Corn beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots cooked together. Hamburgers, Kraft Dinner. Enchilladas, beans and rice. Hot dogs, potato salad, fruit jello in the summer. And for a few damn yankees, fresh hot maple syrup on fresh snow (not the yellow k…

We use a multi-part form for our records. The suprevisor records comments on the form which has both tear offs for the employee each time plus a record of each counseling on the last page. The first one recorded is the verbal one, then two more wr…

Suggest you use the new, proposed FLSA guidelines as they are much clearer on this issue. Also, they will probably be implemented without too many changes in this area. In the new regs, you have at least two options. The first is "outside sales…

We have a fixed amount for standard travel. If someone is going to a high cost area, we ask them to get a manager's approval before booking a reservation. That allows a discussion about cost versus convenience. Perhaps because we are an employee …

Tough one but not impossible. 1. Get a locking cash box and put the money in there immediately after taking it out of the machines. Make sure the key is not acessible. 2. Mention to the boss that "someone" is taking the money and you need his h…
