There are many reasons why people are expanding the use of their cell phones but there is one undeniable fact: mobile consumption of digital media is exploding. In fact, 37% of all digital media accessed is done through mobile devices. Fully 24% of all website traffic came from mobile devices, as of June 2013. (Career Builder's ebook, "Upward Mobility"). BOLT recognized this and responded with our new website. In reality the "website" is two distinct sites, both optimized for the devices used to access them. A generation ago, young people discarded newspapers in favor of the internet. A similar change appears underway as people use their mobile devices in preference to desktop or portable computers. At the moment, only 1 in 5 Fortune 500 companies have mobile-optimized websites, leaving room for more nimble companies to reach a burgeoning marketplace in the hands of millions of people. (Apologies to Career Builder, but we couldn't resist borrowing the headline!)

As employers we all are responsible for keeping the Department of Industrial Relations pacified. Hourly (non-exempt) employees get a half hour break before the start of the fifth hour of work. The break must allow them to leave their workstation and be relieved of all duties. If you have a BOLT employee on staff please be sure to indicate when the break was taken on each shift on our timesheet. If you have any questions please give Morgan a call at 939-2800. If you need further information, click here to see the regulation. It's a good idea to review this with your supervisors, especially if you don't have an HR Department.
