What is the name of your state? South Carolina I work for a home improvement company that does in-home sales and a few sales are done here at our office/showroom. We were wondering, if the customer buys (signs a contract) on the premises (at our place of business) do they still have the...

Thank you so much for your reply, dktaprinss. I really appreciate it! Now I finally know what to do!

What is the name of your state? South Carolina I hope this is in the correct forum. I know it's a stupid question but I'm WAY too embarrased to ask anyone face-to-face. My car loan was sent to a collection agency and I got a settlement letter. After I paid it off, I never heard anything else...

Tammy: Unfotunately, I've learned that companies don't always think like us lil pee-ons out there! After I let my home office know that my manager was stealing company time, they did nothing. And my manager was told of my ratting her out.I take it personally because it affects me as in, fewer...

Okeedoke. Thanks for your responses. This is an awesome board-I'm glad I came across it!

Gotcha. But my question is..how can they continue her pay when she isnt working? She will NOT be doing any work from home while on maternity/medical leave. Basically, someone else will be making up her missed man-hours and she will still get a check. I know companies can do whatever they want...

You guys are right :) My eyes stay open but my mouth will stay shut! Thans again for your advice and input.

Hi Beth3. Here are the answers to your questions: 1.No medical leave. If I were in a car accident, I could be absent but without pay. Or I could use my 1 week vacation and any sick time I had accrued. They'd hold my job but I'd receive no continuation of pay. I believe we can opt for disability...

Thank you all for your responses. I don't want to get my manager in trouble-I just have a hard time working 36-38 hrs a week and getting paid 36-38 hrs a week when she works anywhere from 31-38 hrs a week and she gets paid 40 hrs consistently. I have a hard time accepting that she gets paid...

What is the name of your state? SC...home office in TX My company offers no maternity leave whatsoever. My boss is pregnant and when she found out there is no mat. leave she was devastated. She went crying to the boss of the business that is in contract with us right next door. He going to...

Thanks for the reply, cbg. : ) She's not on a salaried basis, it's strictly hourly with bonus. However, I am very afraid our home office won't like me keeping tabs or bringing it to their attention (our HO is hundreds of miles away and as long as the store is taken care of and sales look good, I...

What is the name of your state? South Carolina (but my company's home office is in Texas, if that matters) My manager is stealing time from the company by falsifying time records. She works an avg. of 34-38 hours per week yet turns in 40 hrs. I have started to make copies of the schedule that...
