Hey small business owners, if you can't pay your workers 7 pd sl days per annum,

[terry]

This is the attitude that makes small business owners just try to do with as few employees as possible.

As a small business owner I have found I can make the same income with many fewer employees and much less stress.

[Chris_]

The company I work for provides both paid sick days and paid personal days in addition to paid vacation.

We are not allowed to bank any sick or personal days, but can bank up to 2 weeks of vacation.

I'd prefer it was the other way around.

*cough* *cough* -- Mr. Nurelman, I won't be in today...

It's not just small business owners that try to do with as few employees as possible.  I think almost all companies do.  Isn't the cost of employees usually one of the highest recurring costs for most companies large or small?

Even more so for Government.

I've made that type of call.  I just don't fake the cough.   If I am calling off sick it is because I am actually sick.

We are allowed to use our personal days for any reason and I usually try to schedule them in advance when I can.

That the cost of the employees is the highest recurring cost for government is a given, however it appears that the government takes the opposite approach and tries to do it with as many employees as possible.

Case in point is local government road repair crews.

If you don't think business should run the way *I* say it should then .... be damned.  I will alert until you get banned!

Hey small business owners, if you can't pay your workers 7 pd sl days per annum, IMO you don't belong in business. hmmmmf.

Give me your name and address so we can meet and I'll explain to you face-to-face exactly why your opinion has absolutely no value in the real world.

My guess is you'd rather hide behind the keyboard.

Uh, lonestarnut has a serious detractor.  I had forgotten about this little incident.  Maybe someone with a mole can search it out for posting;

213. Weren't you the person who berated the UPS employee for doing their job?
 Methinks your empathy for lowly employees only goes so far...

Hmmm was it lonestarnut or another DUmmie that berated that poor girl at the UPS because they brought the payroll in late for mailing?  I think this is what they are referring to.  Heck, it is hard to follow that thread .... it is over 200 posts now.

Government regulation (city, county, state, federal) and employees that would not show up to ship a machine but always show up to get their paycheck made me think twice about working 100 hours a week and close.  that was seven permanent high technology jobs, about 125,000 in sales tax and over three million dollars coming into the local economy from outside sources that stopped.

Make things too difficult and the hard working guy will quit working hard..........and the not hard working guy gets hurt much worse.

My oldest son came up with an invention a few years back that he wanted to sell to the state and make a fortune.

It was a "Self Standing Shovel".  A shovel that you could set up around road construction sites that stood up by itself and didn't require a worker to hold it in place.

[Texacon]

Dayum!  That's a smart kid!  Then all the state road workers would have to do is hold buckets down with their ass!

There is no bottom when it comes to the depths of their hypocricy.

Good idea. That would give the ghost employees something to do.
