Are we talking about the same thing?

Dear Trygve,





I hope this email finds you and yours well.





Thank you for your email in concern of unused but earned PTO. Please note the following per the Employee Handbook:





1. Unused Sick leave benefits will not be paid to employees upon termination of employment. This policy was changed on 09-09-05.

2. Unused Personal leave benefits may be eligible to be paid to employees upon termination of employment. It has been determined that personal leave benefit has been paid as part of your severance pay.

3. we have established guidelines in determining whether employees are eligible to be paid unused but earned vacation time upon termination. It has been also determined that 40 hours has been paid in your severance pay.

4. The company. will not issue the remaining 40 hours of unused but earned vacation time. This is our new policy and the Employee Handbook that you quoted in your letter to us is outdated as of 09-09-05, the day after your layoff.

Good luck in your continuing job search.

--cause I'm pretty sure when I'm told when I get laid off that I'm going to get the three weeks of PTO that I'M OWED - IN ADDITION to the severance - and then the company policy gets changed THE VERY NEXT DAY that I got screwed.

Weather that can't decide if it's gonna be nice or crappy - and instead of rain, you just sort of get this foggy mist that feels like someone is spitting on you.

Sitting in the Spitting weather watching adults sux at softball, and not having alcohol to pass the time with.

The day AFTER your layoff they changed the policy?

Well then you should be grandfathered in.

I have it and I bet he wishes I didn't- HA!

you made me think of this Hall & Oats tune

Shake it up is all that we know

Using the bodies up as we go

Waking up to fantasy

The shates all around arenÂ’t the colors we used to see

Broken ice still melts in the sun

And times that are broken can often be one again

WeÂ’re soul alone

And soul really matters to me

Take a look around

YouÂ’re out of touch

IÂ’m out of time

But IÂ’m out of my head when youÂ’re not around

Reaching out for something to hold

Looking for a love where the climate is cold

Manic moves and drowsy dreams

Or living in the middle between the two extremes

Smoking guns hot to the touch

Would cool down if we didnÂ’t use them so much

WeÂ’re soul alone

And soul really matters to me

Too much

note:Merriam-Webster says there is no such word as SHATES

Why wouldn't you be covered? The day you change a policy is the day the new policy would be in effect. So anything prior to that would be the guidelines being used.

I say you fling bags of burning poo at em.

Driving 45 minutes, waiting 20 minutes to drive 200 feet, parking in weeds taller than me, waiting 10 minutes to pay 15 bucks each to spend 3 hours waiting in line to ride an 11 minute hayride.

commercial puppy breeders.....aka puppy mills

Driving 90 minutes with my mother so she can get a bichon frise puppy, only to see the breeders treat their dogs like livestock. I would have stopped her from buying from them but she has been so heartbroken since her dog died. :angry: :frown:

You would think, but it's actually the opposite. We went to a farm in Wisconsin. People in rural areas can get by with a lot more because there is no one nearby to know about it or report it. They also have the space (barns, sheds, pole barns) to house alot of dogs.

If you ever notice in the classifieds under the dogs for sale, half of the phone numbers are Wisconsin area codes. Western WI is all rural and agriculture. And most of the large puppy mill busts they've made in the past few years have been in western WI.

It's so hard to find a reputable breeder. One that does because they LOVE the breed and they want to better the breed. NOT make living at it. I'm going to report those people to the humane society of that county so something can be done. :angry:

If you think that someone did it, you should check into it. Email and other correspondence sent over the internet can be traced back to where it came from.

no shit. litereally :smile:

bear, i'd say its time to get yourself an attorney. if the policy changed after your term of employment was up, you're entitled to the unused earned time. period. and then they can pay your attorney for you too.

The police department needs more staff. They seem to take a while in taking care of things. Too many cases, too few investigators.
