It's limited only by the amount of time you have on your hands. But, I've never found any value in 'national' or 'nationwide' comparisons, averages or data. All compensation comparisons are local or labor market area driven.

The mere tracking of exempt time or even, in fact, requiring exempts to log their time or clock in, is never, in and of itself, going to result in loss of exemption. It's what is done with the result that may or may not affect exemption. There are a…

We organize our first by department of use, then alpha.

Several have suggested you err on the conservative side or do 'what's easiest'. Why do either? A simple visit to the regulations will produce the answer your company needs. Doing what's easiest will often set you up for claims of precedence having b…

Maybe I don't understand the question. Actually, it's entirely legal and practicable for people to file claims in states where they've not worked. Claimants are allowed to file a claim in any state, generally their current state of residency. This i…

Of course it's discrimination. Once those words left her mouth, she placed a rather large and awkward monkey on your back. You have obligations and one of your primary ones is to protect the assets of your company. The ONLY way to do that in this in…

"I never lost an EEOC suit in 15 years but never won at arbitration...." Now there is a statement worth a million bucks! And one with which many of us can identify. There's really something to contemplate in that true statement. It ought to be on a …

To avoid reaching the wrong conclusion, as to why he 'hates' meetings, I'd start with a one-on-one and ask him directly what the problem is. No use to go through a lot of tiptoeing with "I perceive that you seem to.....". The symptom is obvious. To …

Although it's a giant stretch, the problem might come when a candidate such as this one finds out that your company deviated from it's practice and policy and treated him differently, thereby potentially costing him his candidacy. There are court ca…

Under FMLA, we (employers) are never entitled to diagnosis or specifics (also they are sometimes listed on forms), only to the general certification information. It's different under ADA in that we do have to have some knowledge (as exchanged in the…

"I like to believe that the majority of Union reps out there are genuinely good people who want to partner with you to make a mutually beneficial environment, but I've never encountered a single one frankly." Where's the LOL smiley icon? I like to t…

Its hardly possible for these employees to be considered independent contractors on weekends. Frankly, I'm amazed that a company in the business of seminar presentation (assuming some of the seminars might relate to HR) would even consider doing thi…

I think the real problem is represented in the first five words of the original post. Company events are no longer venues for alcohol, for a variety of reasons. Welcome to the 21st century!

This is pretty close to the height of overreaction, in my opinion. Relating the word gyp (defined as to cheat, swindle or defraud) to gypsies and perhaps further even, to Serbians of the18th century, is a pretty dynamic stretch, even though Webster …

You can't be serious Max. In every organization with which I'm familiar, safety violations are disciplinary events of the highest magnitude. Refusing to participate in a company's evacuation exercises is a safety violation. I'd suggest three days su…

It was last Tuesday. Where were YOU?

The excuse is that the rest of us remember when we were.

I asked my grandmama many years ago how much Crisco she put in biscuits. She cupped three fingers into a spoon shape, twisted her brow and said, 'Oooohhhh, 'bout this much'. Now, as my 9th grade Science teacher always said prior to a test, "Just do …

This is about Tater Salad, not Pee Wee Herman. The masturbation thread is over on another board. What's the cider vinegar for? I kept thinking she would at least tell why you put that God-awful stuff in tater salad. Besides, Judy was in a wreck an…

Seriously, I think there is a secret to how long you boil or nuke the potatoes to ensure they come out just the right consistency when cubed, not mushy. Then there's German potatoe salad which I think only means leaving the red skin on red potatoes.…

I would give you my mother's recipe. But, then I'd have to kill you. And she would kill ME.

You are sadly, no doubt correct about Chappy's on 90. In fact most if not all of 90 in Gulfport is only rubble now, including all of the restaurants and shops to either side of 90 just feet north of the Gulf. But, fear not, most of us in this state …

Did someone say they put bananas in the refrigerator. That is the number one violation in Banana 101.

I would NEVER buy yellow bananas unless they were the only ones available and then would buy no more than we would eat before tomorrow. I always pick a bunch that are properly green, counting in my head how many days they may hang on my banana rack …

I have something from WWII I bet you never saw. It's my dad's parachute knife. A folding knife about a foot and a half long with a big black handle and a terrificly big, sharp blade. You slip a thin sheath on the sharp edge and push a retainer in th…

Don't ever throw one away, especially if you have a round-plastic-handled one with the name of a bar or business stenciled on it. Those old poke-a-hole can openers are historic and will be valuable. And one day your nine year old can tell this story…

The neat thing about the box is you stick it in the refrigerator and it takes up very little room and adds color and structure to the middle shelf. It is much more attractive than a half full can with aluminum foil sloppily crushed over the top. We'…

I got yo klusky noodle Leslie. They comes in cardboard boxes, not in cans, not the real thang.

We are finally cooking with heat. Thanks to the large service trucks with Omaha, Nebraska on their doors, our area for the most part has restored power. An unnamed Forumite sent me two cannisters of propane and probably broke several federal laws …
