  • Ours is governed by our policy. Vacation is payable at the employee's rate of pay at the time the vacation is used. Side comment - our policy also specifies use it or lose it - no pay for unused vacation.

    in The Power Suit Comment by joannie March 2010
  • I hate answering a question with a question, but, a bit more information would help. Have the work production problems been documented and previously addressed with the employee? Does your company practice progressive discipline? If so, has it be…
    in Still good but .... Comment by joannie March 2010
  • We've had the same issue, Nae. Our light fixtures are the four tube fluorescent variety. The solution was to only use two tubes per fixture. Not only reduced the complaints, but saves a bit on the electric bill, too.

  • I'm pretty certain you can not force employees to use Medicare, but don't know about spousal or other coverage.
    in Can employer compel employee to get health ins through spouse if available? Comment by joannie February 2010
  • If you haven't already done so, check your state law. There might be some type of requirement there mandating the notice time. If not, I would give 30 days notice. That would allow time for those that don't have checking or savings to open accoun…

  • If we didn't live in 2 different states, I'd say cnghr and I work at the same company. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the spiel about personal business and lifestyle choices. Somehow, though, it doesn't carry much weight when touted by…
