How to Pay for Private School: Tips and Advice & FREE EXPO TICKETS OFFER
It is the time of the year where parents from all over Canada are researching and selecting private schools for their children. Primary schools or high schools the choice is broad, and the decision important on many fronts – certainly the financial one. The expert in Private School selection from Our Kids, Christelle Agboka, has agreed to share with us (and you 🙂 ) Tips and Advice on how to Pay for Private Schools.

How to Pay for Private School: Tips and Advice
Private School tuition is inevitably one of the factors in parents' decisions whether or not to send their child to private school, and which school to choose.
In fact, private schools are largely viewed as only being available to a privileged few, but this is a common misconception. In 2001, Statistics Canada found that almost 30 per cent of children in private schools came from families with incomes of $50,000 or less, and other studies found that 85 per cent of private school students come from lower to middle class families.
Over the years, more and more of Canada's independent schools have been working to accommodate talented and qualified students of all socio-economic backgrounds.
"There's been quite a shift in the thinking of these schools compared to 25 years ago," says Susan Hazell, executive director of the Canadian Association of Independent Schools. "Now they are really keen to get the best students possible, from all demographics."
Indeed, many of the 1,735 schools listed with the Federation of Independent Schools in Canada now offer scholarships or bursaries. Many schools, Hazell says, have developed specialized advancement offices that focus on fundraising.
"These offices are dedicated to working on enhancing endowments from alumni, past and current parents, friends and so on, which can then be used for more grants and bursaries."
This shift has in turn helped to soften the public perception of financial aid. Tuition is the largest financial hurdle for families paying for an independent school education, and other costs mount up as well. But let us show you the plethora of options that make private school costs affordable for families from a range of socio-economic backgrounds.
Economic private school choices
Private school tuition ranges from around $4,000 a year to $40,000. Research different private schools and their costs until you find one that fits your budget and is a good fit for your child and family as a whole. Further, many schools are happy to accommodate families with flexible payment plans, so don't be afraid to approach them for creative solutions!
Family savings plan
Work private school costs, including tuition, uniform fees and transportation costs, into the family budget and start planning ahead. Seek budgeting help from a financial planner if necessary. Also consider expenses such as the separate cost of extracurricular activities that you may be saving by sending your child to private school. Be prepared to make sacrifices as a family and get your child or children involved by funneling money from part-time jobs to a private school savings account. Get extended family members (e.g., grandparents) if possible. A tax-free savings account is a good place to shore up funds.
According to Anne-Marie Kee, executive director of the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS), each year millions of financial aid dollars are distributed to families in an effort to attract the best and brightest. Carefully investigate your options, keeping in mind that larger, more established schools are most likely to provide financial aid. Find out what's available, from partial to full funding, and what the requirements are – e.g., academic excellence, community service or special talents. Then gather needed documents, such as tax forms, income statements and lists of assets, well before financial aid deadlines.
In your scholarship search don't overlook corporate funding from your employer, or community organization or government funding sources. For instance, you may be eligible for certain government tax breaks, including breaks for special needs students.

Illegal Fly Tipping in the English Countryside causing Social Issues to the Land Owners and Local Councils.
Farmers are the group most affected by the illegal dumping of large amounts of rubbish, according to new figures from the Environment Agency.
The finding has prompted the NFU to renew its call for urgent action to tackle the problem Fly-tipping remains a priority issue for rural communities, said NFU deputy president and Stuart Roberts.
The rising number of incidents is having a devastating impact on farm businesses across the country, said Mr Roberts. More must be done to prevent fly-tipping from taking place, reminding the public of their responsibilities and punishing offenders.
"This survey has again thrown into sharp focus the extensive problems fly-tipping is causing. I hear every day about industrial-scale amounts of rubbish such as builder's rubble, old furniture, kitchen appliances and used tyres being dumped in fields."
Earlier this year, the NFU's own rural crime survey revealed that fly-tipping was the most prolific crime experienced by NFU members, with nearly half (48%) of those surveyed saying they had been affected by fly-tipping in the past year.
Organised crime
"These crimes must be taken seriously," said Mr Roberts. "We need to understand the links to organised crime and commit to levelling up policing for both urban and rural areas to create a safer, cleaner and greener rural Britain.
"It's clear the public agree. Recently more than 50,000 people signed an open letter to the newly elected Police and Crime Commissioners calling for better collaboration to tackle prevention, clean-up and prosecution.
Mr Roberts added: "Everyone hugely values the benefits the countryside brings, and none of us want it blighted by huge amounts of rubbish being strewn across fields and on the sides of rural roads."
The NFU wants the Environment Agency to work together with police, local authorities, and farmers to tackle the problem. In some areas these relationships work well but the NFU says a more consistent approach is needed across the country.
It says householders should be better informed about their legal obligations to ensure their rubbish is properly handled. Many people may not realise they are criminally liable for their rubbish being illegally dumped, even if someone else is responsible.
"Offenders caught dumping waste illegally must also see the fines as a proper punishment and these must act as a deterrent," said Mr Roberts.

Bernice Brown Cronkhite had tremendous impact on Radcliffe and its development, serving longer than any other senior officer from 1923 to 1959: 36 years—first as vice president and dean, later the first dean of the Graduate School—this on top of her years as an undergraduate and graduate student.
I knew her best when I became director in 1978 of the Cronkhite Graduate Center, which is at the corner of Brattle and Ash Streets. Bernice was then retired and in her mid 80's. She would speak of the three ages of woman. You were young, middle-aged or truly remarkable. She was the latter as she continued to enjoy visiting the building, recalling how it came into being, occasionally meeting with resident students, who found her greatly to be admired. She was always poised, in command of a situation with a ready anecdote and a fund of well informed conversation.
Bernice Brown Cronkhite, Dean and Vice President of Radcliffe.
My earliest recollection of her goes back to the summer of '38—the year of the hurricane. She was then dean of the Graduate School. Her office was next to admissions where I typed form letters—an interim job after my own June graduation and a chance to improve my shaky typing. Memories are of a fashionably dressed and dignified lady rushing to appointments or picking up a speech someone more accomplished than I had typed. A graduate of the class of 1916, she became dean and vice president partly as a result of a chance meeting with Ada Comstock. They were in a train en route to an American Association of University Women meeting in Burlington, VT. Miss Comstock was dean of Smith College at the time. When she was appointed Radcliffe's third president in 1923, she chose Bernice as dean.
Bernice had abundant credentials, with a Ph.D. in international law, a year of study in Brussels under a distinguished professor of international law, and a year at Yale Law School which helped her prepare for the graduate degree. Incidentally, she was the Belgian professor's first woman student; and as she points out in her memoir The Times of My Life, "Yale Law School had never admitted women, but they decided to admit me." Another year abroad on fellowship gave her the opportunity to attend early meetings of the League of Nations in Paris and later in Geneva when that became League Headquarters. She greatly regretted that the US never joined the League. On her return, she worked for a time for the Boston Women's Municipal League, which trained women for Civil Service jobs.
Bernice was a scholar and administrator and also a woman who loved stylish clothes. She found that when she was in Paris, she could pick up courtier designs for a song after they had been on view at twice a year fashion shows. She was also fond of interior decorating and landscape design at her homes in Cambridge and Harvard, Massachusetts. She once told me that, as a child, her father had given her a free hand in planning her own room. Years and years later when I visited her for tea at her Concord apartment at 5 Concord Ave., I discovered that she changed the look of her living room each summer, covering furniture upholstery with light slip colors. Another example of this interest was the garden at the corner of Appian Way and Garden Street. While perhaps not as lovely as it used to be, remains a pleasant oasis today.
Lobby of the Graduate Center.
During her busy life as dean, she met Leonard Cronkhite, who became chairman of Atomic Instruments in Cambridge, when both served on a committee to set up arrangements for an exchange between American and British students. They were married in 1933. When Leonard was still courting Bernice, I remember a mutual friend's telling me that when she and Bernice were on a trip together, Leonard pursued her with red roses at strategic overnight stops much to the envy of my friend, Priscilla Gough Treat, a long time member of the First Parish in Cambridge.
Mrs. Cronkhite's dream as graduate dean was a residence for women graduate students who often had lonely lives in cramped and unattractive apartments. She promoted her cause with vigor, and Radcliffe owned land on Ash Street became the site of the Graduate Center. The cornerstone was laid in 1955, and the dedication took place the following year. When I was director of the Center from '78-'82, men were also residents. Radcliffe seminars and public procedures programs had their headquarters there, and countless meetings, conference and social events filled the attractive first floor rooms.
One day just at noon when the usual luncheon crowd was milling about, the fire alarm went off. Most people thought it just a drill. Lots of fire engines arrived. I was worried because Mrs. Cronkhite happened to be there at the time. Fortunately, the firemen, with help from our janitor, discovered the cause and dealt with the fire without too much commotion. Apparently a mattress in a student room on the floor next to a faulty electrical outlet had been smoldering and caught fire. I don't recall whether Mrs. Cronkhite was aware of the entire episode.
Another memory of those years illustrates the continuing tension between Radcliffe and Harvard, even though relationships had become increasingly intertwined. Mrs. Cronkhite had gone to New York to accept an honor of some sort and was staying at the Harvard Club. When she went down to breakfast, she was told — in no uncertain terms — women were not served at breakfast, but room service would be happy to bring breakfast to her room. She agreed reluctantly. I believe that not long thereafter the rules changed. During this same period we discovered we had the same University Health Services doctor. Her resilience and ability to bounce back after illness continually amazed him.
And then I remember being particularly grateful for a hotel she recommended in Madrid across the street from the Prado Museum. It was most convenient and lots cheaper than the Ritz, a few blocks away.
These are just a few glimpses of Bernice Cronkhite. She held national and international appointments, knew scores of people in the academic world and beyond—Henry Ford, for instance, diplomats and former students who established distinguished careers. Perhaps one of her most unexpected friendships was with a gypsy called Nation who first came to help with housekeeping at 5 Concord Ave. Early on, Nation Cooper disclosed that because of her gypsy upbringing she had never been to school, could not read or write. Bernice proceeded to teach her, found her efficient and intelligent. They became lifelong friends. Bernice Cronkhite genuinely liked people, reached out to them in ways that made a difference, helping them establish enduring connections and creating for herself a life full of joy and friendships.
My brother and I grew up in an age when most American families were church-going; children went to Sunday School and at 13 or 14 joined the Church. We were familiar with most of the Bible stories although I do not think I could ever recite in correct order all the Books of the Bible. I had at least some acquaintance with its great figures and I knew some passages by heart and many hymns. My generation was perhaps the last of which this could be said. The increase in automobiles to take people out of the city on Sunday, the growing popularity of Sunday sports and Sunday newspapers meant that fewer and fewer children went to Sunday School … I do not remember that our public school day was opened with prayer — I think not—the salute to the flag was our opening ritual. We understood that the story of Genesis was a "Bible story" not to be taken literally. We did not question the virgin birth or Easter. We believed that man descended from monkeys by a process of evolution reaching over unimaginable ages; certainly the monkeys we saw in the zoo looked and acted very much like us. If we thought of death and the hereafter at all it was in the belief that death was not the end. I remember believing that God was everywhere and knew everything I might think or do, good or bad.
The Unitarian Church with headquarters in Boston, I discovered, was a small group, compared with the Catholics, Baptists and Methodists. It had no creed but on the wall behind the pulpit at First Parish in Cambridge had been lettered the words from Micah, "What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" That seemed to me the sort of religion I wanted to follow and from then on I have been a member of the Unitarian Fellowship. Margery Brown and I both taught at the Unitarian Sunday School at First Parish.

History of Victoria University
Victoria University was originally established in 1916 with the name Footscray Technical School. Women first enrolled in day diploma classes in 1960. In the 1960s many European and Asian students also started attending the VU after changes to the Australian government's immigration policy made it easier for foreign students to arrive.
The institution changed its name to Victoria University of Technology and gained full university status in 1990. The name was changed again in 2005 when Victoria University assumed its current name.

Ashley Towe- VP of Sustainer Relations


Over the years, the base components of computer systems have dramatically changed. In order to standardize the design of the system, specifications standards were developed for desktop computers that define the various dimensions, layouts, and electrical requirements so that parts could be easily changed between vendors and systems. Since all computer system requires electrical power that is converted from high voltage wall outlets to the low voltage currents used by the components, power supplies have very clear specifications.
Desktop design specifications have been given a variety of names over the years. The original Advanced Technology or AT design was developed in the early PC years with the IBM compatible systems. As the power requirements and layouts changed, the industry developed a new definition called Advanced Technology Extended or ATX. This specification has been used for many years. In fact, it has undergone a large number of revisions through the years to deal with various power changes. Now a new format has been developed over the years called ATX12V. This standard is officially known as ATX v2.0 and above.
This is the most notable change for the ATX12V standard. PCI Express requires a 75-watt power requirement that was not capable with the older 20-pin connector. To handle this, 4 additional pins were added to the connector to supply the additional power through 12V rails. Now the pin layout is keyed such that the 24-pin power connector can actually be used on older ATX motherboards with the 20-pin connector. The caveat is that the 4 extra pins will reside off to the side of the power connector on the motherboard so be sure there is enough clearance for the extra pins if you plan on using an ATX12V unit with an older ATX motherboard.
As the power demands of the processors, drives, and fans keep growing on the system, the amount of power supplied over the 12V rails from the power supply has also grown. At higher amperage levels though, the ability of the power supply to generate a stable voltage was more difficult. In order to address this, the standard now requires any power supply that produces extremely high amperage for the 12V rail to be split into two separate 12V rails to increase stability. Some high wattage power supplies even have three independent 12V rails for increased stability.
Even through Serial ATA connectors could be found on many ATX v1.3 power supplies, they were not a requirement. With the rapid adoption of SATA drives, the need for the connectors on all new power supplies forced the standard to require a minimum number of connectors on the power supplies. Older ATX v1.3 units typically only provided two while newer ATX v2.0+ units supply four or more.
When the electrical current is converted from the wall outlet voltage to the lower voltage levels needed for the computer components, there is bound to be some waste that is transferred into heat. So, even though the power supply may provide 500W of power, it is actually pulling more current from the wall than this. The power efficiency rating determines how much power is pulled from the wall compared to the output to the computer. The newer standards require a minimum efficiency rating of 80% but there are many which much higher ratings.
When buying a power supply, it is important to buy one that meets all of the power specifications for the computer system. In general, the ATX standards are developed to be backward compatible with the older system. As a result, when shopping for a power supply, it is best to purchase one that is at least ATX v2.01 compliant or higher. These power supplies will still function with older ATX systems using the 20-pin main power connector if there is sufficient space.

                                   "name": "home remove",
                     "children": [{}],

    "name": "about-us remove",
    "children": [{
      "name": "product remove",
      "children": [{}],
    }]
  }

I have did code as below
function buildJSON($li) {
   var subObj = { "name": $li.contents().eq(0).text().trim() };
   $li.children('ul').children().each(function() {
     if (!subObj.children) { subObj.children = []; }
     subObj.children.push(buildJSON($(this)));
   });
   return subObj;
 }

 var obj = buildJSON($("#sortable").children());
 $('#sortable').append('
').find('pre').append(JSON.stringify(obj, null, 2));

Out put its something different

{
    "name": "home remove",
    "children": [
      {
        "name": "about-us remove",
        "children": [
          {
            "name": "product remove"
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "name": "product remove"
      },
      {
        "name": "about-us remove",
        "children": [
          {
            "name": "home remove"
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "name": "product remove"
      },
      {
        "name": "product remove"
      }
    ]
  }

Some entries are missing...
please help me where i missed code
thanks in advance

A: You were missing each li after loop over each children of parent ul.
And it won't return a single object. You will get data in json array format.
This is complete JS code.
 function FetchChild(){
     var data =[];
        $('#sortable > li').each(function(){
            data.push(buildJSON($(this)));
        });

        return data;
     }
    function buildJSON($li) {
   var subObj = { "name": $li.contents().eq(0).text().trim() };
   $li.children('ul').children().each(function() {
     if (!subObj.children) {
        subObj.children = [];
        }
     subObj.children.push(buildJSON($(this)));
   });
   return subObj;
 }
 var obj = FetchChild();
 $('#sortable').append('
').find('pre').append(JSON.stringify(obj, null, 2));

Scientific platform: our team developed a unique method of acoustic correction according to a user's individual hearing characteristics, and device (computer, smartphone, etc.) technical characteristics. The method provides natural sound. Another implementation of the method can provide so-called "antistress" effect, which corrects emotional coloring speech message by changing the timbre of voice.
The "Natural hearing" formula levels distortions brought in by sound reproduction systems. An amplification formula is used here: it functions in accordance with natural hearing curve and is intended for people without any hearing pathologies whose hearing, however, is subject to stress because of their professional activity. Broadband signal processing (without sub-band decomposition) provides the highest quality of voice communication and high intelligibility by keeping sibilants in the speech. A formula of natural hearing curve amplification is applied; it uses the data of user's hearing test by 9 bands per each ear.
The "Denoise" technology based on decreasing mask effect by frequency-dependent amplification of a useful signal. Simultaneously the algorithm takes into consideration individual hearing thresholds, frequency characteristics of a certain device, and incoming sound level. The spectral estimation of the the power spectral density of the ambient noise produced by the external microphone. To customize using the built audiometry implemented.
The Petralex technology protects user's hearing because it provides only selective amplification of only those signal components which are masked by noise, allowing a user to achieve high intelligibility with a relatively small increase in the overall volume. The second important effect is adapting the incoming audio signal to person's individual hearing profile, and selective amplification of frequencies which a worse heard by a certain user in a certain noisy environment.
Real time cancellation of tone (DTFM) signals, which are hazardous for hearing.
Implementing the "Natural" formula in music players, teleconferencing systems improves the perception level, because due to preliminary "in situ" hearing test the application adapts sound to individual hearing characteristics.
Implementing the "Natural" formula together with the "Petralex" and "Denoise" for call center agents enhances their effectiveness and protects hearing (www.petralexsolutions.com).
The specified combination is implemented also for music fans App (www.urbandenoiser.com) for simultaneous improvement of audio quality, hearing protection, and safety purposes.
The phonation mode change "Antistress" is useful for agents, while communications with aggressive and extra-emotional clients. This effect decreases perception of a client's emotional level, and creates "antistress" protection for an agent.

Fauci accused of misleading Congress about taxpayers' money given to Wuhan lab
Thursday, June 17, 2021 by: Nolan Barton
Tags: Anthony Fauci, badmedicine, badscience, conspiracy, coronavirus, coronavirus origin, corruption, covid-19, deception, EcoHealth Alliance, lies, pandemic, research, taxpayers' money, Wuhan Institute of Virology
(Natural News) Dr. Anthony Fauci has been accused of misleading Congress about the taxpayers' money given to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) to study bat coronaviruses.
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) said during a Senate questioning that $600,000 was donated to the WIV in the span of five years, but documents obtained by conservative activist group Judicial Watch revealed that the actual figure was $826,277.
"These new documents show that funding for the Wuhan Institute was greater than the public has been told," said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, which uncovered the discrepancy by using a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. "That it has taken a year and a federal lawsuit to get this first disclosure on COVID and Wuhan is evidence of cover-up by Fauci's agency."
Fauci, also the chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden, told a Senate hearing on May 25 that the U.S. funded the lab at the center of speculation about the origins of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
"We had a modest collaboration with very respectable Chinese scientists who were world experts on coronavirus, and we did that through a sub-grant from a larger grant to EcoHealth [Alliance]," Fauci said, referencing a nonprofit group that supported research into coronaviruses.
"The larger grant was about $600,000 over a period of five years. So it was a modest amount. The purpose of it was to study the animal-human interface, to do surveillance and to determine if these bat viruses were even capable of infecting humans."
Internal emails expose Fauci's lies
Internal emails within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and its sub-agency NIAID showed the true scale of funding. (Related: Fauci Virus: Shocking new evidence proves covid-19 began with Dr. Anthony Fauci and NIAID.)
In a document dated April 21, 2020, the Wuhan lab funding from NIAID via EcoHealth was detailed under the headline "NIAID Subawards to Wuhan Institute of Virology." The project title was "Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence."
In numerous interviews and public appearances, Fauci maintained that the money donated to the Wuhan lab was not meant for gain-of-function experiments, which are conducted to make viruses more contagious or deadly.
But in another appearance before the Senate last month, Fauci admitted that there is no way to know if Chinese scientists at the WIV lied and conducted gain-of-function experiments on bat coronaviruses using U.S. tax money.
"There's no way of guaranteeing that," Fauci said at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, responding to a question from Republican Senator John Kennedy. "But in our experience with grantees, including Chinese grantees, which we have had interactions with for a very long period of time, they are very competent, trustworthy scientists."
EcoHealth Alliance received $123 million from government
Recent reports emerged that NIAID may not be the only government organization funding the Wuhan lab. (Related: Pentagon exposed for funneling $39 million to Peter Daszak, EcoHealth Alliance to produce novel coronavirus bioweapons.)
EcoHealth Alliance, the same nonprofit group that used federal grants to fund research into coronaviruses at the WIV, reportedly received $39 million from the Pentagon and $123 million overall from different government agencies until last year.
Exactly how much of that money went toward research at the WIV is unknown.
The lab-leak theory has been gaining momentum since Biden asked the intelligence agencies to take a closer look at the possibility and pressured the World Health Organization to get the underlying data from China.
Biden on May 26 said the intelligence agents were divided on two possible scenarios: laboratory leak and natural transfer from animal to human. "I have now asked the intelligence community to redouble their efforts to collect and analyze information that could bring us closer to a definitive conclusion, and to report back to me in 90 days," said Biden.
But the president also said a final answer may never be found given the way that China refused to cooperate in the early days of an outbreak, which has gone on to kill 3.8 million people around the world.

What is a poem: words, emotions or images? In his new, first collection, Andrew Michael Roberts tests the limits of just how compact a poem can be and still hold meaning and ideas.
In the collection he calls a "book of small poems," Roberts works on the micro level to create a series of poems – images really – that are mostly playful and endearing. Many reminded me of William Carlos Williams' small works, while others brought Charles Simic's short line imagery to mind.
And when I say small, I mean tiny – some poems consist of fewer than 10 words. But when they work, they are brilliant. Two examples are "Explain Yourself" and "Strip Mall," both reproduced here in their entirety.
my life was like this when i found it.
so i walked with it the entire way.
When your entire arsenal consists of less than a dozen syllables you'd better hit it out of the park. And aside from his perplexing resistance to using capital letters, Roberts is able to conjure up funny and meaningful images with nearly no space or time.

Il Colle del Felik (Felikjoch in tedesco, Félékjoch in Greschòneytitsch; Col du Félik in francese) è un valico alpino che sorge a quota 4061 m s.l.m. nelle Alpi Pennine.

Caratteristiche

Il colle si trova tra il Monte Castore e il Lyskamm e si affaccia sulla Valle d'Aosta e sul Vallese. Nei pressi del colle si trova la Punta Felik (4.093 m).

Accesso
Lo si può raggiungere partendo dal Rifugio Quintino Sella al Felik (itinerario alpinistico).

Il percorso, relativamente semplice, percorre per la prima parte una zona con pendenze molto piccole, inerpicandosi poi su una cresta che termina sul colle.

Have you ever tried fig butter? I found it in Trader Joe's and it is quite yummy. It tastes like the inside of a Fig Newton cookie. Try this recipe for a great gluten and dairy-free muffin when you see fig butter in the store.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat eggs, fig butter, vanilla, water, maple syrup and oil with electric mixer until well blended. Sift in coconut flour, baking powder, sea salt and beat until blended. Line muffin tin with parchment paper liners and fill muffin cups evenly. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the muffins are set and edges are turning brown.


No matter your business' size, type, or industry, timekeeping is a critical factor in managing both productivity and costs. And unlike many products and procedures, it requires input from employees on all levels and in all departments, multiple times a day. Even when everyone is acting in good faith, there are inevitably errors that need to be corrected, from missed punches to double punches to incorrectly categorized time.
Buddy punching is when one employee clocks in or out for another, allowing their friend to remain on the clock (and thus, getting paid) without actually being present.
Though buddy punching is often used in small amounts to prevent friends from being reprimanded from tardiness, some employees have been discovered to use buddy punching to get paid for hours or even days of work they never completed. In total, buddy punching costs American employers $373 million annually.
How to put an end to buddy punching.
There are two groups of people who engage in buddy punching: those who don't realize that it's inappropriate (this is a larger group than you might imagine), and those who engage in buddy punching with the full understanding that it's illegal.
To eliminate buddy punching in the workplace, you'll need to make sure you're addressing both groups.
1. Make sure your timekeeping practices are explicit.
You've obviously shown your new employees how to track their time using whatever system or program you have. Was part of that training an explanation of time theft and payroll fraud? For some people, the idea of saving their friend a walk down to the time clock and back doesn't connect with their idea of a crime like fraud.
Make sure you're being clear that clocking yourself (and only yourself) in and out isn't optional, and that clocking someone else in or out (or asking a friend to do it for you) is a serious offense. It can help to explain that this goes both ways: if they would be horrified to know that management was falsifying their time, they should know that falsifying their own time is equally serious.
2. Ditch the old paper timecard.
While most organizations these days have moved on to digital time clocks, there are still plenty smaller employers that are still asking employees to track their time on paper. Unfortunately, this is the easiest kind of system to fake.
If you have absolutely no other option but paper timekeeping, at least make sure that each individual employee has their own time card or sheet, and that the time clock is located under someone's watchful eye, whether it's a manager, an administrative or HR employee, or someone in security. Make sure that the time clock's guardian is aware of what to look for when it comes to buddy punching. Installing a prominent security camera aimed at the time clock is always a good idea as well.
3. If using standard digital punches, make passwords sensitive.
With digital time clocks, you typically need a unique ID number or username and sometimes a PIN or password in order to clock in or out. Of course, this doesn't stop employees from sharing their code with others.
One way to combat this is by making the login data something that employees might not want to share with others. If the ID number is the same as their social security number, most employees will want to keep that information private. Similarly, if the username and password to use the time clock is the same username and password for accessing tax documents and payroll information, this immediately decreases the chances that these will be shared between coworkers.
4. Biometric scans can be effective.
Face, fingerprint, hand, or iris scans are all options for linking time clocks to a single person, and they're becoming more popular over time. While these can be effective, they usually require special software in addition to the equipment itself.
Depending on how many employees and locations you have, you may be looking at more money to purchase and maintain the system than you are losing in time theft each year. A thorough analysis of your specific needs is smart before investing in biometric technology.
Buddy punching is just one of the many wrinkles that reality throws into our ideal systems.
Is your timekeeping system serving your business well, or is it doing a better job serving an imaginary company where everything runs perfectly as a matter of course?
