Bye! I'm gone too! I will miss you all. I too have learned SO much, felt relief when others understood where I was coming from, and my favorite part was all the laughs. Thanks to everyone who contributed so much - you made a tremendous impact on…

HS: Aren't you the person who criticized my home-made brownie recipe in favor of a box recipe?

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-02-05 AT 02:47PM (CST)[/font][br][br]That was part of the lead story on foxnews.com announcing her passing. I tried to find the story again, but don't know how to search their website for their past …

Regardless of what side you come in on ... the husband's or the parents ... you have to agree that the hubby's demand that her parents be removed from the room when it was evident the time was short, and not permitting them to be there for her actua…

At a former employer I worked with someone named Peregrine Falcon. She was an interesting one ... she had a different name and legally changed it as an adult.
-
I'm a Ford hater too -- but my experiences have not come even close to those already shared, so I'll spare you the details! We had an old Chevy 4-door cavalier that was about as ugly as anything you've seen, and made noises that I'd never heard bef…

There were a few questions where I couldn't decide on just one answer, so I guess that means that I am a 30 and a 41. Besides indecisive, what else does that make me?
-
I too have dreams where my teeth crumble ... it is strange, I know, but good to know that I am not alone in that. Sometimes it seems so real that I wake up and check that I have all of my teeth! This is supposed to be associated with stress, huh? …

There is a house on a lake near me that has something long, dark and shiny strung between small posts on both corners of their lot where it meets the water. I've never seen geese or ducks or anything else on their yard, but they do go to the neighb…

A receptionist at my former employer said with much disgust one day, "My vaccuum (sp?) quit working on me again last night - it won't pick up a thing anymore! This is the 3rd vaccuum I've had this year - I have the worst luck." I asked her if she …

So much talk about Paul's picture - but I've never found it. Can anyone point me in the right direction??
-
Many times I've read references to Paul's picture and his legs ... however, I've never seen this picture -- can anyone tell me where to look? Don - I have to confess that I too pictured you to look much older, much more serious, and wearing a 1970'…

Usually it doesn't bother me to listen to songs that I don't care for, but there are 3 songs that I absolutely cannot tolerate -- 99 Red Balloons (I don't know who sings it, but I think it's from the '80s), Call Me Al by Paul Simon, and Tom Sawyer (…

Mine are not the least bit interesting... Soap: Lee Village Exotic: Jessi Scotland

I don't know anyone personally who has been sent, but my heart is heavy about this situation as well, and my work life seems rather meaningless right now. Deciding whether to process some insurance papers today, or tomorrow, and dealing with a CEO …

I am no fan of cold weather and snow (so why I live in MN is beyond me!!) but I will take snow ANY DAY over "hotter than the hinges of Hades" and "gut sucking humidity"! Although we get some heat and humidity in the summer, I'd never be able to tol…

I laugh out loud when reading many of Don's posts ... thanks for adding a touch of humor to my days, Don!

If you are looking for a policy to allow the owner's daughters to have their babies on the premises, but exclude others, you won't find one. If you implement a policy about no children on the premises, I assume it will be with an official blessing …

Perhaps there are state specific requirements? I've repeatedly learned at employment law seminars that an employee cannot sign away the ability to have a deduction taken from their wages for money owed to the employer UNLESS the debt has already in…
-
Along with the discipline process, you might consider docking his vacation/PTO account. I know that some will argue that is not appropriate in an exempt employee situation, but I've been advised differently. Something to consider anyway...
-
I agree with the previous posts. Somthing that has worked for me with respect to getting an employee to agree to repay through payroll deduction is simply asking, "Do you want to write me a check, or should we deduct it from your final check?" M…

Hi. If I understand your questions fully, here is my answer... I am assuming by your info given, that you are paying people for 40 hours/week (i.e. giving them a paid 1 hour lunch break)? If so, then calculating OT using 40 hours is appropriate. …
-
We consider anyone who is regularly scheduled/working less than 40 hours a week to be part-time. Depending on how many hours they work, they may be eligible for some benefits. For PTO, we do pro-rate based upon the number of hours worked. At less…
-
I always thought the OT had to be paid at the average hourly rate (i.e. 10 hrs at $20 and 30 hrs at $10 = $12.50 average hourly rate ($500/40 hrs)). This is news to me...

I'm not in Utah, but I also work in a state where there are laws pertaining to timely payment of wages. Our policy is that time cards are due by "xx" date. If the payroll process is far enough along that a late time card cannot be entered, that pe…

Check with the individual state(s) you operate in ... some states allow for mandatory direct deposit, but many do not.

Besides any negative feedback coming from the employees who would be facing a lower wage for the nursery work, there isn't any legal reason that I can think of to not do what you are suggesting. However, you would owe overtime because it is all wor…
-
Not ok unless you are a health care provider of some type, which you could opt to work under the 8-80 rule - employees get overtime if they work more than 8 hours in a day and/or more than 80 hours in a 2-week pay period.

If commission is separate from salary, I would expect that commissions would in fact be due to the employee.

It is my understanding that comp time is only offered/available (legally) for public employees -- primarily as a way to save the cost of overtime wages, which are tax-payer money. Private employers are not eligible to ask/demand/offer comp time. E…
