week. Love Christmas music. I make most of my Christmas presents and I really enjoy that - although 3 were no…

Paul is a character. Another character that isn't in the list but is one I often find myself channeling in the last week or two before Christmas is Charlie Brown. I go to a church that has a Lessons and Carols service and one of my favorite parts is…

No one liked pumpkin pie in my family, but we all loved chocolate, so I remember chocolate pie as a favorite dessert - we even requested chocolate pies for birthdays instead of cake. But my favorite Thanksgiving/holiday food I remember is one I hav…

Dan Oswald wrote a great column this week on how employers and coworkers should and should not treat employees with breast cancer. Recently a court awarded a woman $8 million based on how her employer and supervisor handled her fight with breast can…

While I don't do recruiting, I probably pay more attention to LinkedIn professionally than any of the other social networking sites. It became more important to me when I realized that it was a way I could help other people I know find jobs through …

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. It's something I feel very strongly about. I'm absolutely worn out hearing government and business talk about why we can't do what we need to do to fix what is so badly broken. We can achieve so much if quit believing …

Mark Schickman, an editor of California Employment Law Letter, has written a column on medical marijuana in California and how the labor unions have begun to organize workers in that industry. Very interesting. [url]http://hrhero.com/hl/articles/20…

Hope you have a great vacation. I did major home remodeling on my old house this summer and will be staycationing for the next couple of years.

It's always good to see a happy HR Hero Line reader. Let us know if you stop receiving it again.

Thanks for letting us know Frank. We are on it.

We've sent this on to our IT folks to see what we can do to fix the problem. In the meantime, here's a link to this week's HR Hero Line. We've got a lot of great articles such as the states taking action on immigration, the ADA turning 20. [url]ht…

I'm surprised there is not a category for unproductive time spent in meetings. That has to be a whole category unto itself.
