  • My son stuck a juniper berry up hi nose. His membranes had swollen around it and had to use tweezers to get it out. Ick
  • Just across the bridge from Portland, OR at 96.
  • Here in the Northwest Portland/Vancouver) we are supposed to be getting high 90's to low 100's Friday thru Sunday. The nice thing is that the humidity will be 15-20% so it is bearable.
  • Good thing I am in an office away from other people. Mascara is running down my face!
  • I was going to ask the same thing. Never heard of a Stay Put Agreement.
  • If you wouldn't mind I would like a copy also. We have a small publishing company and don't need tracking software, just a good spreadsheet [email]pat@bnmag.com[/email]
  • Yes, unless they are a registered corporation. You will also need to get his/her EIN number for the 1099.
  • Maybe he is not as interested in the hours so a straight 8 hour day will do. He might just be interested in a quick way to determine what days the employee might have taken off during a pay period for PTO, sick, or vacation and this would be reflect…
  • My grandson's daycare closes at 5:30 and charges $1.00 per minute if you are late. The first time it happens it is forgiven.
  • Interesting. That is my personal fax number, but try 360 906-0794. That is the office fax and as long as it has my name (Pat) on it In will get it. Thanks for trying.

  • We use a small base salary with a commission structure for new employees. When the salesperson reaches his base salary amount with commissions we then drop the base salary. There is usually a time limit invoved also before they are transferred over …
  • We do not offer anything for employees who opt out of insurance. We figure health insurance is a company benefit and not required ,so if an employee choses not to participate, it is their option. Those who have opted out have insurance through the…

  • We do have an opt out clause with our insurance. We just have to sign a waiver that we have coverage through spouse or individual insurance.
    in Opt-Out Comment by plynnl December 2008
  • Our medical/dental insurance coverage requires "Opt Out" forms for those employees enrolled in other plans and do not want to participate in our plan.
  • We are also an "at will state" but I was told for legal reasons all our paperwork for new employees that mentions salary is always broken out into pay period amounts rather than yearly amounts. This, like Nae mentioned, is not to have an employee as…
  • We are also reworking our PTO-Vacation benefit. If possible I would like a copy of your policy. E-mail: [email]pat@bnmag.com[/email]
  • I will probably get more work done as I won't be checking the forum.
  • No they did not sign releases or agreements and it was understood that we would not challenge their unemployment claims.
    in Lay offs Comment by plynnl February 2009
  • We have a very small company and we knew we had to lay off two employees. It was painful and we were not able to give them severance. One was asked to leave immediately and one stayed on for a couple of days with no problem. When we felt we had …
    in Lay offs Comment by plynnl February 2009
  • We have a small company and we asked our employees as of the first of the year to take a 15% pay cut for the first quarter in order to avoid laying off any employees. They felt it was better to get a little less than to be out of work completely. …
  • The way I understand it is that unless they have a court order or a written authorization by your employee (which is highly doubtful) you do not have to provide any personal information regarding the employee.
  • We have also gone mandatory direct deposit. Everyone is happier as they don't have to make a special trip to the bank. In the State of Washington the only requirement for direct deposit is that we do not charge our employees any fees we may incure …
  • We also have an hourly employee who feels it is her duty to keep track of how many minutes an exempt employee is late back from lunch, late for work, or gone. These employees also work over a 40 hour work week and more than make up for the time mis…
  • Washington is also smoke free including bars and restaurants and smokers have to stay at least 25 feet from an entrance, exit, etc. This has been in effect approximately one year . You see huddles of smokers outside businesses and they are not 25…
  • I have the unique opportunity of being both HR and finance manager. It is a small company, but I get to wear two hats and have learned that both areas intertwine in many ways.
  • We are a company of only 12 people and need a training video on sexual harassment that I can show to all employees once a year. Does this video only target supervisors or is it good for the mainstream employee.
  • It must depend upon the state. In Washington we can require Direct Deposit as long as their is no cost to the employee.
  • Washington took care of the employers having to have a smoking policy. No one is allowed to smoke in any building public or private (except residences) and no one can smoke within 25 feet of any door that enters or exits a building or an opening li…
  • How timely, we just had a massage therapist come in today and give everyone a 15 minute massage. Everyone enjoyed it.
