School starting is about summer to end. This is so upset, though one to meet many advantages while go to learn, especially for fist time.

Hi Deb123,

When I say "leave" I mean hand in my resignation.  I have checked my Company HR Policy and I am entitled to any days that I have accrued.

You'll have to check your company HR policy. Every company is different. Same with country. If you mean leave as in quit, you may be entitled to nothing. But then again, it may not be that way, if you give notice. If you mean leave as in retirement, then you might be entitled to it all.

Checking Amazon, there was this one that maybe you might like: The New Executive Assistant : Exceptional Executive Office Management – March 12, 2018

Hello,

Apologies for my dim question, I am getting a tad confused on how to work my query out re my holiday accrual.

I have 22.5 days annual leave (pro rata).  I started after the Company leave starts, 1st Jan 2018 & ends in Dec 18.  I joined the Company on 5th Feb 18.

Have taken 5 days already, which leaves 17.5 left for the rest of the year.


If I leave the Company on 14th Sep 18 - how many days holiday am I entitled to get paid for?


Any guidance on calculation would be gratefully accepted.

Regards, 

Hello

Good Morning

I'm working for a German company in New Zealand and we are planning a little staff Oktoberfest with German sausages in Oktober. I bought a multicooker but we also want to use it for other things, not just once a year.

Has anybody any ideas/experience? - I was thinking along the lines of maybe having hot dogs every few month.

I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks, Christine

I would greatly appreciate some advice from fellow admin professionals.  I have a colleague who, years ago, used to be my admin assistant - a relatively junior post in our company structure.  She was promoted to EA to the Chief Executive, who happens to be my manager.  Her remit appears to be largely scheduling meetings for him and making travel arrangements, with some minuting of meetings.  She does not work at Board level. 

I am really pleased for her promotion as it is a big step for someone with no real prior experience at this level and limited education and training. What she lacks in experience, she makes up for in willingness and ability with computer packages. 

I can understand her natural pride in her elevation, but it is becoming more a case of "folie de grandeur".  We receive emails from her that are really dictatorial - polite requests are not part of her vocabulary, it seems - and hilarious offers to senior colleagues to "change my days of work so I can support you" at a Board meeting when no support is required nor is it in her remit.  Then she demands recognition for work she has done that in reality someone has then had to re-do as it was done poorly the first time.  I would hate her to fail and feel a certain protectiveness to someone who worked so closely with me at one time, but am cautious of intervening in something that is not really my business.

Have you encountered anything similar?  How did you/would you attempt to improve matters?

Thank you so much.
