I have never heard of a diagnosis that limits migraine headaches to so many times per month. I wonder if the wording is a little wrong, and the doctor meant they would average about 3 times per month or something similar? I also don't believe you …

The current 'legal' answer is no. However, be careful. Make sure your policies and any awards given historically have not set you up so that you are still forced to do so. Good luck! Nae

I had some trouble at first, but then I realized it was repeating songs and sometimes you were working with phrases, and not necessarily titles, of the songs. I am a Christmas music junkie so I knew most. I lost count but I got 40 give or take a f…

They require you to have a name, so you might have some trouble keeping them separate. Old friends or distant relations might find your work name and think they have found your personal account. If you had a nickname growing up, you might use it f…

We take the employees out to lunch. On a separate day, we have a small holiday party in the afternoon. Company provides snacks and soft drinks. Employees bring a $10 gift (voluntary participation) for a gift exchange and the company also provides…

cnghr: I always wonder in these cases how the employee took it when confronted with the truth. Was she shocked, defensive, creative (tried another lie), or did she seem abashed and accept the discipline? Do most just say, "Oops, you caught me!" o…

You can always require a second opinion. You have to pay for it, but it couldn't hurt. You can also ask for clarification from the employee's doctor. Send them the job requirements and a carefully worded letter asking if the condition would lead …

Absolutely. It is a company sponsored event on company premises during work hours. Besides, if you didn't pay your employees many of them would choose to work instead so they can pay for their own gift giving, and then you become Scrooge. Pay 'em.

This is about characters, Paul.

I try for Martha Stewart and end up like Clark Griswald. In appearance I mostly resemble Rudolph, except my legs aren't so skinny. My nose, however, would give him a run for his money.

Most documents are locked in a file in my locked office. Some items are on our server, but I control the server and who has access. Finally, our payroll system is on a third party's mainframe computer. Since they also have access to patient infor…

I don't think there really is a 'norm' for this. I believe there is a trend to go to PTO, but I think it usually aligns with whatever they were previously doing. For instance, when we went the PTO route in 1998 we kept our accruals at the same rat…

Yes, there were a lot of good responses. I read it out loud to hubby, but that is all you're getting out of me.

Our state SHRM is working hard on changing our unemployment laws. There used to be a one week waiting period. Not any more. People who got termed for cause (like no-shows or theft) used to be ineligible. Not any more. Our fund even pays for peo…

Good for Oregon! My daughter worked at a daycare at a church for over 5 years. She had 2 children to support when she was termed. She did not qualify for unemployment because the daycare did not have to pay it. I approve and appreciate non-profi…

We have a tree up, and a few other decorations, but nothing that screams religion. Our dinner came out pretty good except for the gravy. It had so many lumps I ended up calling it Gravy Surprise (a surprise in every mouthful).

:welcome: PTO Buy Back If an employee has over 160 hours in his/her PTO bank, he/she may buy back a portion of their PTO hours. The hours bought back will be paid at 50% of their current hourly rate of pay. Buy backs must be in full hourly incre…

Please don't talk to Paul about changing screen names. His ordeal on FB was quite traumatic enough. Paul? You ok there buddy? Are you recovered?

IRS rules allow a maximum runout period of 90 days. You can make it shorter though. We currently allow 60 days.

Thank you! I am honored!

It sounds like a fund raiser for the non-profit organization, which I assume IS a charity of some kind. I know of many non-profits who are not charities, but they do not do fund raisers. Maybe it goes back to the old addage about ASSUME.

You can do it, provided it is strictly voluntary and completely outside their normal duties. It is not usually recommended though, because it can cause more headaches than it is worth. If you decide to go this way, communicate the reasons and the …

Do the employees feel there might be repercussions if they don't volunteer, or benefits (promotions, etc) if they do? Is the work they will be doing similar at all to their normal work? For instance, is someone who normally does janitorial work fo…

Joannie, when I feel like that I realize he can only be being a dork and go from there. ::pb&J::

Thank you, Paul, for the recommendation. It is true that I AM detail oriented, but I would have thought the story would come best straight from the horse's er..mouth. Here's the story: Paul tried one too many of the recipes in the same sitting. …

Well Coffee, at least you can select 'View First Unread' now instead of having to scroll down through the whole thing. One of the best improvements in the site when they updated it.

I guess I asked for it be resurrected. I wish I would think before I type.

This thread sure has a lot of posts. You don't think it will become like [gasp] TTWND do you?

What horrible customer service! I would expect them to at least tell you if you changed the name it could be reactivated, or how to change things over and what your new limits would be. I hope when you get back with them they have better answers.

Frank's real name is Frankincense. I know several people who have multiple FB profiles. I don't know how they do it as I can hardly keep up with mine. They do allow partial initials. My brother-in-law (who is having a birthday today) has JD and …
