<p>The law that has been on again off again over the past two to three years is here and it&#8217;s real. According to a local STL rehabber blog that I read occasionaly, the EPA is coming out big in the way of fines.&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://thresholdstl.com/apartments/new-epa-lead-regulations-burden-to-rehabbers">There is no doubt that many contractors and property owners are going to simply ignore this new law (it hasn&rsquo;t been publicized much), but it seems that the feds have thought ahead about that. They have instituted a fine system which can charge violators up to $37,500 a day for not following the rules. Most small-time operators would probably not see such large fines, but the EPA is certainly taking a punitive approach to this new rule.</a></p>
<p>What have you done to prep for this moment? Do you use in-house painters and or contracted third parties to paint your apartments? This will no doubt be a burden for all involved.&nbsp;</p>

As such I thought I would post the important points of our policy as a way to hopefully starting some discussion.</p>
<p>In brief of our policy is as follows:</p>
<p>1. Employees are paid for one-hour minimum &#8211; if they physically leave their home to complete a call</p>
<p>2. They are paid at time and a half</p>
<p>3. They are paid mileage from their legal residence</p>
<p>I am curious about other nuances our there; please drop us a comment as the community is interested.</p>
<p>And, I do hope that you have an amazing and over the top weekend.</p>

This one is for you service supervisors out there that need a little video to augment your hands on training. Think repetition. Play to the various ways of learning information. </p>
<p>This video demonstrates how to fix your garbage disposal. </p>
<p>Office teams, how many times have you tried to describe that little button on the bottom of the disposal or that cock-eyed wrench you use to get the motor going again after junior put his hot-wheel down the drain. Why not send this over instead? </p>
