    Opinions on staffing crisis in a small business

    This is good advice. I have a friend who slips into these medical jobs easily. She's just spent nearly a year in Sydney whilst her daughter settles in down there and she is in demand for medical jobs. She is back here working for a specialist, but not getting enough hours to suit her. If this...

    ... or a wife :D. I cannot help but think China (always thought he was a man, never thought about him being a woman) needs a wife who can help run the business.

    Opinions on staffing crisis in a small business

    This is what I was thinking also. You may find someone (like me and my casual job) where I'm happy to do one or two days maximum but is prepared (like the Christmas rush) to work more hours, knowing it will drop back to a more manageable level once the busy time is over. You might find more...

    Opinions on staffing crisis in a small business

    Without looking back through dozens of posts, I'm curious about one thing... A while back you said something along the lines that you didn't trust your staff member, or that there was some issue, but rather than sort it out you preferred to keep her... something like "the devil you know" or...

    Opinions on staffing crisis in a small business

    Would this colleague allow one of his staff to give you some time now to get things set up. If you offer enough money to have her come in on the understanding that you will not try to poach her, he would allow her to get your systems up and running and do it with your other staff member there...

    Opinions on staffing crisis in a small business

    The staff coming a different source are still going to have to work with you though. Why will it be any different to what has been the result before? You are likely to lose them too and have a big turnover and some "temp" staff who refuse to work for you unless you make some changes to your...

    Opinions on staffing crisis in a small business

    This sounds like good advice. If there are indeed about 20 items per day and you are working three days per week then how long would it take you to check 20 item numbers per day? If one error could mean "thousands of dollars" then this is one area that I think you should be checking daily. If...

    Opinions on staffing crisis in a small business

    If I was working for you and you found errors in such a crucial document, I would be terribly embarrassed. I believe in this regard, you have every right to check the document as it impacts so much on your payments. I don't think you need to be worried about this being seen as harassment. This...

    Opinions on staffing crisis in a small business

    If Mary (or anybody else) claimed harassment because you as the employer had to chase her to do something that is part of her job, I think it would be thrown out. That is not harassment. If you ask once "what happened to Mr X's account?" and she doesn't know the answer, she would undertake to...

    Opinions on staffing crisis in a small business

    I'm not sure if I've missed something, but why are you paying staff to be there when you are not taking patients? Of course, there is back office and chasing up work as you've explained, but does that mean you have staff there when you are not there doing catch-up office work? I'd try to find a...
