Good morning! Finally, something to blog about! There hasn't been much to share lately. Please let me know if you have something. I'm open to suggestions.
We have a full house today with several visitors. Bill, Deborah, Louis Dominic, and David are here today.
Kathleen has answered the questions from the suggestion box: Here the info:
Would there be any consideration of being able to get paid every week instead of bi-weekly? A lot of people find it difficult to budget their money.
Most of us would absolutely prefer to be paid weekly, but executing payroll tasks every week would impede our ability to properly address other essential accounting functions. The staff has grown larger, and so the payroll task is more consuming. Time required to facilitate payroll is the main reason most corporations no longer pay employees weekly.
Since the amount of money paid to employees would be the same amount, we suggest placing half of the paycheck into a savings account and tapping into it only in the second week following the last pay period.
I would like to suggest that we consider a company shutdown for the 3 days between the Christmas holidays and the New Year's holiday (December 26th, 27th, 28th). Employees could be charged vacation time which would also help with scheduling of vacation time during the year. This would be extremely helpful for customer service.
Though it would be lovely for all of us to be "off" during the holidays, many of our customers are at their offices during this time, cleaning off their desks and working. Editorial and marketing are busy preparing for the heavy work of the winter exhibitions and shows. And, for accounting, there are always support projects for departments in need.
Can the company provide employees with 10-15 minute chair massages during
lunch break? (By a professional, of course.)
We have explored the possibility of employee massage but – at this time – regret that even mini-massage proves cost-prohibitive at this time.
When will the A/C be shut off AGAIN?
Bert has notified the bank that we are cold and that it does indeed seem as if the air conditioning has been switching on. This problem should be resolved shortly.
Thanks very much for your questions!
