For the office, it might be okay. I bought a walking pad last year for my apartment and, even with a thick pad underneath, I found it to be to too loud and worried about complaints from my downstairs neighbor. I also found it difficult to focus on what I was reading bc I was more focused on not falling.

I got one and I LOVE it. I walk at least 2 hours a day on it and it’s just as easy to type as it is just using the standing desk

I got one 6 months ago for my home office. It’s great for easy days like doc review or sitting on long calls where you’re doing more listening than talking. However, it’s difficult to use if you’re drafting or multi-tasking, just too much to focus on at once. Wouldn’t recommend for in-office because you may not want to walk that much in your office clothes (and can get a little sweaty!)

I have a governmental entity client in Texas that wants to offer 6 weeks of paid parental leave for all employees, even those who aren’t eligible for FMLA. After the paid 6 weeks, the employee can choose to continue paid leave using any accrued personal leave.

Texas does not have a paid parental leave statute.

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm. You get another email at 2pm from Client A and respond immediately. The next email comes in at 4pm, you read it and respond only at 4:30pm. None of the email responses take more than 3-5mins. You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?
