  • Gee, all this time I thought I was a conservative only to find out I'm a Southerner. I agree that if you use the knife you're a psychopath. But what does it mean if you also shoot the liberal? By the way, Rush had nothing to say baout this last n…
  • Hey Rockie in SC, I went to college in Greenville. Anyway, speaking of dirt clod fights, I did have one clod fight where the clod did have a rock inbeded in it. My friend didn't know this of course. It hit me in the head, busted my head open & b…
  • Cool thread. I also remeber in the winter time, growing up in Denver (hence a Broncos fan), building snow forts, pouring water over them, and having snowball fights. And yes we got battered and bruised. I even remeber one time when my father came …
  • Reading all the post has brought one thing to mind. Overall we have no one to blame but "society" as a whole. Believe me I am not one to blame "society" for a lot of ill's (i.e. drug or alcohol addiction). But in this case, why have we tolerated suc…
  • I was annoyed at MJ"s accusations that he was being "Man-handled" when he was arrested. Did he really think those cops would have been dumb enough to have done that? But then my wife so aptly asked the question, "How can you man-handle some one who …
  • I have had two bouts with kidney stones and that was no fun. The nurses kept telling me it was God's way of getting even on us guys compared to what women have to go thru for child birth. Back the end of October my wife & I had jsut finished di…
  • I maybe the only one working & talking here today. But this does seem like the right place to be to be yourself (and it's anonymous). It is amazing in HR the "stuff" you hear about and what is said. I have been in HR for about 1 1/2 years now. …
  • Can I join too? This sound like fun. I am definitely not PC and enjoy good lively conversations and discussions. Maybe i can bring a new prespective in on things. And just to spice it up now, Leslie, I am the Chairman of our county Republican part…
  • Just a reminder that God is a Broncos fan.....why else would he have made sunsets Blue & Orange!!!
  • Good reminders on all points. You are right about mailing the COBRA notice and not just calling. I would have sent it certified mail but your idea of sending it using a certificate of mailing is a better idea. Having read several responses to this…
  • Good points Don, but now I have other questions that come to mind. Now we are getting into the "Bermuda Triangle" of FMLA & Workmans Comp. How can you be on FMLA (leave without pay) and Workmans Comp (leave with pay) at the same time? And how do…
  • Once I was notified by payroll that he had nissed a payment, yes we got the COBRA letter together. The problem came in trying to get him into the office to have him sign & give him a copy. We called him and advised him of his COBRA options and a…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-19-04 AT 02:07PM (CST)[/font][br][br]We have had AFLAC for about a year and a half now & i can't really say anything good about them. Yes a lot depends on how good your agents are. Ours are lousy.…

  • We are a self-insured government entity that pays 75% of the premiums for our employees. They pay 25% of the premiums, this holds true foo all our categories of coverage.
  • We have not instituted an HRA, but i have attended a class on how they work and how they impact you heatl plan. There is a class coming up in June sponsored by the Self Insurance Institute of America that will address all the issues of setting up an…
  • At out church, yes we allow the pastor to take the books, cd's, etc with him when and if he leaves. We feel that the money appropriated for those items is a perk for both his benefit and ours. If he is more informed and all, then that benefits the c…
  • I serve on our church's finance team. What we have done is appropriated a certain amount of money each fiscal year for the pastors "professional development". It is his discretion as to how he uses it, but once he uses it, it is gone for the remaind…
  • Several other places for you to go for info. [url]www.digitalcare.com;[/url] [url]www.healthlinknm.org.;[/url] and [url]www.willis.com[/url] Both have good info for you if you are a small business. We are a county gov't, self-funded, under $5mill …
  • As the Benefits/Compensation Manager for our county, I agree with the spreedsheet idea to illustrate to the whinnning union members just how good they have it. But to keep it good, the are going to have to contribute or change plans. I have just fin…
  • This is an interesting situation and one I was in years ago. Although no one was being threatened with being fired, it was obvious from the "bullying" from the boss that that was what he was getting at. It finally dawned on me (and others in the off…
  • Remeber that HIPAA mandates that there be a "Privacy Officer" within the company. The reason for a privacy officer is to insure that no ones personal (or private) health information (refered to as PHI in HIPAA) is distributed. It is also the respon…
  • 1. yes 2. Start climbing the ladder. Verbal warning (with reminder of company policy), written warning (with reminder that next violation can include termination), termination.
