  • Went to vote last evening after work since polls are not open when I leave in the morning. Amazing! What a crowd! Two hours and 21 minutes later I left the booth! And there were still 150-200 folks waiting outside to vote!

  • Debbie, Where to start.....if your company is incorporated, start with your Board of Directors. The BOD would adopt a document entitled "Enabling Resolutions" which basically states "titles" of those that can bind the company in the sale of produc…
  • Nat, If you would, I'd appreciate a copy of the "points back" system. I think it is something worth following up on! Thanks. Heidi [email]hbailey-haynal@rohmhaas.com[/email]
  • Seek legal counsel on this one. There are too many considerations and implications that could affect one or the other companies.
  • I believe the opposite should be the practice. In other words, according to the FLSA, for exempt employees, if the facility is open and the exempt employee chooses not to come in due to inclement weather, the company can properly deduct a full day …
