  • [QUOTE=Sharon McKnight SPHR;718755] How long was he in that job? How much per hour does that equate to? Let's see. I think Conan has been on the Tonight Show less than a year, but let's just give him a year. At $40,000,000, his hourly rate, if we …
  • I don't know if I am a lock person or not, but my hubby is a serious lock person. If he had his way we would lock the door while we are working in the yard 10 feet from the front door. I refuse to lock the door when I am working om the yard, but I…
  • It would depend upon our arrangement beforehand. If I agreed the old employee could come back and made sure the new employee understood the situation, then I would follow through. (It would probably make me feel bad and I would try to find some wa…
  • Remember, you are paying an exempt employee for the job they do, not the hours they keep. The only exception on hours is if the employee is needed to be there for a specific reason (example: a supervisor needs to work the same hours as their employ…
  • You do have a bit of a crazed look in your eye. Mental note: do not check ANY boxes while around Frank.
  • I have only had one occassion where an employee refused to sign a document. I turned it over, wrote "refused to sign" with a line under it and handed it to the employee. The employee signed it without hesitation.
  • -1 at almost 9am here, with a low tonight expected of around -15. That is actual temp, not wind shield temps. Those are expected to be 15-25 degrees colder. Cold weather has made some employees grumpy, so the weather is not the only thing sending…
  • I follow the CEO of Zappos on Twitter. He seems like a great leader, and since his company has come so far it would seem he has lead them to success. His ideas are innovative, and sometimes hard for us old die hards to fathom. When I first heard …
  • IF you have a health insurance program which covers domestic partners and they are NOT legally considered spouses or qualified IRS dependents, then you treat the company's cost difference between single coverage and the cost of covering the domestic…
  • My husband works for the state which has a similar program, and has submitted at least 2 ideas over the years. The first idea earned him $500. The 2nd idea was something he kept putting forward to his supervisor over and over again. The superviso…
  • Dutch, I don't have any warmer weather to send you though it did actually get up to 20 yesterday. (woo-hoo!). It looks like we are going to get the same storm too as we are expecting the snow to start again today and continue on through tomorrow. …
  • I can get my hubby to work, but the medical bills would put us in the poor house. If mowing the yard means a trip to emergency (shattered toes), and cutting down a little twig trying to turn into a tree in the fence line (chain saw head buzz) equals…
  • Err..would he consider that a low...nevermind.
  • Celeste lets please not talk about the weather. It has warmed up to 5 degrees (feels like -6) and we have a couple of feet of snow on the ground. The Christmas blizzard did come to a stop, but it keeps snowing and the artic blast is making things …
  • Hi Coffee! I took 4768905 to mean the job was exempt, but they wanted to pay a particular employee doing the job hourly. That would be a case of 'exceeding' legal requirements and so is permissable by law. Of course, I am also assuming they are d…
  • Has this person's job changed? Your REASONS for making the change from exempt to hourly make the difference between being ok and running into trouble. If the job changed, then you rewrite the job description to fit the new duties and responsibili…
  • [QUOTE=joannie;718632]Of course, if our current elected officials have their way, we all may be required to provide paid sick leave. IMO that will be another nail in the coffin for business. Wonder how long a government only economy will be able t…
  • Thanks Joannie! I was fairly certain we were ok, but wanted to make sure.
  • Plan Administrators have 14 days to send out COBRA information/forms.
  • I actually enjoyed that. Thank you.
  • I keep taking mini-breaks for stress relief. Between the holidays, the little isses with my grandchildren (emergency - 3 year old had croop, eye surgery on 3 year old, and a week later 5 year old had to be anesthesized to get a bean out of his ear)…
  • Welllll....it's important to have an open mind or it is just a waste of resources.
  • web search for holiday jokes...more to come later :cool:
  • I've been to something that migh qualify as a LGAT, but no one humiliated me or anything like that. It was a series of different exercises, some small, some large, some done with one or two people (sometimes strangers and sometimes not), some done …
  • [QUOTE=Sharon McKnight SPHR;718528]Anyone want to make a prediction or two for the new year? What will you be doing different next year? What will keep you up at night next year? Hmmm?[/QUOTE] Predictions: Economy will continue to slowly impro…
  • Everyone keeps asking for a 'dislike' button, but in this circumstance I don't think hitting that one would have been cool either. It is interesting when your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and/or their friends forget they 'friended' you…
  • Yes, it was definitely not work-appropriate material.
  • [QUOTE=Paul in Cannon Beach;718474]Russell's mess up is pretty tame compared to these Facebook Fails. [URL]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/08/the-funniest-facebook-sna_n_383847.html[/URL] I love the boss that comments on his employee's whi…
  • =D> You're not getting older; you're getting better.
  • [QUOTE=joannie;718445]I'm sending her drinks. [/QUOTE] I'm sure she appreciates them, but they won't improve her farm (only her outlook about it. )
