Street Toyota Employees Participate in Childrens Benefit

Amarillo, Texas (PRWEB) April 23, 2012

Street Toyota employees attended and participated in a benefit for abused children being sponsored by The Bridge of Amarillo, Texas.

Dave Walker, Scion Manager at Street Toyota and also a member of The Bridge was part of the cast Friday night when the Bridge held its annual Murder Mystery Dinner. The theme this year was Until Death Do We Part, which was a wedding mystery where one of the cast members mysteriously died during the ceremony. Walker was the wedding singer prior the wedding ceremony and held an important role during the play.

I was really excited to be performing before the play began as guests arrived, Walker said. The most important thing for me was that I was able to donate my time for such a good cause.

The evenings play also included other Street Toyota members randomly chosen from the audience to participate. Natalie Slatton, Marketing Coordinator and David Meraz, Director of Social Media also joined the cast Friday evening.

I was really shocked and nervous to be picked to join the cast on stage at first, Slatton. But seeing everyone else on stage with me was really exciting and my nerves quickly calmed down.

Natalie and David were part of the band during the wedding where they played imaginary instruments. As the evening progressed David was a suspect in murder of one of the cast members.

It was such a great evening seeing my co-workers on stage, Slatton said. I think the reason we do things like this is to help out the community, and it just so happens that this time it included a little humor and murder.

Street Toyota in Amarillo, Texas was established in 1982. A new 58,000 square foot facility on 9 acres is now open at 45th and Soncy. This is a state of the art facility and the customer’s comfort has been emphasized from the ample parking right down to the gourmet coffee. Street Toyota is the first dealer in west Texas to become Signature Certified.

Street Toyota has been a valuable corporate citizen in the Panhandle area. They provide support to area nonprofit organizations such as United Way, Better Business Bureau, Amarillo Adult Literacy, Harrington Cancer Center, Meals on Wheels, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Amarillo Symphony, Amarillo Museum of Art, Amarillo Little Theater, Lone Star Ballet, Discovery Center, Globe News Center for the Performing Arts, CACHA (Hispanic Chamber of Commerce) and many other organizations.

New Research Shows TrekDesk Treadmill Desks May Offer Employees Significant Health Benefits

Posted on by

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) March 20, 2012

New Research from the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute reported recently in Diabetes Care (a publication of the American Diabetes Association) has shown that overweight and obese employees who regularly sit for long periods of time could improve their health by adding regular activity breaks into their daily schedule. TrekDesk treadmill desks allow activity through out the day without the need to pull employees away from regular office tasks.

The Baker IDI researchers measured the blood glucose levels at various intervals in obese study participants following a high calorie meal. The study found that employees were much more effective in their bodys control of both glucose and insulin levels when performing regular two minute regimens of either light or moderate intensity activities such as walking.

This finding is significant since spikes in glucose and blood sugars are known to cause a vast number of severe health problems over time, including: cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and diabetes.

Lead researcher Dr. David Dunstan explained the significance of their findings to Diabetes Care: In a controlled laboratory environment that mimicked the typical patterns of desk-bound office workers, participants who interrupted their sitting time with regular activity breaks, showed up to 30 per cent improvement in the bodys response to a meal containing glucose. The good news is that the improvements were seen even with light-intensity activity, which is the equivalent of strolling.

Our research has already shown that sitting for long periods can be hazardous to health. Sedentary behaviour is also a risk factor for chronic diseases, including some cancers. The results of this study now provide some direction about what activity can be undertaken to break up sitting time and counteract the negative effects of sitting for long periods, including the frequency of breaks required to improve health outcomes.

Dr. Dunstan was quick to add that the health dangers of sitting were not confined to merely the overweight and obese nor specifically to office environments. The findings are not confined to people who are overweight and suggest that even people who are not overweight could benefit from breaking up their sitting time.

The researchers found that light intensity exercise was just as beneficial as moderate intensity exercise in delivering healthy results. The mere act of standing up and walking around the office was sufficient to impart the myriad benefits found in the study.

Our bodies clearly need continuous activity through out the day, study after study confirms this, stated Steve Bordley, CEO of TrekDesk Treadmill Desks. We have been sounding this alarm since 2008 that employees need to keep moving to stay healthy and to increase productivity.

About TrekDesk Treadmill Desks: Designed to fit any existing treadmill, TrekDesk treadmill desk is an affordable, full sized, height adjustable workstation that allows individuals the opportunity to gain the necessary amount of exercise daily to maintain health, prevent disease, strengthen muscles, boost mood and productivity, without requiring additional time during the day or extra motivation.

Agreement to Reduce Misclassification of Employees as Independent Contractors Reached Between U.S. Department of Labor and Twelve States Including Massachusetts

Posted on by

Naples, Florida (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

Gilman Law LLP, a leading national law firm closely monitoring developments in employment law including recent U.S. Department of Labor and state agreements and U.S. Supreme Court cases, offers free complaint reviews for employees regarding improper employee classification and denial of overtime wages and benefits.

The U.S. Department of Labors Wage and Hour Division and California Secretary of Labor have entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding the improper classification of employees as independent contractors. The Department of Labor and state agencies have begun to engage in joint efforts to protect the rights of employees by reducing the practice conducted by some businesses of misclassifying employees and depriving them of benefits.

California joins a list of other states, including Massachusetts, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Utah, and Washington, which have signed similar agreements and are actively working to protect the rights of employees.

The U.S. Department of Labor has launched a misclassification initiative under the auspices of Vice President Bidens Middle Class Task Force with the goal of preventing, detecting and remedying employee misclassification. More information is available on the U.S. Department of Labors misclassification Web page at http://www.dol.gov/misclassification/ [http://www.dol.gov/misclassification/ __title__ U.S. Department of Labors misclassification Web page].

Gilman Law LLP, a national law firm handling employment law cases, is investigating and representing many independent contractors and sales representatives who have been misclassified and who should be deemed employees in many industries, including but not limited to the following: Banking, Pharmaceutical Sales Representatives, Retail, Food Service, Construction, Telemarketing, Trucking, Manufacturing, Hospitality, Technology, and Security.

The United States Supreme Court is also examining misclassification of employees, specifically pharmaceutical sales representatives who claim they were denied overtime wages due to being misclassified as outdoor salesmen rather than employees entitled to overtime pay (United States Supreme Court, Docket 11-204). One question before the United States Supreme Court is whether the Fair Labor Standards Act outside salesman exemption applies to pharmaceutical sales representatives who promote but do not sell their companys drugs to physicians. In an amicus brief filed last week, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) urged the Supreme Court to find that pharmaceutical sales representatives are not salesmen.

Gilman Law LLP is offering free complaint consultations to employees who may have been misclassified as an independent contractor and denied overtime wages and other employment benefits, including but not limited to employees working as construction workers, delivery/couriers, stocking vendors, maintenance workers, food processing plant workers, dental assistants, waitresses, nail salon techs, nurses, secretaries, landscapers, and many other persons who were not properly classified as employees.

Gilman Law LLP has extensive experience representing clients in a wide variety of legal issues, including federal and state wage and hour violations, antitrust, toxic substances litigation, consumer protection, defective drugs and medical devices, insurance litigation, and securities litigation. More information about the firms ongoing investigation of wage and labor violations can be found at http://www.gilmanlawllp.com.

Study Shows Negative Online Reputation Hurts Companies Trying to Hire New Employees

Posted on by
Reply


New York, New York (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

A Q3 2011 survey of 4,000 people looking for new jobs during the previous 12 months by the Corporate Executive Board, 66% responded that they lost interest in a potential employer because of something they learned online. Top online reputation management companies, like Reputation Rhino, are working with business clients to improve their online image in order to attract and hire the best candidates.

Everyone understands the importance of a positive online reputation when looking for a job. Recruiters and HR professionals frequently review publicly available information on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter when evaluating job applicants. However, hiring managers might be surprised to find out that job seekers are checking out their own companys online reputation, even before applying or interviewing for a job.

The search for a new job has moved beyond job fairs and classified advertising to the social web. Popular job search sites like Hotjobs, CareerBuilder and Monster.com remain a starting point for many. Now job applicants also search potential employers by going to company review sites, like Glassdoor.com and Vault.com, and checking with friends and acquaintances on social networking sites to inquire about lifestyle, compensation and corporate culture.

It is more important than ever for companies to monitor and manage their online reputation and respond to online defamation by disgruntled ex-employees and anonymous postings by competitors and other rivals.

Negative reviews damage a companys reputation and impact sales, but they also hurt employee morale and make it more difficult to attract the best job applicants, explains Reputation Rhino founder and CEO, Todd William.

Reputation Rhino recently worked with a well-known New York insurance agency on a reputation management campaign to promote positive content on Google and attract dozens of applications from well-qualified candidates for an available sales and marketing vacancy.

This is something we do every day, explains William, online public relations is now within reach for every small and medium-size businesses. We believe in the power of online reputation management and taking the time to get to know our clients to help them achieve their online goals, whether it is doubling sales by getting to page one of Google or hiring a superstar.

Greenbelt, MD (PRWEB) February 07, 2012

The District of Columbia Court of Appeals has ordered the D.C. Office of Employee Appeals (OEA) to take steps to come into compliance with a long-ignored deadline for deciding its cases. In November of 2011, Attorneys Jay Holland, Brian Markovitz, and Veronica Jackson, of Joseph, Greenwald, & Laake, P.A., on behalf of the Washington Teachers Union (WTU) and several individual members, filed a Writ of Mandamus against OEA to compel it to follow its 120-day deadline when deciding public employee appeals. These appeals are the only possible recourse for hundreds of teachers fired by the school district over two years ago. To date, these teachers have not received a hearing, nor a chance to be reinstated to their jobs. In many cases, no administrative judge has been assigned to hear their cases.

The Court of Appeals ordered that OEA respond to the Court within 20 days to explain what actions it intends to undertake to address the delay in assigning administrative law judges in order to come into compliance with 6 DCMR
