I agree completely about having a disdain for our welfare and unemployment system. The initial idea of a helping hand is a good theory, but has gone terribly awry. The 'handouts' have created a huge feeling of entitlement, and I see this across ever…

I have to admit, your name was one I wondered about. I remember that episode. Thanks for sharing.

My first name is Shelby, which is what I go by most of the time. But I was named after my dad, so my mother never called me Shelby, and instead I grew up as Lorrie (short for my middle name Lorraine.) After I moved away to college I started going by…

I enjoyed the chuckle. Thanks.

Is this the desperate housewife that may now be carrying the gardener's child?

I agree - no jail time, but she must reimburse for some or all of the public expenses. And counseling.

My opinion is guilty, period. Even if he did not do everything that he is accused of doing, what he admitted to on his own interview is simply wrong.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We had a nice dinner at George Brett's on the Plaza after last Sunday's game. The nice thing is they like the Royals whether they win or lose. Enjoy the game! (and the puppy!)

I agree that she is doing the right thing by not pressing charges. She indicates she regrets some of her actions, and well she should. While I do not condone this guy's behavior, I can understand his sentiment. I am appalled that our veterans cam…

Thank you for your post! It sounds like you made a lot of people aware of the little red flag - myself now included.

Don, What an awesome experience for you! Thank you for sharing. Shelby

I enjoyed reading all the responses to this question. I, too, got my work ethic from my mother. Being a single mother with only a high school education she worked 2 jobs most of the time I was growing up. She could have accepted welfare, but always…

Boy can I ever relate to your feelings on fundraising! My daughters are in high school and every student in cheerleading, dance, gymnastics, etc. has to raise a certain amount of money to pay for uniforms, accessories, camps, etc.. I try to encou…

I cannot imagine being able to maintain composure on this one. (Being in love with your daughter.) I just oriented a new employee (age 18) who said his girlfriend will be moving in with him next week and he wants to add her to our health insurance …

I have to laugh at this. When I interviewed for this HR job I was asked (by the company president) marital status, how many children, where did I grow up, where do my parents live now, the marital status of my parents, various info. about my sibling…

If the 'Senior Sales Manager' is in charge of all regions, then perhaps this title should be changed to 'Director of Sales' and the newly promoted person should become 'Assistant Director of Sales' or something like that. This would sound like more …

Thanks for the truly enjoyable laugh of the day!

That's it! Thank you. I wonder if I can still find that 8-track? I think my mother still has the player in her attic. I mentioned this to my 16-year old and commented that she probably doesn't know what an 8-track is, and she replied that she had he…

I still have a few years before 40, and I could not name either one. I have had a tune stuck in my head recently and can't remember all the words. There is a new car commercial on about folks being able to test drive a car overnight and the song the…

My husband is a fan of Robert Parker also. We don't live anywhere near Boston - we live in Kansas, but we always watch for his new books.

Reading about 'self-checkout' lanes makes me really feel like a small-town girl. I have never even heard of them. (What will they think of next?) I must admit that I am fortunate to have a husband who often enjoys going to the store with me. Maybe …

I worked for a small non-profit community education program when my children were born (14 & 17 years ago - seems like yesterday) and I was able to take them to work with me for about the first 6 months. It worked great for me, and for the organ…

Our outside sales force is expected to pay for damage to, or loss of, computer laptops. Many of them have added it to their homeowners insurance plan because of the liability. In house damage (employee driving pallet jack into shelving unit, etc.) …

>the company owner is viewing this differently from a lack of work. It might be different from the company perspective, but it is the same from the employee's perspective. If you are closed, there is no work available to them on those days. Let …

If an exempt ee does not have vacation time available, we do deduct a day's pay when the absence is for personal reasons, other than illness.
-
This seems like the most logical system to me. Our ee's clock in and out on a time clock that just registers their time. Their supervisors write in any corrections/ommissions, and sign. I glance through them to make sure vacation time is actually av…

I'm not aware of anything that makes it illegal, but yes, I believe you are asking for trouble. As others have pointed out, this could look like the company is accepting responsibility for making sure his payments are on time, etc. I would tell the…

You are right about needing the employee to sign an authorization for the deduction, regardless of the amount. I was just thinking about how much could legally be withheld, but regardless of the amount, the ee must agree and sign an additional autho…
