  • After much discussion by my company's Board of Directors, we're going to instigate a "use it or lose it" policy, and make the change soon so that the staff can plan so that they will zero out their PL account for this year.  We'll inevitably get inq…
    in How to encourage people to take vacations Comment by 1472402 April 2009
  • [quote user="IT HR"] It is my understanding that the Department of Labor is looking at this to try to determine what they need to help employers with.  I have contacted both my payroll provider as well as my benefits broker.  Both are frantically l…

  • [quote user="TXHRGuy"] Probably fine but there are some possible hangups.  Please provide the following information:  1) How many employees does your company have within a 50 mile radius of the site of the employee who had a scheduled leave?  If th…
