How did I not know that was coming? 8-|

A word about screen covers. If you do get your employee one, I recommend getting the kind that just reduces glare instead of a privacy screen. The privacy screens are great for allowing employees to sit at their desk and surf the Internet instead of…

I have dealt with this in the past and when we set up a new office space installed parabolic lens to combat the problem. They force light directly down rather than spread out across the ceiling. For folks with light sensitive vision, working on a co…

Ever wonder how many people write their own reference letters? I'm guessing a lot. Most people are so busy, it's easier to tell someone who's asked them for a letter to just "write it and email it to me and I'll print it out and sign it and then mai…

I watched it for the first time last night and I agree with all the issues Celeste raised. The only thing I can add is that this show is incredibly boring. Sharon

I agree with Frank. :-O

Call me cynical, but I think the whole thing was an effort to hang onto his income. He's already lost two endorsement deals and a public apology will go a long way towards appeasing the rest of the companies he has endorsement deals with. My guess…

You might try employee round table discussions. I know some believe that employees won't be open about what they really think but I've found employees to be very open in this environment. If you decide to do this, I suggest asking for a volunteer f…

Students who make defamatory comments about their teachers (or anyone else for that matter) whether in person or online will probably have to answer for those comments at some point. If the party to which they refer can prove their comments are fals…

[quote=cnghr;719046]That was great, Frank. The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies, and was one of my favorite books before it was made into a movie.[/quote] Mine too! I read it way back in the 70's. Great book, even better than the movie.

The term date should definitely not be before the date the employee was scheduled to return to work. Also, if you have any other types of leave, such as personal leave or short term disability, that are available to employees that do not, per your…

[quote=Paul in Cannon Beach;719017]I just watched the preview for the episode where the CEO of hooters goes to work undercover and witnesses a restaurant manager force his waitresses to participate in a degrading "contest". I have known some sadi…

I'm not very familiar with pay cards and am curious about a couple of things. Are they issued a new card each pay period or do they get one card that is "re-filled" each pay period? If they lose the card and report it quickly are they issued a new…

Hi, I telecommute a couple of days a week myself and really enjoy the extra time not fighting traffic provides me with. My commute is an hour each way, so telecommuting gives me 4 more hours each week to do silly things like read a book, clean hous…

I never found anything in the regs that says using certified mail is a requirement but I always used it, with a return receipt requested. Also, I explained to employees that they would be getting notices from me that would be sent via certified mail…

2 inches of snow and sleeting now. Yuck!

[quote=ljackson1;718895]Be sure that your policy expands the definition of "drugs" and includes that equipment operators may not be under the influence of any prescribed medications that instruct against such operation.[/quote] Hi, Glad to see your…

Working at home (30 miles south of Nashville) today. Thank you Tony! Anyway, we have about an inch of snow so far and it's coming down very steady. The prediction for my area is 6-9 inches. I'm gonna have to see that to believe it. It hasn't snow…

Frank, Well, I have to say that you just made me, truly, laugh out loud. What a hoot. Maybe I should send you a copy of the paper I wrote for school about how Ayn Rand took the ideals she expressed in her writing to such an extreme that she ruined…

[quote=Paul in Cannon Beach;718815]Tonight is Coco's last show. My understanding is that NBC is paying him $40 million to leave BUT they will deduct any future salary he earns from his next show from this amount. So if Fox hires him for $25 millio…

There was a story in the news here a few years ago about a man who ran into a convenience store and left his car unlocked, engine running, baby in back seat, and the car was stolen. He swore he was only in the store for a few minutes. Talk about a h…

If you charge a premium for after-hours services, then you might consider paying employees who respond to those calls that same percentage. For example, if you are a plumbing contractor and you normally charge $60 an hour for your services and you …

As with most programs, there are good ones and some that are not so good. Sounds top me like you have one that's not so good, Frank. Sharon

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, even if it is wrong. The process of developing, and consistently maintaining, a thorough BCP is helpful. At the very least it makes people take steps to protect their assets and, during a crisis, provi…

Not a bad deal at all and that gag clause is pretty standard in severance agreements. But, in this case, the $$ amount is huge. 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 Sh…

[quote=3959635;718714]HELP There is a concern that we have exempt people not coming to work on time or maybe not working a minimum of 40 hours. I have been asked to institute an everyone must punch a time clock policy. I thought I had learned t…

You also might want to look at whether reduced hours has an adverse impact on benefits, vacation time accruals, etc. Sharon
