  • If you take a close look, you can see how much of a Wal Mart's inventory comes from CHINA.(cringe- look at our nation's trade deficit ! ) But you do not see Wal Mart itself bragging about that! I try very hard to buy American-made products at our Ri…
  • My father in law was urgently admitted to a hospital in a far away State last April 1st. There was no tine to sign a release form. The attending doctor refused to talk to anyone over the phone ! So in these kind of cases, how is the family to find o…
  • Why does the customer ( me ) have to ask for paper bags ? A lot of markets don't even use paper bags. Instead we get this cheap plastic that doesn't hold much. Remember the old days when ice cream was put in paper "ice-cream bags"? Chari
  • Years ago, in one of my first jobs in America, as a Bookkeeper - the Boss gave me a cake for my birthday ~ and then told me I was being laid off...PS: that company went out of business eventually. Chari
  • Chocolate ice-cream with a cup of coffee ! Chari
  • Did the reason the pastor switch from the first church to the second have anything to do the congregation ...or lack of? Have a good weekend! Chari
  • Christy- Congratulations ! May your new son give you and yours many joys in all the years to come. Keep us posted with everything that happens ! Chari
  • Parabeagle- Certainly, there is more than enough snow in New Jersey to cover Mt. Hood and my front yard ! Chari
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-20-03 AT 10:24AM (CST)[/font][p]Oh, yes! I would be glad to have a truckload..it would be the "in-thing", snow among the palm trees here in Riverside. When can you ship? Thanks ! Chari
  • The gas at the station near my house went up 6 cents overnight to 1.80 ...I wonder what they will be tomorrow...? Chari
  • Sonny: Let us still remember the common people living in Iraq, how much they have suffered and will suffer. Pray for them. My parents lived under the Japanese occupation in Manila. They were lucky to have survived. The city was ruined when the Amer…
  • I am just going to have to get uo earlier on the weekends, and actually rode my bicycle last Saturday. During the week, I am up at 3:45 am, leave home at 5 am ,to get to the factory by 7 am - that's plenty early enough! Chari
  • Keep trying to make time to exercise more ( my resolution ), but so much to do after the 2 hour drive home during the week, and weekends are for just going around on errands. Chari
  • Finally got an attic of my own last November 20th. Moved with my husband and step-daughter into a nice '20s bungalow. Imagine me, a grandmother of four - getting a house. America is truly the land of opportunity. The attic is empty now, but I am sur…
  • Hey people, whatever, do NOT fill out those forms at the mall that supposedly give you the chance to win a new car ! Those forms ask for work and home telephone numbers. I did fill out just one form, and regretted it. The form was copied and passed …
  • The owners do it on a case by case basis, paying up to $ 2,000 for management new hire moving costs . In the last three years, this has been used for three employees. Only one - myself - is still here. The other two have moved out of this area. Gra…
  • For each employee, under the old policy of anniversary date - calculate their accrued vaction and taken vacation from their hire date up to 12/31 ( the day before the NEW policy became effective ). This means researching old payroll records from wa…
  • I went through this myself years ago. Got hold of the Federal Dept. of Labor, explained that I was owed $1200. Feds called former employer, who sent a check to me pronto ! Chari [email]calter@iopener.net[/email]
  • Is there an Owner you can go to ? - go to him/her, and calmly detail the situation re the Office Manager . Does the handbook state disciplinary procedures ? If so, were the written procedures followed in the case of the quickly fired employee ? Sug…
  • Am I to understand that your new policy means that an employee who is tardy , say 10 minutes, will not be paid for the 1/4 hour - resulting in 15 minutes without pay? Meaning , in such an example,the employee worked five minutes without pay....Do yo…
  • An easier way to do it would be to have these two executives take pay cuts. Chari
  • It would be simpler and cheaper to pay for exact time worked, and less open to attack by lawyers - rather than go through all this rounding either up or down. Chari
  • Our Company CPA said that the IRS considers that cash payments to employees during the holidays to be taxable and must be recorded in the Payroll records. Chari
  • In the absence of policies , regulations, CBA - if you do not pay, you are going to run into a morale problem if these employees don't get anything for showing up on a normal day off. Chari
  • Ask the following: Have the powers-that-be compared the potential savings of outside PR processing costs vs. the potential liability if a tax payment is made late or a tax form filled out wrong? Our monthly processing costs are about $ 250 - for 3…
  • In all these cases, I pay right away when our error is caught..do a calculation in the payroll system for a voucher entry, and pay out of petty cash - no matter how small or large . My immediate attention to this lets the employees know that I am fa…
  • You can reduce the pay - suggest you have goals clearly communicated to the employee by which he/she can aim to improve performance by a certain time and thus get pay increases. Chari
  • And when you do put them on payroll, pay what the job is worth but no less than minimum wage. Age is irrelevant in determing wages to be paid. A 28-yr old with no experience in stuffing envelopes should get the same rate as a teenager with no experi…
  • At the beginning , I was very lucky to get a top-notch Paychex rep each step of the way: sales, installation and support. Payroll is done via Internet, easy as pie and no problems. The reports come out right and on time. Quality each step of the way…
  • Not paying earned vacation here in California upon termination is asking for trouble. Pay it, and save yourself the attorneys fees. Chari
