Ray, Isn't it funny how we both blamed the opposite sex. I thought after reading Chic Wang's post that the person was male. I checked out your bon bon post and saw that you were right - but you did have the advantage of the prior post! We can h…

A great post. I have a Citgo close to my home which is where I normally get gas. I'm greatful to know this. I won't go anywhere else. And I'll forward this info. Thanks.

I live in Washington state and of course, there's the rain...but probably what distinguishes this area is that we have more coffee shops per square mile than I bet anywhere else. By my office there's a Starbucks right out the lobby door, another cof…

Well, how am I going to work now..I have to go re-do my make-up. Unfortuneately, I do not have ornaments from childhood; holidays were stressful at my house. There are no grandparents and my parents are gone too. I vowed when I had children that …

I recieved a resume from someone who drew their picture using a stick figure. The applicant had arrows pointing to different parts of her head describing her attributes. Each of the arrows apparently were meant to point to the part of the brain tha…

I've just begun using a program called Great Plains. I've liked it so far, but have no knowledge of any other to compare it tool. I don't know how reasonable the price is. Not much help, is it? Just wanted to give you another option!

You really need to determine whether these employees are exempt or non-exempt. If exempt, they get the same pay every week and are not paid overtime. If they are non-exempt employees, you have to pay overtime for hours worked over 40. (Some state…

Unfortuneately, no.

Theresa, Thanks for your response. After talking with the employee's supervisor,I have cleared up some things. When you work 8-5, you are due an hour lunch. It should have been explained to this employee that the hour she took was her lunch hour,…

I'm in Washington too. We count holidays as hours worked, but do not count vacation or sick hours when calculationg OT. The thought is that on a holiday, it is the company's choice to close and the employee doesn't have the opportunity to work. I…

My concern was that they were not working until 4, not the other way around.

dlail, I'm assuming these employees leave at 3:45?
-
I can't help you with your question about taxes, but most states look at a 7 day work week and any hours over 40 worked in that time frame are paid at the overtime rate. One exception I know of..California considers working more than 8 hours a day …

I would do what Nat suggested - call other like businesses in your area. What you want to know is whether your salaries are competitive for the same work. We've found this works best for us as we hire radiology technologists who are in high demand …

We give annual merit reviews and raises on employee's anniversary date to a max of 5%.

You're right, it is more risky for the employer. You're also right that a lot of employees won't use it. We've never had a problem because so few do. Dependant care is reimbursed differently than health care. You get reimbursed just the amount th…

Remember that this is a plan regulated under ERISA and has specific laws. Under the health reimbursement part of the plan, you are reimbursed for the claim you've submitted (as long as it's not more than the annual election)whether or not that amoun…

Theresa is correct. Our policy says this: "Non work time, such as vacations, sick leave, tardies or absences are not considered hours worked for overtime purposes." We do, however, count holiday hours in determining overtime. Our thought process is…

We just switched to an S Corp as well. It is true that the owners can no longer participate in any part of the Cafeteria Plan. I'm not aware of any effect on retirement plans. They don't fall under the Cafeteria plan so I don't see why they would…

The other thing you need to be aware of, is that instead of being eligible for 18 of months coverage, dependents of the deceased are eligible for 36 months of COBRA coverage.

We are self-insured for STD and we pay the entire premium for LTD benefits.

Diane, I know this is an old post, but I just had to share. We were very excited at this year's re-newal as we had only a 10.14% increase. But if you want to speak of staggering..in 1988 we were hit with a 28.9% increase, and in 1989, a 54.8% inc…
