  • Welcome danderson.... Sorry - don't know about Wisconsin. Can you contact your WC insurance provider and ask them?
  • I did "once upon a time" pick the piano and electic bass a bit - but I was in a few gospel quartets not rock-n-roll bands; so I missed everi being called a hippee.
  • Thanks muchly for your comments. Dutch2
  • No agreement or policy - just proof of a valid driver's license. If they will be driving a co. vehicle on a regular basis we do require a driving records check with the State Police to come back in good shape.
  • I "assume" that the more than 50 employees refers to total employees and not how many work at each facility/branch. Also being in the business of banking, we have multiple small drive-in facilities where the only hope for any privacy is in the one-…
  • Ask for a list of their current clients. The ones that have visited here usually have the list ready and give it to me before I ask. Contact others that use them and check out their customer service after they make the sale. I have found that it …
  • I must fess up... I do work for a Bank. My dad was in banking for 20+ years and at one time all of the lenders had coffee cups with the picture of a masked face and the words The Loan Arrangers below.
  • A few years back we hired a lender from another bank in a near by city - 25 miles away - we helped her pay the penalty associated with the non-compete agreement that she would not work for a competing financial institution within a certain geo area.…
  • I asked my young bride at lunch about the quote and she immediately responded with both parts. "The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! As a youngster I also enjoyed the …
  • ..the chalice with the palace has the brew that is true....???? or something like that. I couldn't recall a line from Abbot and Costello about hard boiled eggs. I believe my boys are getting me the complete works of the Marx brothers (dvd set) fo…
  • ...sounds kind of like a diet lunch sack... carrot slices and boiled eggs. Or as the Marx Brothers would say, "...and two hard-boiled eggs"
  • We are currently using their Step One Survey, Customer Service Perspective, Sales Indicator and Managment Perspective. Each survey is designed for different job responsibilites. We have been with them since January 2008 and are very happy with the…
  • As usual... another question regarding USERRA - I understand the principal of them returning whole as if they never left. How does their working schedule come in to play. The reason I ask is we have a young man that works and early evening positio…

  • Frank, I have been working with Profiles Internation for several years now. Their number is 1.800.767.3995. Ask for Max at ext #185. Tell him Doug from Callaway gave you his name and number. If he doesn't immediatley hang up on you it should go …
  • Frank: I hope not... and not according to our TPA. I do know of others in this area that are also set at 23 years of age and must be a full time student. I received the following today from our TPA: "The Government is still working on the “Congr…
  • So far no one is asking about the age extension. However, we have contacted our TPA (we are self insured) to go ahead and change over to the new age as soon as we can.
  • If memory serves me correctly ... not too long ago Walmart was "nailed" big time because some of their vendors/contractors were using labor on their property that were not legal to work in the USA. They are no doubt gun shy now. With the depth of t…

  • If any of you are/were followers of the SciFi series Angel then you completely understand that there are in fact all manner of vampires, werewolves demons, ghosts, ghouls, goblins, zombies, various spirits, etc… However, you also understand that the…

  • Sorry, we don't do doc's... You might have success going to a State University that has a med school or a hospital associated with it and checking out their site.
  • We too require preapproval and the course must be work related before we will consider paying for all or a portion of the class. We do allow both in classroom and on line course work. I do know of a few employers that will pay for course work dep…
  • If you google USERRA you will find more information than you will ever need regarding the rules and regulations for our returning men and women.
  • What HRBanker said. We too have two programs - one for sick leave and one for vacation. We require that sick leave be used only for illness. In the situation you mentioned if the mother or new born were not ill, the mom would be required to use …
  • As my young bride of 25 years says, "Size 2 - I was never a size 2 not even in Jr. High." 'course after some 25 years I have done very well - I am nearly twice the man she married...
  • With so much "belt tightening - expense control/reduction" we are doing good if we can go to local training programs. I imagine it will be a few years before we take any extended trips for these sorts of activities.
  • That's the way we do it.... Especially when stepping down in responsibility. We look at how many of years of experience the employee has and estimate what somone in his new postion would be making after the same amount of years.
  • We too pay all vacation at the current rate of pay. For example - they may have been making less last year while earning the vacation they will get to take this year and they will be paid their current rate, not the rate they made last year.
  • I checked with our TPA regarding these questions and received the following information: "An employer may not require an employee to take Medicare instead of the employer plan as this would be a violation of the Medicare Secondary Payer rules. Gene…
  • Same here. We have a few working different schedules such as 10 hrs - 4 days a week. If a holiday falls on one of the four days, we pay them for the number of hours they were scheduled to work on that day so their total hours paid for the week wil…
