I am sitting here with a Diet Coke in my hand at this very moment and I can assure you that the words "Under God" do not appear anywhere on the can. As far as what God has to do with soda goes, I can tell you that there have been many times when I…

I haven't been following all the election stuff very closely lately so I didn't know about what Romney said last night but I watched him on the Today show this morning when they asked him about Pakistan in the wake of Benazir Bhutto's murder and the…

For once, Santa didn't assume my heart's desire was tools or kitchen gadgets, and I got a beautiful necklace, a lighted makeup mirror, and an IOU for a new cell phone. (Apparently, Santa's workshop was out of the model I wanted, so I'll get that …

Okay, I'm back from my long holiday weekend. Ray guessed my real name and my age (not that I didn't leave some big hints!) I could've lived with being called Charro if somebody could grant me half her energy....she's in her 60's and last time I sa…

I'm glad I passed the initiation. If you call me Pat it will just confuse me; I normally use at least some part of my real name when I do these kinds of boards so even answering to cnghr is weird. Here's a few clues to my gender: I love fashion…

Sheesh, there's an initiation test? You guys are a lot tougher than the other boards I've been on! Okay, I've been lurking on this forum for a little while before jumping in here and I've assumed the name was pronounced "Jo-Annie" so I'm going to …

Thanks for the warning and the welcome, joannie! I LOVE the Mtn Dew tree...I have a major Diet Coke habit myself, so I may have to start saving up the cans this year and do the same thing with those.

I do, and it's really clever!

Thanks, Joannie. I was just thinking I ought to go on the website and see if the new form was out there yet, and you saved me the trouble!

A large number of the courses we reimburse for are online courses. These days so many classes are offered that way....I took an HR Management course through our local college several years ago and it was all done online. Unless you really have s…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-23-09 AT 11:24AM (CST)[/font][br][br]My husband's company keeps their handbook on their Intranet, which is what we do. However, when they told him he could pull it up on the computer and look at it a…

Well, we discovered the answer. Not that it makes us particularly happy, but here it is: the company's employee handbook (which we finally managed to get our hands on a copy of) states that the pay periods end the 15th and last working day of the …

I knew there was no federal law regarding it, and I know in my state they say that you are required to let your employees know when paydates are and pay on those dates or give prior notice if you change a paydate, but I'm beginning to think my husba…

I also work for a bank, and having the payroll direct deposit accounts here makes it so much easier for all involved. When we pay, we don't have to go through the normal direct deposit process, we just receive a file from our payroll provider and w…

Our heating/cooling system is set up in "zones", where several offices are (supposedly) regulated by a thermostat in one office. My office is one with a thermostat in it, but when I have it set so it's comfortable in my office there's cold air jus…

What everybody else has already said. It's great that you want to help out this employee and too bad about his home situation, but wage deductions are not the way to go in a case like this, nor is taking on the responsibility of paying your employ…

Not all ATMs accept deposits anymore. Ours don't.

I've worked for a bank for 25 years and all of our branches have always had lobby hours until at least 5:30 p.m. Prior to my coming to work here, they did close the doors at 4 p.m. but had walk-up or drive-up windows open until 5:30 p.m. I agre…

That's been a bit of an ongoing issue for us, since we dropped the COLA increases. Even though we call all the increases given during our semi-annual salary review periods "merit increases", that begins to be thought of as an entitlement also. I …
-
We cut out cost of living increases about ten years ago and all of our increases are merit increases, generally capped at 3%. Athough if a manager wants to give someone a higher increase in our case they aren't under the constraint to remain budget…

I was being a bit facetious when I asked about the term "anesthesiologist"...I've heard that some spa and salon treatments can be painful (waxing, etc.) but never that it would actually require sedation! The term the OP was actually looking for was …
-
This is not an answer to your question, but I just wondered if I'm missing something here...do hair salons/spas normally have anesthesiologists on staff?

Our policy covers "spouse, parent, child, sibling; the employee's spouse's parent, child, or sibling; the employee's child's spouse; grandparents or grandchildren. Special consideration will also be given to any other person whose association with …

We have had an HSA for a couple of years now. We did extensive education the year we switched, and have done meetings a couple of time since then, but it's really not a terribly popular benefit with our employees. I think the highest participation…

Once they are gone, we apply the service charge immediately. This has always been our policy.

I ran into this recently when my husband took a new job. He was going to opt out because he's already covered under my plan, but he was told that since his employer pays 100%, he HAD to go on the plan. We asked the benefits person at his employer…

We've offered an HSA for several years now. Although it's never been a big seller with our employees, we have a few who have thought all along that it was a great idea and have participated in it from the beginning. At open enrollment this year we …

Nine regular holidays plus one floating holiday.
