  • and worth every penny.
  • I think whether or not you use it depends on the type of people you are trying to bring into your organization. Paul uses FB to communicate with employees because so many of his employees are younger. The employees essentially live together and ke…
  • vgs: I am not from Pennseylvania so I hope you hear from someone from there soon. I can give you a few things to think about though. 1) I can't imagine any government or private authority allowing someone to drive a forklift when they are usi…
  • Just because you have to pay for unauthorized time doesn't mean you should forget looking over time sheets. If someone is getting unauthorized overtime, this is the fastest way to put a stop to it. Plus, it is easier to hold a supervisor accountab…
  • Ok. How do you have a great Employee Appreciation Event for 14 employees on $250? 1) Family Video - had a square tub with a packet of microwavable popcorn for $1.69. Also had large movie size candy for the same price. Bought 14 of each (7 kinds …
  • Do your policies address this at all? Many companies allow donated time, but you need to set some guidelines if you want to follow suit. For instance, will the hours go across as hour for hour, or dollar value for dollar value? Will you have a li…
  • Reminds me of a bad Friday I had in 1997 where I interviewed 2 people at the end of the day. There was not a lot to choose from the resumes I had received, but I chose the top 2. The first one walked in and told me she had been alcohol free for se…
  • I looked up insubordination at dictionary.com to be sure that I understood the term perfectly: in·sub·or·di·nate   /ˌɪnsəˈbɔrdnɪt/ Show Spelled[in-suh-bawr-dn-it] Show IPA –adjective 1.not submitting to authority; disobedient: an insubordinate s…
  • Wont' work. I won't be able to see them through my tears.
  • The event will be this coming Tuesday. I asked the employees to choose from We Are Marshall, Remember the Titans, Rudy and Hoosiers. We Are Marshall won. A few employees came to me privately and suggested Blind Side. So I am renting both and wil…
  • Woo-hoo! I have been promoted from Hall Monitor to Chief of Police! Woo-hoo! Uh..does that come with benefits or pay?
  • BAD Frank! Bad, bad Frank!
  • I think I will need a little help here catching you up, but here is a start: Paul has gone undercover for a television show. Frank has started a group to stop discrimination against the pantless. Joannie won a contest for best title of a new soci…
  • I thought we had to pay for second opinions, but this is the first I have heard that we have to pay for recert. Did this come about with the new regs?
  • You need to treat these employees as you do any other employee. I.E.: Send their job descriptions to their doctors and ask if the employees are able to perform the essential duties of the job. Once you have documentation they can or cannot, then y…
  • Some very good points made here. It is definitely a case by case situation in which you want to always stay on the safe side. Frank: What if you had an employee who was on their feet 6-8 hours at your place, and then 4-6 hours at a 2nd job. They…
  • Yes. Quite a few people on FB were warning others about that website. Most of my info is wrong, but I found it interesting that the answers I gave on a survey (which was to be kept private) on my hobbies showed up. The survey was at least 5-8 yea…
  • I think it will succeed simply because so many people like negative gossip, and so many want to unload their frustrations without caring whom they harm. You can see it by simply reading some of the comments after a news story. Give people anomynit…
  • Can we find Paul or Frank on there? I'm not worried about myself, mind you. Just others.
  • You just have to be super careful. I remember reading a case where the employee went on fmla due to stress, but kept her second job. The employer fired her for working while on fmla claiming she was committing fmla fraud. She sued. She won. Her…
  • Definitely FMLA related. As far as her 2nd job is concerned, you don't have to reduce her hours if she is doing the same kind of work. For instance, if you both require her to be on her feet. However, if her job with you requires her to be on her…
  • [QUOTE=ACU Frank;719553]Understood. But why the extra comma?[/QUOTE] You are making fun of [I]my[/I] punctuation? Really? HA! :ball and chain:
  • See Frank. See Frank and Paul. See Frank and Paul joke. See no one laugh. Sorry, years of public education.
  • Sigh. Some people never grow up. Paul: You make a good point. It is easy for us to admire what we see as determination and courage from afar. I am sure it is less so close up if the employee got on the plane from lack of common sense rather th…
  • One of the best ones we ever did was have someone from our clinic call one of our employees, say they were from the health department and were trying to reach his girlfriend, and inform him that the test results were positive. The employee was dati…
  • Update. I heard from this applicant AGAIN telling me she has all this experience in the field we were looking for. If so, WHY didn't she put it in her resume? Almost all of it had to do with other things. She went on to tell me she never sends b…
  • Absolutely! But it is still fun for Kansans and people who live in Topeka particularly. It's a good, but unexpected, way to promote Topeka. The city is always trying to attract attention for new business growth. And THIS is definitely attention.
  • Why don't you just pay a higher rate for special projects? I think it would be better to standardize what type of work you give out and the rate for each then to try to the route that has been suggested.
  • I agree with Paul. A company who holds a sign up on a street corner to get me to come work for them would repel me. I would suggest first that you let your parents know that you are looking for people and ask if they know anyone. You can also pos…
  • I was able to explain why she was not considered for the position as the ad clearly stated what we were looking for in our candidates. I only hesitated because it really sounded more like a gripe response than a question to me. I took Cathy's advi…
