All right. This is interesting. They did not violate wage and hour supposedly, unless yesterday was the end of a work week and today was the start of another work week. If that were the case, they would’ve needed to pay him his overtime from yesterday because it was the end of the work week....

It’s true. You need to have people come into work, but in this case, it was the wrong choice. Let the person, if they are ill and are contagious, they really need to stay home. You don’t need to cause a pandemic in your office. I think we can all relate to our past history...

This is very funny. The employees solved the problem that the manager should have solved in the very beginning. You have somebody who’s working 39 and a half hours a week, really that is full-time. That person should be eligible for benefits, especially if they’re working regularly for 39 and a half hours. Most states...

If you’re a business owner, you probably didn’t start your company because you love reconciling bank accounts. You started it because you had a vision. A goal. A dream.

Your bank account shows cash moving in and...

That write ups not gonna happen. Now this seems to be a retail operation. Maybe they don’t have an HR department,...

If you’ve ever opened your financial reports and thought… “Okay…but what am I actually looking at?” You’re not alone. Two of the most important financial reports in your business are the Profit & Loss statement (P&L) and the Balance Sheet – and while they work together, they tell very different stories. Here’s the simple breakdown:...

Well, this was intended to be a joke. Actually, if you are on a biweekly pay schedule, you will get paid 27 times rather than the usual 26. How, you may ask. There’s 365 days in a year. When we have leap year, it’s 366. When you do the math, every 11 or so years,...
