  • Our secretary was handing out the mail and came into my office with this magazine. She held it up and said "This is really creepy! I laughed, but have to admit that it is. It's just wrong.
  • Thanks much for your responses. I agree that this would be very hard to track. Being ethical goes way beyond social media. I'll ask the COO what he wants to accomplish and why. Paul, you crack me up!
  • I had the same thought as Joannie. Seems pretty fishy to me. If he is disabled to the point he can't take care at all, how will he live on his own?
  • I definitely agree with Cheryl. If someone cannot feel empathy towards a defenseless animal, where does that lack of empathy and compassion end? As a parent I would most definitely not want my child to be cared for by this person. But of course t…
  • I agree with Nae. Very unprofessional.

  • Ok, I have a question about this. Since this is not a part of their regular income, wouldn't this be considered supplemental wages and be bonus taxed? Beth
  • Thanks for the info Sharon. I'll definitetly take advantage of that.

  • Thanks Nae. I'll do exactly that.

  • Thanks Nae. Her doctor said she is expected to return the middle of July so it would only be another couple of weeks . I don't think it will be a hardship. So, ADA would come in to play if she was disabled from the surgery Since she is not able t…

  • Thanks so much! I'll pass this information on. I appreciate it.

  • OMG!! That's hilarious!
  • We use their PC Payroll product for payroll and I was told we"re been with them close to 20 years. We're upgrading to their PayForce product which is an online system. I know there's always issues but hope we don't have a headache like you've had.…
  • Which ADP solution are you using?
  • Where I work it is the CFO and the CEO who get involved. Sometimes the district managers. Apparently that has always been the case.
  • Yeah. What a nightmare it's been. I think Paychex might be all right if your company didn't have garnishments, vacation accruals, and no more than maybe 5 employees. We're going to have an intranet too so the managers can access all forms, manuals,…
  • Thanks much for the response. Yes, we will do this bi-annually since we do a lot of hiring. I appreciate it!
  • We also require all vacation and sick available to be used when an employee is on FMLA.

  • We consider it a voluntary term and it is addressed in our handbook.
  • If this is for real, this guy apparently is not too serious about finding a job. Who would do that?!?!?!?
  • Unemployment can be a sore subject with me. My experience so far is it depends on the judge when you ask for a hearing. It is subjective. We had an employee that was caught smoking pot in the cooler, and won his benefits, no matter how hard we fo…
  • I sent out a notice to all our stores and asked the managers to post it for their employees.
  • Oh, yes. I've heard of that before but never heard it called dirty Santa.
  • Dirty Santa? Or should I not ask?
  • Before my mom passed away we always spent Christmas Eve baking and preparing for Christmas Day. That is the one tradition that I miss the most. Now, my daughter and I do it together so we're making it our tradition now. And my most favorite part?…
  • Now THAT'S funny!!! =D>
  • Sheesh, our deductible this year is $1500 per person and $4500 for family. I wish ours was more like yours Nae. I'm not involved in the process but wish I could see more of the inner workings and know what drives their decsions. My part as far as …
  • We're self insured but Pacific Source administers our plan. From what the CFO says the benefit of being self insured is no longer there.
  • Our rates are going up 30%. We're self insured and that is the best our broker can do. I don't know what is going to happen yet. I heard from our CFO that they're looking at different options, one of which is the deductible might go up to $5000,…
  • Oh-h-h, you'd better duck, Nae. I think I'll move out of the way.

  • I haven't seen Better Off Ted but watch The Office every week. Love that show! I used to work for a bozo like Michael but now can laugh about it. He is an HR nightmare!
