  • Our company always flies the cheapest, for everyone. My husband travels a lot for business. He gets to keep his miles and perks, which is very nice. He can use the miles to upgrade his seat. When he flew almost exclusively with 1 carrier, his co…

  • What would Missy do if it were a man she was not interested in being friendly with? She should just say flat out that she is not interested in taking in a roommate, she has plans for lunch, can't talk right now, etc. I don't think I'd dignify the …

  • In addition to the above topics: Hearing conservation, safe lifting techniques, repetitive strain prevention and Job Safety Analysis training. Any time someone is hurt, we do a Root Cause/JSA review and it helps if the floor people are familiar wit…

  • 1993, good grief! 8-| Isn't the IRS statute of limitations on tax returns only 7 years? Use your perfectly clear policy as it is written.

  • We had a similar case where an EE waited about 8 years to change her name. She and her fiance emigrated from Algeria and were married soon after coming here. She did not change her name when she got married because she was afraid it would mess up …

  • This has happened to us, too. We contacted both carriers to give them a 'heads up' on the situation. Then we contacted the EE to explain the injury is either work-related or it isn't, it cannot be both. Which is it? If they say work-related, we …

  • We pay OT with the regular pay unless the information does not reach payroll in time to be included in that payroll run. If your company normally pays the OT in the week it was earned, why can't/don't they also do it the last pay cycle of the year?…

  • Since he was taken to the hospital from work, I would be very hesitant to let him return without a RTW slip, even if it hadn't been deemed a WC event.
    in No RTW slip since he used vacation time? Comment by Kiwi July 2003
  • No, you certainly are not being too picky. They are being too pushy. We used to have a lot of the same thing, but got rid of many such requests when we went to outsourced payroll checks and direct deposit as an option. (We'd even have people aski…
