But all are designed to assist our visitors in finding the answers for their payroll training needs. Visit us often as our new format will include frequent information changes and helpful links.
This Week On Politically Payroll Ms. Lambert's guest this week is Linda Meric, National Director for 9to5, National Association of Working Women. Founded in 1973, 9to5 has emerged as the national organization dedicated to putting working women's issues on the public agenda. In a interview to be recorded earlier in the day, we will be discussing the timely issue of paid sick leave. If you have any questions for our guest please send them to politicallypayroll@cox.net prior to 9 am Wednesday morning. On Past Politically Payroll Programs... APA's Government Relations Manager Appears on “Politically Payroll” “Politically Payroll” hosted by Vicki M. Lambert, CPP was very pleased to have Scott Mezistrano, Senior Manager of Government Relations for the American Payroll Association join us on our June 25, 2008 program. We had a lively discussion of topics of interest to payroll professionals. To listen to a recorded version of the show click here. Archives: If you would like to listen to our June 18th show on the DHS program e-verify with Marie Theresa Sebrechts, Regional Media Manager for the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service click here. Politically Payroll is presented on KLAV AM 1230 in Las Vegas, Nevada every Wednesday evening at 7:30 pm Pacific time and may be streamed on the web at www.klav1230am.com. The "Most Trusted Name in News" Does Not Apply When It Comes To Payroll Issues... On Sunday June 8th CNN's show "Your Money" discussed the issue of vacation payouts when being laid off. The host Ali Velshi and the Human Resource Expert, Cynthia Shapiro discussed what employees must be paid when being laid off. The expert stated and the host confirmed that employees are entitled to two things: unpaid or unused vacation and unemployment insurance. The part about unpaid vacation is wrong. Whether or not an employee is entitled to unused vacation upon termination is decided by individual state law. Ms. Lambert wrote an e-mail to both the host and the expert on the show to explain their error on this subject (click on links to read the e-mails). Neither the host nor the expert has bothered to either acknowledge the e-mail nor correct the information. The June 15th, 22nd, and 29th shows made no mention of the error whatsoever nor the e-mail sent to either the host nor the guest "expert". Ms. Lambert used this error as a basis for an article in the August 2008 issue of Payroll Manager's Report (IOMA) which gave out the correct information. A copy of this issue of the newsletter has been sent to Mr. Velshi in hopes he will correct the information. Click here to read a copy of the e-mail. Maybe payroll professionals should also send an e-mail to CNN and the show (yourmoney@cnn.com) to let them know they expect the same high standards for payroll information as they give to all other information relayed on the network. Unfortunately for CNN, if failing to correct this error is any indication, it is becoming apparent as the weeks go by that maybe they do.
