We came across a heartwarming story today on GoodNewsNetwork.com that we had to share with you!

Nearly 60 years ago, a woman named Angela Davidson began her journey in animal sciences at university. As one of only six women in her class, her dreams were paused when she started her family.

Fast forward to December 2023: Angela, now a grandmother, proudly walked across the stage at the University of Liverpool, finally claiming her well-deserved bachelor’s degree in animal sciences with honors.

In the 1960s, Angela was part of a tiny group of pioneering women in her field. Her return to academia is not just a personal victory, but a testament to changing times. Today, 80% of the university's veterinary students are women!

Angela's story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to chase your dreams.

Question: We have an exempt employee who has been taking a lot of long lunches and my boss wants to deduct time from her paid time off (PTO) bank. Can we dock her PTO for taking a long lunch?

Answer from Kelley, PHR: You can deduct hours from this exempt employee’s PTO bank for time she was scheduled to work but didn’t work, but if it wasn’t made clear that you expected her to follow a set schedule, you’d only want to do this going forward. However, we’d suggest considering a different approach.
First, speak to her about the long lunches. It’s possible she simply misunderstands how long her lunch breaks are supposed to be and is taking what she believes to be the correct amount of time. Ensure she understands what the consequences will be if she continues to take long lunch breaks. This discussion alone might solve the problem.
Second, if the long lunch breaks persist, follow your standard disciplinary process. While PTO deductions are an option, they may not actually discourage the behavior you want to stop. If the employee is willing to use PTO to take long lunches, she may just continue taking them. Additionally, as this employee’s position is classified as exempt, if her PTO bank is exhausted, a deduction from her salary for missed time would not be permissible.

- If every U.S. family spent just $10 a month at a local business, over $9.3 billion would be returned to our economy

Question: What is pay transparency, and how does it help employers?

Answer from Sarah, PHR, SHRM-CP: Pay transparency refers to sharing information about pay with applicants, employees, and possibly the entire world. While some states and localities require that employers include a pay range with job postings, many employers now choose to do this on their own to stay competitive. But pay transparency can be taken much further. Employers that really want to commit to the project will often share pay ranges for positions or job types with their entire organization.

While being transparent about pay may feel uncomfortable, and may not go smoothly at first, it does have advantages. First, it saves time during the recruitment process. By disclosing compensation up front, typically in the job posting, employers discourage people who wouldn’t accept the salary offer from ever applying. Second, pay transparency on job postings has been shown to increase the number of applicants significantly. Many job seekers are unwilling to apply for positions that don’t indicate a pay range, and others will value the transparency for what it says about the organization. Third, it encourages compliance with equal pay laws by essentially forcing employers to choose and stick with a logical pay range for a position, at least on a going-forward basis. Finally, internal pay transparency, like sharing position pay ranges with the entire company (not each person’s individual wage rate), can reduce pay paranoia and gossip while also enabling employees to see what they can look forward to as they advance in their career.
