KCF Inc. Memo: Time Management

Take a minute to read these recommendations about time management:

1. Take the first twenty minutes of every day to review your schedule. Mark down the things most important for that day.
2. Carry the schedule with you so that you can use it for reference when needed. If any new events are added to your weekly schedule, write them down. 
3. Dedicate ten minutes at the end of the day to review the schedule and see how you spent your time. 
4. Take five minutes before every business call to decide what result you wish to attain. Review what insurance options you can offer a client and know exactly what you are aiming to sell.
5. Put up a "Do not disturb" sign when you absolutely have to get work done.

State Code: Workplace Violence

Workplace violence is defined as an act of violent behavior that occurs at the work site. It can include threats, verbal abuse, physical assaults, and even homicide. Workplace violence can affect employees, clients, customers, and visitors. Research has identified factors that may increase the risk of violence at some work sites:

• Coming in direct physical contact or providing direct care to the public

• Working alone or in isolated areas

• Working late at night or in areas with high crime rates

If any company employee witnesses an act of violence, he or she must report that act to a superior. This is a mandatory policy in all workplaces regardless of the type of business the employee works in. This policy should cover all violence toward workers, patients, clients, visitors, contractors, and anyone else who may come in contact with company personnel. 

• Construction Work Notice

Until construction work is complete, some of the elevators and hallways of the municipality building will be closed. The top three floors of the building will be inaccessible. So, the finance and human resource departments will be temporarily moved to the basement. Municipality employees working between the 5th and 8th floor should take the elevator to the 4th floor and then the stairs from there. Employees who can’t use the stairs should temporarily move their offices to the common area in the west wing. Public relations employees should move to the second floor of the main building as the hallway leading to the east wing will be closed off. This coming Wednesday, access to all offices below the 5th floor will be closed. We apologize for the inconvenience. Remember, it is all for a good cause!

Re: Company Departmental Reorganization

As you all know, we have recently been through a large-scale reorganization of all technological departments. It has been brought to our attention that this reorganization might have caused some confusion as to the company’s new structure. A detailed explanation will be provided by each department manager. In the meantime, attached here is an overview of the new departments (now called ‘groups’) and their main responsibilities:

Storage and Memory Group: The Storage and Memory Group includes affordable hard drives and disk-on-keys, as well as fair-price DVD devices and RAM drivers, among other products. Arclight has been the market leader in affordable technology of these products ever since it developed its trademarked DiskO over fifteen years ago.

Computers Group: The Computers Group offers laptops and tablets, varying in size and features. Arclight is expected to expand this group to incorporate smartphone manufacturing within the coming year, when relevant research is completed. These will become Arclight’s highest-priced products.

Peripheral Devices Group: In this group, Arclight offers computer and cellular phone accessories, such as mice, keyboards, and headphones. The prices of these products vary, depending upon changing economic conditions. Last year, the prices for these products proved to be too low for customers, which inspired a lack of confidence.

Limited Edition Products Group: Arclight has produced several limited edition products. These include the Arclight Razor Thin Ultrabook and Arclight Phantom cameras. The company has discontinued production of these products, considerably higher-priced than other Arclight products, in spite of their high profitability, in order to preserve their exclusivity.

Gadgets Group: Arclight’s newest group, the Gadgets group, offers a wide range of small-sized peripheral products that are not necessarily technological but rather technology-related: keychains, mouse mats, screen lights, water bottles, and more. This is Arclight’s “greenest” group, which takes pride in its use of sustainable materials and low prices.

Renewals

To keep your state driving privilege valid, the renewal may be completed six months before your license expires (usually on your birthday). The license can still be renewed three months after its expiration, until which you are entitled to your driving privileges, but these expire at midnight three months after the expiration date and are not valid until the renewal is processed. Driver's licenses issued to foreign nationals whose presence in the United States is temporarily authorized under federal law may not be renewed by mail.

Type of Driver License Exam Station Renewal Options

Full-service driver's license holders must renew their licenses and pay their fees in person at the state office. This requires scheduling an appointment a month in advance. Rural, limited-service driver's license holders must renew in person, but they should first pay for their license at the county treasurer’s office and get a prepaid receipt, which should be presented to the driver examiner.
If you are a state resident who is temporarily outside the state and will not return before the expiration of your state driver's license, you may renew by mail. However, after renewing by mail, your next renewal must be completed in person at a driver's license exam station.

Ohio State Law
Riding on roadways and bicycle paths

A. Any person operating a bicycle shall obey the instructions of official traffic-control regulations, signals, signs, and other control devices applicable to vehicles, unless directed otherwise by a police officer. Whenever authorized signs indicating that no right or left is permitted are present, no person operating a bicycle shall disobey the direction of any such sign. Such a person shall dismount from the bicycle to make any such turn and obey the regulations applicable to pedestrians. 

B. Every person operating a bicycle when riding upon a roadway shall further avoid making any right, left, or U-turn except:

• When the road is completely clear of vehicles.
• When the rider of the bicycle is given the right of way from any approaching vehicles via a clearly visible signal, such as blinking of lights.
• When such a turn is necessary to avoid risk and potential danger.

C. Every person operating a bicycle upon a roadway shall ride as near the right-hand side of the road as practicable, except:

• When moving at the same speed as traffic.
• When preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.
• When reasonably necessary to avoid hazardous conditions (including, but not limited to, fixed or moving objects, vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, animals, surface hazards, or narrow-width lanes) that make it unsafe to continue along the right-hand curb or edge.
• When approaching a location where there is reasonable probability that a motor vehicle may turn right, crossing the bicycle's path.

1.

A child reaches compulsory school age on the prescribed day following his or her fifth birthday (or on his or her fifth birthday if it falls on a prescribed day). The prescribed days are 31 December, 31 March, and 31 August. The term "summer-born" is used to refer to children born from 1 April to 31 August. These children are not required to start school until a full school year after the point at which they could have first been admitted. 

2.

2A. School admission authorities are required to provide for the admission of all children in the September following their fifth birthday, but flexibilities exist for summer-born children whose parents do not feel they are emotionally ready to begin school in the school year starting immediately after their fifth birthday. They should note that while evidence shows that, statistically speaking, summer-born children tend to perform less well on school tests, teachers are skilled at differentiating the curriculum to meet a diverse range of needs.
2B. Where a parent requests admission for a child out of his or her normal age group, the school admission authority is responsible for making the decision to which year group the child should be admitted. The authority is required to make a decision on the basis of the circumstances of the case and in the best interests of the child concerned.
2C. There is no statutory barrier to children being admitted outside their normal age group, but parents do not have the right to insist that their child be admitted to a particular age group.
2D. In cases in which a school’s capacity does not allow for the admission of children in a certain age group, priority in admission will be given to the oldest children. Summer-born children, in these cases, may be required to postpone their entry into the school system for one year.
