I always heard that 25 or 6 to 4 was a reference to something much darker - shooting up heroin. Exactly how it refers to it, I don't know, maybe something to do with needle size?

He's digging his own grave. How appropriate.

If there are ball players out there who have done worse, let the justice system and society in general deal with them, as we are now dealing with Vick. I for one will never support the NFL in any way ever again if Vick is allowed to play in the fut…

Yes, he should be permanently and totally banned from the NFL. It's the only right thing to do. Nothing should overshadow the bottom line here - that is, Vick's inhumane, cruel treatment of defenseless animals. To do anything other than firing him o…

GO RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For what it's worth, here is a link to the HSUS website, which is campaigning to get the government to respond to this animal crisis. There are links within the website for everyone to email the President, the governor of Louisiana, the secretary …

Here's the story as it appeared in CNN.com: [url]http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/11/katrina.dog.flight.ap/index.html[/url]

Petfinder.com and ASPCA.org both have links for signing up to foster or adopt a pet displaced by the hurricane, or to make a donation or volunteer. I'm sure there are more, these are the ones I am most familiar with. The Houston SPCA also took in …

I'm with you on this one, Don. It's been heartbreakingly wrenching to watch the animal aspect of this story unfold. Please, everyone, remember HSUS, ASPCA, Petfinder.com, or a host of other legitimate humane societies when sending your donati…

I think I'm in love. Don, would you consider bigamy?

"Houston, we have a problem."

I KNOW it must just be an oversight that nobody has yet mentioned "What About Bob?"

We started using Qqest several years ago, obviously an earlier version than the one you're considering, and our version uses individual plastic cards for timekeeping, not biometrics. It was a royal pain in the neck to set up the system and program a…

Page 12 of Circular E indeed lists bonuses as "Supplemental Wages" and explains methods for witholding income tax on this income(a flat 27% rate!!)Thanks to all for the suggestions.
-
You mean I've been witholding federal and state taxes in error? How is it that a Christmas bonus is exempt from these taxes? Your suggestion to back the taxes in is a great one. It also undoes the unfairness of people receiving different net amo…

Thanks to all for their thoughts/suggestions. If the decision was mine to make (or even if I had input into the decision-making process) the outcome would be far more equitable. Bossman makes up his mind, and that's that. However, with your suggesti…

As usual, everyone's feedback on this subject have been insightful and invaluable. Now, hypothetically, if this employee was injured here in the office prior to having officially started work some morning, would he be eligible for Worker's Comp? Co…

He is an hourly employee, and we are a medical office. Each employee has his/her own key to the office. He is kind of creepy, and definitely needs to get a life someplace other than here at work! Great idea to take away his key if necessary.

Do them all a favor - make them use some of that vacation time they've been accruing. There's nothing like some time off to help refresh and renew, physically and mentally.

My thanks to each one of you who took the time to share your valid points and diverse positions on this topic. This is what makes the Forum so valuable for those of us who seek guidance on tough issues. The Forum is a constant source of enrichment.

Yes, the managing partner hired his son and set the pay rate. The son has an entry level job and gets paid more than all other employees here except the RNs. This is so hard to swallow, so wrong. We've had nepotism issues before with these two. As l…

Brad and Don: You are both astute in your observations that 1. the managing partner came down hard on this person by putting her on probation for a year, then at the very same time implemented a decision he didn't want questioned. and 2. the manag…
-
It's a one year probation, not suspension. She overpaid herself by paying her half hour lunches. Of course everything she does leaves a paper trail and the error was eventually found. She claims - and I believe her - that this was an unintentional m…

Well... are you currently hiring?

I bring my inner child to work with me every day. She sees all the unfairness and poor management practices and lies and deceptions, etc, and she wears me out every day by telling me I shouldn't be participating in all this. Might be easier on me if…

If this person is the one you want to hire, ask for a doctor's note prior to the start of employment confirming that he/she can perform the tasks required.

My biggest regret is that my job as Office Manager/HR Manager leaves me feeling isolated from the rest of the staff, as there are so many things I shouldn't share with even those staff members I consider to be my friends. My other biggest regre…

One of the partners has mentioned having an outside auditor come in and examine the billing system, but as the "new partner on the block" she is hesitant to stick her neck out, especially since the other partners would only reluctantly support her, …

Here's our unofficial policy: Son of Managing Partner can come and go as he pleases with no questions asked or disciplinary action considered. Son of Managing Partner can do little or no work without fear of reprisal. Also, he can screw up his…
