  • Saw the teams listed in TV Guide yesterday. I thought for sure Jon would be playing--he made some type of under-the-breath comment during the reunion show about the All-Star games. Did anyone else catch that? The TV Guide also listed each partici…

  • I vote for Disney!!! Or maybe a dude ranch in Colorado. But Disney would be my first choice. Paige
  • A profile?? Why you...?? OHHHHH--a PROFILE. x;-) OK, OK--it's "enabled."
  • Sorry--spelled "Forumaniac" wrong. x:-8
  • Thanks Leslie! I'll be looking for mine in the inbox. [email]paigehcm@msn.com[/email]
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-18-03 AT 09:33AM (CST)[/font][p]Scott--I don't get it?? Isn't the whole point behind posting a picture to get the free t-shirt?? You're willing to bypass that wonderful benefit?? What a sport. Act…
  • 1st choice--definitely Colorado! That is a true escape for me--beauty, little worries, laid back attitudes. And definitely in the mountainous areas--Denver just doesn't do it for me. 2nd choice--Florida--Orlando, specifically. I'm a huge Disney …
  • Can't....stop.....laughing..... (where's the laughing emotion icon?) These are too funny!! Dung? All I can come up with is we currently have a worker whose first name is Orange--I still feel funny calling out her name. And where I used to work, …
  • You go, Gillian2!! You deserve to be sitting in shorts after your ordeal. (Although, I wouldn't mind sitting in shorts right now--ordeal or no ordeal.) By the way, where's the margarita??
  • As somewhat of a lurker on this board (I've benefited GREATLY by the advice from others on a couple of questions that I've posted) I had to get my 2 cents in. You guys are GREAT! I'll tell ya--this is exactly what we HR folk need when we're up to …
  • 1. WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR KITCHEN PLATES? *Kindof a mixture of purple, olive, brown--reminds me of vineyard colors* 2. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW? *Blast Away Procrastination by Rita Emmett* 3. WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? *just plain 'ole grey--does…
  • DianeZ & WO-- Sorry--just saw your requests for this information. I just e-mailed it to each of you. Paige

  • jimlegal-- Just sent you an e-mail--our company went through the same type of switch a couple of years ago. Hope the information I sent is helpful. Paige

  • I think Shadowfax is going in the right direction with this. Offering an hourly stipend for anything over 40, could destroy the exemption. What happens if a particularly efficient supervisor completes his or her work in less than 40 hours? They a…
  • We are not going to make any adjustments and will pay out the 27 pay periods. Whew!
  • I would check your state laws first. In IL, employees cannot be suspended or discharged based on garnishments, wage assignments, or child support orders.
  • marc-- I'm going to offer a dissenting opinion, somewhat, to what has already been stated. We were a company on an HMO plan for many years. We only have about 30 employees participating out of 50 eligible. Our rates kept increasing because our lo…
  • But they aren't fund fees, they are fees being charged by our broker.
  • Our company did this a couple of years ago... While we had separate personal and vacation categories, we were not very strict about requiring them to use personal time for ONLY sick-time use. Therefore, they used the two interchangably--essentiall…
  • Dutch2--How many employees do you insure?
  • Where were you when I needed you?!?! Really--it IS good to hear from someone who is in the same boat and understands the dilemma. You hit the nail on the head--it's all about high utilization. But, getting the employees to realize that isn't an…
  • "How did the meeting go?" They (we had one in the morning and one in the afternoon) went OK. People were not happy, but at least it didn't break out into a riot. We only have about 28 on our plan. People ARE very concerned. We do actually h…
  • Well--thank you all for the wide range of comments (sincerely). By saying that I wasn't "getting enough support," I guess I meant that more as--OK, tell me I'll get some backlash, but let me know that this too shall pass. Several sides were presen…
  • Apparently, I didn't come to the right place for support. Oh well--we all have to make tough decisions in our jobs, weighing moral standards, weighing costs, etc. This has just been one of those decisions to be made. Just to answer some of the qu…
  • "If I understand, the new plan would not cost me anything out of pocket til the er had paid 1,000. Is that right?" That is correct. Some of the "grumblings" are people saying, "But I don't have $1,000." But, yes, the er pays first, then the ee.…
  • In our case, if we stay with our current HMO plan, which does happen to be a pretty rich plan, our rates increase 22%. However, if we go with this high-deductible PPO plan, our rates will DECREASE from where we are right now by 9%. Maybe PPOs wi…
  • But these ARE the senior managers...
  • >I'll send your post to one of the editors of the Benefits and >Compensation Law Alert that we publish and let you know what I find >out. Thanks, Anne! Much appreciated. Paige
  • Ours is only a 2-tier plan. I realize things would have been much simpler if it were otherwise, but unfortunately, we don't have that option.
  • Whew--so many questions! With Section 125s, you cannot drop out or drop dependents UNLESS there is a life event. The information from the TPA is incorrect if they are referring to a section 125. If the employee is enrolled in insurance and electe…
