I'm concerned that so many consultants don't see what Cathy is doing to us... these benefits are coming out of our end paycheck somewhere.

Two thoughts. 1) the firm pays the tax on the gift cards. 2) providing one time benefits doesn't create a potentially long term salary obligation for the firm and provides a way to share the spoils of a good year. Consider just appreciating it as a nice gesture? Or send it back and work the days off?

Gift cards are pre-taxed at a higher rate unless you are making $300k+ and I'm sure raise/bonus reflect PTO which were free unofficial days most of the time anyways. Just give us the cash.

Hello HR folks. Overheard a conversation at work and am curious what is the norm.
If an employee goes out on FMLA, obviously the benefits person sends them the STD, FMLA paperwork etc. But is it the maagers responsibility to maintain communication with the person out on leave and to get a timeline on their return or would that be the benefits team? Or maybe the HRBP?

Hi! I just got converted to full time as a intern, and received this email about 401k which I don’t quite understand. Does the 3% means the match that company gives to me for free? So I don’t have to contribute anything to my 401k while getting free 3% match money? Thank you!!
