  • Living most of my 44 years in Kentucky, with a Dad and brother who live and breathe Kentucky Basketball, it was a hard loss to take. But these guys are great. We have one of the best coaches around. Next year, since we will only lose 2 seniors, look…
    in KENTUCKY Comment by jmcaa March 2005
  • I lived just outside of Dallas in 1984 and there was about 1 to 1-1/2 inches of snow there. Coming from Kentucky where we get snow, it was pretty funny to see how excited people were. The ladies I worked with were all saying they didn't know if they…
  • Ray, Boy, are you right! What a disturbing website! It made me sick to think there is someone out there right now who would think this way and actually publish it for the world to see. Makes you wonder how many people the owner of the website has m…
    in VOTE Comment by jmcaa December 2004
  • I told my husband that K-Mart and Sears would be merging. I also told him that the new name will be "SMART." Of course, I was just kidding!

  • Don, My husband is voting this year (he doesn't always) I'm sure he would like to know where your poll party is! If that happens where we vote, I guarantee that he will continue to vote everytime!
  • That woman's right to make a decision about HER body and HER life took place when she DECIDED to have unprotected sex.
    in Why Kerry? Comment by jmcaa October 2004
  • Whirlwind, As a woman I resent your last statement. A woman and/or man's choice is BEFORE you have sex. Once you have chosen to embark upon having sex, there could or could not be consequences. I believe it is cowardly to have an abortion. Face the …
    in Why Kerry? Comment by jmcaa October 2004
  • Did anyone notice the similaries between Bill Clinton and John Kerry during the debate? I could swear that John Kerry watched Bill's mannerisms and tried to copy them EXACTLY. John Edwards did the same thing! How comfortable is it to everyone to u…
  • Tell the people of Iraq that "we could control him and keep his activities in check." What about the pain and suffering caused by his sons? I don't think the people of Iraq believe 'we could control him and keep" him in check. Yes, there was misinf…
  • The United Nations, of which we are a part, had given Saddam many chances to stop making weapons of mass destruction. Inspectors were sent in to Iraq and still Saddam would not let them conduct inspections when and where they needed. This was the be…
  • It is NOT because he had an "immoral roll-in-the-hay," but the FACT that he could LIE to EVERY American without batting an eye and keep denying it! He LIED under OATH! If the President of the United States does not take the OATH to "Tell the Truth, …
  • We just had a lawsuit dismissed BECAUSE we HAD the SIGNED HANDBOOK ACKNOWLEDGEMENT form. x:D
  • Explain to the employee that IF they receive a raise each year then the vacation time and/or sick leave they use AFTER that raise is at the current pay rate, therefore the same would apply whether the EE's rate goes up OR down for when the time is a…
  • Instead of giving the salary increases for "above and beyond" why don't you just give someone a one-time bonus for this that way they are being thanked for going above and beyond, but not for the rest of their employment. Change the level of raises…
  • I'd change it immediately. All you need is one employee to call DOL and complain to get in serious trouble! BTW Geno - ditto on everything you said!
  • Yes
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-07-05 AT 08:34AM (CST)[/font][br][br]We have an "Election Form" in which the employee authorizes the Payroll Department to deduct a specific amount for their health insurance premiums. This form has t…
  • Sorry, I think the whole thing stinks. Your office workers/supervisor made a HUGE mistake. When they let her go from 40 hours to 30 hours THAT was the time to sit her down and give her the reduction in salary so that she and the accounting departmen…
  • Just as Popeye suggests, I would NOT allow the two 15 minutes breaks to be taken at lunch with the employee leaving the premises during that time. If the secretaries still want the 1 hour lunch, I would expect them to work until 5:00 pm each day. I…

  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-24-04 AT 10:57AM (CST)[/font][br][br]We have two employees who work 4-10 hour days each week. We only get Thanksgiving off as holiday pay. Everyone gets 8 hours paid for the Holiday. Doesn't matter wh…
  • Pork, I know this issue gets you going more than any other, x:D but the only thing she wants to know is how many hours to charge for the vacation day from their vacation bank. I would charge the 4 hours toward vacation. This is just an internal re…
  • I disagree with Pork. We keep time records on our Exempt Employees. IF you have job costing, then you need the records of which jobs they worked on and how much time they put in. So that's another reason to have exempt time cards.
  • No, the owner told him they "don't pay while you are being trained." My sister is going to call the Wage and Hour people in Louisville, KY today. Evidently other employees have had trouble getting paid also. I don't understand why, because the tow…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-04-04 AT 08:35AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Tell your DO that it is a FEDERAL LAW to pay the OT if worked. Nothing she can do about it. I would refuse to redo a check that I knew was wrong and illegal. Expla…
    in Overtime Comment by jmcaa June 2004
  • I believe it is required by the DOL to pay the overtime if it was actually worked. This is NOT an option that the Director of Operations can arbitrarily decide. She can discipline the employee for going over the maximum hours but she HAS to pay it …
    in Overtime Comment by jmcaa June 2004
  • If that is her "set" or "regular" scheduled time to work, I would not let her use the accrued time. That would be like someone who works M-F 40 hours wanting to use 8 accrued hours for Saturday, a day I am normally not scheduled to work. She is alre…
  • Thank you Don D for answering my question.
  • Thank you for your thoughts, but I am on the HR Committee and one of the items we are charged with is changing our Leave Time for all employees. We accrue leave time due on our financial statements monthly. This amount can be very large when exempt …
