SUBJECT: Office Manager's Report - 2001 Wrap-Up
Because we've been without one full-time staff member for most of the time since last April, I'm
starting this monthly reporting procedure to keep you up to date on TDNA's member service
programs, financial status, office operation and whatever projects I may be working on. Putting my
activities in a memo should give us both a better chance to keep an eye on things and to prioritize.
Staff Position:
I've talked to Helen about committing to three months of part-time work. She has proposed
working 18 hours a week: 7 hours per day (9-4) on Monday and Tuesday, off Wednesday, 4 hours on
Thursday (or Friday if we prefer). She doesn't care what 4 hours we set for Thursday or Friday so
long as it's between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Working two 7-hour days will allow her to follow
through on jobs rather than starting and stopping. Longer days also cut down on the number of days
she has to get dressed for the office and drive to and from work.
She will eat her lunch will working and not take an extra unpaid hour to stop for lunch.
When the convention is closer she will add hours as necessary, and she will attend the
convention as usual.
Helen would like to be paid $12 an hour. That would cost TDNA an additional $16 per week
($216 for 18 hrs@12.00, versus $200 for 20 hrs@10.00).
Helen is very comfortable with retirement and is not looking for a job, but the three-month
part-time commitment would allow her to save money for her trip to Greece in May.
After we discuss Helen's proposal, I'll check back with Christy at Volt about the candidate they
sent us. This morning I left an answering machine message for the candidate whose interview was
postponed while I was having a root canal. The third person I wanted to interview is off the list
because she wants $15 an hour.
Updates:
" I couldn't find an appropriate manual for programming our two 10-button Merlin
telephones (yours and receptionist's) so I'm checking online for old instruction manuals.
" 2002 directories will be delivered late next week. Covers are done, associate directory is
done, newspaper directory is being printed. Helen and I will get to proof one more time
before they're bound, but only for printer errors.
