As
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act begins to take shape, employers
will find guidance as important as compliance in 2013. Employers
will face important decisions regarding part-time vs. full-time employees,
fees, taxes and paperwork , all the while trying to maintain a skilled,
motivated work force. According
to Keith Patterson, a resident expert on the health law based in Tennessee,
employers already are having to adjust their business models to meet these new
regulations.

Walk down
the hallways of the Appleton, Wisconsin, Central Alternative High School and
you will see students focused on their education, interacting successfully with
each other and with their teachers. Notice the calmness and purposefulness that
sets these teens apart from others. You will notice that the hallways are different in another
respect. They aren't lined with soft drink and junk food machines. Then check
out the cafeteria. There is no smell of grease. Burgers, fries and burritos
have been replaced with salads, meats prepared with old fashioned recipes, and
whole grain breads. Fresh fruits and vegetables are offered and the students
drink water. Grades are up,
truancy is no longer a problem, arguments are rare, and teachers are able to
spend their time teaching. What's going on in Appleton Wisconsin?

creative to turn a profit. With personnel costs one of the biggest line items, it often
becomes the first target for reduction. A feasible solution is temporary
workers, which costs less than permanent staff, saves time and offers
flexibility. Effectively using temporary staff during tough economic
times can help a business run lean and do more with less. For one, using
temporary workers avoids the costs of insurance, healthcare, taxes and other
benefits.

dinner. The result: an over
reactive chef deciding to throw the food on the floor, kick a stack of empty
boxes and scream at a poorly prep cook who forgot the chicken in the oven.
