...Introduction: When an organization is recruiting and wanting to keep that employee for a long time in that company, then the benefits it is offering such as employee leave and for how many days it is willing to pay for personal leave is very important. Employers offer employees leave in many forms such as vacation, sick time, personal time, paid time as a part of benefit package. These policies really make a difference. They develop a positive working relationship between employee and employer and also increase the commitment of the employee towards the organization which leads to more profits, promotes good working habits and help human resource manager to easily keep track of the employee attendance. This research paper is about paid and unpaid personal leaves for employees. These leaves are not under leave of absence laws. They are not required by the federal law to be granted to the employees and they are purely given by the company as a benefits package or bonus. In the body of the paper, I will discuss about the definition of these days, main goal of these leaves, number of days, rules and regulations on how to use these days, a new policy being introduced in many organizations known as PTO (Paid Time Off Policy) to benefit employees and managers in the place of paid personal leave, benefits and disadvantages. Paid Personal Days Definition: These are the days paid by the employer to the employee as a part of comprehensive benefits package or given at the request...

...can’t go on vacations, get myself out of emergency situations, or upgrade my life due to unsaved money. I have always treated this problem like it wasn’t a problem and that I will recover my losses next week, next paycheck I’ll get myself out of this mess I’d always say. By not seeing that it is a problem it has really caused more of a problem than the problem itself. All I need to do is save money from my check each week and not spend it and yet as I know this to be true I still cannot bring myself to behave the way I should when it comes to saving money. Though I have had some great times dropping my hard earned cash on an all night long party downtown in our fun filled city. I know in my gut that it’s the regular adult that is prepared for emergencies or spontaneous vacations. I have always been a smart person which is why I don’t understand why I can’t tackle this one issue in my life. If could get a handle on my immature capabilities to spend my money on debaucherous nights and learn to save my money I know deep down in my heart I would be a happier person. If only not for me but for my family that comes after me. I want to be able to give something to my unborn children one day and I know that if I can’t learn to save some of my money then I will never have anything to offer them as a financial backbone and keep them from ever having to sweat and deal with callous hands as I have had to do. In conclusion, I have a hard time saving my hard...

...Case Study – Paid Time Off Policies B6032 Human Resource Management & Talent Development Courtez Kirkwood Argosy University Paid time off is awarded to those that meet the selected criteria. Usually this is by being employed, attendance at work and working over time. Merging two companies with two different PTO policies is a difficult task as ultimately; there must be one newly created policy for all employees to follow. In addition, HR will need to further research each company for information to determine the newly formed paid time off policy once the companies have merged. Length of Employment * Usually it is important to know how long an employee has been with the company. Paid time off is accumulated over time and the length of an employee at a company can really alter their paid time off. This information is important to make sure paid time off is given fairly but also to protect the company from people who join the company just to receive paid time off. Attendance * Employees work different hours throughout the day, week, month and year. Some employees are required to work 40 hours a week; some are required to work more or less. This information is needed to help define the paid time off policy and help narrow down the qualifications Employee type * In most companies there are full time employees whom are entitled to all benefits and incentives. There are also outsourced and contractor employees within a company. The different types of employees...

...During the summer months, Arthur faces a shortage of staff when most of his senior staff call in sick or take vacation. Arthur runs into this problem every summer and does not look forward to the frustration of trying to hire sufficient temporary workers this summer. Although Arthur has earned the respect within the industry and has 20 years experience in the grocery industry, when it comes to dealing with staff shortage, Arthur does not know how to manage the problem. If Arthur knows he will faces this problem yearly, then why does he not plan ahead to avoid the frustration? Perhaps Arthur is not managing his staff as well as he can because he is lacking in supervisory skills; otherwise, he would not have run into this problem every summer. What are the problems? Staff management and on-call workers are the problems. In my opinion, Arthur is having a problem managing his senior staff because he is not communicating with them effectively regarding scheduling vacation and call-in sick days. The reason he keeps having the same problem every summer is that there are no guidelines for the staff on how to submit their schedules for time-off. Perhaps implementing guidelines will enable Arthur to manage the problem more effectively because it will allow him sufficient time to hire temporary workers. In addition, it will enable the senior staff to schedule their vacation periods in advance so that they can book trips and/or travel at a...

...It's about time for another throwback I think. Which of course means this weekends releases just weren't up to par with getting me to the movies. But that's alright because I love skipping back in time. You remember my love for 80's movies don't you? Well it's a thing. That's why I'm so happy to give you National Lampoon's Vacation! Starring Chevy Chase (Stay Cool, Hot Tub Time Machine, Caddyshack) as your typical road trip dad Clark Griswold and his always exasperated wife Ellen Griswold played by Beverly D'Angelo (Bounty Hunter, Sugar Town, The Pope Must Diet). The movie starts with Clark and his son Rusty played by Anthony Michael Hall (Dark Knight, The Breakfast Club, Edward Scissorhands) going to pick up the new family car that is supposed to drive them all the way from their hometown in Chicago all the way to California for the greatest family fun theme park ever: Wally World! The fact that the car pick up does not go accordingly is just a taste of what disasters are to come. All packed up and ready to go the family, not forgetting daughter Audrey Griswold; Dana Barron (Heartbreak Hotel, City of Industry, The Invited), head off on their 2049 mile cross-country road trip to Wally World.

...then we must compare it to the hotel's current price structure. In addition, we should complete an assessment of the guest rooms of the hotel. This will include an evaluation of the quality of the amenities the rooms provide, such as: bedding, towels, flooring, window treatments, appliances, furnishings, and fixtures. The results of the assessment will help in determining whether or not these accommodations will support an increase in the rates of the rooms. Along with review the guest rooms, we also should examine the hotel site, as well as assess the customer base. It is important to determine whether the market is commercial or tourist. The commercial market serves the business and transient patronage. If guests are using the hotel as a vacation location, then they are classified under the tourist market. Another focus would be keeping the hotel competitive. We would need to look at what the hotel offers: food service, fitness facilities, personal services, and recreational features. A property that is equipped with intriguing amenities will help the hotel to gain more...

...the trip would be a way of building a relationship, I think the sales rep would expect me to choose his company. I would not only feel guilty, but also unethical taking the vacation knowing that I would not choose Computer-Whiz, as they are not the best option for Zircon. The best solution I believe is to not accept the offer and to objectively choose the supplier that has the best technology for the lowest price. By choosing the supplier with the best technology for the lowest price, it would set up our company up for long-term success. If you choose a company that is cheaper, but does not have the best technology at this point, you are going to have to upgrade the technology sooner rather than later, thus costing the company more in the long run. While choosing the company with the best technology, you will not have to upgrade the computing facility for a longer period of time. I would also not want to risk my boss knowing that I took an offer. He could look at the offer as a reason I decided to to pick Computer-Whiz, even though I know that it would ultimately not influence my decision. By picking the best supplier, hopefully Zircon would recognize the success of the decision, and therefore they would reward me with a bonus or a raise down the line, for which I could then go on my own vacation with a clear conscience that it was...

...With the above observations in mind, let’s look at a few work situations and how one might handle them. • At annual appraisal time, a manager from the Veterans generation gives out a nice bonus for a project well done. The Generation X employee is ungrateful and says, “Why didn’t I get this six months ago, when the project was completed?” Gen X wants instant gratification, whereas a person in the Veterans generation is happy to get money anytime. The solution here may be for the company to explore reward plans geared to the different generations, or things like monetary rewards and recognition given at the time when it is earned. • A Generation X manager tells a Boomer he has been working too hard and should take time off to take the family on vacation. Instead of saying thanks, the Boomer replies, “I work to get ahead, to get a promotion, not for a vacation.” The next time that situation comes up, the manager might elect to give this particular employee a bonus, rather than suggest a vacation. • A top-notch, cross-functional team with individuals from several different generations has been set up to recommend a solution to a nasty manufacturing problem. After a couple of weeks, the manager responsible for the team cannot understand why there is constant bickering and nothing is getting done. If the manager were aware of just one characteristic of each individual relating to communication needs, he or she might understand the stalemate. The Veterans on the team are looking...

...1. How would you characterize the U.S. hotel industry in early 2005? In 2004, the hotel industry in the U.S. had $113.7 billion in revenue and $16.7 billion in pretax profit. As of the end of that year, the U.S. had approximately 4.4 million hotel rooms, two-thirds of which were affiliated with a brand (the remaining one-third were owned independently and not affiliated with a brand). The hotel industry in the U.S. is very fragmented; no one company or brand controls a majority of the hotel rooms. Overall, hotels compete on the basis of price, amenities, and service. Typically, full-service hotels will offer food and beverage outlets (like restaurants and lounges), meeting/banquet/convention facilities, a concierge, luggage service, and room service. Full-service hotels include luxury hotels (like Ritz-Carlton), upper upscale hotels (like Hilton), upscale hotels (like Radisson), and midscale with food and beverage hotels (like Holiday Inn). In 2004, full-service hotels accounted for approximately 1.6 million hotel rooms in the U.S. Limited-service hotels mostly focus on renting hotel rooms and do not offer amenities such as restaurants, lounges, and banquet rooms. Limited-service hotel brands include midscale without food and beverage hotels (like Fairfield Inn) and economy hotels (like Motel 6). In 2004, limited-service hotels accounted for approximately 1.4 million hotel rooms in the U.S. Since 2003, all hotel segments have shown improved performance...

...CHAPTER 11 CURRENT LIABILITIES AND PAYROLL 1 EYE OPENERS 1. A discounted note payable has no stated interest rate, but provides interest by discounting the note proceeds. The discount, which is the difference between the proceeds and the face of the note, is the interest and is accounted for as such. 2. a. Income or withholding taxes, social security, and Medicare b. Employees Federal Income Tax Payable, Social Security Tax Payable, and Medicare Tax Payable 3. There is a ceiling on (c) the social security portion of the FICA tax and (d) the federal unemployment compensation tax. 4. The deductions from employees’ earnings are for amounts owed (liabilities) to others for such items as federal taxes, state and local income taxes, and contributions to pension plans. 5. Yes. Unemployment compensation taxes are paid by the employer on the first $7,000 of annual earnings for each employee. Therefore, hiring two employees, each earning $12,500 per year, would require the payment of twice the unemployment tax than if only one employee, earning $25,000, was hired. 6. 1. a 2. c 3. c 4. b 5. b 7.
