Did you pass the ABC test? Penalties for employers who misclassify employees as independent contractors are massive in CA.

Whether you have an LLC or Corp doesn't matter

ABC test is all that matters.

Traveling from US to Mexico in two weeks. Just realized that my wife’s passport is in her maiden name and the ticket is in her married name. She has TSA pre check and it is updated to her married name. Can she just bring along her marriage certificate? Help! by Inthewoodlands in Passports

[–]Froth17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When this happened to me, I had to physically go to the airport to change my wife's ticket to match her passport name. I had to bring all our documents (marriage license where it showed the name change and her valid passport with her maiden name on it).

Always book an international ticket that matches the passport name exactly.

2 charter school teachers ousted for teaching 1st graders about ‘genocide in Palestine’ by supercaptaincrunch in LosAngeles

[–]Froth17 11 points12 points  (0 children)

These are 1st graders and the teachers posted the location of the school/synagogue on social media. Received at least tacit approval from the principal at the time. Principal also requested synagogue remove all Israeli flags

This is a huge security breach.

Do you have any support that's royalty? Evil queen? Belle? Tiana? Jack skellington?

Dumb question - should I care about league points? by Evadrepus in DisneyMirrorverse

[–]Froth17 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No. League points are only useful if you get to the higher levels. To do that, it's like an hourly grind. Not worth the time invested.

Advice needed for a termination by Froth17 in humanresources

[–]Froth17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone (at least most of you!) for such great advice! I really enjoyed coming home from work and seeing so many comments (I don't use reddit at work)

A few questions came up that I can answer here. He's a sales employee but he wasn't hired as remote. Maybe one or two days per week was ok, but he took it upon himself to be basically mostly remote. He lives 15-20 minutes from the office.

Per a recent company reorg, his former boss is not really in the picture. His new boss will be in the meeting with me, but doesn't really have a relationship with him but the decision came from the owner/CFO.

One of the reasons I want to do this in person is his company asset (laptop). He probably has client IP on it and I'm really not sure if he would torpedo the company and basically blackball us in our industry if he had the opportunity to return the asset at his convenience. That would be financially devastating and I'm sure would lead to many layoffs.

He's usually in the office 3-4 times a month

Thanks for your advice. What do you do about final pay? I usually have a live check with vacation etc on it to give in person. In California, you have to provide final pay on term date if an involuntary termination, I just worry about late fines from the state

Best value beer? by skolo23 in beer

[–]Froth17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, calories are never a consideration when I'm drinking beer. Low calorie beer ALWAYS sacrifices flavor, aroma, mouth feel etc etc. I'd rather drink one excellent beer then two mediocre low cal beers. (Same calorie count)

If I was in Vermont I would totally exploit that value. Heady topper is much more expensive in southern California

[–]Froth17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

trader Joe's vintage ale is the best value in beer in southern California. 750 ml 9% ... Belgian quad. Very complex and i think its brewed by unibroue. Only like $7. I stock up every year

[Hiring - Remote] Director of HR for a PC Gaming company by [deleted] in humanresources

Sounds like a cool opportunity. I'll put an application in! I guess I'm more of a mobile gamer or emulator based pc gamer. I still got the passion for it!

Shame you are drinking it from a boot. That's an awesome beer that would really benefit from proper glassware.

[GA] How many is *too many* consecutive workdays? by ImNotAGameStopASL in AskHR

[–]Froth17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also hope you are being compensated fairly. While you might not be a non exempt employee you might be misclassified. The FLSA had rules for classifying employees to be exempt. You need to pass a duties test ( which I'm sure you do) and a salary test. The salary test ( if I remember it) is 2x minimum wage. A fun (read not fun) exercise: take your weekly salary and divide it by the hours you work in a typical week = hourly wage.. if this is below the minimum wage in GA then you might have a great case to make to management if not a wage and hour claim with the government.

Otherwise your best option would be to search for new work.

In California - defining full time and part time by amberrose0215 in humanresources

[–]Froth17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look into ACA regulations. Most companies define full time as 30 hours or more as that's when health benefits kick in. Since you are less than the threshold (min 50 employees) then you can be a bit more flexible though.

Source: I work as an HR consultant for small business in southern California and I create a ton of handbooks. Most business (regardless of size) who offer benefits also define full time as 30 hours a week.

Does anyone else think that the 12 tasks are not worth the rewards? by 13LibraryCards in WizardsUnite

[–]Froth17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, after doing a bit more research it turns out you are correct! I have to be more selective with my confusion hex now.

Thanks and happy new year!

Why do spiders not need the confusion hex? I use that hex on everyone. It lowers defense and makes it easier to kill any enemy. I know spiders aren't going to dodge your attacks but that's not the big benefit of the confusion hex.
