  • I am a Jayhawk by birth, but a Wildcat by choice. It kills me to say this, but Rock Chalk Jayhawk, GO KU!!!! On the girls' side I am 100% Wildcats, the Kansan species !!! They are going all the way this year baby!
  • I drive 70 miles one way. Hardly any traffic. I get to start each morning with the sun rising and end each day with it setting. Its great, we have some of the best sun rises/sets out here in western Kansas because you can see for miles. You can …
  • I second what safety posted. I think mother nature was teasing us earlier this week when she sent .25 inches of rain our way. We needed more like 2.5 inches!!! Any kind of moisture would be wonderful. I have been doing my rain dances for about t…
  • >Like the testicles of any animal... Don, Don, Don, don't knock unless you've tried it!!! Mountain Oysters aka calf testicles are my favorite meal! =P~
  • SW Kansas Reporting in at 1.65 and climbing. We have a lot of commuters, so we are keeping our fingers crossed it won't go much higher! If so, I guess I will just have to hitch a ride with a bull hauler to work and home!
  • And decorate the yard with his bottle trees...
  • Just ordered mine! Sort of a Christmas present to me!
  • In Kansas, particularly in sw Kansas we have more cattle than people. In my home county we have over 200,000 head of cattle and probably 9,000 people! MOO MOO BUCKAROO! Dorthy's house from The Wizard of OZ is an hour away from my home town! There…
  • Just wanted to let everyone know that I am VERY thankful for all of the knowledgable people who are obcessed with this forum! HAVE A WONDERFUL TURKEY DAY!
  • We have done that, way back in July. Everyone gave me the same ssn that we had. I told them they need to go to the SSA and get this sorted out but, NO one has made any progress! The controller says we might be able to ge the $50 fine revoked if w…

  • What about people who already work for you, but their ssn has not been verified? We just started verifying the first of September, but we still have a long list of unmatch ssn for current ees.
  • We do have more than 50 ees, so we do have to offer FMLA. We do not have any othe positions he can transfer to, each location has a lead elevator operation (his position) and a location manager. There wouldn't even be a position we could create. …
  • THANK YOU DON!!! xhugs I am sure your advice will be invaluable when I actually get into that room and the phone rings... It never hurts to have a heads up on things like this! Riley
  • Thanks Don! Yes, you are right, this is my first time through the appeals process. I think our hearing will be by telephone, or that's what the majority of them are in KS. We have to fax everything in! Wonderful isn't it! In the hearing documen…
  • What happens if you offer them a position, you verify their number and its not valid? Do you do the same, offer 30 days to start the process, and if they don't, fire?
  • Is there a number to call in the ad? I would call and say, I am interested, but want to know more about case management approach to HR. Maybe they could tell you what they mean. Just a thought...
  • Don, is there a change in weather down south or are you just feeling ornery today?
  • Sorry, I misspelled auction! Place where the rancher (seed stock producer) can sell their cattle to order buyers, who in turn, put a pen of cattle together, usually the same type (weight, body type, try for sex but sometimes doesn't work)for an owne…
  • We have several feed yard operations with 20,000-40,000 head of cattle at each of our five locations at a given time. The Kansas Livestock Association President has issued a statement saying, not that there is a specific threat against the agricult…
  • ...or she has had a bad experience in a pool (near drowning) that she is to embarrassed to talk about and would rather stay away if possible...
  • It turns out the ee didn't know he could have coverage for his dependents under the reserve's insurance (tricare). He found out that he could get better coverage for a much cheaper price through tricare than he could having COBRA rights. After cha…
  • Just an update... The employee was 45 minutes late on Sunday and Monday. Needless to say the ee no longer works for the company! :DD Say, anyone looking for a cowboy...
  • I think Monday morning I will put on my Time Clock Warden hat x:=|and use Don's excellent advice. Maybe it will prove the point the supervisor has been trying to make!
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-17-03 AT 10:17AM (CST)[/font][p]Thank you all for your advice. The Exempt empolyees are paid on 26 pay periods a year. The CEO was going off of hours worked. Which didn't make sense and angred many…
  • Thanks for the great idea, I will bounce this off the other people involved and see what they think.

  • Thanks to all for their insight on the issue! I don't think we are going to deduct. The ee comes early/stays late. Plus, I found out we haven't docked pay bc of bad weather in the past. I would hate to discriminate against this ee. Thanks agai…
  • What happens when the ee has no vacation time?
  • I don't believe he is epileptic. We do have a copy of his drivers licence. He is legal to drive. The type of feed truck he drives is not street legal, the only time it leaves the yard is for maintenance that cannot be done on sight. Then we get "…
  • The ee does have bipolar, the only reason the manager knows this is he was speaking to the mother about making arrangements for his vehicle and she mentioned that if she had known where he was working she would have called and warned us he was off h…
