They know exactly what they have for assets and liabilities, and will be required to file a list of the latter. Bankruptcy laws don’t require them to disclose anything more than a range in this initial filing.

Re: [AFMUG] OT Covid measures at work
Both of my local CVS stores have 70%. The higher percentage stuff is really difficult to find. For disinfectants, incidentally, vet supply companies have tons of supply if you are running short of Lysol/etc. Stericide and other brands are even still available on Amazon.

Re: [AFMUG] OT Swimming Pools
We have a freshwater pool here in Indiana. We get 5 months out of it, with some heating at the front and back end. We add water most Augusts/Septembers once the nights get cooler and you have more evaporation, but that adds only $25-50 to our water bill in those months. We haven't converted to saltwater because there seems to be no need. We spend *maybe* $7-$8 a week on chemicals, and I buy all the chemicals (liquid chlorine, muriatic acid, Borax/soda ash--those are literally all you need until you winterize) at Ace Hardware or Lowe's. We moved away from using stabilized chlorine tablets or shocks as they just resulted in using more and more chemicals and having to maintain much higher chlorine levels because the pool ended up overstabilized with CYA values that were off the charts. As for cleaning, we invested $1200 in a Dolphin robot pool cleaner. I throw it in the pool once a week, twice when the cottonwood is blowing around. I might spend 15-20 minutes a week maintaining the pool. I'd vote for doing it.

Re: [AFMUG] Paying employees per install/service call
Remember that if you do pay incentive pay like this (perfectly o.k. to do it) that any incentive pay likely then becomes part of the hourly rate calculation when paying overtime. So, your installer making $10/hour plus $100 in incentives who works 45 hours in a week is actually being paid $12.22/hour (45 x $10 + $100=$550/45=$12.22) and OT would be $18.33/hour, not $15.
