  • When frying fish, do not put the fish in a paper sack and place in the oven on warm to keep them warm. The grease will start a fire that is fueled when you open the door to add to them! (My younger days.) Actually, the fish had a good smoked flav…
  • My fat lady sings, now she's deaf, too? (:) It's probably from listening to all those clicks to open "the thread that will never die".
  • I thought the brain-dead pregnant lady's heart would end up being used for Denny. Is Izzie coming back since she said "I quit"? And if she does, will she be charged with a crime?
  • On the sixth day of Christmas, they tell me they want a new performance review. (Have a very Merry Christmas - yes, we really use the term "Christmas" here - and great New Year.)
  • Too funny. Enjoyed it. But how long did it take you to write that!!
  • I have just revised ours and we are trying it out to see what changes need to be made. I would love a copy of yours, too, please. [email]Peggy.blount@praeses.com[/email]. If anyone wants a copy of our past and revised reviews, i will be glad to s…
  • Our state (Louisiana) requires that the employee be paid for accrued vacation at the end of employment. We usually pay in a lump sum and use the last day worked as their actual last day. Occasionally, we have a long-term employee with a larger amo…
  • And me and me, too, said the tenth little piggy. Fax to Peggy at 318-213-8138; have a very Happy New Year. You have made mine better already. We have mostly exempt (out of 80)with only about 3 full-time as non-exempt. Thanks.
  • Obviously, i don't come here often, way too much to do. Sorry, i should have said Pelosi's Congress is interested in changing the 401K system - and as i understand it, eliminating the tax breaks on 401K's. I will ask the person who told me for any…
  • It's another example of government intrusion into our lives, which seems to be increasing. Now Nancy Pelosi has a plan to tax our 401K plans now, a one-time tax, they call it. It's still double taxation since we will be taxed on the income again w…
  • I think it would have an impact on the smallest of employers, but hopefully not sway the medium - large employers to reduce medical benefits. My concern is where is the money going to come from to support the plan? We are in debt up to our wazoo a…
  • I, too, am in Louisiana; our company does not pay for in-room movies and such extras on the road; we do pay for meals for staff if it is a legitimate business purpose and for meals for client dinners. For auditing purposes, we have to specifiy who w…
  • We have Direct Deposit with a similar statement on the form and have been providing printed copies of the earnings statement (with vacation, sick leave taken/eligible, etc). The issue has just arisen (mainly as we have 2 telecommuters) whether or n…
  • We have a telecommuting policy i will be glad to email you if you give me your email address; you can email me at [email]peggy.blount@praeses.com[/email].
  • Thank you, all, for the information. You helped, particularly the impairment through ADA - that was a gray area to me, but since her life is altering because of the high blood pressure, i think she would have a case to be covered under it. Her doc…
  • It's 10 years past termination date for personnel files and anything regarding payroll. It's 7 years for other accounting files regarding revenue (re IRS rules, I believe).
  • We do criminal background checks on our IT people because of some government contracts we have in place that require it. A credit check is totally different and I wouldn't do it unless it were required. There are lots of different kinds of backgro…
  • I have read about them, but haven't used them for the "pricey" reason. Haven't heard anything negative about them.
  • Me, myself, and I (degree, but not HR); I do everything but payroll, which is in Accounting. I also do Office Management. The Receptionist helps with a FEW administrative tasks, such as making folders/labels. We have 60 employees and I have way t…
  • We have 90-day and 6-month, then annual thereafter. Currently, they are done on anniversary date except upper managers and executives - all done at end of year by CEO. No repercussions if not done on time. I am currently researching performance r…
  • I am in LA and agree with the other posts. LA law requires that we provide pay for one day for jury duty and that one day cannot be taken with any loss of pay or leave. Beyond the one day you are not required to pay them although many companies do…
  • Some of you missed the point - WE are not the casino. We are a telecommunications and information technology consulting firm. The project was for the candidate to go into one of our casinos as there aren't that many businesses at night open to com…
  • Not trying to get free labor! Bringing in a candidate for 2 days, airfare, hotel, etc.; we can walk next door to the casinos. This person would be traveling all over the country representing our company. We have had a couple of employees with M.B…
