Many employers have a clause in their handbook that states that terminated employees and employees who fail to give a two week notice of their resignation forfeit their vacation pay. After all, who wants to give vacation pay to someone who has been terminated for theft or sub-par work, or who quits without notice.

In my opinion, vacation pay is a privilege, and not something that employers are required to pay. In any event, it pays to stay on top of any laws that affect you and your business.

Here are some tips for hiring great employees.

Use a training program so everyone is trained the same. Have them sign off on the training program so they can't come back and say, "no one ever told me that. It is necessary to train everyone the same, covering everything you want them to cover.
Go after and follow up. Whether it's you in person or your supervisors. Once people are trained, you can't just leave 'em and forget 'em. People forget what they've learned so you need to remind them, point out what they're doing well and what they are not.
Recompense employees for outstanding work. Give bonuses for perfect attendance or whatever incentive you can think of. Conduct regular reviews and give them raises based on performance.
Recompense your employees well. Give them a reason to stick with you versus going to the competition because they pay a quarter an hour more than you do.
