  • We used to get about 220 requests for duplicate w2s a year until we put the info online with our payroll provider. I have to agree with you, I don't know how many times they were sitting in the Mortgage office and needed it faxed to them now! In d…

  • Our company of 16,000 does not have a written policy about repaying mishandled property. Reading your post though, it sounds like two issues. 1) The shredder woman was told not to jam the printer, etc. and still does it. This sounds like a situati…

  • I think you misunderstand. Why can today's religious community say that yes, slavery is wrong even though the Bible allows for it, but homosexuality is still wrong even though it's in the same book as the slavery part?

  • I hope I don't open a can of worms here, but I just have to ask a question. I agree with Paul in that the Old Testament especially, is about context and relating the situations to the time and place they were used and written. Having said that, I …

  • Thanks so much to everyone for replying! Luckily I have a wonderful job that will help with the bills and we had 3 months of his income in cash just in case... DonD- You know the AL state motto? Well, from everything I'm hearing, it will be ya'lls …

  • Another option is to go to the Company that made the payroll software. They will be more than happy to assist for a fee. They also may have a hotline or email support for free. If the software is very popular, you might also want to join a user sup…
    in Job is not what they said it would be Comment by Nrdgrrl August 2003
  • When I still worked in a retail environment, I had 4 commissioned associates poached while I was on a one week vacation. They offered a higher base salary, but apparently somewhere in the discussion it was lost that they would get bumped down $$$ if…

    in HR too nice. Comment by Nrdgrrl July 2003
  • I'm new here, but I thought I'd toss in my two cents. Regardless of the drug policy at the company, couldn't these associates claim that they are covered under the ADA and that a reasonable accommodation would be to give them a 12 week FML? I know …
