I agree with both of you. So now because someone has decided they don't like the day we give thanks for everything we have and have accomplished we can no longer call it Thanksgiving? This is not religious it was started by the founding fathers whe…

Kind of makes you wonder if this person is doing this in the bathroom than what is he/she doing in the kitchen...the refrigerator...his/her office...the meeting room? Yuck! Also what is he/she capable of doing in a more destructive manner, sounds l…

OH No! Have you never visited a restroom at a truck stop where all those male truck drivers park their trucks? My husband is a truck driver and I can tell you that Men can be very gross!

We sell Health Food Products wholesale to stores and independents that sell them for retail. We also sell bulk carrot powder, beet powder, barley powder for uses in other processing by other companies. We also have a line of skin care products, soa…

I started with the company when we had 6 employees. I did all the bookkeeping, A/P, Payroll, Taxes, Banking and whatever else needed done. Than we grew and for a number of years I did the Payroll, Banking and A/P as my degree was in Accounting. …

Earl, I am a one person HR department. I started as HR Administrator , than more duties were added and I became HR Manager. This last year I have been promoted to HR Director because now I am totally responsible for many senior management function…

This depends on how your insurance company has written your benefit summary. I would contact them and talk to them about it. They may work out something with you, or they may say you need to wait. It is different for each company depending on how …

Okay I agree with you Tracy. Also welcome to the forum. I would call the employee into my office (so I am on my turf) and I would say to him " It appears you have been leaving a little earlier this week." Is there a reason for this or do you just …

I always talk to the employee before I go to their boss. Most of the time the employee will imporve and that is as far as it goes. I always talk to them privately and not in front of the rest of the staff so it is not a big issue with the rest of t…

Competition is good. I am suprised that other stores havent challenged Walmart. If that many people go there there has to be a reason. If people stopped going than Walmart could not put other stores out of business. Maybe other stores should fig…

Ditto on Sears. They have poor customer service, but the store which treated me the worst was J.C. Penny's. They have the snootiest clerks of any store in the nation..maybe the world. I much prefer to shop at Dillards or Macy's. Clothing is one th…

Correct you are. I go either before work or after work. Don't ever go at noon hour. And never go at Halloween or Christmas time. You might get mobbed. I do love thier outside garden center. It just has everything from plants to building blocks. …

They are in it for the money the same as most major chains. When McDonalds sets up a new store next to a small cafe they usually previal. We had a little coffee express store here that we all loved and Moxie Java set up right next to it and now we …

Paul, I know that Walmart has some bad media, however, they do offer opportunities to those that other's do not. They employ handicapped and older americans. We have a young man named Michael at one of our Walmart's that is Down's Syndrome and he is…

I agree with doing all the same time. I handled it a bit differently. I did have a couple of managers help me because we have to escort the employee to their desk and then to the door. I did my RIF first thing in the morning. I also had all the pa…

A Manager is the employee that manages the department and a supervisor is the employee that supervises the other employees. The supervisor reports to the Manager. The supervisor is is charge of scheduling, and keeping the staff working and solving…

I agree with the consistency in regards to all employees, and I think it is needed and necessary to keep from being sued for discrimination. I also agree that some rules are not written in stone and with good documentation exceptions can be made. …

I don't know about CD's, however, we all have some tapes in a pool that are accessible to all which can be played with the media player. Just turn it on and shrink it down. I have several employees that shut their door, turn on their media player mu…

Marla, I would be interested in your MAGIC program. What criteria are you using for picking the winners and what do they actually do to be nominated for the program. That is a great idea! I like the name and what it stands for. Shirley

One of the largest morale boosters I have seen in our company is the supervisor walking over to the employee and actually saying "Bob you did a great job on the P&L's this month" "Thank You". Or "Jane, I have noticed how polite you are to the cu…

This arrangement is done often. It helps the employee find another job and also helps with the withholding taxes. It is not illegal at all. The only downfall for the employee is he cannot draw unemployment until this arrangement is finished. We had…

Our Attendance policy is rather long. I will just email it to you. Shirley

I like the BLR surveys and I also use the State's Occupational Handbook survey's. They usually are fairly compatable with each other. The BLR has a lot more detail especially on salary ranges. Shirley

Okay, I guess I deserved that. No we do not live in Walden Pond. We do know about stress and extra work. I had to deal with a huge cut in staff over a complete reorganization. It was awful, I know about the stress, but I was fortunate and my rem…

Sounds like you are doing your best. It is hard in an office of women at minimum wage. You don't have a lot of options and women do tend to talk more. Sometimes things work for one company that do not work for another. All you or anyone else can…

Not you Frank...I was replying to Marc. I do believe that if employees are talking that much about things to cause an uproar than there must be problems somewhere. Not in a bad way, but in a constructive way. Perhaps there are steps that need to b…

If you have a company culture that is such than I do feel for you. Our company is not like that. My employees do not have that mindset. I think it is because everyone is so happy to be here. We are really good to our employees and they feel a part…

missk, Great Job explaining. I totally agree with you. Shirley

I support your thoughts Frank. I think we are on the same wage length. I guess it is all a choice and policy company per company and HR representative per HR representative. I am not changing my methods they have worked well for 24 years for me..…

In protecting your company you may be doing them more harm. If the papers are current, correct, and all in order and the attorney sees this he will not take the case, but will say to the employee you do not have a case. If you are reluctant or ref…
