  • Q - I think innuendo and boob are both (?) serious subjects, similar to previous posters statements about not posting to this thread (repeatedly). But they both could be petering out as they have aged considerably the last couple of days. We all k…
  • Quote from Missk: "Also, I didn't see what the big deal was when a colleague brushed past me a couple years back and said "I JUST FELT YOUR BOOB!" but that doesn't mean I can't understand why it might be offensive to someone else." Be it known I di…
  • CSI Paul, good job! Full handle is Jim Meathead Allsteaks, or just Meathead. There have been of course other more descriptive nouns, but I digress.
  • Geez I hope not; I think she's pretty cool based on her posts. Besides, I hate cats! HRQ calling me "meathead" touches my sensitive side..
  • Meathead ain't all that bad to me! I guess I wasn't very clear, but my irony was more of an outside looking in view, i.e., recently started participating. Sorry it was clearer.
  • It just seems ironic that the 500th post would refer to "Poopiehead". Somehow it all makes sense now! Thanks for allowing me to participate!
  • Hopefully one of you longer term participants will be able to be the celebrity 500th threader. GOFOIT.
  • Since I've only been reading this forum for the last few months, can someone please summarize all of the meaningful issues that have been discussed and conceptualized since this thread began in October? Surely there have been many; numerous? Maybe…
  • If the story must end as is, so be it. It certainly leaves the door wide open for a sequel, maybe even a series!! But I really believe it should be continued on "Son of...", Paul's home thread, instead of here. I've really enjoyed wasting valuable…
  • And how can "analytical" be pronounced with a short "a"? Wouldn't that be "annalytical"? "Analytical" will a long first "a" makes more sense.....
  • Okay, round one was awesome, so my betting line remains the same: Paul by 1 in the 4th. BTW Paul, why isn't this on Son of...? Take this over there and bring the Shariah thread here. More fitting for the theme. MissK is making it much toooo seri…
  • TIME OUT! We need time to evaluate both combatants and set the betting lines before the next chapter/encounter. ACLU (oops, I mean ACU) Frank displays a strong arm but likely has no mobility and as a former qb, doesn't like anyone touching him (no…
  • Man, I need to get on here earlier in the day to help Paul maintain the integrity of Son of.... Have you found an eject button yet?
  • >She must be a right wing Republican. One can only hope.
  • Thanks, I needed that.....
  • It's becoming much clearer why Paul started Son of..... LOOK AT YOURSELVES!!! You've allowed your rhetoric to be reduced to petty name calling and excrement synonyms! For the love of julie elgar, please don't continue to degrade and defecate yours…
  • Our Accounting Dept. developed our reimbursement policies and they control/audit all petty cash accounts.

  • I didn't think the rule change required applicants to be offered self id, only existing employees and new hires. Please let us know if you learn differently in your research Q. We already had current employees complete the form and now just do new…
  • WILD - We are revising our info manual so I would appreciate a copy of yours that has already been reviewed (passed muster, I like that). Email: [email]allsteaks@yahoo.com[/email] On the discussion of pay/salary, I agree with both of you; an emplo…
  • For the first time ever I had an unpaid intern last summer. She was in town for summer break and wanted to spend time learning what HR is all about. We did not give her any duties, no assigned work hours (just agreed to), and had her sign a hold h…
  • One of the problems we have had is dealing with a 3 or 3.5% increase in salary budget limits the amount of discretion, i.e. merit, for managers to distribute. A normal merit system encourages rewarding high performers but does little to provide rec…
  • Can't make the lunch, don't have any pot, but I wish you all a lot of luck!!!! Just kidding. Joannie I do believe you enjoy stirring the pot as much as Paul; I like that attack mode! I didn't watch the MSN clip because I really don't care what s…
  • Was Saturday a voluntary or mandatory day? Do your exempts always or more often than not work 6 days per week? Do you add compensation for Saturday work? It the exempt missed on Wednesday instead of Monday, would it change anything? If you have …
  • The 5 hour limitation must be a State reg. because FLSA does not require breaks at any particular time. We're in Kansas and have no such State limitations, although our labor agreements have language addressing time limitations between breaks. Sor…
  • This could vary by state but here we would count all hours towards overtime. We also pay for to and from travel time for training, assuming it is away from the EE's community and work location. But this travel pay is our choice and may or may not …
  • Nae's assessment is exactly correct. It may be frustrating, and yes it does have the smell of BS, but it's still the law. For you risk takers, what's the chance of getting caught if you don't report it? Probably slim, but if you know better ya go…
  • Thank you, that's good to know!!
  • Our guidelines say they can claim up to 7; 8 and above have to sent to IRS. But you need more opinions than just mine.
  • We choose to be somewhat generous and well within the requirements in these situations. We pay the employee from the time he leaves home (reasonable transit time) to the airport, to their arrival time at their destination hotel. We believe they ar…
  • At a former employer we had employees go to their work stations and set it all up, about 15 minutes worth of work, then go back and punch in! Some supervisors didn't understand why this was a problem and allowed, probably encouraged, the behavior. …
