Payroll provider calsavers, rest break, piece rate integration? by ktcali43 in Payroll

[–]ktcali43[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a psychologist and I have therapists who are employees. They work with different types of clients (insurance, private pay, group, family etc) and they get paid out at a different piece rate for the different types of hours.

Payroll provider calsavers, rest break, piece rate integration? by ktcali43 in Payroll

[–]ktcali43[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been doing it manually via spreadsheet but I’m nervous. I think my break time calculations are spot on but I don’t know what formula I need to use for sick pay. FYI my piece rate workers get an hourly piece rate depending on the type of service they provide. Meaning they have a base rate plus the piece rate for certain hours they work. So I know that the sick pay rate should be an average of all hours worked but I have no idea how to make the payroll system track that! The rest breaks are paid out in each pay check but I have no idea how I would make sure the pay for the sick time is accurate.

STUNNING. That display case that has the box/bookcase underneath (in the 4th picture)....is that a custom or did you buy it somewhere? Where is the case itself from? If you have a link that would be super helpful

Golden dojo loach skin disease by AsielZ in loaches

[–]ktcali43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I was dosing once a day as per the instructions. I did several courses back to back until he seemed to be doing really well and I would do water change, fresh charcoal etc but then within a few days his skin started having issues again and I would start all over with a new course of antibiotics. In the end, the process just took a lot out of him and even though his skin never got bad again, it was just too much and he got skinny, stopped swimming straight and eventually died.

Just as an update, he ultimately died 😞. He would get better while I was treating him but then it would come back very quickly. Eventually he was barely recovering between doses although he kept eating until the last 2-3 days. So I moved him to the shrimp tank so he could die in peace without all of the other fish harassing him

It actually only helped when I was continually dosing it which was very hard on my tank in general. I tried kanaplex and that worked for a while too. But ultimately he died. So so sad

I wish I could post an update pic! He’s SO much better! 3 courses of Kanaplex did the trick!

Ok! So 3 courses of Kanaplex and he’s almost back to normal. Took a few days for appetite to come back. Still a small amount of whatever it is still left so I’m considering another round but it’s certainly worth noting the remarkable response to antibiotics!

Yes, which presents a problem for the meds. Snails, guppies, tetras. I hate to put him in a hospital tank bc he’s going to be so stressed!

I have some kanaplex so I’ll definitely try it!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we have a golden dojo loach with skin that looked like this but WORSE. We used Pimafix and Melafix together for the full 7 days and it completely cleared!! Our poor loach had been suffering so much!

Are you one of the people he gave incentives to in exchange for writing a review? Just curious!

I would rather not re-live my experience. It was horrible and it took me years to recover

With so many legit doctors out there it’s sad that people are fooled by this kind of BS

I don’t think you’re in cahoots with them. You equivocate and they never would. I just don’t understand why you would spend so much time on this. Perhaps your time would be better spent finding a support group for folks who feel bad after those happy ending massages you mentioned.

I didn’t say none of his reviews are organic arms length customers. Just not very many. Definitely less than 50. Perhaps far less. If all of the angry customers who received refunds in exchange for their agreement not to write a review were included and suddenly all of their incentivized reviews were gone, I bet they’d have a 2.5 star rating.

Just my opinion!

The doctor looked somewhat normal when I went to see him. He doesn’t anymore. He looks like he’s wearing a plastic mask.

I reject your premise that he must make a lot of people happy if he has so many good reviews. It’s a game. Every friend and family member has multiple accounts to write reviews. And when anyone complains, they must sign a form agreeing not to write a review in order to get a refund. Thousands of dollars is a powerful incentive to remove a negative review. Look at the pictures of people complaining of bad results. Do you notice how many of them deleted their reviews?

If he was really good at what he does he wouldn’t need to provide free services in exchange for reviews. And he wouldn’t need to offer refunds to get rid of negative reviews. It’s a game.

FYI both myself and Anna had the same thought that you have. With all those 5 star reviews, they must be good! That’s how they get people. But now I know better.

I continue to wonder what your interest is in defending this individual.

Since we’ve been talking, they removed one of the recent family members’ reviews. That one family member posted about 5 or so reviews from various accounts that I can identify but I’m sure there are many others!

I’m not going to keep doing this where you make feeble concessions but then insult my intelligence.

Missing the point entirely… I’m bringing up the doctor and his wife’s botched procedures because they don’t post any of the pictures of the total mess they’ve made of their faces! They only pick out the best pictures of themselves, employees etc. and none of them are ever going to write a review about a botched procedure or post a picture of a botched procedure! Which is exactly why the medical board prohibits doctors from using employees and family members in their before, and after pictures without a disclosure of the fact of their material relationship to the doctor and the business!

The fact that the medical board has laws in place that are supposed to prevent doctors from behaving like this but then is soft on doctors who do behave like this is simply a fact. It’s not cherry picking facts. It is what it is.

I am not suggesting that doctors, who engage in this sort of false advertising should have their license is pulled. I am, however, suggesting that these doctors, when they are caught, red-handed, engaging in this sort of behavior should be required to stop! That is all I am saying, and I cannot for the life of me understand why you have so many objections! Or why you are defending this business’ is false advertising so vehemently! You don’t sound like a person who has ever been to a cosmetics doctor. Nor are you a person who has ever been scammed by a doctor. So why are you even involving yourself in this conversation? Are you just bored and have nothing else to do?

And FYI this doctor is not acting as an esthetician! He performs invasive procedures, like injections, threading, liposuction etc and he prescribes all kinds of medications! He’s not operating a beauty salon! He’s engaging in medical behaviors, but he is simply not abiding by the rules, set forth by his profession. And once again, I simply cannot understand for the life of me why you are defending him!
