  • I thought only Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan got that kind of snow! I'm up in the northern part of Wisconsin. We're about one hour away from Duluth, Minnesota - which is right on the shore of Lake Superior. We have been so lucky! So far thi…

  • Oops! Sorry, Hunter! I wasn't trying to offend anyone! I come from a long line of hunters and my husband and his family are well-known around these parts for being some of the most "intense"! I have all kinds of animals hanging in my house. Ser…
    in Wisconsin Hunters Comment by DianeZ October 2004
  • Hey, Don! I loved your question. I've never heard this one, but it's probably true! I've lived here in Wisconsin from the time I was two years old! Gun, deer season, which always falls over the week of Thanksgiving is referred to as "Holy Week" …

    in Quick Poll-Bush, Kerry, Undecided Comment by DianeZ October 2004
  • I love quotes and have them hanging all over my office, taped to my computer and desk! Here's a few of my favorites. Here are two of the first ones I read every morning. They are taped to the front of my computer and help me get into the right mi…

  • Hi Paige: I never received it for some reason. Would you mind trying to email your PTO policy to me one more time! Thanks! [email]dianez@tttool.com[/email]

    in Attendance Policies Comment by DianeZ June 2006
  • Good morning! I'm sorry that I'm a little late in responding to this. I do have a probationary evaluation form and schedule that I'll share with anyone interested. We do these at 3, 6 and 9 weeks for all new employees. We then use their job descr…

  • We are a manufacturing plant with 80 employees. We require people to punch in at the beginning of the day and punch out at the end of the day - using the timeclock. We do not require punching in and out for their 1/2 hour lunch. Everyone is requi…
    in Punch in and out for lunch break Comment by DianeZ June 2007
  • We're a manufacturing company in northern Wisconsin. We are also opened on Monday the 3rd, and then closed on the 4th. As I expected, we are getting many vacation requests for the 3rd off. We'll see what happens - but at this time, the plan is to…
    in July 3rd - extra day off - unpaid Comment by DianeZ June 2006
  • Don and Linda: Thank you so much for your responses. I did allow him to take the time off without pay. Our Wisconsin FMLA is even more liberal then the Federal. Gotta love it!

  • stilldazed: Would you be willing to email me a copy of your PTO policy. We are considering changing to a PTO. Thank you. [email]dianez@tttool.com[/email] Diane

  • Effective January 01, 2005 we switched to a safe harbor plan. We match 100% of the first 4% employee contribute, then nothing. Immediate vesting. Great Plan!
    in Poll--What's your 401(k) match? Comment by DianeZ August 2005
  • Our company pays 65% of single, limited family or full family. This includes short term disability and life.
    in Poll-what do your employees pay for health insurance? Comment by DianeZ May 2005
  • We are also self funded. We pay 60% of gross wages up to a maximum of $400.00 per week - 26 weeks. $400/week isn't really a lot. People are usually anxious to get back to work. I really don't believe that we have an abuse situation here with our…

  • Thanks for your input! I have passed this on to the owner. Have a great week everyone!

    in The Friday after Thanksgiving Comment by DianeZ August 2004
  • Thanks for all your replies. As I indicated, the only supervisor that addressed her shortcomings and tried to make her do her job correctly was our office manager/controller. And because she did this, the "purchasing agent" talked about her to any…
    in Purchasing Agent JD and reporting structure Comment by DianeZ June 2004
  • Yes, I definintely need the "Purchasing Agent" job description. Having worked with a true "Purchasing Agent" before, this individual is not that! But, that is what our company needs - not a clerk!
    in Purchasing Agent JD and reporting structure Comment by DianeZ June 2004
  • What this individual does is she becomes the "mother" of the person who becomes her supervisor. With her last two supervisors, (in both cases...I kid not!) she would go to their kids ballgames, babysit, become very good friends with their wives, so…
