Business & Finance - 13 October 2006

Last month I made a big mistake. I work for a medium size insurance co. Last month I voided several claim checks totaling about $17K in our system when they should have been sent as unclaimed property to the state. I was overworked and stressed and I didn't think it through. I discovered my mistake a week ago while reconciling some accounts. To make matters worse, I had recently had a compliance discussion on this very subject and I stated I would never tell anyone to void old checks and reissue. I have been with my co for 7 yrs. To add to it, I just got a promotion and a good size raise for my hard work and honesty. The financials are being worked on now and I'm terrified that my mistake will be found out. Part of me says fess up and deal with the outcome. The other part says maybe they won't discover it, its not a large amount. I've been agonizing over this since I discovered my error. I don't want my boss to think Im a liar, but I don't want to loose my job. WWUD???

Last year I have gained a new supervisor on my job. first meeting her she was told negitive things about me by two employees that does not like me anyway. when meeting her I introduced myself first. and she did not want to give eye contact, nor shake hands. I have a career outside this job that require me to attend court maybe once a year. she gave me pure hell to be able to attend court she tried to stop me from going. since then she's nice some days, sometimes you never no what angle she is comming from. there was some information that she passed on to me. then her supervisor had a mix up on a situation with another co-worker of mine. some other info was given to my co-worker by telephone a new message. then my supervisor screams at me when I'm explaining the situation. my supervisor yelled at me in front of a lot of people.

I was hired for a part time position and my employer knows that I am working part time at another place. They want me to work full time now but I refused and they're threatening to terminate me because I cannot work full time. I'm still on probation and I've only worked there for a month. I'm not sure what my rights are. Please advise!!

They built a new CVS at a place I drive past a lot and while they built it they put up the sign that says "CVS/Pharmacy" but they put a white sheet over the "Pharmacy" part. The stupid thing is that they have a sign in front of the build site that says "Coming soon: CSV/Pharmacy". Now it's done and they're setting up the inside and it's still covered. What's so bad about the word "pharmacy"? Are they worried somebody might break the letters so it says "C / harm "? Or maybe they don't want Drug addicts breaking in to steal oxycontin while they set up so they cover up the pharmacy part to throw them off? Well that wont work because the construction sign says it. Well I guess logic doesn't apply to CVS anyways because they already had a store next to a Shaws Market nearly 1000 feet away.

however do you in put your labor costs as direct or loaded costs. If direct labor was 10,000 and the % applied was 20% ..what goes in the 10,000 or the 12000 loaded cost....

What base do you use to allocate ODC if you had total ODCs of 11000...how would you determine how much to apply to each contract or unit....thanks
