Article Abstract:
One of management's problems is getting salespeople to submit their expense reports on time. Certain disciplinary measures, such as penalizing the employees have been tried, but it is likely that actions such as withholding wages could create legal problems for the company. One suggestion to help solve the problem of late submission is to do away with cash advances. Also, the issuance of corporate charge cards billed directly to the employee will induce them to make timely submissions.

Article Abstract:
Newly hired employees on their first day on the job should be accorded special attention. This is a suggestion from the Practical Supervision newsletter which also states that the first day has a considerable impact on the employee's morale and enthusiasm. A provided duty list should be reinforced with personal discussions on important aspects of the job to ensure that work priorities are clearly stated. Making the employee feel at home and needed is also recommended.
