  • Wishing you a positive result with a quick recovery.
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-09-06 AT 01:47PM (CST)[/font][br][br]The link I provided in my earlier post takes you to instructions for filing W-2s and W-3s. When one reads through those instructions, one can find the following i…
  • [url]http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/iw2w3.pdf[/url] This is within the IRS.gov website. It is instructions in pdf format for W-2 and W-3. Scroll down to page 2 and note the common errors in filing. At the bottom of that paragraph - the last comm…
  • Linda and Kathy are correct. If you don't do this, the company has a mismatch and when the EE files income tax returns, they will have a mismatch if the w-2 records do not match the SS records.
  • Many of you know I have a finance and accounting background, which includes working in a (then) Big 8 audit accounting firm as an auditor. When I left public accounting, my first job out of the ivory tower was as a controller of one of my audit cl…
  • You have received some good feedback. I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but it is my considered opinion - grown through watching Perry Mason and Judge Judy - that your company could prevail in one of two ways. First - the EE did not chal…

  • The real fun and challenge on improving budgets, at least in my opinion, is to work on the supply side of the equation. If you increase revenues, then all the other nasty little cuts don't have to happen. You know the old saying: "A rising tide l…
  • Sounds like you don't have direct responsibility for many line items - so you get to squeeze blood out of a turnip. The first thing I would do is to determine 4% of what number? Could be they are looking at a smaller or larger pool of costs and re…
  • The person whose picture is on the dartboard.
  • Maybe I just don't get PTO policies, but I thought once a person hits the maximum, the very next absence puts the person in danger of termination. No, I am not confusing this with a no-fault policy. You mentioned the lack of discipline for last ye…
  • And put these most recent riots in context. The attempts to tinker with the employment laws were in direct response to the earlier riots where so many immigrants and young were rioting because there were no jobs.
  • The socialism that cripples France and certain other EU countries is showing it's ugly side in many areas. This is one of them. Essentially, the French economy cannot grow enough to employ it's people. Combine that with a hugh mass of immigrants …
  • The HR community is diminished by his absence. He was an authority on all things FLSA - I will miss him.
  • A local case - preschool worker was baby sitting for parents of the children he worked with on a daily basis. Turned out he had abused 60+ children. He is in jail, hopefully forever, but the pre-school had to declare bankruptcy to fight off the la…
  • I thought I made a mistake once, but I was wrong. x;-)
  • Well, the maximum time allowed for suspension is ....... forever. But that just won't do.

  • I will give the pen back, I promise.
  • In the interest of protecting your EEs from having to view all of this material, I will volunteer to investigate the pictures./:)
  • Parabeagle is absolutely right. The IRS and your state, if you have state income tax, require you to withhold payroll taxes and to turn over those taxes to them. None of these schemes to avoid taxes have been upheld in the courts and if you try to…
  • Some EEs can attempt a petty sort of revenge with these types of antics. Anyone who crossed them or got sideways with them becomes a target of opportunity upon leaving. They like nothing more than to see the company spend time and money, and to ge…
  • Good show James. I am encouraged to hear of your support of Gene's hard work.
  • There is an additional point to consider. This EEs supervisor should know the hours worked. Yes, it is the EEs responsibility to clock or record hours worked, but it is the supervisor's duty to verify or authorize. Does this supervisor not know h…
  • Sunshine State - Are you seriously suggesting that an EE should reimburse the company for it's costs when they think the relationship was not going to work? My skepticism aside regarding how serious this question is, I would concentrate on the th…
  • Your Prez should be able to handle this information without specifics. He should just pull her aside and say - don't dress like a hoochie mama when you are representing our company! I would only do that if you are sure of your information - that i…
  • Yes, once FMLA is in the picture, it rules. There are even precedents that held the ER responsible if determined they "should have known" about the FML qualifying event. Thank you for that one, judicial system. In any event, disciplining an EE un…
  • The Company's policy could also be considered interfering with the EEs FMLA rights. Check out the regs related to Recertification at 825.308 and you will find that you cannot ask for Dr's certification that frequently. There are a couple of excep…
  • You are in an area that has dozens and dozens of IRS regulations - I would suggest you contact your Tax prep person for an answer supported by someone's professional liability insurance. Lots of twists in this area that could cause you some fines a…
  • LarryC is correct - this all circles around fitness for duty issues. Be assured that no one wants someone carrying a gun and dealing with the public who is not responsible for their actions due to medication issues. Is this the first time your m…
  • You have some great interview questions - however, you are not asking anything technical. For those of you who are also interested in the technical competence of a controller, which I would submit is very important, you should consider asking your …
  • Caren, I am not sure to whom you are directing your questions, but on the off chance it is me - the Tylenol scare happened long ago - I think it was in Chicago - but some wacko substituted some sort of poison for tylenol that was sitting on the coun…
