My wif'e's down in Peru doing cleft palate surgeries with a bunch of other docs which leaves me cooking for the first time in about 12 years. Normally, as in before I was married normally, or rather before I had seven kids normally, I would have just high-tailed it down to La Belle Vie, the Twin Cities finest chef-owned French restaurant. But no, I've only got an hour to cook and eat before carting the 12-year-old off to a basketball game.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

The Japanese government has 'temporarily' closed down a staffing company and sent its stock tumbling. Despite having done business in Japan for 17 years, I don't understand it much. The notion of temporarily closing down a business for several months seems odd. Once closed down, how does it ever start up again? Apparently, investors don't have a good answer for that either.

The latter just went from 38F on Monday to a -40F wind chill today, one of the largest one-day temperature differentials ever recorded here. That's not as cold as it is for contractors and temporary workers at clients of bankrupt Chimes who haven't gotten paid.

Staffing company owner, are you expensing Lap Dances? I'm not trying to be moralistic here although I could, it's just a question: how long do you expect hard working operations people who actually make things happen put up with a double standard?

UK staffing stocks fell sharply in the last three months despite strong earnings and revenue growth. Turnover (British for 'Sales') increased 38% in the 4th quarter of 2008 for Michael Page, not bad but not enough to keep its stock from falling some 50% during that same period. A robust job market has done nothing to stem the crash as the Office for National Statistics reports the fastest increase in employment in 11 years according to the Financial Times.

An era of uncertainty has arrived in recruiting. The unpredictability that exists in the labor market can make it difficult for employers to know how they should respond in this environment. Despite the turbulence, recruiting professionals should be encouraged by recent trends.

Always meet prospective clients in person. Never send an employee to a client site that you haven't inspected. Always hand deliver your first invoice to your client's AP department. Never employ someone that you haven't met in person. Do thorough background checks on all employees, including and especially internal employees. Avoid payroll checks and if you insist on using checks always use positive pay.
