Jessica Jang 9:27
I just got a message from a staff member in sales saying that salaries for her department have not been deposited yet. They should have come in yesterday afternoon.

 

Jessica Jang 9:28
Has anyone else gotten similar complaints from other departments?

 

William Stuttgart 9:34
I just checked with production and they got theirs, but those in purchasing did not. Neither did the employees in finance. Oh, and my salary hasn't come in either.

 

Jessica Jang 9:35
Nor mine. This is quite strange. I checked with research and development and they got theirs. I wonder if Erin's heard anything.

 

Erin Hinkle 9:37
Sorry, I was on the phone just now. None of us in human resources has gotten paid, apparently. I discovered this issue earlier this morning, and I just contacted Beacon Bank to find out the cause of the problem. They promised a response in the next 10 minutes.

 

Erin Hinkle 9:44
So, the bank says they had some technical issues with a new payment software system that they recently started using. They've resolved the problem now and those who haven't been paid yet should have their funds within the next hour. Let me know what happens.

William Stuttgart 10:34
I just received notification from the bank that the funds have been sent.

 

Jessica Jang 10:35
Same here. Erin, could you contact the other departments to confirm that the problem's been solved?

 

Erin Hinkle 10:36
OK. I can do that.

From: Samantha Jackson (sam-J135@toysandme. com)
To: Staff members at Toysandme Inc. Fredawood
Subject: Yoga program for pregnant employees

I'm sure you've already received company newsletters about the upcoming fitness for pregnant employees. The company has implemented this program not only to boost our brand image as family-friendly toy producers, but also to support the recent government program for pregnant employees. The personnel director, Justin Tremblay, has entrusted me with the responsibility to gather a group of pregnant employees at Toysandme Fredawood to be included in the program.

The yoga program will be named "Yoga for Mamas. " It will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays, one hour before each shift, at 2:00 P. M and at 9:00 p.m. A yoga instructor specialized in pregnancy care has been dispatched by the Ministry of Gender Equality to lead this exercise program.

The company urges employees to register for Yoga for Mamas to receive a 50% government subsidy on postpartum services, including a postnatal depression test, infant vaccine shots and more.

We believe that Yoga for Mamas is an excellent program for expectant mothers to stay healthy and ease work pressure. To enroll for a membership, please contact me via e-mail or at 562-9024.

40. Who requested Samantha Jackson to form a group of pregnant employees?
41. What benefit will "Yoga for Mamas" members receive?
42. What is true about the e-mail?

HELEN COULTER [July 15, 9:54 A.M.] I hope you are all having a good break. I just heard back from the producer of Timelight this morning, and they would like to extend Kitchen Belle's catering contract for another two years. The studio has renewed the TV series. Shall we keep the same schedule as last year, or would you like to switch times?
ELAINE PAINTER [July 15, 10:00 A.M.] That's great news! It will guarantee the business a steady income. I know Henry Lincoln usually does breakfast, but as long as he doesn't have a problem with it, can I take the morning shift instead of lunch this time?
GRAHAM FULTON [July 15, 10:04 A.M.] It's fine by him. He's with me now and just told me so, Elaine. He'd actually prefer midday. As for me, I want to stick with the breakfast shift. Will there be any extra evening shoots this year?
HELEN COULTER [July 15, 10:05 A.M.] So Elaine and Graham can do the 7:30-11:00 shift, and Henry and I will do 11:30-3:30. There will be some evening shifts for extra pay, but none that will end past midnight. In addition, the show will also be filmed outside the studio this season, so we'll have to make adjustments. Anyway, we can discuss that issue when we return from vacation next week.
ELAINE PAINTER [July 15, 10:07 A.M.] Will the number of cast and crew be the same?
GRAHAM FULTON [July 15, 10:07 A.M.] It sounds like more work than last year.
HELEN COULTER [July 15, 10:08 A.M.] Yes, Elaine. There will be a total of 88 to feed rather than 67. And Graham, I think it will be more work. But they are paying us more, so I think we can afford to hire a couple of food preparation assistants.

43. At 10:04 A.M., what does Mr. Fulton most likely mean when he writes, "It's fine by him"?
44. When will Mr. Lincoln start his regular shifts next season?
45. What is implied about Timelight?
46. What will happen next week at Kitchen Belle?
